TPLF in 2025: a house divided against itself 🧵

The current trajectory of the TPLF’s internal politics is unsustainable. The once-dominant Tigray People’s Liberation Front is now a house divided—a fractured entity with two competing factions, neither of which serves the interests of #Tigray.

From Ras Alula Aba Nega, who crushed European/Ottoman colonizers in the 1800s, to the TDF (Tigray Defense Forces), which defended Tigray against genocide in 2020–2022 — #Tigray’s history is one of resistance and resilience.

8/ The Land of the Queen of Sheba (Queen Makda)

Legend says the Queen ruled from Axum (in today’s #Tigray) and bore a son, Menelik I, with King Solomon. This dynasty shaped Ethiopian history for centuries. The legacy of Queen Makda continues today in the resilience of Tigrayan women. #TigrayQueens

7/ The First Hijrah:

While the most famous #Hijrah (or migration) is the migration from Mecca to Medina, many Islamic scholars consider the migration to #Aksum as the “First Hijrah.” This establishment of the first Muslim community outside Arabia marks a significant moment in early Islamic history.

6/ Early Muslim Refugees in Aksum:

Islamic tradition holds that early #Muslims, facing persecution in Mecca, sought #asylum in the Christian Kingdom of Aksum. King Najashi (or Negus) welcomed the refugees, and is celebrated in Islamic sources for his justice and protection of these early followers.

Thread: Tigrayan Elites’ Betrayal of the People of Tigray 🧵

#Tigray’s current leaders have been engaging in internal power struggles. Lately, they have stooped to begging architects of #TigrayGenocide to settle their disputes. For Tigrayan survivors of war crimes, this is nothing short of a farce.

10/ As the authors of the report on HIV in #Tigray have emphasized, “access to HIV medicines is a basic human right and should not be denied.” The #TigrayGenocide has exposed the staggering human cost of conflict, leaving many women and girls without the life-saving HIV treatment they urgently need.

Thread: a random #Tigrayan’s perspective on #Jesus and His Teachings
