1. AEPAC has polled the diaspora on their opinions about the renewed fighting in #Ethiopia.

Over 1000 respondents took part & the survey was open, meaning that anyone could respond to it.

Read on for the results:
2. Over 68% of respondents said they had friends or family directly impacted by the fighting.

This shows how pervasive the violence has become & why people are so worried that the TPLF will harm their loved ones.
3. In addition to the above, over 94% of respondents blame the TPLF for restarting the hostilities.

This reveals that the TPLF's disinformation campaign is seeing diminishing returns. It is vital now for US leaders to fact-check info before acting on it.
4. The @StateDept policy approach towards #Ethiopa has significantly disappointed the community, with a majority of respondents wanting them to condemn the TPLF.

The US gov must realign its approach to be more constructive towards the peace effort & away from pro-TPLF policies.
5. Only through peace will the Horn of Africa be able to resist terrorist orgs & US regional adversaries.

The @_AfricanUnion peace effort in #Ethiopia is key to this & is well supported by the diaspora. We urge the int'l community to support the AU effort before it's too late.

It is time for serious scrutiny of the @WHO Director-General @drtedros's role in the war in #Ethiopia.

During the past year, he has increasingly distorted the realities of the conflict to suit his personal interests.

Read on for our fact-checking record 👇
Content posted to @DrTedros's social media channels and @WHO social media channels suggest political intent.

We have correlated the promotion of #Tigray vs #Afar & #Amhara content on these channels below:
An analysis of Dr Tedros's public comments since Nov 2020 shows he has not once referenced suffering in #Afar & #Amhara.

This is at a time when @UNHumanRights describes the Afar situation as “dire with alarming levels of food insecurity and malnutrition.”

"Is condemnation, are sanctions, are visa restrictions, the right course of action by leaders in Brussels and Washington, actions that destabilize and negatively impact the most vulnerable in society? I don’t think so." 2/4
"It’s vital the conflict in #Tigray is brought to an end. The current declaration of a unilateral ceasefire by the Ethiopian Government is welcome and will hopefully be heeded by the other parties to avert further humanitarian disaster." 3/4
