#tigraygenocide — Public Fediverse posts

Any solid sources for #TigrayGenocide planning during the year between [1] the October 2019 announcement of Abiy's prize [2] and the 3–4 November 2020 attacks [3] would be useful for Wikipedia.

Any better sources than the #EmnetNegash May 2023 estimate of 162,000 to 378,000 civilian deaths [4] in the #TigrayGenocide would be useful too.

🔴After 915 days since the signing of the "Cessation of Hostilities Agreement" for Tigray, how are +1MLN IDPs doing today? They are still waiting to return to their homes and above all to have justice for them and the +800,000 victims of the #TigrayGenocide #Justice4Tigray #CoHA

This is why it's so hard to find independent stories of the cruelties behind the #TigrayGenocide. The Ethiopian and Eritrean regimes are threatening, even killing, journalists who dare to write about it.

Here's the summary from DAIR's page at www.dair-institute.org/tigray-genoc... #tigraygenocide #contentmoderation

Effective moderation of social media to curb genocidal content

"The 2020-2022 Tigray war is reported to be the deadliest armed conflict of the 21𝑠𝑡 century, with an estimated 600 to 800,000 documented deaths and more than 100 thousand victims of rape as a weapon of war. Social media platforms were instrumental in spreading genocidal content during the conflict, and failure to effectively moderate hateful content resulted in the murder of civilians. This work investigates the expertise and processes required to effectively moderate such genocidal content, and compares these findings to the expertise and processes prioritized by social media platforms."

@DAIR's page has a 10-minute video and a link to the CHI paper, and a statement - which I'll include excerpts from in a reply.

Slow news: it took over a month for the first hints of the 28/29 November 2020 #AxumMassacre of 400 to 800 civilians by Eritrean security forces to reach the outside world [1], nearly another month for the Kroc Institute to comment, and a third month for Amnesty Int and HRW to provide their first reports. Witness testimonies [2][3].

Some massacres are more equal than others.

Ci si scandalizza di #Israele 🇮🇱 che ha bloccato #Aljazeera nel mondo "democratico occidentale".
I bianchi democratici europei però non si sono minimamente scandalizzati quando il gov. dell' #Etiopia 🇪🇹 (implicato in crimin di guerra) ha diffidato #CNN, #BBC, #Reuters #AssociatedPress durante la guerra in #Tigray, +6MLN di persone in totale blackout elettrico & comunicativo. Il #TigrayGenocide ha prodotto 800.000 morti tra i civili di etnia tigrina.
