East Gojjam, Amhara, Ethiopia| July 23, 2026

Residents and local farmers in Debay Telat Gen Woreda, East Gojjam, report that artillery shelling struck civilian areas for five consecutive days, from July 18–22.

According to local accounts, shells landed in villages 20–30 km from Kuy town, including Debre Yesus, Beshme, and parts of Gozamin and Gedemala without active fighting in the area. Witnesses say the attacks hit a Saturday market, farmland, and residential neighborhoods, resulting in civilian deaths, injuries, and damage to homes.

Farmers also reported that on July 22, around 9 a.m., heavy artillery struck homes and farmland, preventing residents from safely carrying out agricultural work.

What really happened in Arsi, Ethiopia during election week? 🧵

100+ killed or wounded. Two churches burned. Thousands displaced. And when religious figures spoke out, regime forces began arresting them across the country.

Here's what's being covered up 👇

As you can see in the video, the sheikh is tearing the crosses worn by Orthodox Christian followers from their necks. We are witnessing that there is no freedom of religion in the Oromia region of Ethiopia. And please do not claim that this video is AI-generated

Dozens of Orthodox Christians Reportedly Killed in Fresh Violence in Ethiopia’s Arsi Zone

At least 37 Orthodox Christian civilians have reportedly been killed in a new wave of violence in Ethiopia’s Arsi Zone of the Oromia region, according to church sources, raising fresh concerns over security and communal tensions in the area.

The attacks allegedly occurred in Tefa Kebele of Aleko Teleta District and began on the eve of Ethiopia’s general election, according to reports received by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Church officials say several other residents remain unaccounted for, raising fears that the death toll could increase.

The violence reportedly targeted multiple communities and religious sites. Among the most significant incidents was the destruction of St. Gabriel Church, a century-old Orthodox church that was reportedly burned to the ground. A letter sent by local church authorities to the Ethiopian Orthodox Patriarchate confirmed the destruction of the church and detailed the scale of the attacks.

According to church officials, more than 280 households were displaced after armed assailants attacked villages, burned homes, and forced residents to flee. Church authorities described the events as a large-scale assault that caused extensive human and material losses.

The attacks were also reported in several neighboring localities, including Zedibu, Erecha Michael, Sunte Mariam, Bogdo Abo, Lencho Ada, Jiso, and Dire kebeles. Residents and church representatives said homes, livestock, and other property were looted or destroyed during the violence.

In a separate incident, a facility used by Holy Saviour Church for religious activities and guest accommodation in Kore Kuftele was reportedly damaged.

Church sources said the attacks continued on election day and criticized what they described as a delayed security response from local authorities. However, government officials have not publicly commented on the latest allegations.

Abune Elsae, Archbishop of the Arsi and Somali Jigjiga dioceses, confirmed that attacks had taken place and submitted a report to the Patriarchate listing victims and documenting damage caused during the violence.

The latest incident follows a series of deadly attacks reported in parts of Arsi and other areas of Oromia in recent years. Church leaders and community representatives have repeatedly raised concerns over the security situation and called for stronger measures to protect civilians and religious institutions.

In March 2026, church sources reported that more than 30 Orthodox Christians were killed in a separate attack in Arsi, while hundreds of residents were displaced.

Federal and regional authorities have previously stated that security operations have significantly weakened armed groups operating in Oromia and rejected accusations that attacks are being carried out on the basis of religion or ethnicity.

The latest reports are likely to intensify calls for an independent investigation into recurring violence in the region and renewed efforts to ensure accountability for attacks against civilians.

[እስከዳር እምሻው 🇪🇹አስካለ ማርያም @EmishawEskedar]

As Ethiopia claims "peaceful elections," Arsi remains a hotspot for the persecution of Orthodox Christians. Reports indicate deadly attacks, historic churches burned, & families displaced. Religious persecution must not be ignored, there must be accountability and justice. #EOTC

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.

3 years in prison. 0 crimes committed. Meskerem Abera is a hero of human rights. It is time the world pays attention to her arbitrary detention.
@amnesty @hrw @UNHumanRights: Stand with Meskerem.

With animalistic PP administration, Ethiopia’s social values never fail to hit rock bottom. From barbaric mutilation, faith-based attacks, sexual violence of every sort, to such display of Stone Age level embarrassment. Abiy is an utter disgrace to Ethiopia.

Two Ethiopians gunned down. The hitman looks exactly like that one who shot an Ethiopian national in Johannesburg CBD.

A father who spoke to BBC said his son, a 21-year-old deacon, was among the victims “I was told ‘he has fallen you must come.’ I came swiftly” he said explaining the circumstances by which he learned of his son’s death.

When he arrived at the church, he saw the bodies of his son and the other church workers saying “I hated my existence” as he explained that the workers were shot multiple times.

The father expressed his feelings saying, “the sky fell on me,” adding “what life do I have? ...I should go and die like my son. I have no life after this. I would like to repent for my sins and die. My son who served the church died tragically, from now on I have no wish but to die, I can’t farm and eat any longer” he said.

“They entered the church courtyard and struck them” said the father of the victim, who described the killing saying, “it was an execution.”

Concern Regarding Treatment of Ethiopian Artist Teddy Afro and Associates

Dear Secretary Marco Rubio, @SecRubio

I am writing to express serious concern about recent developments in Ethiopia involving the well-known artist Teddy Afro (Tewodros Kassahun).

According to multiple reports, there has been increasing pressure and harassment directed toward him. This situation has escalated with the arrest of individuals close to him, including his spokesperson and deputy manager, reportedly without clear charges. Most concerning is the reported forced entry into his private studio by individuals said to be in federal police uniform, where equipment and unreleased creative work were taken.

If accurate, these actions raise serious questions about respect for rule of law, due process, and the protection of freedom of expression. Targeting artists or those around them for their work or viewpoints can have a chilling effect on creativity and public discourse.

As someone who believes in the importance of human rights, artistic freedom, and democratic values, I respectfully ask that the U.S. Department of State monitor this situation closely and engage where appropriate to encourage transparency, accountability, and adherence to the rule of law.

Ethiopia has a rich cultural heritage, and voices like Teddy Afro’s play an important role in shaping dialogue and unity. It is important that such voices are protected, not suppressed.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

#Ethiopia #Eritrea #Ethiopian #Teddyafro #Ethiopianmusic
