Italy's 1st black minister, Cécile Kyenge: "I had bananas thrown at me but I'm here to stay" theguardian.com/world/2013/sep… #BlackWomenDidThat

@minewshoa I think it’s obvious. I left the name out intentionally bc I think often times a specific ethnic group is being used to label/target/character assassinate an entire group of people, which I’d like to stay away from bc the ordinary citizen would like to live and sleep peacefully.

The extent to which some ultra nationalists go to revise history is mind boggling. It’s done on a broad daylight with no shame!🙄 On one hand, you blame present day fascism, but don’t you know ultranationalism is actually a key foundation of fascism?

Let us not return to what was normal, but reach toward what is next.

የሰሞኑ campaign ደሞ feels like ውሽት ሲደጋገም እውነት ይመስላልን ያስንቃል እኔ ምለው ግን ምንድንነው ይሄ የፉክክር አባዜ ... ምነው innovation ጠፋ🙄 እኔ ካልነገስኩ ሌላው ሰርዶ አይብቀል አይነት ጨዋታው ...ኧረ ትእቢት ቀንሱ የትም አያደርስም::

Ah love this. Thank you!

@GualJeganu @AlemayehuGK Speaking of hypocrisy tho, the better Q might be: Shouldn’t Tegarus demand the wanted few tplf leaders to give their hands to the GoE? Tigray has so much wealth and young leaders, but why should they vanish bc of few rogue leaders? How’s that serving the ordinary Tigrayan?

@AlemayehuGK Calling out hypocrisy is now bigotry? A better question might be why you want to pivot the conversation. Call your country out for bombing its own citizens. Then we'll take you seriously

Maybe you shouldn't be a bigot against a section of the Ethiopian society if you want to be taken seriously when preaching morality to them? Just a thought.

@amaadona7a So true. I think medias reflect the society it serves. On one hand, what we’re witnessing now is the result of the deterioration and the hate that was/is planted in the past/present. On the other, it’s clear that there is a fertile ground for such rhetoric from all groups.

እኔ ምለው ግን ማነው ኢቲቪን የሚያስተዳድረው? በስሚሽ low after low እንደው ጊዜው ቢረፍድም ከልብ ካለቀሱ there’s a way.

@UbuntuEthiopia Hi there. Would you be able to share the draft/pdf in amh? Thanks

My book on “The Tigray War and It’s Root Causes”…

@beti_jackson_ Any humanitarian should speak against injustices and it’s good that you’re speaking up for Tegarus. But have you raised the atrocities happening to Amharas and others in ETH that have been committed by tplf/tdf? Genuinely asking 🤔🤔

I'm not here among you to lead, I'm here because I have a beating heart. That is all. Tigrayans, YOU are the heroes, the living legends, the beacons of hope, you are going to get through this. Keep hope, hold fast, I love you. 🙌🏼💛❤️🙏🏼 #FreeTigray

There’s hope with the silent majority be it Tigrayans, Amharas, Oromos and more who has courage to speak up against their base (ethnic or political affiliation) and stand for the truth—not when it’s convenient but the truth bc it is the truth.

Part of the problem is that most groups are not seeing eye to eye with others about the pain and trauma that others are experiencing. That’s perpetuating tribalism and extremism. Without genuine dialogue and recognition of historical and current pain, how can we move forward?

.@daddyhope Admire your moderation & the space you created. This is the type of questions ppl should interrogate: 1) To what extent is the tplf/the GoE/foreign powers responsible for the current war? What is the way out? 2) Why is one group’s pain worth more than the other group?

Probably the best organized list of biases I’ve seen so far

@yonad_d Hey Yoni, I know it’s been ages. All good. Hope all is with you too.

@Bemnet1 @nytimes By no means a justification to the point you raised, but are you saying if there’s no door open for you, then you create a whole new narrative to fit your agenda (might I add without inputs from the party you’re condemning) and call it journalism? 🤔🤔

@RediTweets @nytimes How do you expect on ground reporting when the ruling party blocked any kind of media

Looks like @nytimes is recycling the same tactics. It’s 2021 & yet your correspondents are multiplying propaganda using similar stories and ‘sources’ instead of 1) conducting investigative research, 2) checking their privileges, 3) working with experts on the ground.
