”I have never seen this.The Crimes follow one another.Churches are destroyed.And it’s a war against the #Tigrayans. They are after our story and want to kill everyone.it is #Genocide. They want to destroy the Tigrayans and the #Tigray…it is the federal government that attacks us and gives the orders. As a result,we were attacked from all sides. But it is Addis Ababa that is primarily responsible. I no longer believe that Tigrayans are Ethiopians anymore. I’m so sad. I would have preferred to die than to see this.God decided otherwise.But I still wonder why I’m still alive. Tigrayans are courageous, hardworking. Our values are as strong as stones. And some are jealous of it. They knew they couldn’t run Ethiopia the way they wanted. So they want to destroy Tigray to control the country as they see fit ”
