The @_AfricanUnion is a continental body of 55 member states that make up the countries of the African continent. It’s goals include promoting peace, security, and stability of the continent. While that is the case, the AU and @AU_PSD council have failed to #StopWarOnTigray
The @_AfricanUnion was established as an evolution of the OAU in 2002. Ethiopia played a key role in creating the AU and its headquarters is based in Addis Ababa. A generation later, the capital of the AU is terrorizing its citizens jeopardizing the body’s founding principles.
On November 4, 2020, the @PMEthiopia declared war on the region of #Tigray stating it was a “law and order” operation to bring TPLF leaders to justice.
But it has become clear that it is an internationalized war aiming at the collective punishment and genocide of Tigrayans.
On November 20, 2020, the @_AfricanUnion proposed sending an envoy including Joaquim Chissano, @MaEllenSirleaf, and Kgalema Motlanthe.
On November 26, 2020 shortly before the envoy arrived a final stage was announced by Ethiopia as a rebuff to the mediation efforts of the AU.
@AbiyAhmedAli resisted mediation as calling it an “interference” and refused to have dialogue with the Ethiopian combatants.
Genocide watch has placed Ethiopia on stage 9, extermination.
The AU should’ve enacted article 4(h) in these circumstances to protect Ethiopians.
The @_AfricanUnion’s blatant acceptance of Ethiopia’s rejection to mediation has made a mockery of the AU principles of peacemaking
A senior diplomat remarked, “Abiy thinks that the AU is for others, not Ethiopia”
The @_AfricanUnion has failed #Tigray.
Instead of condemning the Ethiopian Government’s war against its own citizens, @AUC_MoussaFaki condoned Ethiopia’s ‘law and order’ mission that has killed thousands during his speech in the IGAD summit.
