Defunding World Health Organization (WHO) in the middle of a pandemic is like pulling the plug on firefighters in the aftermath of 9/11.

Worst case scenario if you keep cash money at their sight!!

I will tweet for peace. For dialogue. For common sense. For mothers who raised their children. For young people who have dreams. For elderly who don’t deserve refugee camps. For children who deserve better role models. For my faith that obliges me to choose peace. For my sanity.

#Ethiopia: War is NEVER the answer. I believe in dialogues and peaceful negotiations. For all spewing hate and encouraging the pro-war agenda, just STOP. As a human, as a woman, as a doctor that worked in active war zones, it’s just not worth it! #HumanityFirst እባካችሁ

I am following with concern the news arriving from Ethiopia. While I urge that the temptation of an armed conflict be rejected, I invite everyone to prayer and to fraternal respect, to dialogue and to a peaceful end to the disagreements.

Wars start with words of hate, they end with words of sorrow. We said never again in 1918. We said never again in 1945. We said never again in 1994. We said never again in 1995. We will say never again in 2020. ... But will we remember? #Ethiopia #SayNoToWar

ያለእውነት ነፀነት የለም! በአንካሳ ሚዛን፣ ጥላቻ ባወረው እይታ፤ በትዕቢት ተነድቶ፣ ውሸትን ታጥቆ ድል? የለም! ቢመስል እንኳ? አይደለም። ትርፉ ኪሣራ ... እንደገና ትውልድ የሚከፍለው የደም ዕዳ ... የታሪክ ቁስል ... የግፍ ውርስ! 💔

Heartbreaking picture of Ethiopian refugees who arrived in #Sudan fleeing the fighting between the #Ethiopia/n Army & #TPLF The picture shows the crying of women who left everything behind to save their lives and children. It is sad & real tragedy. Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency #Tigray

When people fight each other in the middle of a pandemic, the only winner is the virus. We need a renewed push for peace to achieve a global ceasefire. Only if we work together can we defeat #COVID19, prevent climate catastrophe, and pave the way for a better world.

Eritreans also don’t deserve a new chapter of war and trauma. Stop the war before it becomes much much worse. It is a zero sum game if the tit for tat continues. #SayNoToWarEthiopia
