Families of Tigrayans Killed, Burnt Alive Await Justice
Four years after a gruesome video surfaced on social media showing nine ethnic #Tigrayan civilians being killed and burned — one of them burned alive — in Metekel by #Ethiopian forces, there have been no arrests or charges.
The buildup adds to weeks of rising tension, fueled by lingering friction between #Ethiopia’s government and #Tigrayan forces three years after a war between the two sides ended, as well as spillover from the ongoing conflict in neighboring #Sudan. 2/
Weaponizing Tigrayan Pain for Amhara Politics
#Ethiopian politicians keep exploiting #Tigrayan suffering. Abune Matias was also targeted because of his ethnic identity. Now, the same actors who attacked him are reframing those actions as an “attack on the Church” to mobilize their genocidal base.
5-Years on, Adi Goshu Massacre Victims Await Justice
“On January 17 2021, Amhara #Fanos and local residents rounded up and detained dozens of male #Tigrayan residents of the town. Members of the #Amhara Special Forces rounded up and summarily executed about 60 Tigrayan men by the Tekeze River.”
5-Years on, Mahbere Dego Massacre Victims Await Justice
On 16 Jan 2021, #Ethiopian troops filmed themselves killing over 74 #Tigrayan civilians. Dozens of unarmed men—farmers, priests and relatives standing side by side—were forced to a cliff edge and executed by this treasonous and barbaric army.
Ethiopian Women: a New Breed of Evil
Meskerem Abera and her likes didn’t just dismiss the mass rape of #Tigrayan women, they surpassed the cruelty the perpetrators. Instead of empathy, they mocked the victims and defended the perpetrators, not out of lack of credible information, but out of hate.
To me, this paradox isn’t just a televised ‘gotcha’ moment. Getachew Reda’s contradictions cloud the justice that the #Tigrayan people deserve and undermines accountability for those responsible for the violence, increasingly recognized by most human rights defenders as amounting to genocide. 3/
Tigray’s Tsige Kahsay Takes Junior Cycling Crown
Tsige Kahsay owned the Women’s Junior Time Trial! Power, pace & precision—the #Tigrayan champion flew through the course to claim the top spot. She won in 19:59.09, ahead of #Eritrea’s Tesfu Adyam (20:09.80) and Rwanda’s Yvonne Masengesho (20:30.22).
Conversely, Ethiopian nationalists—who often recast all Abyssinian victories as Amhara achievements—disregard Dogali and other triumphs predating Menelik II, largely because the mastermind behind the victories at Kufit, Dogali, Gallabat and Adwa was the #Tigrayan general Ras Alula Engida. 2/
“Alongside atrocities committed against its own people, #Eritrea was heavily involved in the #Tigrayan genocide in #Ethiopia that left an estimated 600,000 people dead. Eritrea is not party to the 2022 peace agreement made between the Ethiopian government and the #TPLF.” 2/
The Exodus Out of Tigray
In 2024, 446,000 people left the Horn of Africa via the “Eastern route”, crossing into Yemen to reach the Gulf. 96% were Ethiopian, and a third of those were #Tigrayan — though Tigrayans make up only 6% of #Ethiopia’s population.

Tigray: The War on Women
Gang rape, forced pregnancies, deliberate transmission of disease and genital mutilation were used as weapons of war by Ethiopian and Eritrean forces, with a clear objective—to destroy the reproductive capacity of the #Tigrayan population.

If Sehin Teferra Is a Feminist, Then Hitler Is the Pope
Sehin Teferra’s denial of genocidal rape against #Tigrayan women/girls makes her feminist claim a betrayal. Her call for “profound revolution” rings hollow without accountability—starting with the perpetrators and rape apologists like her. 1/
This is a deliberate appropriation of #Tigrayan suffering to serve #Amhara politics. Having long appropriated Tigrayan identity, they now exploit its trauma for global sympathy. Their recent claim that “the Abiy regime killed over a million Tigrayans and Amharas” is a serious distortion of fact. 2/
EOTC’s Clerical Selection Tainted By Anti-Tigrayan Hate

“Sons of #Eritrea, we are brave and we will continue doing it. We will make #Tigrayan females infertile,” the note reads. The objects surgically extracted by doctors more than two years later, were forced inside her as she lay unconscious after being gang-raped by six Eritrean troops. 2/
