She survived the efforts to wipe her and her neighbors off the map in Mai Kadra. Please don’t let agents of the same killing force silence her with false narratives.
MAI KADRA, ETHIOPIA - MARCH 05, 2021: Bizuayehu Tesfa, 28, of Mai Kadra, recounts her story of surviving the November 2020 attacks at Mai Kadra while speaking to a journalist at Abune Aregawi Church on March 5, 2021. Bizuayeha recounts: "On November 9 my Tigrayan neighbor named Axumite told us to stay home and lock ourselves inside. After a moment a group of youths who sang a song " አድጊ አምሃራ��� ይውጣ" meaning "let every Amhara leave" and started burning our homes. My home was in flames while I was inside with my baby and with other 3 Amhara youths. Those who were inside with me broke out of the back of the house and saved me and my baby girl." According to interviews conducted in recent days with several dozen victims, witnesses and local officials, around 1,300 (later revised to 1600) ethnic Amharas were killed during a series of attacks by the Samri TPLF (Tigray People’s Liberation Front) Youth Group, TPLF militia and local Tigrayan police, from November 6 to November 10, 2020. Over the course of four days, Samri youth from several towns in Tigray, in addition to TPLF militia and local police, killed farm workers on farms owned by TPLF-affiliated farmer/investors before moving onto Mai Kadra itself, conducting door-to-door searches for ethnic Amharas. Most victims were slashed or hacked; many victims who survived the initial attacks with bladed weapons were shot to death. The violence occurred during a wider conflict between the Ethiopian government and the TPLF that ignited on November 3, 2020, when forces of the TPLF attacked the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) Northern Command headquarters in Mekelle, the capital city of the Tigray region and 4 other bases in the region along with over 100 soft targets as part of an attempt to overthrow the Ethiopian government.

The VOA news, along with the horrific video evidence of mutilated Amhara infants and women, underscores an urgent crisis unfolding in Wellega, where the Amhara community faces imminent and systematic violence. This is not a series of isolated attacks but is be part of an orchestrated plan to terrorize and decimate this population. With local residents pleading for arms to protect themselves against continuous attacks, it is clear they have been abandoned by those tasked with their safety. The international community and human rights organizations must act immediately, as this community is in grave and immediate danger, and without swift intervention, we may witness atrocities on a catastrophic scale.
The 12 second footage from the Wellega massacre reveals the horrific aftermath of brutal violence under the leadership of Abiy Ahmed, whose administration has increasingly targeted the Amhara people through widespread, scorched-earth tactics across Ethiopia, including Addis Ababa. This footage, though brief, encapsulates the unimaginable suffering inflicted on a community facing systematic and relentless aggression. It is a stark reminder of the urgent need for international intervention and accountability to prevent further atrocities against the Amhara people, who are currently at dire risk across multiple regions.

Deadly drone strikes in Ethiopia's Amhara region continue. The timing is ripe for change in the Amhara Region. End the killings. We must mobilize to VOTE Jerry Torres for action in Northern Virginia and across the Potomac. Send Jerry to the Front Lines again.

The Ethiopian bible is the oldest, most complete and original bible on earth.
Written on goat skin in the early Ethiopian language of Ge’ez. It is also World’s first illustrated Christian Bible. The Ethiopian bible dating analysis dated Garima 2 to be written around 390-570, and Garima 1 from 530-660. During the Italian invasion fire was set in the monastery in the 1930s to destroy the monastery’s church nevertheless the Bible survive.
The original Christianity of Egypt was established by the apostle Mark in AD 42 in Ethiopia (Coptic Church--Coptic Orthodox Christianity) where it spread to Europe and some part of Asia. Today We have been told Christianity came from Rome. The Catholic Church begin with the teachings of Yeshua (Yehōshu'a) who lived in the 1st century CE in the province of Judea of the Roman Empire.
Meanwhile by AD 313, the Roman Empire Catholic Church faced persecution and christianity was not openly practice, the Coptic Orthodox Christianity was flourishing in the Aksumite Empire now in Ethiopia. Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion Axum Ethiopia, houses the Ark of the Covenant, bears a design similar to that of Eastern Orthodox churches in Europe. Its most recent building, reconstructed in the 1950s, has a dome similar to the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul. It is heavily guarded.
Lalibela is a holy town most famous for its churches carved from the living rock, which play an important part in the history of rock-cut architecture. Its buildings, built in the 11th and 12th centuries, are considered symbolic representations of biblical Jerusalem. For early Christians, the risk of persecution from the Romans sometimes ran high, forcing them to practice their beliefs in private, posing a challenge for those scholars who study this era.
The King James Version Bible New Testament which is said to be translated from Greek, and the Old Testament from Hebrew and Aramaic, and the Apocrypha from Greek and Latin, All were originally translated from the Ethiopian bible. original Greek Bible was written around AD 1500. It is also known that Ancient Afrikans of Old Egypt (Kemet) studied this bible in their temple which was known as the "The Book of the Coming Forth by Day and Night". The original Bible was produced by Black Afrikans approximately 3,400 years.
Before the Old Testament and more than 4,200 years before the New Testament, and countless versions of it have been written and published. Different scholars also translated the bible to their local languages during their studies in Kemet. Famous well known Greeks (Europeans) whom we study their history and writings, studied at the feet of Ancient Egyptian (Kemet) scholars along the Nile Valley, Kemet. Philosopher Plato was a student at the Temple of Waset for 11 years.
Also, Aristotle was a student there for 11-13 years. Socrates spent at least 15 years at the same temple; likewise, Euclid studied for 10-11 years at the same temple, Pythagoras spent 22 years there. Ancient Scholars in Egypt began keeping records as far back as 4000 to 3000 BC. Hippocrates studied there for 20 years, plus a host of other little known Greeks who matriculated at Waset, among whom are Diodorus, Solon, Thales, Archimedes, and Euripides.
Greek scholar, St. Clement of Alexandria, once said that if one were to list out the names of all the Greeks who studied under Egyptian tutors, a 1,000 paged book won’t be enough. Even Herodotus mentioned it, same with Plato and Aristotle. The truth is that it took at least 40 years to graduate from Waset, meaning none of the Greek scholars mentioned above even graduated.
Till date most European languages even the Current Hebrew language can't give a direct meaning to all biblical names in the Bible on any translated version as most of the names are of African tribal derivatives.
"The reason you don't hear about the Aramaic or Syriac versions or Ethiopian is that people want the paganized versions which the Greek translated, not the Truth and anything that might contradict today's paganized English version based on the paganized Greek version"... Mini

This video shows the roof caved in— an attack signature consistent with munitions from an airstrike, like a drone attack. Another photograph we found online shows packets that look like medicine flowing out the back of the ambulance. 10/13

Truly informative! Meticulously dissecting historical context & contemporary dynamics of the #Amhara#Fano resistance. Furnished with references for further reading & clarity to misunderstood or deliberately misinterpreted historical narratives are commendable. Thanks @AfricaEAR
Sexual violence, including conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) in Ethiopia in 2023
"In Amhara, five incidents of CRSV affecting 33 victims (including a minor), in the context of the conflict between the Government forces and Fano militia, were all perpetrated by the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF)."
Non state actors/Fano's role in sexual violence against women in Amhara region is zero.
