1936: Fascist Italy drops 78 bombs on Adwa 👇and kills 1700 Tigrayans Image
2020: Fascist's ex-colony Eritrea loots and ravages Adwa again.

Thousands from Adwa and its surroundings like everywhere across Tigray were massacred.

The scars are visible from satellite images.

What's not visible is what the lives of the people whose lives depended on working in these factories, the farmers, and the city's residents have become like. But that is not difficult to guess. It can't be any different than what we see here.
Not a coincidence, the Italian regime supports the war and genocidal campaign on Tigray. Italy is one of the few member states of the EU actively financing the Ethiopian and Eritrean regimes. aa.com.tr/en/africa/ethi…
What did the Tigrayans do in 1936?
They organized and fought back until fascist Italy collapsed.

Tigray will always be Tigray. You cannot subjugate people who love their freedom to death. Image
To come back to the worshipers of Haileselassie's Ethiopia. That coward was hiding in Southern Tigray and left the country when Italy was about to overrun Tigray and move south.
What that coward and his worshipers like @danielkibret learned from that history is the cruelty and the desire to bomb cities and crowded civilian spaces to force Tigrayans into submission.
And one thing remains constant. 👇
“ኣይፈራም ጎበዝ ኣይፈራም፡ ኣይፈራም ሙሰሎኒ ኣይፈራም”. Only today, it is "ኣይፈራም ሙሰሎኒ ኣይፈራም ኢሳያስ"።

Interview with @amnesty's @AgnesCallamard on #TigrayGenocide.
"How was it that Amnesty did not reach a genocide determination in Tigray, but could make that determination in Gaza, despite Tigray having several orders of magnitude more dead?"
cbc.ca/radio/frontbur…Image
The response is very weak and @AgnesCallamard goes for the "intent" BS
"We have not made a determination that the intent to destroy in part or in whole a particular group was the intention behind the actions being taken"

The intent in the context of Tigray couldn't be clearer.
That the campaign is genocidal could never be clearer than what officials have been saying and doing.

It was a pleasure to be at The Hague Humanitarian Studies Centre @HSC_ISS earlier this month to speak about the failure (deliberate) of the UN's response to the catastrophe in Tigray.

‘Why did the UN response to the crisis in Tigray fail?’

humanitarianstudiescentre.nl/2024-conferenc…
@HSC_ISS “The UN was born out of the horrors of World War [II]. Rather than upholding its mandate and recognizing the spirit (of Never Again) under which the UN was founded[, w]e have top UN officials succumbing to the seductions of the Ethiopian government and accepting invitations....
...to lavish resorts as quid pro quo for silence.”

The video clip here👇which's released by Walta TV (one of the Ethiopian regime's prop machines) shows a compilation of combat scenes by the Ethiopian genocidal troops during the #WarOnTigray.
From phone calls with our families and friends, and countless reports, we have heard that Ethiopian and Eritrean troops shelled villages and towns indiscriminately without any clear target and without any evidence of the presence of Tigray Defence Forces in the areas they shelled
The video here confirms these reports and rumors. Throughout the video, there is not a single sight of an "enemy" weapon or a soldier. The only things visible in the areas they targeted are few farmhouses. In central Tigray, where I come from,

Nazi horror didn't start with the Holocaust. It started with the systematic dehumanization of the jews.
In Ethiopia, a regime-led dehumanization campaign consisting the production of fake documentaries, language of @AbiyAhmedAli and other public "figures",
.and a fascistic art community led to the presentation of Tigrayans as existential threat to Ethiopia who should be 'wiped out' in order to save the country from disintegration or to Make Ethiopia Great Again (ኢትዮጵያን ወደ ነበረችበት ከፍታ እንድትመለስ as they say).
This is not a hiden conspiracy or somrthing. Ethiopian regime authorities as well as ordinary supporters on social media actively argue for it. Everything that's happening in #Tigray should seen in this context. The indiscriminate killings,

What caused the #WarOnTigray, according to @AbiyAhmedAli.

"If this force [TPLF & Tigrayan political elites] had quietly joined the Prosperity Party, it could've remained in power with all the wealth that it stole and everything. The decision to not join the Prosperity Party,...
..has immensely costed it."

"Even when it went to Tigray, it could've quietly remained in power as a regional government. We wouldn't at least have fought it. [...]. What did it lose [due to the war]?. Each and every single mother of Tigray knows the cost of the war."
"They [the mothers of Tigray] know the damage."
