1/: The world´s biggest ongoing armed conflict is not #Russia ´s attack on #Ukraine, but #Ethiopia and #Eritrea´s massive offensives on #Tigray. Reliable estimate is that up to 1 mil. troops are engaged in the war theater.
2/: The ongoing combined #Eritrea / #Ethiopia offensives on #Tigray use WW1 tactics of ordering massive human wave attacks on Tigray defense lines. The carnage is horrendous. Likely as many as 100.000 have been slaughtered over the last weeks.
3/: #Ethiopia & #Eritrea are continuously shelling & bombing #Tigray towns, indiscriminately killing droves of civilians. The perpetuation of #Warcrimes is standard operating procedure.
4/: #Ethiopia is simultaneously using starvation as war strategy, by blocking humanitarian aid to #Tigray. Millions of Tigrayans are on verge of famine. Thousands are dying for lack of medical supplies. Children are suffering tremendously.
5/: #Ethiopia & #Eritrea is colluding with #AU in red-taping Cessation of Hostilities talk, in the belief that they might manage to crush #Tigray by arms. Concomitantly, #US, #EU and bilaterals are hesitating to engage in full, and are repeatedly "taken for a ride" by #AbiyAhmed.
6/: #Tigray is fighting for survival, as they have experienced what happened in 2021 when #Eritrea and #Ethiopia troops went on rampage, killing and raping civilians, looting and pillaging. #TDF is also experiencing massive losses, but know the alternative may be worse.
7/: #Ethiopia & #AU are using the debauched slogan “African solutions to Africa problems” to prevent an active int. engagement to facilitate negotiations. Concomitantly, African brotherhood & solidarity with an African nation & people exposed to a genocidal warfare is lacking.
8/: When the history of #Ethiopia / #Eritrea ´s atrocious war on #Tigray will be written, the lackluster role of #AU, #US, #EU & others in engaging to prevent the ongoing humanitarian disaster and crimes against humanity unfolding, will be protuberant.
