@henokgabisa We never had this kind of cruelty before Oromos came to power, let's face the fact there is something fundamentally wrong with Oromos as a society.
At least 45 civilians were killed by Ethiopian troops in the Amhara region last month, the country's human rights watchdog says.
The Ethiopian government has not yet commented on the killings.
The US and EU are calling for an independent investigation.

Government security forces killed at least 60 civilians in an attack in Ethiopia’s northern Amhara region last month, a state-run human rights body says https://t.co/5dU2XsJxE1
By the same token:
🚨🇪🇹 "Why are the Oromuma PP authorities led by @AbiyAhmedAli dismantling the Ethiopian Orthodox Church? Because it brings together not only the territory, it brings together our souls. No one will be able to separate the soul."
Many people have asked why I didn’t choose Roman Catholicism when I left Protestantism.
Here’s the honest truth, both sides have really good arguments. There is no killshot argument on either side. Not regarding the Papacy nor the filioque.
I believe what “breaks the tie” is that even even Roman Catholics admit there are developments in their paradigm, and they grant Orthodoxy has upheld these ancient practices.
Paedocommunion, leavened bread Eucharist, Divine Liturgy, iconography rather than statues, Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, traditional Pentarchy, etc.
Even Vatican I, when argued by the best apologists, is argued as a development.
If it’s the church of Apostolic tradition you want, Orthodoxy is the clear frontrunner.
Hope this helps anyone on the fence☦️
“orthodoxy adds extra non-required traditions that only unnecessarily complicate things”
I struggled with this belief for years but in time, I couldn’t reconcile it with Church history
Turns out, the exact opposite is true—Protestant denominations have thrown out apostolic tradition, only getting more extreme with each denomination as time moves forward, repeating heresies (picking and choosing) because it has forgotten that the Church has roots in apostolic tradition
“Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.” 2 Thess 2:15
The Church gave us the Bible as part of that tradition—The Bible didn’t give us the church
That was the hardest thing for me to grok, but once I did, it was only a matter of time before the dominoes fell and I came home to the Orthodox Church.

@ArtsTvWorld@DerejeHaile23, An interview marked by orchestrated surprise, smiles, and the reemergence of a genocide enabler, responsible for the brutal murder of thousands of innocent Amhara, on Arts TV is truly shameful.
As a journalist, Dereje should have posed more insightful questions, being aware that certain factions of Oromo politics exploit those who advocate for citizen-based politics.
Dereje neglected to address Jawar's genocidal actions or the core objectives of his political party. There was no question of the demolitions of innocent Amharas & other house around Addis. No inquiry into why some people are treated as if they are fourth-level citizens in their own country. Do the Oromo politics believes in the nation, Ethiopia- or are they still saying we are a sum of nation?
It’s puzzling why ethno-nationalist like Jawar received preferential treatment from the channel.
This’s the same man who vehemently declared, "Ethiopia out of Oromo." Which Oromia was he referring to? Did the journalist delve into Oromo immigration? The channel's irresponsible actions contribute to worsening conditions for ordinary citizens.
Dereje and Arts TV could rectify this by providing equal opportunities for others to counter the statements of the known genocider, Jawar Mohammed. @TheFitawrari@HoMan99@berhanenega@olSkulEthio
A Harvard educated Oromo says to Amharas:
“If you don’t accept #Oromuma we will eat your flesh, drink your blood and burn your bones”
And yes cannibalism has been seen as he declared. #Fano is fighting to stop this gangrenous ideology.

May God have mercy on me. The hate and resentment I feel towards Protestants scare me. I find myself unable to be the same with my Protestant family and friends. I wish I had less exposure to church affairs. Behind every stone thrown at the Orthodox Church, there is a Protestant.
@Dn_estifanos The amount of discipline, dedication, and attention to detail is astonishing! Why were you guys rehearsing for Meharebe Abe tselot when you were deacons touring churches and leading prayers? Just amazing! You've set the bar high for church service!!!!
