Another Round of Massacre in Arsi
(OLF-OLA Press Release)
Over the past several years, in Arsi—including the Asakoo area—Abiy Ahmed's forces and his network of cadres have systematically fomented division among the people. They have set Oromos against Amharas, Muslims against Christians. And within the Oromo people themselves, they have sought to turn Christian Tulama Oromo against their Muslim Oromo brothers. To effectuate division, weapons have been placed in the hands of one group over another. The Prosperity Party openly pretends as though it belongs to one community at the expense of all others. This machinery of distrust has churned for years.
Then came June 31, 2026. As OLA forces mobilized across Oromia to enforce a blockade against the sham election, Abiy Ahmed's cadres seized the opportunity. Capitalizing on years of engineered ethnic and religious incitement, regime operatives in the region actively ignited and abetted communal violence. It was in the bloodshed that followed that civilian lives were lost. It’s the typical signature Abiy Ahmed move.
Today, the mere fact that opposition forces across the country have rejected horizontal quarrels, even without any united action against Abiy Ahmed's reign of terror, the regime finds itself running out of reasons to divide people. The Oromia state administration—already caught red-handed by international media, directly ordering the killing of Oromo Gada elders and blaming it on the OLA—now claims that "the forces deployed to challenge our election targeted the church," as if churches were ever sites of electoral fraud.
From the very beginning, Abiy Ahmed had two goals when he derailed the peace process with the OLA in 2018. First, to use the idea of “OLA in the bush” as a scapegoat to crush any political opposition in Oromia. He has said openly: "The TPLF ruled for 27 years by totally controlling political life in Tigray. We will do the same in Oromia." The second aim was to wield the OLA as a phantom enemy against the Amhara. Behind closed doors, he has admitted: "If the Amhara do not kneel, I will attack them and show them whether they prefer the OLA as an alternative to me."
We have many political differences with the Amhara and other forces. That is healthy and natural, and differences will continue. But for far too long, we have allowed Abiy Ahmed to kill Amharas and blame Oromos; to kill Oromos and blame Amharas—while we gobbled divisive narratives. That era is over. Going forward, it will not succeed. Whatever political differences, we all have shared agreement on the sanctity of human life.

I once spent 40min with an elderly patient explaining why an ICD wasn’t indicted for her very mild familial cardiomyopathy. She got a 2nd opinion from her sister’s physician and the doc direct admitted her to the hospital for a semi-emergent ICD implantation to “keep her from dying.” She credited him with saving her life. The ICD went off 3x for inappropriate shocks but never for Vt/Vf. She still believed her life was saved by the ICD. It’s hard to use scientific evidence when other docs defy it and tell patients they are better off.

#Ethiopia: #EOTC Patriarch warns of ‘growing divisions’ within #TPLF leadership, states it undermines ‘glimmer of peace’
His Holiness Abune Mathias I, Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (EOTC), has expressed concern over the increasing divisions within the leadership of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), cautioning that the internal discord could endanger the fragile peace in Tigray.
In letters addressed to TPLF Chairman Debretsion Gebremichael (PhD) and Tigray Interim Administration President Getachew Reda, the Patriarch stated, “The widening differences are destroying the glimmer of peace we’ve found.” He warned, “Choosing silence would make us accountable before both man and Creator, which is why I am compelled to write this advisory letter.”

Our mission to negotiate the release of @UN staff detainees and to assess the health and humanitarian situation in #Yemen concluded today. We continue to call for the detainees' immediate release.
As we were about to board our flight from Sana’a, about two hours ago, the airport came under aerial bombardment. One of our plane’s crew members was injured. At least two people were reported killed at the airport. The air traffic control tower, the departure lounge — just a few meters from where we were — and the runway were damaged.
We will need to wait for the damage to the airport to be repaired before we can leave.
My UN and @WHO colleagues and I are safe.
Our heartfelt condolences to the families whose loved ones lost their lives in the attack.
