The Axum Massacre- Nov 29, 2021
Hundreds of innocent civilians were massacred in #Axum by #EritreanForces while Ethiopian forces watching. These inhumane & barbaric acts were followed by denial from Abiy Ahmed & genocidal voices.
Justice must prevail for the victims.
#AxumMassacre
#NeverForget
The #AxumMassacre began on #ThisDayInHistory in 2020. #Eritrea's armed forces took advantage of the #TigrayWar to enter #Ethiopia and kill civilians indiscriminately, with around 800 dead according to AP reports. Widespread looting also occurred, with some victims forced to help.
“The religious festival of Saint Mary—held annually on November 30–typically draws thousands of pilgrims and tourists to the Holy City of #Axum. But the 2020 festival became a funeral.“-@hrw

#Tigrayer wurden gezielt auf den Straßen Aksums getötet. Ihre Leichen durften nicht begraben werden. Dieser barbarische Akt zeigt die Grausamkeit der Täter. #AxumMassacre @nytimes.com @ec.europa.eu @tagesspiegel.de

4 years, no justice. The #AxumMassacre stole the lives of innocent men and boys while the world🌏 watched. Demand an independent investigation and accountability!

The Axum Massacre (Nov 2020) saw Eritrean troops kill hundreds of civilians in Tigray. This horrific act of violence demands justice and accountability. Yet, 4 years later, there's no progress.

The ongoing genocide in #Tigray, including the #Axummassacre, reveals a systematic assault on an entire people. We urge 🌍leaders to act decisively for justice. Humanity cannot look away. #UpholdPretoriaAgreement #Justice4TigrayGenocide @cnn.com
It's been #4Years since the #AxumMassacre was committed. On November 28-29, 2020, the Eritrean troops supported by the Ethiopian Federal Army massacred more than 1000 civilians in Axum, Tigray.

Axum massacre
#AxumMassacre isn’t just a historical tragedy; it’s a constant reminder of justice denied. To #UpholdPretoriaAgreement without holding war criminals accountable is like trying to build peace on a foundation of injustice #Tigray
