Dear @tomfletcherun.bsky.social, women and girls of Tigray were the primary targets of conflict-related sexual violence by Ethiopia🇪🇹 and Eritrea🇪🇷. Many women remain with no services and the UN needs to provide attention to #TigrayGenocide www.arte.tv/fr/videos/12...

“As a Tigrayan, My Heart Bleeds for Palestine.” In this reflection on the atrocities taking place in #Palestine, a Tigrayan’s perspective is explored drawing parallels between the #TigrayGenocide and #GazaGenocide. Read omnatigray.org/my-heart-ble...

As a Tigrayan, My Heart Bleeds for Palestine

The world has finally come to the dawning clarity that Israel wields its position as a superpower to continually violate the basic human rights of the Palestinian people.

This paper by Prof. Jan Abbink, noted scholar of Ethiopia and Professor at @unileiden.bsky.social has a misleading title. The paper is not about social media, it’s about denying genocide, slaughter, starvation, and systematic sexual violence committed against Tigrayan civilians.

Disinformation campaigns about the Tigray Genocide go beyond social media. A recent paper from Leiden University’s African Studies Centre uses bad research and a conspiracy theory to “debunk” genocide, mass rape, forced starvation, and massacres of Tigrayan civilians.

I think that I have finished my first thread for BlueSky. I'll know when I look at it again tomorrow. The current draft is about disinformation and the Tigray Genocide and features an appearance from the world's cringiest genocide denier.

Stay tuned.

This is a screen shot from a video produced by a disinformation website called GetFactET featuring a young white American male wearing, for whatever reason, a Malcolm X hat and a vest. He is defending the Ethiopian government from accusations of gross human rights violations against an American flag backdrop. He looks angry and the caption reads "I hope we are not taking our eye off the ball."

I swear that's what the image actually shows.

🇪🇹’s civil war in the northern #Tigray region may be over, but the region is yet to eradicate the scourge of sexual violence the women continue to endure.

Many survivors continue to face severe physical & psychological trauma, compounded by a lack of support & resources in the aftermath of the war
