[💬 THREAD]

🇪🇹 Ethiopian Air Force waited for rainy season (cloudy) to come to an end before conducting targeted air strikes.

Targets are military installations & weapon depots used to command the #TigrayRebels from #Mekele. Tank repair units, weapon depots & military comms units destroyed in past week.

Civilian casualties avoided at all costs.

This is Mesfin Industrial Engineering, an industrial area NOT residential ❌ on easternmost outskirts of #Mekelle.

The thick smoke indicates that fuel or weaponry was successfully destroyed.

Recall last month: #TPLF forces looted ~200ton explosives from Weldiya rail project 🤔

📍 More geolocated pics showing location of strike within Mesfin Industrial Engineering south compound.

Smoke originating from parking area. Other pics show some of the smaller warehouses were destroyed.

🇺🇳 THREAD: Bias at the highest level of @UN with staff taking rebels’ side in #Ethiopia.

A summary of the bias going straight to the top, inc. @DrTedros of @WHO.
No blanket accusations. The UN is not homogeneous.

🚨 Biased officials named. Read on.

⬇️ 🇺🇳 SIDE NOTE: @UN is organisation with staff from all over world.

Structure (for purpose of thread) is 2-pronged:
➡️ local/in-country staff (on the ground)
➡️ int’l staff (abroad).

e.g. You may see @UNOCHA (referring to int’l staff) & @OCHA_Ethiopia (for in-country staff).

Have a look at Kwesi Sansculotte (@KSansculotteG) (one of the @UN staff expelled) Twitter feed.

🤔 See him buddying up with Rashad Abdi & Kjetil Tronvoll. Even Alex de Waal’s ‘World Peace Fdn’ in there.

Not a single mention of suffering in Amhara & Afar - his bias is clear.

Here’s Kwesi, the @UNOCHA ‘Peace & Development Advisor’, tweeting an article which opens by glorifying the TPLF.

💬 “Thirty years ago, I saw the rebels take Addis Ababa… it was the best day of my life”

A group responsible for the death, torture & imprisonment of thousands.
