"Ethiopian PM accuses Eritrea of mass killings in Tigray conflict (2022). Seeking justice and accountability. " #TigrayWar https://fefd.link/FRJmP

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.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 2020, the #TigrayWar began in northern #Ethiopia. A civil war with distinct #genocidal elements, exact casualty figures are disputed but likely around 600,000 dead. That it was fully ignored in US media was deeply offensive. Many deaths were of starvation.

#ENDF watches #SAF #Akinci drones getting hit in #Darfur. During #Tigraywar the #Ethiopian military morale collapsed & was only saved due to #Eritrean intervention & drones. While #drones compensate ENDF’s weakness, they cant substitute for reliable infantry & territorial control

#Abiy at risk as only #Eritrea came out of #Tigraywar stronger. #EDF held ground & advanced deep into enemy lands, showed tight command & control, discipline & the ability to sustain long missions. Compared to the chaotic disintegration of #ENDF, #EDF was more cohesive & prepared. #Houthi #Sudan #AU

#US dumped #Ethiopia’s #Abiy as a anchor for #Kenya after #Tigraywar which pushed #Addis towards #Russia. While he toured Europe, his general was in #Moscow upgrading strategic & military ties w #Putin. Abiy delicately balancing ties as he is dependent on western fin aid. #Asmara #Houthi #Gaza

Mass arrests and beatings: how Ethiopia went from celebrating journalists to jailing them Hundreds of media workers have been detained, often on terror charges, or forced into exile by Abiy Ahmed’s regime

#Eritrea has security ties w #Egypt. 🇪🇬 has a strong incentive to back #Asmara. #Eritrean mountainous rugged terrain naturally favors defense. While #Ethiopia modernized parts of its army its still recovering from #Tigraywar. Nonetheless #ENDF is much larger w larger reserves 2/3. #Israel #Sudan

#US🇺🇸 backed #TPLF during #Tigraywar but now considers sanctioning the #TPLF (#Economist), thereby helping the fed gov of #Ethiopia🇪🇹. US helped broker #Pretoria & sees #Kenya🇰🇪 as it anchor state but just want to keep 🇪🇹 from imploding. It uses #Abiy🇪🇹 when suiting US interests. #Eritrea #Somalia

#ENDF’s inability to crush #Fano, despite deploying drones & heavy forces, points to logistical strain, troop morale issues & possible overextension. Casualties from #Tigraywar & #Amharawar have weakened #Ethiopia’s combat readiness. Redirecting forces to #Eritrea risks collapse

While #Abiy tries to control the #Amhara uprising against him, in #Tigray the #IRA led by his ally #Getachew faces the #TPLF & the #Tigrayan security forces. TPLF’s inability to achieve victory against #ENDF & #Eritrea during #Tigraywar damaged its image & created internal rifts.

The Many Faces of Abiy Ahmed Ethiopia’s leader is both messianic and Machiavellian—and his reputation as a Nobel-winning peacemaker has been tainted by the brutal Tigray war.
