It's been over 5 months since the Govt of AbiyAhmedAli declared a genocidal war on Tigray with the help of mercenary Eritrea|ns.He's the first leader in modern history who betrayed his own people by inviting another country to kill, rape and completely destroy a region.

zeaxumawit The world must know that there has been an active genocide imposed on Tigray/Ethiopia for the past 6 months. US and other world powers have pressed Abiy verbally to withdraw the inhumane Eritrean army. But by now he got used to ignoring them. When will the USA take ACTION?

Meanwhile CyrilRamaphosa merely negotiated for MTNza to go to Ethiopia as opposed to stopping the war. An unethical MTN is busy hyping its access to Ethiopia at a time when there is escalating human rights abuses there. This is why I consider cyril spineless.
