🧵: As Africa celebrates #AfricaDay2026 and speaks of unity, dignity, and freedom under #Agenda2063, we must ask: What does “African solutions” mean if genocide, siege, & mass atrocities can be hidden in plain sight? #Tigray #EndImpunity @_AfricanUnion theconversation.com/how-to-g…

12/ A continent that tolerates impunity today risks normalizing atrocity tomorrow. Justice is not anti-African. Impunity is. @_AfricanUnion @ymahmoudali #EndImpunity theconversation.com/how-to-g…

11/ You cannot build “The Africa We Want” while survivors of mass atrocities remain displaced, silenced, and denied justice. Peace without accountability is fragile. Silence without truth is dangerous. #AfricaDay2026 @UN_HRC @EU_Commission @StateDept theconversation.com/how-to-g…

10/ A future built on denial cannot last. Truth. Justice. Accountability. Return of displaced people. Restoration of dignity. That is the foundation of lasting peace. @_AfricanUnion #EndImpunity #AfricaDay2026 theconversation.com/how-to-g…

9/ The survivors are still here. The displaced are still waiting. The wounds are still open. Accountability delayed is injustice prolonged. #JusticeForTigray #AfricaDay2026 #Agenda2063 @UNHumanRights @amnesty @hrw @UN @IntlCrimCourt @achpr_cadhp theconversation.com/how-to-g…

8/ If Africa truly wants: “Africa We Want” then African lives must matter equally. No political alliance should outweigh justice. No silence should outweigh human dignity. #AfricaDay2026 #Tigray #EndImpunity @_AfricanUnion @AUC_PAPS @achpr_cadhp theconversation.com/how-to-g…

7/ The credibility of Africa’s human rights institutions depends on whether they protect states from scrutiny — or protect civilians from atrocity crimes. History will remember the choice. @_AfricanUnion #Agenda2063 #EndImpunity @DCP_Haddadi @ymahmoudali theconversation.com/how-to-g…

6/ Thousands of survivors of: ▪️mass killings ▪️rape as a weapon of war ▪️forced starvation ▪️ethnic cleansing are still waiting for truth, justice, and the safe return of displaced communities. #JusticeForTigray @UNHumanRights @hrw @UN @IntlCrimCourt theconversation.com/how-to-g…

5/ The @_AfricanUnion cannot celebrate #Agenda2063 while victims of mass atrocities remain displaced, silenced, and denied justice. Peace without accountability is not peace. It is managed impunity. #AfricaDay2026 @StateDept @EU_Commission @FCDOGovUK theconversation.com/how-to-g…

4/ The world often says: “We didn’t know.” But many tried very hard to make sure the world could NOT know. Blackouts protect perpetrators. Visibility protects civilians. #EndImpunity #NeverAgain @antonioguterres @volker_turk @UNHumanRights @_AfricanUnion theconversation.com/how-to-g…

3/ Millions of civilians were trapped without: ❌ electricity ❌ banking ❌ telecommunications ❌ medicine ❌ humanitarian access Isolation became a battlefield. #TigrayGenocide #AfricaDay2026 @achpr_cadhp @UNHumanRights @IntlCrimCourt @CIJ_ICJ theconversation.com/how-to-g…

2/ A recent article exposed how atrocities in Tigray were concealed from the world through: ▪️Communication blackouts ▪️Humanitarian blockade ▪️Restricted journalism ▪️Dehumanizing propaganda Silence was weaponized. #EndImpunity @ymahmoudali @DCP_Haddadi theconversation.com/how-to-g…

1/ Tigray was not “forgotten.” It was deliberately hidden. Blackouts. Siege. Propaganda. Restricted journalists. Blocked aid. Invisibility became a weapon of war. As Africa marks #AfricaDay2026, the @_AfricanUnion must confront this legacy honestly. theconversation.com/how-to-g…
