.@LaurenBinDC's comical defence of the #IHRCEE named by @UN_HRC

1/ Mrs. Blanchard tries to defend the #IHRCEE report by saying 'it is not inconsistent' with the JIT report. This is provably false.
2/ Unlike the more comprehensive report of the JIT, the #IHRCEE depended on remote interviews, focused only on three incidents and two thematic areas and completely ignored Afar! And yet managed to arrive at more sweeping conclusions. This is as substandard as you could get!
2/ @LaurenBinDC's defense of @kaari_murungi is that she was not a member of the commission at the time she posted those clearly biased tweets calling for R2P against #Ethiopia.
3/ This is equivalent to claiming that a person with an expressed bias towards one of the parties can still be an impartial juror or even a judge on the case, as long as he made those public pronouncements ahead of the trial. Nonsensical!
4/ Her defense of Ratner, believe it or not, is that he wrote a textbook in the area! This is tantamount to saying one should never question a certain surgeon regardless of the outcome of his operation, just because he wrote a textbook about that specific procedure. Ridiculous!
5/ By the end of her thread I was hard pressed to decide which one was worse, the #IHRCEE 'report' or @LaurenBinDC's 'defense' of the said report?

A hard choice! :)

#TheMurungiFiasco

1/ The tweets of @kaari_murungi
did not want to the world to see have been recovered [courtesy of
@EthioCyberia]!

It is extremely striking how Murungi's tweets were predictive of the #IHRCEE's most recent statements
2/ Here is Mrs. Murungi calling for R2P in April 2021 long before her appointment to the Commission. Put her tweet side by side with the #IHRCEE statement from Sept 7 urging the UNSC to "take action" and how much her bias affected the Commission becomes glaringly obvious.
3/ Her tweets make it abundantly clear that Murungi has concluded that Crimes Against Humanity have been committed way before Sept 2022. No need for due diligence, no need for witnesses; apparently
@kaari_murungi can make such weighty determinations from the comfort of her couch

#TedrosTheHypocrite

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.

#Negotiations

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!

#TimnitGudit

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.

#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.
