መልካም የጥምቀት በዓል - Happy Timket (Epiphany) to those in Ethiopia celebrating this holy and spectacular festival. May the festival of baptism also "baptize" Ethiopia into an era of peace, prosperity, and national reconciliation.
Call your MP, call your Congress rep and ask: If the U.S., Canada, Britain, Germany, etc are so righteous and civilized, WHY do you let these people die?
How is it your MSM made such noise for Tigrayans in 2021-22 but Ethiopia stops being an issue in 2024? The "wrong" victims?🤨

Tragic loss of two young brothers, Hiwot Yaregal (10) and Yilkal Yaregal (12), who were killed in a drone attack in the Amhara region. Both were students at Ambata Yohannes church and were simply tending to their ccattle at "Afesa Secondary School" Their lives, full of potential, were cut short far too soon. We must raise our voices against this brutalit! #WarOnAmhara

UN has failed Ethiopia by revoking the investigation on accountability &,war crime following the war in Tigray. Now the ill informed decision has become a reason for the Ethiopia regime to continue its brutality & crime against humanity using drone strick & attack on of civilian
I can’t believe that one can say what Berhanu Juulaa says as a justification for the acts of blatant genocide they committed in Tigray and beyond.
First of all, who waged the genocidal war? The army he leads and the #AbiyAhmed regime he serves. Who invited the Eritrean army to invade Tigray? He and the #AbiyAhmed regime he serves (who, by the way, is on record saying that had it not for the Eritrean support,they wouldn’t have survived the war).
Secondly, what were the Eritrean soldiers doing when they marched the streets of Axum, Adwa, Shire, Adigrat, etc? And what was he and #AbiyAhmed doing when a hostile foreign army went on a rampage of killing raping, looting and vandalising innocent civilians? Guiding the Eritreans, showing the way, and doing the same thing in a more egregious way in the wider Tigray and beyond. (Note the high treason he is admitting to have committed in bringing in a foreign army and condoning the atrocities they committed.)
Thirdly, even for his own army (let alone a foreign force), the duty to make a distinction (of military targets from non-military ones) is a cardinal principle/rule that they should adhere to strictly whenever they are conducting operations in civilian contexts. (The fact that he says “distinction was hard” as a justification for perpetrating genocide and cognate atrocities speaks volumes about his (in)competence as a soldier. And his admission to the ‘failure to make a distinction’ is already an indication that he is guilty for all the crimes that occurred in those contexts.)
Fourthly, his attempt to suggest that the atrocities committed were merely a rare occurrence that happened in the Eritrean side of the genocidal operation, that their acts are more of an aberration—sort of a brief deviation from their standard practice of the ENDF and the Amhara forces—is as laughable as a blatant lie. In a way, he is trying to absolve himself (and #Abiy’s regime) from any accountability. The truth is that the Ethiopian military took the lead, gave directions, financed, armed and equipped all parties involved to execute a preplanned project of genocide.
It has been roundly established by numerous bodies of evidence that the ENDF, the ANRS security forces (including special forces), the militia, and Fannoo have committed some of the worst acts of brutality on their own in order to advance their genocidal project to which Eritrea was also a party to. There is no way this body of evidence can be ignored.
And there is no way Berhanu Jula (and AbiyAhmed’s regime) can come clean out of this quagmire of criminality and guilt.
