Protests are continuing across Tigray as IDPs - ethnically cleansed from their land - rise up to demand their right to return home.

From every corner of #Tigray, people are joining them in this fight.

They deserve to go home. They deserve justice. #TigrayGenocide

The civil war in Ethiopia’s Tigray region was one of the deadliest of this century. The conflict ended with a ceasefire in November 2022. In Mekelle, Zeywegih Leyti describes the anxiety of waiting for another war.

One day in Mekelle

Just two years after the peace deal that ended the civil war, tensions in Ethiopia’s Tigray region are simmering.

As we celebrate #InternationalWomensDay, we honor the strength of Tigrayan women—leaders, fighters, and survivors. Their resilience is unmatched, yet their struggle for survival and justice continues. The world must listen. #IWD2025 #Tigray #Ethiopia

Even when students protest, violence against them is unjustifiable. Protests for better conditions should lead to dialogue, not brutality—a clear failure of leadership.

So that’s what this account is going to kinda be about for awhile.

Education is a lifeline, yet Tigray remains largely excluded from both traditional & skill-based systems. The political dilemmas continue to sideline vulnerable communities, neglecting basic needs & HR. The future feels overshadowed by wasted potential—what path are we really heading toward now?

Current situation in #Tigray is even more complex & grave.
After surviving state-sponsored genocide & enduring relentless struggles, children are left with shattered opportunities & If education remains out of reach, how can they rebuild their lives or even hope for a brighter future? #FreeIrob

Reading this article is very alarming‼️
If school-aged children aren’t able to attend school, burdened with challenges they didn’t cause, what’ll life look like for them at age 17/18? When they’ve dream of Univ.,will they instead face barriers they can’t overcome?

IDP. A horrible acronym for persons who were forced out of their homes - through genocidal actions in the case of those seeking shelter in Axum. A statistic in the eyes of Europe, and one that remains neglectable as long as they don't try to reach Europe.
