Eloquently put! Casting blame on the opposition for Tigray's current hardships and asserting that they haven't introduced groundbreaking political strategies is not only unfounded but also appears to be a deliberate effort to silence their ideas before they can even fully bloom.…

Regional law enforcement in Benishangul-Gumuz apprehended 24 individuals affiliated with an opposition political party during a meeting held in the region's capital. This group of detainees includes both senior party officials and ordinary members. Government representatives have…

Blaming the opposition for the challenges faced in Tigray, whether veiled in eloquent language or expressed plainly, is misguided in all levels. It serves to absolve the political class that has held power in Tigray for an extended period, primarily the TPLF. No one has played a…

Since World War I, International Relations Theory can be seen as a perpetual debate between 'Idealism' and 'Realism'.

This is well captured in the work of H.J. Mackinder. Time to #KeepRealismReal .

The evidence is out there, only one party has shown itself to be violent and adversarial: the TPLF-IRA, not the opposition, not the protestors.

Except defending the status quo or shielding the incumbent, such bothsidesism or focus on enemies will not serve the people of Tigray.

In the face of persistent human rights abuses evident in #Tigray and various other regions throughout #Ethiopia , an urgent imperative emerges – the need for a sustained and comprehensive monitoring and documentation of these grave violations.

With the 54th session of the Human…

Those who say ‘ignore the noise’ to cover up the grave violations in #TigrayProtests reminds me the supportors of the war while the grave injustices were coming into air in the outset of the war. Whether you covered it by the slogan of #RenewICHREE or another things, it stinks.

#Tigrayan authorities should halt the crackdown on people exercising their right to to free expression, urgently release those arbitrarily detained & initiate investigations into police forces that beat and abused peaceful protesters. france24.com/en/live-news/2…

In the face of endless justifications, let's dispel a common myth: the protest in #Tigray isn't a battle amongst ourselves, but a struggle between the reigning powers and the masses. Remember, the party governing Tigray has maintained its stronghold for years on end; they aren't…

Amnesty International has received alarming reports about detention, beatings & intimidation of peaceful protestors in Tigray demanding justice and accountability for conflict-related crimes, along with 38 other demands.

Promoting injustice internally while vocally condemning injustice from outside actors is a concerning pattern observed among some prominent Tigrayan activists. This apparent hypocrisy becomes evident when one examines their social media feeds, where there is a noticeable absence…

The whereabouts of leaders of #Tigray ’s four opposition parties still unknown a day after they were detained by police in Thursday’s protest after Getachew K Reda’s Interim R. Administration called it 'illegal'. Journalists & activists are among those brutally beaten by police.

Many who never took the time to read single page of the demands & aspirations of Tigray opposition parties complain in poor attempt to justify the defunct cruel actions of the regime in Tigray.
