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

🎥 Listen to their voices - mothers who lost harvests, children who’ve never known a real home. This isn’t just displacement; it’s erasure. They deserve to live where they were born. Share their testimony. The world must hear. Return them home! #TigrayGenocide #Tigray

These IDPs are survivors of ethnic cleansing. Five years on, children are growing up in plastic tents - robbed of education, safety, and a normal childhood. They’re not asking for charity. They’re demanding: • A safe return home to Western Tigray • Accountability for the violence that uprooted them

Tens of thousands - farmers, parents, students - who were forcibly expelled and ethnically cleansed from their land in Western Tigray are marching. 📢 “No fifth rainy season in tents!” 📢 “Restore our homes and farms!” They call on the Ethiopian government, TPLF leadership, and the world to act.

Massive protests are erupting across #Tigray. Displaced families - living in makeshift camps for nearly 5 years - are demanding one thing: “Let us return home with dignity.” Their call is urgent. Their message is simple. It’s time to go home. #TigrayGenocide

The people of Tigray deserve peace and dignity - not broken promises, not silence. A full, just implementation of the Pretoria Agreement is the only way forward.

To make matters worse, Eritrea - responsible for genocidal crimes - is still involved in Tigray. Its presence is illegal, destabilizing, and obstructs the region’s path to peace. #EritreaOutOfTigray

The Pretoria Agreement promised peace, but the Ethiopian government has selectively implemented it. Occupation, forced displacement, and impunity persist - undermining both justice and stability. #JusticeForTigray

Two years after the ceasefire deal was signed, Tigray remains occupied - especially Western, Southern, and Northern Tigray - by Amhara forces and Eritrean troops. Displaced Tigrayans cannot return home. This is a clear violation of the agreement.

Ethiopia risks sliding back into war, with Tigray once again at the center. As the Pretoria Agreement falters and tensions rise, urgent int’l action is needed. Australia 🇦🇺 can play a key role—through diplomacy, aid, and support for accountability. www.internationalaffairs.org.au/australianou...

Governments have a duty to ensure their people's human rights. Since Nov. 2020, the Ethiopian govt has not only failed to protect Tigrayans' rights but has grossly violated them in the #TigrayGenocide. Tigrayans' right to life continues to be infringed. #HumanRightsDay.

Conditions in Tigray are worsened by power struggles within Tigray’s leading party, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). This must end to focus on implementing the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement and secure peace for the people of Tigray. #4YearsOfTigrayGenocide

There has been limited progress on achieving justice & accountability for the survivors of the #TigrayGenocide. A flawed domestic transitional justice framework & a lack of an independent & international investigatory system have made true justice unlikely. #Justice4Tigray
