1/ @DrTedros, recently accused the 'IC' of being racist for paying more attention to #Ukraine.
We (@Qnie_Addis & @Kings_of_Nile) analysed his tweets, RTs & likes starting from Oct 2021. Given his pronouncements, what we found was quite revealing.
2/ When you pay close attention to his Twitter activity, despite his protestations, #Tigray predominate his TL. He sometimes tweets, RTs or likes up to 8 Tigray related tweets per day! He has tweeted, RTd or liked tweets mentioning Tigray 208 times over the past 23 months!
3/ What about #Yemen you ask? And #Syria? Surely, the man who claims to be the conscience of the world would tweet incessantly about these humanitarian crises that had been raging for years. Nope! In reality, they are occasionally invoked only to accompany #Ukraine and Tigray.
4/ Unsurprisingly, Tigray is a fixture in his TL, accounting for 5-10% of his weekly Twitter activity. But surely, he will also tweet about #Amhara & #Afar being decimated by TPLF. After all, it is not as if he is a raging tribalist, right? Well you are in for a big surprise! 👇🏾
5/ His activism actually intensified after TPLF was pushed out of most of Amhara and Afar. He played the role of chief propagandist to a t; giving his TPLF colleagues a much needed cover, as they commit unspeakable atrocities against Amhara & Afar while holding Tigrayans hostage.
6/ What about the destruction of 2000+ health facilities in Amhara & Afar? Surely, at least the @WHO's Surveillance System for Attcaks on Health Care (SSA) would definitely capture these incidents, right? Sadly, NO!
To this day the SSA puts the number of attacks on health care in Ethiopia at 0 while attacks on Ukranian health facilities are recorded meticulously. How anti racist of Tedros?!
7/ we also zoomed in and looked at his twitter activity in the week of TPLFs most recent invasion of Amhara.
8/ @DrTedros, who has been tweeting and retweeting about Tigray feverishly the past 10+ months, went radio silent re Tigray in the days leading up to August 24. Between August 20 & 24, he tweeted only once! On August 24, TPLF launched its invasion of Amhara region.
9/ It was as if he knew what his TPLF colleagues were up to or was part of the decision to launch the attack. 🤔🤔
Kind of reminiscent of his self isolation due to 'COVID-19' around Nov 2, 2020. [ 👇🏾Courtesy of @GraceHoneypot ]
10/ In peak irony, the man who accused the caucasian world of paying more attention to Ukraine, actually tweeted,RTd & liked tweets about the region where he hails from more times than #Ukraine, #Syria and #Yemen........COMBINED!
You just can't make this up!

1/ TPLF is facing serious setbacks in the battlefield, despite rearmmamanet and logistical support from Egypt and the UN. The Americans are convinced the only way to keep #TPLF viable is to bring them to the negotiation table.
2/ The US and probably EU have strong armed the AU to be included in the negotiation in some capacity; to make sure TPLF gets a better deal than it deserves based on it's current military standing.
3/ If the GoE refuses, then the sanctions and 'genocide' determination will be reactivated. Behind th scenes, the cosponsors of #HR6600 have increased from 9 to 18 between April and Sptember! In a way this negotiation is between the USG and GoE!
1/ Folks! @timnitGebru finally told the truth. She does not care about atrocities and rapes against Ethiopians who happened to be from the wrong ethnic group.
2/ Remember the girls that were kept as sex slaves and raped for days on end by TPLF soldiers in Shoa Robit? Timnit does not think their pain matters!
3/ Remember the thousands of Amharas systematically exterminated from Welkait over a period of decades? Timnit believes their lives do not matter because they came from the wrong ethnic group.
Thread #BloodyWinter: winter is coming to Ethiopia and it is going to be bloody
1/ In 2-3 months the rainy season will be upon Ethiopia. I am hoping against hope that I am wrong, but I am afraid it is going to be the bloodiest winter in our history!
2/ It appears, both #TPLF & its backers have given up their hope of bringing #TPLF back to power & have settled for an independent #Tigray to serve as their #HOA proxy to disrupt the region. The catch: An independent #Tigray can not be realized without #Welkait.
3/ #TPLF is using this respite to appease the populace severely affected by food shortage and the terrible cost of the loss from the previous campaign in terms of human life and replenish its dwindling supply to feed its army.
#HR6600: Promising Blood, Tears and More Blood for Ethiopia
1/ Engineered by #DrEvil, powered by @PowerUSAID, introduced by @RepMalinowski and financed by the pro_TPLF diaspora, #HR6600 promises to inaugurate a decade of bloodshed, starvation and instability in the HoA.
2/ @StateDept supported TPLF up until the last moment with the hope TPLF will come back to power. With their dreams dashed, it seems they came to the conclusion that their best bet is to work with the GOE. The ambassador was replaced & @PowerUSAID's seems to have been sidelined.
3/ Now, @DrTedros & @PowerUSAID are spearheading a change in strategy. The new strategy is all about twisting the arm of @StateDept through bills passed by the Senate or Congress.
To War, or Not to Be: Why #TPLF will ALWAYS choose war
1/TPLF backed by formidable western allies failed to deliver Addis and apparently lost their unqualified support. With thousands sacrificed with nothing show in return, TPLF is stuck between a rock & a hard place.
2/ TPLF knows it can only survive if there is active conflict. Without war keeping the populace in a state of near constant fear and paranoia will be nigh impossible. This makes the prospect of ordinary Tigrayans showing their discontent, a very real possibility.
3/ With that in mind TPLF will do all it can to keep the war going. After another round of conscription TPLF has been getting ready to launch an all out attack against #Afar and #Amhara.
1/ 5.5 million people died of COVID-19 under @DrTrdros's watch. The fall from grace of the @WHO under #TedrosTheTerrible might have caught many people by surprise but not many #Ethiopians.
2/ Ethiopian health professionals gasped in disbelief when @DrTedros was elected to lead @WHO in May 2017. A man who grossly mismanaged three Cholera epidemics getting elected to manage the World Health Organization; what could possibly go wrong?🤔
3/ In October 2005, @DrTedros was appointed as the first non-MD Minister of Health in #Ethiopia. His only qualification to hold the post was him being a member of the Central Committee of the #TPLF.
