In a tragic event on 25 December, 2023, an aerial #drone_strike on the Full Gospel Church in #Baro village, Kombolcha district, claimed eight lives, leaving three severely injured. Church members gathered for an activity were unexpectedly caught in the attack. The injured are now in critical condition at Kombolcha City Hospital, with a grim prognosis. Among the deceased were young artists Damena Lika and Dugasa Wakene.
The local community, already tense from ongoing clashes between government forces and the Oromo Liberation Army (#OLA), is now shrouded in silence, with movement restricted. Residents, including the bereaved church congregation, were barred from attending the funerals of the victims.
This incident underscores the escalating violence in the#Oromia region, where drone strikes have become more frequent since peace talks with the OLA stalled two months ago. Addis Standard had previously reported over a dozen deaths from drone strikes in October, coinciding with #Irreechaa celebrations. The growing conflict has led to numerous civilian deaths and displacements, particularly in Kombolcha and #Hababo_Guduru districts.
The corruption of the best things gives rise to the worst. When good people in any country cease their vigilance and struggle, then evil men prevail. #Ethiopia is sold.
Remember, success in politics is multifaceted, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. But if you at least have Effective Communication, Strategic Thinking, Public Service Mindset, and Engagement with your Constituents, then you are progressing. — My two cents
The 'mine, mine, mine' phase is annoying!
Why do Amhara politicians act like toddlers thinking everything is theirs? They have stolen everything and nothing left.
Number of Supporters of Ethiopian government who are criticizing prime minister Abiy Ahmed for targeting families and friends of politicians who don’t support him on his wickedness are increasing. #Oromo#oromia
Abiy Ahmed’s drama is endless. He is trying his best to divert the current topic that Taye called him, “a deceiver and a fiend playing with innocent lives”. Listen to another crazy one following Branu Jula’s gugugaga.
