Despite these statements, the West has insisted on believing that the Possible Military Dimensions (PMD) of #Tehran's #nuclear program have ceased to exist since 2003. 1/8

Yohannes is absolutely right. #UNSC Res. 2417 (2018) very clearly applies to the current #TigrayFamine.

If all of the meetings and statements are necessary, we cannot let Tigrayans starve to death while elites get their act together.

2/It is understandable that the UN needs time to build consensus, debate, or investigate. But they waited too long to start.

Now #TigrayCantWait, unless a humanitarian pipeline is secured. Drastic, temporary measures must be taken if diplomacy needs time to work.
3/The 5.2M+ who are impacted by the #TigrayFamine and need aid have hard deadlines for:
🗓️When they starve to death
🗓️When their children develop lifelong health issues
🗓️When they lose the milk to nurse their babies

Sustained access to food is the only way to buy time.

Collective trauma of the #WarOnTigray on Tigrayan children:
The #WarOnTigray is perhaps one of the most under-reported and the bloodiest events in Africa in recent decades. Over 52,000 civilians have reportedly been killed as of last week,

more than 60k crossed the border to Sudan for safety, over 4.5 million face starvation as their harvests are looted & destroyed by Ethiopian & Eritrean armies.
But, what is most distressing is the trauma that the war is leaving Tigrayan children with. As towns and villages across Tigray have constantly been bombed for the last 3 months, children have seen so much that will remain with them forever.
