@azgcapital Is it consistent with the principles of democracy to allow one of the world's most brutal dictators to organize propaganda events that serve as tools of intimidation, harassment, and threats towards refugees by their agents?

@ERN_Canada That is called democracy...Freedom of peaceful assembly. Democracy is not easy, it means to swallow what you don't like when the other party exercise their legally permitted right and Vice versa.

One should wonder why the Eritrean gov't feel the need to organize a "festival" accompanied by helicopters, armored vehicles, & numerous security forces in Germany and why did the Germany authorities allowed it despite objections from the #Giessen city admin? #Eritrea #Germany

We have put together a situation report of the key issues affecting Eritrean refugees in #Sudan right now. It doesn't do justice to the magnitude of the crisis, but could be useful as a starting point for individuals and institutions who want to help. onedayseyoum.org/blog/situation…

Ethiopia is Breaking International Law by Forcibly Returning Eritrean Asylum-Seekers to Eritrea hrc-eritrea.org/ethiopia-is-br…

It's outrageous that the @RRSEthiopia is claiming "none of the individuals who have been returned [to Eritrea] are refugees or asylum seekers." Did you conduct RSD for each individual and determined they were not refugees? Why is @UNHCREthiopia so quiet about all this?

Shocking incidents of sexual violence, including rape, sexual assault, sexual exploitation and physical violence, have been reported by women and girls who have fled the conflict in Sudan. unhcr.org/news/press-rel…

Will the report acknowledge the failure of the Asylum System & Protection, including the distressing incidents of refugee camps in Tigray being razed, refugees being abducted, & those who managed to escape Tigray living in precarious and unsafe conditions in the Amhara region? 4

The only place mentioned is this: "Pledge implementation in the Tigray Region has been suspended since November 2020, due to the ongoing armed conflict in the region" as footnote on page 7. Now the @RRSEthiopia is preparing for another progress report for the upcoming GRF. 3

At the Global Refugee Form in 2019. Ethiopia made the following pledges: 1) Create up to 90,000 equitable economic opportunities 2) Expand access to quality education &skills training , 3) Strengthening Asylum System &Social Protection 4) Create clean/renewable energy solutions 1

750 people were on this boat. 108 are alive. 83 are certainly dead. The remaining 550+, including up to 100 children who were below decks to protect them against the waves & weather, are almost certainly dead. The sea is 4,500m deep at the point of the sinking >> cont.

Together, we can make a strong case for their immediate support. Let's join hands and take action to bring relief to those in need. #StandWithEritreanRefugees #TakeAction

Tens of thousands of Eritrean refugees caught in crossfire of the #Tigray war for the third time now while being in siege with the Tigray population for the past two years. Does any one care? @UNHCREthiopia @USAIDEthiopia @IOMEthiopia

#URGENT 145 #Eritrea/n refugees rounded up near #Addis are being transported to Amhara region against their will. Coming after daily kidnap of #refugees from camps in the region, this is a worrisome dev't, demanding your urgent attention. @Refugees @UNHCREthiopia @IOMEthiopia

We have also heard from the ground that there is some progress in issuing exit permits in Ethiopia and we hope, at least those who have been granted visas and stuck in Ethiopia, can be resettled to safety and reunite with their families abroad. #Hope!

Thank you everyone who participated in the letter writing campaign yesterday. We can confirm that over 130 letters were sent to @SeanFraserMP & others. With your help we have voiced our concerns & we will continue to do so until we see concrete results; equity in resettlement. ✊🏾
