My eldest sister and her hometown Mekelle
Solomon Tadele 12-21-20 - My nephew called from Mekelle as soon as the telephone lines resumed working and informed us about our eldest sister, who has now turned 80, that she had a health emergency after sunset, and they were unable to take her to the hospital or buy some first aid drugs from pharmacy. For an entire month we were stressed out by fear that they may die


Eritrea heavily involved in Tigray conflict, say eyewitnesses
In early December, Ethiopian state television broadcast something unexpected: a fiery exchange between civilians in Shire, in the northern Tigray region, and Ethiopian soldiers, who had recently arrived in the area.

TIGRAI WILL WIN AGAINST ALL THE ODDS!
G.Amare, December 19, 2020 - To begin with, let me share a narrative of an incident that was aired on Tigrai TV which had caught my attention. It is a single incident but tells a lot about the intrinsic social values and moral principles of the Tigrai people. On 29 November 2020, the Tigrai forces claimed to have shot down Ethiopia’s fighter aircraft, MiG-23.


A gulf of difference: How the UAE and Egypt's close coordination fell apart and what's next

A Heart-felt Gratitude to the Great People of the Sudan!
Hailemariam Abebe 12-19-20 - Dearest Brothers and Sisters, - First, I would like to extend my condolences for the loss in the unprovoked attack by Abiye, Amhara and possibly Isayas's forces on the soldiers of the Sudan guarding their rightful land, so appropriated by the expansionist Amhara Special and militia forces! May those killed rest in peace and the Sudanese people and government, stay strong and determined to bring those who perpetrated this heinous crime to justice!!!


The war on Tigray: A multi-pronged assault driven by genocidal undercurrents
Abiy alleged the cause for the war was Tigray's strike on military bases in the region. Yet his recent "victory speech" to the expired parliament detailed preparations for war that began more than two years ago.In response to his own question of "some people ask, why was the [military] measure not taken earlier, why this late?", he said "one who understands the enemy's capacity and regional alignment of forces does not ask this question,"







Sudan army: 'Border with Ethiopia is defined, we will not give up one inch of our land'

The world is watching.
Libanos Beyene Gebremedhin 12-18-20 - "Never Again," which has been adapted by the UN General Assembly after WWII in 1948, has been violated with the genocides in Cambodia and Rwanda. And here we go again, as the world is witnessing genocide by the fascist Abiy Ahmed and the dictator Isayas Afeworki against ethnic Tigreans in the 21st century with bombardments on innocent civilians, children, women, and elders, which is heartbreaking to see.


Tigray-Tigrigni: Time Long Overdue.
Hailemariam Abebe 12-18-20 - I was either in the 3rd or 4th grade when I first learned about the umbilical cord bonding the great Empire of Axum to Adolis. I remember it clearly, after these so many years, in whose class I first learned about it. It was in the Gibre Guebnet class taught by one of Axum's premier priest and scholar of Saint Yared, Mregeta Fisseha (may he rest in peace). And it is not only with regards to his class of Gibre Guebnet that I remember him so dearly but for the transforming event I had seen him do too.


Tigray: The darkest hour is just before the dawn
Kalayu Abrha 12-17-20 - The proverb, used as a title, may have originated from the Irish song meant to inspire hope under adverse circumstances. What is happening in Tigray has never been dreamt of. It looks like a doomsday scenario: From a tranquil life which was envied by all ethiopians, until a few weeks before, the entire State is overwhelmed by...

Simple Vehicles Make Conflict Tempting and Cheap. The world has entered an era of drone wars.

And yet the debates about drones still center on their use against nonstate actors


Ethiopia: Bloody Burden of Tigrai
Mogos Abraham, PhD Centre for Middle Eastern Studies, Canada 15 December 2020 We had enough everyone! Enough is enough! Although its origin is traced to Tigrai, now, this ancient land called Ethiopia, populated by a majority of uncivilized entities, is outdated. It has outlived its relevance for the 21st century as a nation state. Those backward entities have made Ethiopia irrelevant in all aspects of life.

Role of the U.S. in the Ethiopia-Tigray Civil War
Mulu Getaw, Dec 15, 2020 - I have recently come to appreciate the meaning of the statement "elections have consequences". The election of D.J. Trump has changed the balance of powers in the world so hugely that its consequences have reached even the very far region of Tigray in Ethiopia.
