The solution of the @ec.europa.eu and member states to migration is supporting African regimes, turning blind eye to genocide and funding the RSF and sexual violence.
That's a very short sighted approach that will never solve the problem if not exacerbate it.

Congratulations to the people of #Syria for getting rid of the bloodthirsty tyrant. It's a lesson to all tyrants that external support will not save regimes.

Four years ago, thousands of civilians were massacred in #Axum, #Tigray, by Eritrean forces. Amnesty and HRW called it a war crime. Today, people in Axum remember the massacre and call for justice. #Tigray #AxumMassacre

Disinformation campaigns about the Tigray Genocide go beyond social media. A recent paper from Leiden University’s African Studies Centre uses bad research and a conspiracy theory to “debunk” genocide, mass rape, forced starvation, and massacres of Tigrayan civilians.
