Every broken house in Rama is a family's loss. Tigray's civilians have suffered enough since 2020. Keep the fighting away from towns, and let aid in now. #Peace in Tigray is peace for all #Ethiopia

Al Jazeera says it in two lines: "Asmara has denied the allegations. However, witnesses and monitoring groups report seeing Eritrean soldiers on the ground in the Tigray region." A denial is not evidence. Witnesses, monitors and now Al Jazeera's own report all point the same way. What the report shows: 1. ACLED, an independent conflict monitor, says Eritrean soldiers crossed back over the border through Zalambessa as Ethiopian troops advanced. You cannot withdraw from a place you never entered. 2. A Tigray Peace Force spokesperson says Eritrean troops told TPLF fighters: "Take courage, we are behind you." That is his claim, and independent investigators should test it. 3. The US Secretary of State called on all sides to return to the 2018 Ethiopia–Eritrea peace framework. Ethiopia signed that peace in Jeddah, and it ended a 20-year state of war. Ethiopia's prime minister won the Nobel Peace Prize for it. Ethiopia has not walked away from it. Peace between neighbours has one basic rule: you don't arm or encourage rebels inside the other's land. Break that rule, and no framework can survive. The real price is paid by ordinary people. In the same report, a father sits in a hospital and says: "I've already buried two of my children and brought my third child here for medical treatment." No political goal is worth that. Al Jazeera warns the region is "at a tipping point." Then the way forward is clear: • No foreign hands in Ethiopia's internal conflict. • Independent monitors on both sides of the border. • Back to the 2018 framework, with the AU at the table. Ethiopia chose peace in 2018, and it is still ready for peace. But peace needs two partners and the truth. #Ethiopia #Eritrea #Tigray

After three weeks of rumours, fake clips and "Ethiopia will fall" predictions, foreign military officers finally saw the evidence with their own eyes. And what they said after Bishoftu should silence a lot of people. 🧵👇 Military attachés from the UK, Australia, Kenya, Tanzania, Bangladesh, Gabon and South Sudan were briefed by ENDF leadership at Bishoftu Air Force Base and shown weapons seized in the operations. Officers from the US, Russia, Italy, Germany and China were there too. Here is what they said on camera: 🇬🇧 UK: "There's been a lot of speculation over the last three weeks… the briefing clarified the lead-up to the conflict and the conduct of the conflict." He said they respect the ENDF's right to protect its country from any threat, and urged all sides to respect the sovereign territory of their neighbours. 🇦🇺 Australia: she said she respects the ENDF's efforts to protect Ethiopia's sovereignty, and that all countries in the region must respect each other's borders. 🇧🇩 Bangladesh: "Ethiopia has the legitimate right to protect their sovereignty from any kind of foreign aggression." He said the ENDF is targeting legitimate military targets and trying to protect civilian lives. 🇰🇪 Kenya: "From the briefing it is very clear that ENDF undertook its mandate within applicable laws." 🇹🇿 Tanzania: after the briefing, he said, "I'm 100% sure that we are safe here in Addis Ababa and in Ethiopia as a whole." 🇬🇦 Gabon: most information comes from social media, "which can be fake." Official briefings are the right way. 🇸🇸 South Sudan: "If there is peace in Ethiopia, peace will come in South Sudan also." He asked the international community to stand behind Ethiopia for peace. Two messages came through again and again: 1. Ethiopia has the right to defend its sovereignty. 2. Every neighbour must respect Ethiopia's borders, and every side must de-escalate. That's exactly Ethiopia's position. Defend the country, protect civilians, and seek peace. To everyone who spent three weeks spreading fake news: the people whose job is to know the facts have now seen them. #Ethiopia #ENDF #EthiopiaPrevails

The US Secretary of State just said something Asmara won't like. Last night Marco Rubio was asked about Ethiopia and Eritrea. Read his words slowly: 1. Ethiopia was attacked from inside, including drone attacks on its own capital. "No one is supportive of terrorism." 2. Troops are now on both sides of the border. That is dangerous. 3. Washington has been talking to Asmara "more than usual," because you can't make peace unless you talk to both sides. So here is the only question that matters now who is ready to sit down? Ethiopia's stated position is clear. Sea access through talks, not through force. A country of more than 120 million people asking for a fair deal on the Red Sea is not a crime. It is a conversation this region must have one day. This week Eritrea's Foreign Minister told diplomats that Ethiopia wants Assab "by force." If that fear is real, the answer is easy. Accept mediation. Put it on paper. Let the US, the AU, anyone hold the pen. Rubio is right. The last thing the world needs is another war. Ethiopians don't want one either. We have buried too many young people already. The door to talks is open. Walk through it. #Ethiopia #Eritrea #HornOfAfrica

Key line from Rubio: the US is talking to Asmara "more than usual" so it can mediate. Good. Ethiopia has asked for talks on sea access for years. So the question is simple now. Will Asmara accept a mediator, or keep calling every talk a threat? #Ethiopia
