Ethiopia: It’s reported that three civilian Amhara men—Temesgen Getachew, Yitagesu Asegde, and Gizaw Girma—were forced off a public bus in Abeshge Woreda, Gurage Zone, and brutally killed by regime forces after being accused of being “Fano members''

Ethiopia: Regime-backed mass killings of Amhara communities in the Arsi Zone of Oromia Region reportedly continue. More than 50 Amharas have been killed, hundreds displaced, and an Ethiopian Orthodox church burned.
A widespread and horrific attack targeting Orthodox Christians and churches is happening in the Oromia region, East Arsi zone, Aseko woreda since May 31, 2026.
Local residents have informed me by phone that so far 49 people have lost their lives, and they fear that more than 280 people whose whereabouts are unknown and who cannot be reached by phone may have also been killed.
The residents stated that OLA (Shene) militants carried out the attack and mentioned these armed groups had previously attacked an area called 'Teleta Gabriel' more than seven times.
What makes the current situation different is, they said, is that militants from Merti woreda, Fentale, Kereyu, and the Itu area all gathered together, numbering approximately three thousand. Crying and screaming in panic, residents report that these militants came to the Aseko woreda and completely burned down Biyo kebele, Teleta Gabriel, Kufte, Medhane Alem, and the surrounding areas.
Residents say the attacks have now spread to Irecha Michael, Sunte Maryam, Lencha Oda, Kwas Dire, Arba Kela, Weranbus, and various other places. They stated that, so far, not a single government force has entered the area, and the militants have laid siege to the surroundings, preventing anyone from escaping while carrying out a massacre.
This area is Addis Ababa Mayor Adanech Abebie's birthplace; perhaps she even knows some of the deceased, or studied or worked alongside them. Let's assume that unlike what we see in the rest of the world, that is going to the scene immediately to calm and comfort the public was impossible due to the ongoing attacks. But when such a horrific attack is committed in her birthplace, why did she fail to simply say 'rest in peace' and condemn the act?
What about other officials and security forces? Why have the country's defense forces, police, militia, air force, and other forces been unable to prevent an attack that has been going on not just for hours, but for days up to this very moment?
The situation in this country is sometimes exhausting. When the people cry out for rescue, these days they plead to the media rather than the government. Yet, when the media delivers this information to the public, it is the media itself that ends up being insulted and persecuted by both the public and the government.
Anyway, writing this gives me a bit of relief. However, the condition of the citizens I spoke to... the crying, panicking, and screaming... is a tragic reality that will never be erased from my mind.
May their souls rest in peace!
Ethiopia is about to hold another sham election. Real opposition parties face obstructions while fake opposition parties are allowed to flourish. https://t.co/F88ZAPXnrb
Influencers visiting Ethiopia: don’t mistake VIP tours, luxury hotels, blocked roads, and curated hospitality for reality.
Behind the smoke and mirrors are war, mass displacement, and a deepening human rights crisis.
Ask hard questions. Don’t be used for propaganda.
One of the irresponsible soldiers of the Ethiopian regime, whom the Abiy Ahmed regime has sent to Russia and Azerbaijan to train, has confessed that he is receiving weapons of mass destruction training that can kill 17 civilians in 9 seconds. Isn't that amazing?.
