I lived in Ethiopia for almost five years and spent a lot of time in Tigray. It breaks my heart to think this is going to happen again. #Ethiopia #Tigray #HumanRights #ET #TG
The outbreak of this fighting comes just two days after seven Ethiopia armed groups said they were forming an alliance to topple the government, as I highlighted in my newsletter. https://t.co/36EaiaaqzV #Ethiopia #armedconflict #governmentcollapse #ET
Here's a thread I wrote last year about the most under-reported genocide in modern history. This is the scale of horror civilians in Tigray experienced. https://t.co/C16M6Wgb9g #Tigray #Genocide #HumanRights #ET
This delicate situation has been threatening to unravel for a while. The people of Tigray went through enough from 2020-2022 (and to this day). #Tigray #HumanRights #ConflictResolution #ET
"The escalating tensions in the Gulf" have been caused by the illegal U.S.-Israeli war in Iran and joining in to support the Saudis will do nothing to end it. The only man with that power is meeting Burnham in New York today. #GulfTensions #IranWar #USForeignPolicy #US #IL #IR #SA
Given this is largely symbolic, the government has obviously calculated that they need it diplomatically. But no matter the size of the gesture, it amounts to joining the war and, domestically, that is going to put them under serious pressure. #Diplomacy #WarSupport #PoliticalPressure #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.
Imagine that this guy, who has never hidden what he really is (a rabidly racist proponent of junk science), was able to start the witch hunt that killed Jason Arday, and the mainstream media fell willingly into his trap. #Racism #MediaBias #JusticeForJason #Nospecificcountrycodesarepresentinthetweet.
Sometimes I randomly remember that the U.S. kidnapped another country's head of state and the world just shrugged and moved on. #History #InternationalRelations #PoliticalScandal #US
Miliband is spot on here. There is no ceasefire in Gaza and the genocide continues. So how about you impose real sanctions, stop all arms exports and expel the ambassador? For starters. #Gaza #Ceasefire #Sanctions #IL
50 children trapped under rubble in Gaza today. More than 20,000 kids have already been killed by Israel, and more bodies are already undiscovered under rubble. Israel has also continued slaughtering them since it agreed bogus ceasefire it never intended to abide by last October. #Gaza #ChildrenInConflict #StopTheViolence #PS #IL
To add: they didn't just stand by, of course. They materially and diplomatically supported the genocide at every step. They are complicit. #Genocide #Complicity #Accountability #Nocountrycodesfoundinthetweet.

The Houthis taking the Red Sea coast is game, set and match. The U.S. has lost the war and the only way it ends imminently is if Trump quietly accepts that and stands down while spinning a narrative of victory that will allow him to save face. #Houthis #RedSea #USForeignPolicy #US
Think about this for a second: the mother of a brave and principled young person absurdly branded a terrorist for protesting a genocide is now also being punished. Do Burnham and Milliband have any thoughts on this? #Justice #FreeSpeech #Protest #Thetweetdoesnotmentionanyspecificcountries.Therefore #therearenocountrycodestoreturn.
If you only watched the absurdly hysterical British media coverage of the settlement sanctions, you'd think the UK had declared war on Israel. #BritishMedia #Israel #Sanctions #GB #IL
🚨 The world is sleeping on the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is the fastest-growing in history. The statistics are startling.
