#InternetShutdowns violate fundamental human rights and Ethiopian authorities must restore internet access in Tigray. We have repeatedly called for an immediate end to this shutdown, which has been ongoing for the past 2 years, throughout our participation at #IGF2022.
Tech and social media platforms must address legitimate concerns such as misinformation and hateful content, to fulfill their obligation to respect human rights, keep people safe as they come back online, and prevent authorities from attempting to justify any kind of disruptions.
Over 6 million people in Tigray have been cut off from the internet since Nov 2020, making it difficult for journalists and human rights defenders to document violations, leading to impunity with regards to the crimes committed in the region. #ReconnectTigray
How can we talk about governance & internet access where #InternetShutdowns are being used as a tool for genocide?
This year’s @intgovforum is taking place in Ethiopia, a country that continues to weaponize internet shutdowns against the people in #Tigray 🧵 #IGF2022

For years, the Ethiopian government has relied on its dominance as a telecom & internet provider to cut groups out of the web, and hide war crimes and #HumanRights violations.
Since 2020, it has engineered the longest continuous internet shutdown in the world, keeping Tigrayans isolated in the middle of a war that has cost their livelihood and lives. #KeepItOn
My friend with his arm around me has been murdered during the calculated genocide against the people of Tigray, Ethiopia happening now. I share this photo because it is important to see people (brothers, sisters, family) & not just numbers.
Please pay attention to this crisis!
Please pay attention to this crisis!
Hundreds of thousands are in danger of genocide and starvation and the news hardly talks about it. Thousands of innocent people have been murdered in the last 100+ days for no reason beyond where they’re from.

2/6 Once the guns went silent, Eritrean soldiers started scouting the villages and found 24 men in their homes. They rounded them up and took them to the fields and ordered them to bury the dead.
3/6 Once these men finished burying the dead the whole day, the Eritrean soldiers kill them all on the spot so that they don't report what they had seen.
The soldiers then went back to the villages and started a house-to-house search to look for people who may have seen
