RT @makeinjera: 📢 Twitter accounts dedicated to denying the #TigrayGenocide A THREAD 🧵

We are hearing deeply disturbing reports that approximately 65 Ethiopians, reportedly the vast majority of them Tigrayans, have been executed in Saudi Arabia. Many Tigrayans have faced immense hardship in recent years, including mass killings, war, displacement, insecurity, limited opportunities, and pressures in their own country, treating them not only as second class citizens, but enemies. These domestic scenarios have driven migration of the youth toward Yemen and Saudi Arabia in search of safety and livelihoods. Reports of persecution and abuse against vulnerable migrants in transit and destination countries have long been a source of concern. These disturbing news of executions we are receiving represent a grave violation of human dignity and fundamental human rights. I strongly condemn such actions and call for transparency, accountability, and respect for international human rights standards. Every human life deserves dignity, justice, and protection.

News: 'If they find you, they take you': Rights report details alleged forced recruitment campaign across #Tigray Young men are sleeping in fields, abandoning their homes, and moving between relatives' houses to avoid what a new rights report describes as a widening campaign of forced military recruitment across Tigray. A report released by Human Rights First Ethiopia (#HRFE) alleges that authorities and local structures have carried out coercive recruitment drives in several parts of the region, including #Axum, #Adwa, #Shire, #Adigrat, #Mekelle, #Wukro, and rural districts in the Central and North Western zones, prompting fear among families still recovering from the devastating two-year war. "They come house to house looking for young men," one resident quoted in the report said. "If they don't find the son, they question the parents.
