It was a pleasure to be back on the @BBCWorldService this week to present TheRealStory, focussing on this scandalously under-reported story. The world's worst humanitarian crisis demands more action and attention. bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3c…

So why have you been silent when mothers are raped in front of their children in Tigray? Talk of what ought to be is cheap. Do your job.

Africa’s role in the global energy transition is undeniable as the least electrified, fastest-growing continent & needing investment in climate resilience. Join WRI's Dr. Rebekah Shirley & Haileselassie M on Dec 5 | 1pm GMT, 3pm EET, 8am EST ow.ly/iSBl50LLb7G Physics World

There is a civil war being fought in Tigray, an ancient kingdom in northern Ethiopia, on the Horn of Africa. Tigray, Eritrea and Ethiopia's 2-year-long civil war has killed more people than the war in Ukraine, yet nobody's talking about it. bit.ly/3OthBhz

The images of slaughtered civilians in Oromia are beyond sickening 💔 When will this madness end? When will the world demand a stop to impunity in Ethiopia?

Phone connections are being restored in parts of Tigray. What we knew all along is happening: people are learning the worst about their loved ones. All of us need to be ready. And we need to support each other more than ever.

#Ethiopia“[…] they raped me one after the other. I was four months pregnant; I don’t know if they realized I was pregnant. I don’t know if they realized I was a person.” Letay told us. #Amhara #FANO militias have committed patterns of sexual violence against Tigrayan women.

The head of the World Health Organization (WHO) Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Wednesday that Eritrean troops "murdered" his uncle in the #Tigray region of #Ethiopia, adding that more than 50 other people had been killed in the same incident. reuters.com/world/africa/w…

"The people of #Tigray are not just starving, they are being starved, and the international community is doing very little to address this weaponization of hunger and the structural factors that perpetuate it," argue @NatalieBurdsall and F. Kwame Yeboah in #GFFT. bit.ly/3G0Am9M

“This Christmas, families like mine don’t even know if our loved ones are alive” theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

“In Tigray, more than 2.3 million children (1.8 million girls) are out of school due to the closure of 2,270 schools across the region. Of the 2.3 million children, 60 per cent would be without education for the third year in a row this year.” reports.unocha.org/en/country/eth…

When will our children be allowed normal childhood? When will they start school? Who is able to answer this question?

30 years ago when similar numbers of civilians died in #Rwanda, the shame was so great that Bill Clinton felt compelled to travel to Kigali and apologize for Western inaction. Today, there is no apology and no expectation that we should have intervened. ft.com/content/2f385e…

Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed invited Eritrean troops to help him fight in Tigray. Now there is a peace agreement, but Eritrean troops, notorious for their atrocities, are still in Tigray. Why is Abiy not insisting that they leave? economist.com/middle-east-an…

With the Ethiopian government seemingly opposed to prosecution of war crimes -- punishing offenders “would not achieve lasting peace and reconciliation" -- a U.N. investigative team asks for unimpeded access to Tigray. What does the government fear? bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
