Thread on TDF’s march to the South, East & West:
TDF is a disciplined army with popular cause & doctrine. As such, it means no harm to any particular people both in Amhara & Afar. Any military advances made thus far are meant to break the siege @AbiyAhmedAli et Al put Tigray in.
The people of Amhara & Afar shouldn't succumb to the fascistic propaganda of the criminal clique in Finfine. The TDF, as it’s already been proven, don't target civilians, civilian infrastructures+properties. Thus, ppl should remain calm & cooperate with TDF wherever they advance.

Starvation was a central strategy in the Nazi genocide against the Jews. Like Hitler, genocidal @AbiyAhmedAli had long been aware of the power that lay in controlling the food.
This’s exactly why he halted safety net program in Tigray & blocked FDI opportunities prior to declaring his genocidal #WarOnTigrayㅡall aimed at impoverishing the people of Tigray & deprive them of the capacity to care for themselves should rainy days come.

In what is termed as the ‘last military & diplomatic offensive’, the genocidal regime in #Ethiopia has announced a two-pronged strategy to compound its efforts to exterminate the people of Tigray amidst the ongoing state-led #TigrayGenocide @SecBlinken@JanezLenarcic@IlhanMN 1/n
A ‘massive ground offensive’ is the first strategy #Ethiopia is set to embark on. This’s a declaration of intent to once again commit widespread war crimes+crimes against humanity under the guise of hunting insurgents. More massacres, weaponized rape & hunger.2/n @SenatorMenendez
Contrary to what is transpired by @AbiyAhmedAli & his mouthpiece media outlets, Abiy declared war on #Tigray because Tigray is the only region in #Ethiopia
1. To hold election as per the 🇪🇹n constitution exposing the unconditional extension of power by Abiy Ahmed. #SayNoToWar2. Strongly opposed Abiy’s envisioned unitary system in #Ethiopia. #IStandWithTigray #SayNoToWar

To those who want us to take @AbiyAhmedAli ‘s recent cheap political ploy seriously, we say no for so many reasons including: 1/n
Because Abiy waged war on Tigray the minute he blocked foreign investment in our land. Right when he failed to reopen the road blockade or when he aided & abetted it resulting in record level inflation in the region that made life unbearable for the already impoverished public2/n
