One @WFP convoy of 50 trucks with food + other critical aid entered Mekelle, #Tigray this week after days traversing roadblocks. This represents only 1% of the food that is needed for the month.
Ethiopians will starve unless more convoys are allowed, & much faster.

All TPLF did for its entire existence is perfection of the art of deception and normalization of dependency and begging. Their super empty ego and their begging tradition are never at collusion course. You can't depend on others and still claim that you are the superior and dominant human race. smh!!
WFP is willing to feed 5 million in the Region so they can keep slinging their gun and smoking their weed. Let's wait and see for how long that is going to carry on.

Samatha Power should know the fact that it is the tplf, the tplf alone who directly and indirectly sabotage both Food Aid and local Food Production in the case of the Tigray region so that the Tigryan people can be intimidated and being used as an excuse for tplf's endless habitual warmongering and violence promotion because tplf mainly knows how to shoot and loot but not so much how to make peace and help their people to become peaceful get empowered and self sufficient and then proceeding to become healthy, proud and wealthy people.
Why else the Tigryan people remained wretched dirt poor all those close to 30 long years when the tplf used to be the main governing party of Ethiopia, having exclusive initiative and decision making policies in Ethiopia? Allowing more convoys can not solve the problem at all unless the tplf stops violence and concentrates on building critical infrastructures, such as roads, hospitals, medical supplies, telecommunication infrastructures, transport infrastructures, electric infrastructures, etc, that are important in making efficient transportation, distributions, assigning administrative duties and responsibilities, etc.
Otherwise all of these so called aid supply will end up in Tplf private storage's for private business. Worse yet, deadly forbidden weapons and ammunition may also be smuggled in under the cover of food aid just to help the tplf rebels and harm the federal government which is in fact a capital crime to do so. That is why every single air and land transport activities must strictly be inspected before proceeding. That is in fact international and standard normal behavior. To refuse to get inspected is like saying I am a criminal, leave me alone! If you have NOTHING TO HIDE why refuse inspection? Just tell me ONE REASON please!

Please see a quote from WFP
report, "The 29 truckloads of wheat, split peas and vegetable oil will cover the urgent food needs of 200,000 people for a week in Tigray.
The convoy travelled 445 kilometres from Semera to Mekele via Abala in four days. It passed through over ten checkpoints on the way, where the humanitarian cargo was rigorously checked."
Semera to Mekele is a 7 hours journey.
The Ethiopian government is doing all it can to ensure that a 7 hour journey takes 4 days by placing unlimited hurdles. The intent to starve Tigray and use of famine as weapon of war started before November 2020 and still going on with maximum possible vigour. These tactics of delaying food aid from reaching Tigray ( you called them "international and standard normal behavior") will be judged by international standard experts when Abiy and his officials are prosecuted for war crimes and genocide.
Do you really think that an expert witness will think making a journey of 7 hours to take 4 days is just a normal behavior?

Yes even a journey of 7 hours can take 4 days or more, depending on the nature of the conflict, its location, its intensity, security, emotions, lack of trust, lack of facilities, lack of experiences, etc. Who said that 7 hours is some thing static and something GOD given absolute issue because "7 hours" is only mechanical measurement to be used by different humans using political, military, diplomatic, economic, humanitarian, security, emotional, rational, etc, variables.
Why is it that the power hungry and greedy tplf crossed the the RED LINE and set in motion all of these spiraling problems and now turn around 360 degrees and try to blame THE VICTIMS for its catastrophic cardinal mistakes?
I am not a politician but yet I think that the tplf must face the International Criminal Court for attacking the Ethiopian Deference Forces and driving heavy trucks on the families and members of the defense forces families as a form of extreme terror for dominating the army and going ahead to overthrow the federal legal government. Add to these the multiple firings of deadly missiles towards Amara cities and Eritrean towns and through that terrorizing peaceful innocent civilians.
Add to these again the mikadra mass killing of civilians by city vacating tplf young fighters (samiri?). Already even these criminal activities against the Ethiopian people, the Ethiopian government, the Eritrean people and the Eritrean government are more than enough for dragging the tplf to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and have them undoubtedly condemned because these tplf criminal activities strongly helped launch the current ongoing conflict. By missile attacking Eritrea, the tplf willfully and directly invited the Eritreans to get alert and defend themselves like any country in the world.

I guess you are still expecting what ever internationally well known organization or institutions are there, to do what they are supposed to do....! Come on...you know better.
Cease fire is called when the party they support is in danger of extinction. Free passage, alarm of hunger and the need of relief aid gets attention to supply the party they support with food and armament. Peace negotiation advocates, to give time to their party in crime to get strength and ammunition for better luck in the next battle.
