We have a dream: a free and peaceful #Tigray , with operational services (hospitals, food, fuel, banks, electricity, internet, schools, commerce, ...). Now this dream must become a reality because it is normal life. #StopWarOnTigray #EndTigraySiege #EritreanTroopsOutOfTigray @UN

Tout ce faste, ce luxe écœurant alors que des centaines de milliers de réfugiés internes croupissent dans des camps sans savoir quand ils pourront enfin rentrer chez en sécurité. Aucun tapis n'est déroulé pour eux, rien n'est fait pour qu'ils puissent reprendre espoir. @hrw_fr

❌Meurtres de civils en fuite ❌Exécutions sommaires ❌ Viols ❌ Disparitions forcées Le M23 et les forces militaires rwandaises ont mené une occupation violente d'Uvira dans l'est de la #RDCongo en décembre 2025 & janvier 2026. Enquête sur place : hrw.org/fr/news/2026/0…

In a new podcast episode with the @NIODamsterdam, my friend Anne van Mourik and I discuss the #TigrayGenocide and the systematic assault on the Tigrayan womb — both metaphorically and literally —through rape and , soundcloud.com/niod_rewind_po…

Je traduis mes analyses en français pour aider le monde francophone à décrypter la géopolitique de la Corne de l'Afrique. 🌍 Voici le 1er épisode du Couloir de la mer Rouge (Éthiopie, Égypte, Soudan) 👇

"peace and security collaboration built over the past eight years" Peace ? Seriously ?🤓🤡

On this day devoted to celebrating mothers, I can’t help but think of the women now daring to speak against a system consuming society while so many of us remain stunned into silence. As Jennifer Welch recently remarked, women often carry the waters of patriarchy, yet when it floods, they are the ones left to drown. That’s why their voices matter, not because they are untouched by fear, but because they choose to speak despite it. I dedicate this Mother’s Day to them and thousands more we refuse to listen.

As my father talks on a video, I hear a sound of a jet. Generation after generation, we are traumatized by their sounds and the bombardments we have witnessed. Praying for peace in Tigray

Thank you so so much @AmnestyUK for this 2 awards. It is a tribute to the survivors of sexual violence in #Tigray and also a way of honouring those who were brutally murdered.

#SayNoWar in Tigray. No war! We've had enough.

Des migrants éthiopiens tentent la "route de l'Est" depuis Djibouti. De jeunes hommes qui fuient la guerre et projettent de rejoindre la mer, direction les pays du Golfe. Le périple, via le désert, est dangereux, parfois meurtrier, toujours incertain.

The European Union should adopt clear enforceable human rights benchmarks in its engagement with Ethiopia, so recent diplomatic and financial normalization doesn't undermine accountability efforts regarding abuses in the Tigray, Oromia, and Amhara regions. trib.al/eCnvWTp

Diplomatic “Concern”: Softer Way of Blaming Tigray The UK called for de‑escalation just as the TPLF moved to reinstate its pre‑war Regional Council. Its timing appears to be redirecting blame toward #Tigray, esp given UK’s years of silence while #Ethiopia continued its genocide.

#Yacob_Yatane: Heartbreak as Exiled #Ethiopian Journalist Dies in #Kenya, Proof of Poisoning Emerges Prior to his death, the journalist had allegedly complained of persistent threats and being consistently trailed by unidentified Amharic-speaking individuals in Nairobi. In November 2025 (late 2017 EC), Yacob shared that things became harder for him when two men and a woman allegedly tracked him to his residence and physically confronted and threatened him. Fearing for his life, Yacob turned to the Kenyan National Police Service as well as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (#UNHCR), and despite having to change his residence for security reasons, he remained vulnerable until his death. tuko.co.ke/people/family/…

#InPicture: Internally displaced people in Shire, Tigray live in harsh conditions inside torn plastic shelters battered by sun, wind and rain. The makeshift homes offer little protection, reflecting the daily struggle and hardship faced by nearly one millions IDPs across Tigray.

#Ethiopia: Fuel shortage grounds ambulances in #Tigray, raises fears over collapsing referral system A worsening fuel shortage in Tigray has grounded ambulances across the region, crippled emergency referrals, and forced patients to rely on costly private transport or go without life-saving care, health officials have warned, as regional authorities renewed calls for urgent federal intervention. Kidu Teklu, Emergency and Ambulance Service Coordinator at the Tigray Health Bureau, told Addis Standard the region’s referral system has “completely collapsed” following months of deteriorating fuel availability, with the situation worsening sharply since mid-January. “Currently, there is no ambulance service in our region,” Kidu said, adding that ambulances distributed across districts after the Pretoria Agreement are now grounded due to severe fuel shortages. addisstandard.com/?p=56667
