A widespread and horrific attack targeting Orthodox Christians and churches is happening in the Oromia region, East Arsi zone, Aseko woreda since May 31, 2026.

Local residents have informed me by phone that so far 49 people have lost their lives, and they fear that more than 280 people whose whereabouts are unknown and who cannot be reached by phone may have also been killed.

The residents stated that OLA (Shene) militants carried out the attack and mentioned these armed groups had previously attacked an area called 'Teleta Gabriel' more than seven times.

What makes the current situation different is, they said, is that militants from Merti woreda, Fentale, Kereyu, and the Itu area all gathered together, numbering approximately three thousand. Crying and screaming in panic, residents report that these militants came to the Aseko woreda and completely burned down Biyo kebele, Teleta Gabriel, Kufte, Medhane Alem, and the surrounding areas.

Residents say the attacks have now spread to Irecha Michael, Sunte Maryam, Lencha Oda, Kwas Dire, Arba Kela, Weranbus, and various other places. They stated that, so far, not a single government force has entered the area, and the militants have laid siege to the surroundings, preventing anyone from escaping while carrying out a massacre.

This area is Addis Ababa Mayor Adanech Abebie's birthplace; perhaps she even knows some of the deceased, or studied or worked alongside them. Let's assume that unlike what we see in the rest of the world, that is going to the scene immediately to calm and comfort the public was impossible due to the ongoing attacks. But when such a horrific attack is committed in her birthplace, why did she fail to simply say 'rest in peace' and condemn the act?

What about other officials and security forces? Why have the country's defense forces, police, militia, air force, and other forces been unable to prevent an attack that has been going on not just for hours, but for days up to this very moment?

The situation in this country is sometimes exhausting. When the people cry out for rescue, these days they plead to the media rather than the government. Yet, when the media delivers this information to the public, it is the media itself that ends up being insulted and persecuted by both the public and the government.

Anyway, writing this gives me a bit of relief. However, the condition of the citizens I spoke to... the crying, panicking, and screaming... is a tragic reality that will never be erased from my mind.

May their souls rest in peace!

Partners, international org’s & the media should be aware of the expressions such as "Tigray Administration" or "Regional #GovernmentofTigray" are unacceptable because there is no entity in the #Tigrayregion that is elected in accordance with the constitution.#TPLFTerroristGroup.

[Ambassador Teferi Melesse Desta 🇪🇹🇬🇧 @EthioAmbUK]

Any attempt to state the peace talks is b/n the Federal gov’t & the "Region of Tigray" is not only unacceptable but also violates national sovereignty & the international order. Partners should remember that: one is a democratically elected government & the TPLF an armed group.

Thread: #TPLFTerroristGroup is Forcing Humanitarian and Aid workers in the region to participate in the war against ENDF.

TPLF is planning to use the aid workers as a cover for its planned propaganda of accusation of the GoE targeting humanitarian facilities

#TPLF is forcefully recruiting child soldiers defying Int'l Law. @EUParliament has failed to consider these facts objectively.

[Elias Delash @delash_elias]

According to the TPLF, invading the Amhara and Afar regions is justifiable to safeguard Tigray. As per this logic, they shouldn’t be surprised if Tigray is invaded by non-Tigrayan forces. #DisarmTPLF #TPLFisTheCause @HouseForeign @hr @JosepBorrellF
