Many of these men fled war, including the Tigray War.
In most countries, nonviolent drug offenses are not punished with death.
Killing them for this is not justice — it is extreme, irreversible harm.

Many of these migrants:
Fled conflict, including the Tigray War
Took dangerous routes to survive
Were vulnerable to coercion and exploitation
They are victims of circumstance — not threats to society.

Funding reconstruction without addressing:
• Land restitution
• Reparations
• Accountability
risks financing injustice.

Today, that right is being denied in practice.
Return without safety is not return.
Return without restitution is not return.
Return without dignity is not return.
It is coerced abandonment.

The center of Tigray politics is #Mekele not Addis Ababa & not Asmara.
#Politicians #Elites
Focus on your people & their needs. True leadership comes from serving the people with integrity & independence, not from loyalty to distant power centers or external interests. #Tigray
Over 3 years after the Pretoria Agreement, Tigrayans face threats from every direction: a federal government preparing for war, a regional leadership not prioritizing the needs of its people, and an international community looking the other way. Read and share our first situation report of 2026:

THE BLUE REVOLUTION IS THE FUTURE.
Washington’s reported plan to lift sanctions on the totalitarian regime in Asmara is a strategic failure and a moral betrayal. Trading Red Sea access for the normalization of an "open-air prison" won't bring stability—it only finances the machinery of slavery.
The Blue Revolution stands firm:
• No Reliable Partners: A regime that thrives on regional chaos and enslaves its youth is a liability, not a strategic asset.
• No Blood Money: Lifting sanctions provides the hard currency needed to sustain indefinite national service and state-sponsored torture.
• No More Gaslighting: We are a pro-Western, pro-democracy movement. We demand a constitution, not a transactional deal with a totalitarian regime.
A Message of Gratitude
A massive thank you to @martinplaut for his relentless courage. By exposing these backroom deals and stating the hard facts, you remain the strongest ally of human rights in the Horn of Africa. Thank you for standing with the Blue Revolution and refusing to let the truth be buried.
The choice is simple: Stand with a dying totalitarian regime, or stand with a free Eritrea.
NO SANCTIONS LIFT WITHOUT JUSTICE.

#InPicture: Internally displaced people in Shire, Tigray live in harsh conditions inside torn plastic shelters battered by sun, wind and rain.
The makeshift homes offer little protection, reflecting the daily struggle and hardship faced by nearly one millions IDPs across Tigray.

Survivors of conflict-related sexual violence are among the most affected:
Displaced.
Stigmatized.
Economically abandoned.
Justice for them must include:
•Reparations
•Medical care
•Long-term support
Anything less is denial.

At least 65 Ethiopian migrants are at imminent risk of execution in Saudi Arabia for drug-related offenses.
Saudi Arabia’s extensive use of the death penalty is intertwined with fundamental and systemic rights violations.
The death sentences should be commuted and the death penalty abolished. hrw.org/news/2026/04/28/saud…

Human Rights Watch says many of those facing execution were convicted after proceedings that:
Lacked legal representation
Had no translators
Relied on coerced confessions

Day 2005 of the #TigrayGenocide:
The Pretoria agrm'nt promised the restoration services as a foundation for peace and reconstruction. Instead, peace remains distant, access to financial systems remains severely constrained, and fuel shortages paralyzed #Tigray.
#TigrayCantWait
Day 2004 of the #TigrayGenocide:
Starvation in #Tigray is a tool of genocide. The #Ethiopian gov't & its allies systematically looted and destroyed food and economic infrastructure, imposed a siege, blocked aid, froze bank accounts, and shut down markets.

Protection must go beyond shelter.
Where is the roadmap for:
• Safe return?
• Durable solutions?
• Dignified reintegration?
