Dear Gabby Stern, WHO Director of Communications,

I am an Ethiopian American journalist with both parents from Tigray, Ethiopia. And the way your office is weaponizing your global health platform to push TPLF ethnofacist propaganda is criminal. It is a known fact that Tedros Adhanom, Director General of the World Health Organization is a leading member of TPLF, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front.

The TPLF is a brutal ethnofacist organization that kills in the dark and pretends to be “liberating” in the light. While the group were rebels in the 1970s, they first killed anyone in Tigray who went against their evil ideology before they did the same in the rest of Ethiopia and eventually got to top of government.

The TPLF had its time. The people of the Horn of Africa have spoken. That time is over. Your office is digging a hole for itself and then planting seeds of resentment on the African continent that you are going to be working against for generations. Your deep racism for those on the African continent is so palpable. If you could see how you look to so many of us with roots in Africa, you too would be in disgust.

The people of Tigray, Ethiopia are suffering because of your office and its ethnofascist head - Tedros Adhanom. It is his criminal organization that is holding the people of Tigray as collateral in the hopes of ruling millions against their will. As we saw World Food Programme confirm, aid has been flowing into Tigray since April - yet the Guardian newspaper is reporting that women and girls in Tigray are being forced into sex due to hunger. Who is weaponizing the aid, TPLF members, local people in Tigray or NGO staff? We need to know.

As a global health organization, is it worth throwing away what little you have left of your credibility by backing a terrorist organization? Or is it because you think Africans are so stupid that they won’t notice or remember? They notice and they will remember.

We don’t expect you to start treating Africans like humans, but many people have spoken on social media. And this is just another way to put it on record so you can’t say later, “oh we didn’t know.” Your repulsive propaganda strategy is not going unnoticed.


Best,

Fighting erupts along border of Ethiopia's northern Tigray region

NAIROBI, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Fighting between forces from Ethiopia's rebellious northern region of Tigray and central government forces has erupted around the town of Kobo, residents and both sides said on Wednesday, ending a months-long ceasefire.

The fighting is a major blow to hopes for peace talks between Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government and the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), the party that controls Tigray.

Both sides have blamed each other for the outbreak of fighting.

At 5am today (the TPLF) has attacked on the Eastern Front; from Bisober, Zobel and Tekulshe direction. By carrying out such measure, it has effectively broken the ceasefire,

the government's communications service said in a statement.

The previous day, as social media lit up with allegations of troops on the move, the military put out a statement accusing the Tigrayan side of preparing to attack and cover their tracks by spreading fake news of military movements.

It has become an open secret that they (the TPLF) are campaigning to incriminate our army,

said the statement, accusing the TPLF of mounting

pre-conflict propaganda.

In turn, the military command of the Tigrayan forces accused the government of violating the ceasefire, saying in a statement it believed the attack near Kobo, to the south of Tigray, was a diversion and their forces expected a major attack from the west.

The Tigrayan statement identified units it said had been sent to the frontline and said the government had been repositioning its forces for the past five days.

Three residents reporting hearing heavy weapons since early morning. They also said there had been movement of Ethiopian soldiers, Amhara special forces and volunteer Fano militia in the past two days.

They said they did not know who had started the fighting. Reuters could not immediately get information on the movements of Tigrayan forces. Telephone connections inside Tigray have been down for more than a year.

Ethiopian government spokesman Legesse Tulu, military spokesman Colonel Getnet Adane, Amhara regional spokesman Gizachew Muluneh and the prime minister's spokeswoman Billene Seyoum did not respond to requests for comment.

The fighting in Africa's second most populous nation has displaced millions of people, pushed parts of Tigray into famine and killed thousands of civilians.

LONG WAR

War erupted in Tigray in November 2020 and spilled into the neighbouring regions of Afar and Amhara a year ago. Last November, Tigrayan forces marched towards Addis Ababa, but were driven back by a government offensive in November.

A ceasefire was announced in March after both sides fought to a bloody stalemate and the government declared a humanitarian truce, allowing badly needed food aid into the region.

In June, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government formed a committee to negotiate with the TPLF and earlier this month the government said it wanted talks "with no preconditions". Tigray's government has called for the restoration of services to civilians before talks begin. Read more: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/et ... 022-06-14/

Tigray has been without banking and communication services since the military pulled out at the end of June. Imports of fuel are restricted, limiting the distribution of aid.

The World Food Programme (WFP) said in a report last week that since April 1 only 20% of the fuel needed to distribute humanitarian supplies had entered Tigray. Read more: https://www.reuters.com/world/africa/ne ... 022-08-19/

Almost 90% of people in the region need aid, the United Nations said, warning rates of malnutrition had "skyrocketed" and the situation was expected to get worse until October's harvest.

There is also shortages of some medical equipment and many drugs to treat common diseases like visceral leishmaniasis, say doctors at Ayder Referral Hospital, the biggest hospital in Tigray.

Health minister Lia Tadesse said that there was a shortage of the medicine used to treat visceral leishmaniasis nationwide but that available stocks were

being processed to be sent to Tigray.
