Thread about wartime sexual violence- Comparing previous GBV data in the community or the usual increase of GBV during emergencies with wartime sexual violence is being ignorant on the subject matter at best or purposely being malicious at worst. 1/n

A short sentence sums up the article’s bias: “Pretoria Agreement’s implementation was a work in progress.” Progress toward what, exactly? A blockade of fuel, medicines, and cash? The suspension of federal funding transfers? 1/2

News: #Ethiopia intelligence chief, PM advisor accuse #TPLF of imminent offensive in ‘coming days’; claim escalates mutual war warnings
Two senior Ethiopian officials have accused the #Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) of preparing to launch an offensive against the federal government “in the coming days,” warning of a potential relapse into war in the war-torn Tigray region.
In a joint opinion article published by Al Jazeera, #Getachew_Reda, Minister Advisor for East African Affairs, and #Redwan_Hussein, Director General of the National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS), alleged that hardline factions within the TPLF are mobilizing for renewed conflict in violation of the Pretoria peace framework that ended the two-year war.
The officials said “the hardline rump of the TPLF has decided to launch an offensive against the federal government in the coming days,” further alleging continued recruitment, training, and armament of fighters with external backing.
The TPLF has not responded to the latest allegations, which come amid what many fear is an escalating tension between #Addis_Abeba and #Mekelle. On June 4, TPLF warned that Ethiopia is facing an “imminent and catastrophic war,” accusing the federal government of undermining the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (#CoHA).

An extraordinary little performance of ፅምዶ by two men who once stood on opposite ends of a genocidal war: one from the state machinery that prosecuted it, the other from the people victimised by it. Now they appear together in the language of peace, warning against war while quietly arranging Tigray again as the source of danger. The chorus says “peace,” but the subtext says casus belli. The world may also wish to remember that Getachew and his camp were, only a few weeks ago, boasting that they would take Mekelle in a month 🤔
These two political apostates think they are too smart, having been told they are the sharpest knives in PP’s drawer. But the trick here is too crude to bear the weight of their reputation. They name extremists, assign imminent intent, invoke cannon fodder, summon international pressure, and call it restraint. What they are doing is paving the road for war to later appear as a necessary evil, hoping the softness of the language will conceal the violence of the argument. This is not a peace appeal but a war dossier written monastically, thankfully with less verbosity than both authors might have tired us out with.

A woman I know who lives in the border town of Tigray was gang-raped by Eritrean soldiers for days. Her daughter was also raped. Other women and children in the community suffered the same. Some victims later died due to a lack of medical services. 1/n

Ximdo is a betrayal of the victims of the war, coined by genocidal entities to retain their power, not a genuine path to reconciliation. There is no reconciliation without accountability.

Tigray was the target; it continues to be. The rape, the burning of hospitals, and the looting were all instruments of a deliberate campaign. What Tigray deserves is accountability, not evading justice. Renaming it Ximdo, does not erase what was done.

Today marks 28 years since the deliberate twin aerial bombardment of Ayder Elementary School in Mekelle that claimed 48 lives. The attack involved cluster munitions and a second strike that hit after people had rushed to rescue the wounded. #AyderSchool

35 years ago today, the Tigrayan people defeated one of the most brutal and genocidal regime in history. The Derg had one of the largest armies in Africa, but the will of a people determined to defeat brutality prevailed. #Gunbet20

As my father talks on a video, I hear a sound of a jet. Generation after generation, we are traumatized by their sounds and the bombardments we have witnessed. Praying for peace in Tigray

Fighter jets seen in Mekelle skies today. When the war on Tigray started, that was the first thing we saw. Many of us had a trust that no government would bombard its own people and that no other people would support it; we were wrong.
May Peace Prevail in Tigray.

Hana*, 21, was abducted from home by 10 Eritrean soldiers and held for four days at a military base. “They first locked me in a room. Then, over four days, I was raped repeatedly. At the end, they poured acid on my head.”

In Tigray, where fuel is sold informally on the streets due to siege-like conditions, petrol costs $9.77 per gallon.
In Cuba, a country internationally reported to be experiencing acute fuel shortages, petrol costs $4.90 per gallon.
Tigray's price is almost double that of Cuba

Fifty-one years ago today marks the beginning of the struggle of the Tigrayan people against the genocidal Dergue regime that massacred and starved hundreds of thousands of Tigrayans. Women played a central role in fighting gender norms and genocide.
