🛑Urgent: 🌍 should expose 🇪🇹's dirty hands in
Nazi-like concentration camps

During an armed confrontation, a combatant faces one of the following scenarios with a 25% of likelihood: killed, wounded, captured, or nothing. So there is nothing wrong ...

... with being captured. Thus, I've never felt anything special b/se 10,000s of ENDF troops got captured by the TDF. It can happen during a battle.

But, Ethiopia has been ethnically profiling 100,000s of #Tigrayan residents of different cities & towns across 🇪🇹.

Then, they get removed from their residences, business places, workplaces, etc. Many of them end up being thrown into Nazi-like concentration camps.

Life inside the concentration camps is hellish. They are deprived of medical help, proper food, & clean shelters.

Moreover, they are continuously psychologically & physically tortured. Many die during physical tortures, due to medical help, & b/se of executions.

In the concentration camps, they are subjugated to work & spend the entire day in exploitative physical work for free, ...

... with almost NO food, hygiene, or medical services provided to them. Eventually, they lose so much weight & their health conditions deteriorate shockingly.

To make its barbarous actions even worse, 🇪🇹 has been displaying the 10,000s of #Tigrayans from within the Nazi-like concentration camps on national TVs as if they were POWs. Of course, you can hear them talking about places where they were captured at. @mattckwilliams @hrw

But the bitter truth is they were subjugated to play a scripted character of a POW. Off camera, they would be told to do as ordered otherwise consequences would follow. They have no one to help them under the Sun.

So, they just play the scripted characters to avoid torture/execution.

There are dozens of credible pieces of evidence to support all of the above claims if the IC does really care about humanity & the lives of these innocent #Tigrayan civilians.

I am not saying there are no members of the TDF who got captured by the Ethiopian troops. I've stated it very clear that in an armed confrontation, any combatant has a 25% probability of being captured. But, 🇪🇹 is displaying civilians as POWs.@iascch @gad_media @gabbystern

My argument: most [98%+] of those in the hellish concentration camps are #Tigrayans who got abducted from across #WesternTigray & elsewhere in 🇪🇹.

Not only 🇪🇹 but also 🇪🇷 has been part of the abduction of #Tigrayan civilians.

I've managed to gather some insightful evidence about the abduction of #Tigrayan civilians & being transported to & thrown into Nazi-like concentration camps in the deserts of 🇪🇷.

Unlike 🇪🇹, 🇪🇷 does not display them on national TV.

If the IC does really care about rescuing human beings, I am pleading with you all to pay serious attention to the agonies of 10,000s, if not 100,000s, of #Tigrayan civilians languishing to death in the Nazi-like concentration camps of 🇪🇷 & 🇪🇹.
