The analysis holds some lessons for those quick to frame the latest defensive fighting wrongly. @USEmbassyAddis @_AfricanUnion @EUinEthiopia Tigray is defending another round of genocidal campaign.

1/2 #ICG statement is a one sided narrative that misassigns primary blame, sanitizes the federal government’s systemic multi-faceted attacks, and ignores that Pretoria Agreement not only failed to fulfill its promise, but was also weaponized by Abiy Ahmed to annihilate Tigray
NEW STATEMENT | Arresting the Dangerous Descent Back into War in Northern Ethiopia Large-scale fighting has erupted after armed opposition groups launched offensives on Ethiopian government forces. It is not too late to avert a return to bloody war. crisisgroup.org/stm/africa/e…

2/2 The current alliance, whatever sophists call it, is an existential defense movement against ethnic targeting, state violence, ongoing genocide, and national annihilation.

A @hrw investigation confirms that on August 20, 2026, an air-dropped bomb struck a teachers' residential compound in Mekelle's Daero neighborhood, injuring 13 civilians including 7 children. With no military targets in the area, @UNICEFEthiopia hrw.org/news/2026/09/25/ethi…

Today, Abiy Ahmed’s genocidal regime in Addis Ababa carried out drone strike on a humanitarian truck delivering food aid to IDPs in #NorthwesternTigray The silence of the international community is appalling. @UNEthiopia @UN @UNHumanRights @antonioguterres @USEmbassyAddis

Hitler weaponized education during the Holocaust. Abiy Ahmed is using the same tactics on steroids in his campaign of genocide against #Tigray. @UNICEFEthiopia @EUinEthiopia @UNEthiopia #TigrayGenocide

As long as Abiy remains in power, no one within Ethiopia or in the neighboring countries is safe. The same regime that committed genocide in Tigray is now exporting fighters into Sudan’s war.
News: #UN mission reports #Ethiopian nationals among RSF foreign fighters, urges Addis Abeba to engage The United Nations Independent International Fact-Finding Mission for #Sudan has identified Ethiopian nationals among foreign fighters serving with the Rapid Support Forces (#RSF), while urging the Ethiopian government to engage with its investigation into illicit activities linked to the Sudan conflict. In its report titled “Fuelling Sudan’s conflict: weapons, fighters and external support networks,” submitted to the UN Human Rights Council on 1 September 2026, the mission said witnesses reported fighters from Ethiopia, #South_Sudan and #Chad serving primarily in frontline roles with the RSF. The fighters, including women, were reportedly identified in El-Fasher and elsewhere based on language, accent and, in some cases, uniforms. addisstandard.com/?p=59210

2/2 The school, supported by the @EUinEthiopia, had recently expanded with new classrooms built by @planethiopia for #ECCDC. Its role in the community was highlighted during joint delegation visit on 5 March 2025, led by EU Ambassador Sofie From-Emmesberger.

1/2 Drone strikes by Federal Government of Ethiopia hit a secondary school in #Tigray at #Saharty Woreda, destroying ICT labs with 35 computers installed this year by the #WorldBank supported #3R program. Serving 500+ students since 1999 E.C. this vital hub now lies in ruins.

Our gratitude goes to @UNICEFEthiopia @JicaEthiopia for restoring lost hopes of Mahider and a million of other students. Considering z immense devastation by the genocidal war which deliberately targets education in Tigray, we call upon all partners to strengthen their supports
In Ethiopia, 14-year-old Mahider is back in class after conflict disrupted her education. With UNICEF’s support, damaged schools are being rebuilt so children can learn in safety and dignity. For Mahider, returning to school means returning to hope. #GirlGoals unicef.link/4uFHIW6

1/2: This US recent narration about TPLF and its visa restriction is a blatant distortion of reality, a shameful capitulation to the Ethiopian federal government’s narrative, and a betrayal of the Tigrayan people who have endured unimaginable suffering.

2/2: This biased narrative emboldens the perpetrators of genocide, and risks a renewed war. Tigray will not be silenced. Tigray is demanding so little—and that actually doesn't require a visa.

Almost 4Yrs after Pretoria ( CoHA) #Tigraygenocide continues in occupied #WesternTigray. HRW report exposes ongoing persecution: detentions, beatings, movement bans & land seizures. Safe return under Tigray administration now! The world must act. #StopTigrayGenocide
Authorities and security forces in Ethiopia’s contested Western Tigray Zone are arbitrarily detaining ethnic Tigrayans and imposing a discriminatory system that severely restricts their movements, employment, and access to services.

Ethiopian Army Left #Tigray Schools Looted, Ruined In Raya, the genocidal ENDF army turned schools into military camps—looting materials, destroying property and leaving classrooms in ruins. Even after their withdrawal on 29 Jan 2026, the damage rendered the facilities unusable.
