An explanation of these tweets from #KaariMurungi is now required. This is a small group of experts and if the Chair of this panel had strong partial views & went to the effort to hide those views, it further undermines the credibility of the #ICHREE. 
The origins of the ICHREE are already extremely controversial. Specifically the role of TPLF lobbying inside the EU to set it up.
And the initial report which ignores the issue of child soldiers (among other flaws) is also controversial.

The latest meeting on the report suggests that the @un_hrc itself is deeply split over the ICHREE, primarily on a Western Powers/Global South axis. Which is unfortunate - and risks further undermining the effectiveness of Future @UN_HRC inquiries.
The amount of reputational damage in Africa alone that has been incurred to the UN through the manner of its engagement in this war of choice by TPLF rebels is enormous.
And the facts here wrt to human rights abuses are not ambiguous either. TPLF’s July-Dec invasion of Amhara is particularly well documented in several official and unofficial inquiries.
A new report has just identified 3598 killings by TPLF and its OLA allies.

In relation to Tigray, on which the EU and ICHREE has it appears a near mono focus in this initial report, it’s important to understand that there were no ENDF EDF or militia forces in Tigray from June 28 2021. To August 24 2022, for 14 months.
Whereas TPLF invasions and occupations of Afar and Amhara - with well documented continuous destruction and HR abuses - ran continuously from July 15 2021 to April 20th 2022 - a period of nine months.
For the #ICHREE chair to have tweeted about R2P is particularly concerning. And points not only towards partiality, but also towards an Agenda in terms of where she wants this to go.
It is in everyone’s interests, including the @UN_HRC for the mandate of this commission to lapse as soon as possible, and for the investigations into HR to return to regular order, I.E. via the joint investigation team from the OHCHR and the @EthioHRC.
