“No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”

I do not call my father great because he’s my father and i feel a sense of obligation, i call him great because his actions have always proven his greatness. Leading by example is what he does best! He taught me how to be kind, loving, empathetic, honest, caring and selfless...♥️
“Devastating war is happening in my home region of Tigray, the northern part of Ethiopia.And I have many relatives there, including my younger brother, and I don’t know where they are.
Northern Tigray is in trouble. The situation is worsening.”

If I were still president, I would be honored if this man were the head of the center for Disease control, the NIH.He's a great public servant and his family's been through hell in 🇪🇹 , and he still shows up to work. ”

"The situation in Tigray, Ethiopia, is, if I use one word, horrific. Very horrific. Many people have started dying actually because of hunger.
Rape is rampant. I don't think there was that scale anywhere else in the world actually,"
@DrTedros
Never felt so sad in my life. Swear if i could take their place i would. They dont deserve this. No one did. No one does.

Words cannot repay the debt we owe our heroes, surely with our actions we must strive to keep faith with them and with the vision that led them to battle and to final sacrifice. They will always live in our hearts forever. 💔💔💔
“Unless we aim higher, we will land lower;
Unless we sow solidarity, we will reap division;
Unless we seek peace, we will find war.
Today, and every day, we have a choice.
Peace, peace, peace.”

A de facto blockade preventing medicines and other life-saving supplies reaching Ethiopia's Tigray has created "hell" in the war-ravaged region, and is "an insult to our humanity",Nowhere in the world are we witnessing hell like in Tigray,"
@DrTedros
"Yes, I’m from
#Tigray
, and yes, this affects me personally. I don’t pretend it doesn’t. I have many relatives in some of the most affected areas. But my job is to draw the world’s attention to crises that threaten the health of people wherever they are"-
@DrTedros
"Yes, I am from Tigray, and this crisis affects me, my family & my friends very personally.
But as the Director-General of WHO, I have a duty to protect & promote health wherever it is under threat"-
@DrTedros
Honesty, Hard-work and resilience always pays off! Congratulations dad! Love you and I’m so proud you! Keep serving the world with a pure heart and kindness! 🙏🏽♥️
"In Tigray, WHO has not been permitted to deliver medical supplies since mid-July of last year.
This is despite repeated requests from WHO to provide medical supplies to the Tigray region, which would help meet some of the humanitarian and health needs in Tigray."-
@DrTedros

Children in

are being robbed of their futures. We can’t give the children back their childhood. We can’t undo trauma once it’s experienced. Protect children in Tigray.

Thank you Dad. Thank you for being amazing human who has always strived to help others. The world is a better place because you’re in it. I love you! ❤️
#MayThe4th
is my son’s birthday too. Happy birthday my dear son, Amanuel. When times are tough, all it takes are thoughts of you to pull me through. You are my pride and joy. Much Love my dear son.
The war in Tigray has brought untold suffering to humanity especially the youth, children, women and the elderly. They fight others for nothing but EGO and pride. They rape, maim, starve others to show that they are ALL powerful. May sense rein in. 💔
With great honour, I received the Julius B. Richmond Award - thank you Dean Michelle Williams &
@HarvardChanSPH
. I am committed to following Dr Richmond’s example to do everything in my power to improve the health of the 🌍’s people, especially the poorest & most vulnerable.
If you want to watch horror in real life go to Ethiopia. f***ing evil! How can they sleep? Killing people throwing their bodies in to a river. Pictures coming out are very horrific. Can’t sleep man! Pray for Humera 🙏🏽

“I know that I am just an individual. Tedros is just a dot in the whole universe. Issues targeted on me, personally, I don’t mind. I prefer to really focus on saving lives. Humility and compassion and care and big heart for those who are suffering”
@DrTedros
♥️
Happy Father's Day to this amazing man. A humble, selfless, hard working, kind, honest human who makes us proud every single day! Thanks for all you do. We love you Dad ♥️
I pray for my people of Tigray! I pray for the children who are caught in the middle! I pray for the elders with underlying health issues who can’t get their medication refill.
