Tigray's Hidden Holocaust: Multinationals Committing Genocide on the Faithful, War on Peace and Tyranny on Democracy!
Hailemariam Abebe 11-29-20 - It has now been about a month since Tigray has been invaded by a regional, national and a multinational army the likes never seen in the history of this home to the great Axumite Empire. But if one reads what the major news outlets (Reuters, BBC, DW, France 24, Aljazeera, The Guardian, Bloomberg, Fox News, The World, NYTimes, Washington Post, CNN, AP, VOA etc.,) report, what he or she is bound to read is about a war between...

U.S. diplomacy is failing in Ethiopia, in new ways and old
The conflict in Ethiopia emerges from a long and complex political history and could easily spiral further out of control. U.S. diplomacy today is under-resourced and uncoordinated, with its leadership asleep at the wheel, leaving Washington poorly positioned to help avert the emerging disaster. America's blunt diplomatic approach to Ethiopia historically, however, would struggle to play a constructive role, too.



11-28-20 - Destruction in Mekelle and Eritrean Refugee abduction Report...
Reports coming from the front line - The Abiy and Isaias group have started bombing Mekelle City. The city is being bombed indiscriminately. The aggressors are destroying all Tigrai infrastructures. Multiple eyewitnesses reported also the Eritrean regime has rounded up over 6000 Eritrean refugees from Shimeleba and Hendade camp in western Tigrai and taken them to Eritrea. The international community has blood in its hand for remaining silent on this issue.

The Third Woyane: The Third Time's The Charm
Aynalem Sebhatu 11-28-20 - As conflicts spike in every corner of the country, the war against Tigray ravages the northern part of Ethiopia, the urgent call for ceasefire and the urgent need to find a political solution is revibrating in the international corridors of power. From the UN Security Council to the African Union, every effort of negotiated settlement has been rebuffed by the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Abiy Ahmed. The 44 years old Prime Minister is a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019. .

Capital of Ethiopia's Tigray region under intense bombardment

Humanitarian Task force of Canadians against the Ongoing Genocide in Ethiopia
11-27-20 - As Canadians of Ethiopian origin, we are horrified by the ongoing genocide in Ethiopia. As you have undoubtedly read in the media and perhaps been provided further information through private briefings, we would like to provide you the facts from the battlefields. Military forces of an unelected, caretaker, Ethiopian government, supported by foreign countries that have vested geopolitical and economic interest in the East Africa Region, are committing genocide against the citizens of the National Regional State of Tigray.

Report of heavy Eritrean casualties in Tigray war

Insanity! Political Laundry in Ethiopia?
Aesop 11-26-20 - The current violence in Ethiopia is largely a manifestation of what Isaias christened: "political laundry project in Ethiopia!". Derg 2.0 (2018-2020) is, in my view, a junior partner in this project. Otherwise, we would not have witnessed Eritrean military commanders deploying Ethiopian troops into Tigrai.

Is Europe ready for another wave of Immigrants?
YHT 11-25-20 - Timeline of Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia: from a Nobel prize winning "democratic reformer" to a power-hungry dictator.

How have we got from there to here?/a>
W. Yilma November 24, 2020 - The psychopath, morally bankrupted unelected, "past" prime minister Ali has forced Ethiopians to demonstrate in support of the unjustifiable, but destruction war he declared on the people of Tigray. In my lifetime I have never think of the Ethiopian people will reach to such low level of moral standards, spiritual as well as religious bankruptcies.

Hailemariam Abebe -24-20 - For the past three weeks, a combined force of the Ethiopian and Eritrean armies, a total of some thirty-eight divisions (about four hundred thousand), have been committing a campaign of extermination in Tigray! And yet, if there is any coverage by the major international media outlets, it is just about a regurgitation of what the Ethiopian dictator’s ultimatums.

As Ethiopia's army declares daily victories, its people are being plunged into violence
Abiy Ahmed has promised military victory in Tigray. He says he will capture the capital, Mekelle, and the leadership of the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), which he calls a criminal junta.

Who Benefits from the Destruction of Ethiopia?
by ALEX DEWAAL on NOVEMBER 19, 2020 - There are a lot of unanswered questions about the war in Ethiopia. Let me pose one more: who stands to gain across the region? Ten years ago the then-Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Meles Zenawi told me, "my nightmare is that we should have an Egyptian agenda financed by Gulf money." He didn't foresee state-of-the-art military technology as part of that nightmare.


Open Letter To: His Excellency and Highness Khalifa Al Nahyan; President of the UAE and Emir of Abu Dhabi; and His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum; Prime Minister and Vice President of the UAE
We, concerned British citizens and residents of the UK of Ethiopian origin strongly condemn the UAE's flagrant involvement in and support for the genocidal war waged by the Abiy Ahmed and Isaias Afewerki's Ruling Parties against the Tigrayan nationality of Ethiopia. There is now substantial and confirmed evidence that the Government of the UAE have been providing the dictatorial rulers of Ethiopia and Eritrea not only financial and personnel support but also genocidal weaponry launched from the UAE bases in Asab and airfields in Eritrea...


The Western Powers & Press, Think Tanks, You have not only Endangered the UNESCO World Heritages but also You have Genocide in your Hands!
