This article from #NoMore co-founder @Stesfa and @AnnGarrison about @DrTedros's use of his influence within the UN on behalf of TPLF interests is the best analysis of this issue so far. A thorough and deep dive into his world which makes use of @jeffpropulsion's stolen audio.

@stesfa @AnnGarrison @DrTedros @jeffpropulsion A logical place for the UN to have started its efforts to determine whether @DrTedros has broken rules (he has) would be in begin an inquiry around this audio recording by talking to Dennia Gayle, Maureen Achieng and the ETH Resident Coordinator, Catherine Sozi.
@stesfa @AnnGarrison @DrTedros @jeffpropulsion From what we can tell the two @UNEthiopia suspended staff members and publicly exposed whistleblowers Dennie Gayle and Maureen Achieng have simply been placed on ice, recalled to Geneva where they are required to stay silent.
@stesfa @AnnGarrison @DrTedros @jeffpropulsion @UNEthiopia The UN took great offence at and objected very loudly when several of his staff were later expelled, looking more closely at those expelled staff and trying harder to get information from the Govt. of Ethiopia about its concerns about them might also be a good place to look.
Finally, @SirMarkLowcock needs to be called to account for his actions. The accusations in this article relate to decisions made when he was @UNReliefChief. After the expulsions he wrote this very intemperate and factually flawed description of the crisis. cgdev.org/blog/how-destr…
Clearly he has something to hide.
The UN has a responsibility to investigate itself and learn from its mistakes. Its mistakes in Ethiopia/Tigray are of a different and very pernicious nature to issues it has had to address before.

This time the failures and mistakes appear to have been made at the highest level of the UN leadership. Politically addressing this may be difficult for the organisation, but if it fails to do so this issue will fester inside the organisation and do far more damage.
