| 1625166036063469568 | Ethos of research is buried alive when the self-confessed liar @martinplaut appears as a researcher.Zimbabwe & now Ethiopia are in Onslow & Plaut's hit list.

| 1623762013821235205 | @martinplaut Just because something is repeated doesn’t make it fact. Allegations and/or accusations of Eritrean atrocities originated from TPLF and those in the diaspora, along w/ the help of conflict entrepreneurs such as yourself amplified these falsehoods. Nothing has been substantiated,… https://t.co/JYYwI5hLbp | 52 |
| 1627000767377727488 | @martinplaut It's sickening to see someone being a merchant of war is not only morally bankrupt, but it also shows a complete disregard for human life. Shame on @martinplaut for promoting false narratives about the conflict in Tigray to sell a book and line their pockets and profiting! | 42 |
