Part of the reason why the #invasion of #Ukraine, #Tigray, and #Palestine hit so hard is that the destruction of the #culture is a core objective. It's so obviously a #genocide intended to end an entire people group. And one way we can make the destruction of culture much, much harder is to share #Ukrainian, #Tigrayan, and #Palestinian #art, #music, #cuisine, #literature, #language, etc., so the world cannot deny its existence, and so it can be found more easily by people who were denied it.

The military in #Ethiopia says members of the #Amhara special forces have started withdrawing from #Tigray, in line with a peace agreement that ended a two year civil war. The troops from Amhara had helped the government in its fight against #Tigrayan rebels. The defence ministry said a send-off ceremony was held as they left the city of #Shire. Earlier this week fighters from Tigray began handing over their heavy weapons in line with November's peace agreement.
