To the African Union:

You brokered the peace.

But peace without accountability is not peace — it is silence imposed on victims.

Where is the justice mechanism for Tigray?

Don’t wait for another:

War
→ mass displacement
→ destroyed infrastructure
→ emergency appeal
→ donor conference
→ reconstruction.

There is a cheaper, more humane intervention:

PREVENT THE WAR.

UTNA Condemns Drone Attacks in #Tigray, Calls for International Intervention
----
September, 2026 (Tigray Mass Media Agency) — Union of Tigrayans in North America (UTNA), US based civic organization representing the Tigrayan diaspora, has condemned what it described as the genocidal behavior of Abiy Ahmed’s government, citing continued drone attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure across Tigray.

In a September 12 letter addressed to the UN Secretary-General, U.S. Secretary of State, EU foreign-policy chief and the EU Special Representative for the Horn of Africa, UTNA said a drone strike on a school in Korem, Southern Tigray, on September 12 caused significant property damage.

The organization also cited reported drone strikes in Myshumet in Southeastern Tigray on September 8 that killed more than 10 civilians, including a child and three members of the same family. It further reported six consecutive strikes on civilian residences in Alaje District, Adi Gurae, on September 10, causing deaths, injuries and property destruction. UTNA said the attacks are affecting families, farmers, shoppers and children, while damaging schools, hospitals, homes and other civilian infrastructure.

The organization urged the international community to publicly condemn the attacks, use diplomatic channels to demand an immediate and verifiable cessation of aerial bombardments, support independent investigations into civilian casualties and facilitate unhindered humanitarian and medical assistance to affected communities.

UTNA warned that continued drone attacks could further deepen the humanitarian crisis and instability in the region.

The UAE has built its closest partnership in the Horn of Africa with Ethiopia. It is a partnership that armed Ethiopia during the genocidal war on Tigray. It now runs straight through the war in Sudan.

From Tigray to Darfur, the same two governments are implicated in genocide.

🚨 “The recurring injustice and oppression witnessed in the land of Arsi has created in all of our hearts a painful and sorrowful question: ‘Until when?’” — His Holiness Abune Mathias

@MeseretMedia
June 3, 2026

The Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, His Holiness Abune Mathias, has issued an official statement regarding what he described as horrific and shocking attacks carried out against believers and churches in various districts of the Arsi Diocese.

In his statement, the Patriarch expressed deep sorrow, saying:

“We received with a broken heart the news of the horrific attacks committed against our spiritual children and against the Holy Church in the districts of Aseko, Shirka, Mugito, Bele, and Mendida within the Arsi Diocese.”

He emphasized that the attacks constitute a grave injustice in a country historically known for coexistence and mutual respect. Referring specifically to the destruction of religious institutions and historical heritage, he stated:

“On this tragic day, when freedom of religion was violated and the century-old Telata Saint Gabriel Church was burned down, and when Kore Kidane Mihret and Medhane Alem Churches were looted, many believers were brutally massacred and hundreds of our people were displaced from their homes. This has been an event of profound sorrow for our Church.”

The Patriarch further described the scale of the tragedy, stating:

“At a time when the Church, a repository of peace, love, and history, seeks to comfort believers in difficult circumstances, it now finds itself undergoing its own trial. Beyond its grief, the repeated injustice and oppression witnessed in the land of Arsi has created in all of our hearts a painful and sorrowful question: ‘Until when?’”

Addressing the government and security institutions directly, the Patriarch warned:

“As this suffering continues to expand rather than come to an end, we remind the security institutions and officials entrusted with protecting citizens and maintaining peace that history will judge you above all by the price you are willing to pay to safeguard the security of citizens during your time in office. We strongly urge you, in the name of our Church, to stop this chain of violence and bring the perpetrators to justice so that you may not remain indebted before history.”

Finally, he issued a pastoral appeal:

“We call upon believers in every area and all Ethiopians to support one another in a spirit of brotherhood, assist those who have been displaced, and stand beside our Church through prayer.”

The Church’s emergency statement comes amid widespread reporting by Meseret Media and other media outlets regarding ongoing attacks against Christians in Arsi Zone.

According to a series of recent Meseret Media reports, armed groups have repeatedly carried out organized attacks targeting Orthodox Christians in Shirka, Merti, and other districts of Arsi.

Reports citing eyewitnesses state that believers were targeted and killed while conducting business in marketplaces, traveling on roads, staying in their homes with their families, and even while participating in religious worship inside churches.

Despite the seriousness of the attacks, no information has yet been presented to the public by state media, and government officials have not issued any public statement regarding the incidents.

Another Round of Massacre in Arsi
(OLF-OLA Press Release)

Over the past several years, in Arsi—including the Asakoo area—Abiy Ahmed's forces and his network of cadres have systematically fomented division among the people. They have set Oromos against Amharas, Muslims against Christians. And within the Oromo people themselves, they have sought to turn Christian Tulama Oromo against their Muslim Oromo brothers. To effectuate division, weapons have been placed in the hands of one group over another. The Prosperity Party openly pretends as though it belongs to one community at the expense of all others. This machinery of distrust has churned for years.

Then came June 31, 2026. As OLA forces mobilized across Oromia to enforce a blockade against the sham election, Abiy Ahmed's cadres seized the opportunity. Capitalizing on years of engineered ethnic and religious incitement, regime operatives in the region actively ignited and abetted communal violence. It was in the bloodshed that followed that civilian lives were lost. It’s the typical signature Abiy Ahmed move.

Today, the mere fact that opposition forces across the country have rejected horizontal quarrels, even without any united action against Abiy Ahmed's reign of terror, the regime finds itself running out of reasons to divide people. The Oromia state administration—already caught red-handed by international media, directly ordering the killing of Oromo Gada elders and blaming it on the OLA—now claims that "the forces deployed to challenge our election targeted the church," as if churches were ever sites of electoral fraud.

From the very beginning, Abiy Ahmed had two goals when he derailed the peace process with the OLA in 2018. First, to use the idea of “OLA in the bush” as a scapegoat to crush any political opposition in Oromia. He has said openly: "The TPLF ruled for 27 years by totally controlling political life in Tigray. We will do the same in Oromia." The second aim was to wield the OLA as a phantom enemy against the Amhara. Behind closed doors, he has admitted: "If the Amhara do not kneel, I will attack them and show them whether they prefer the OLA as an alternative to me."

We have many political differences with the Amhara and other forces. That is healthy and natural, and differences will continue. But for far too long, we have allowed Abiy Ahmed to kill Amharas and blame Oromos; to kill Oromos and blame Amharas—while we gobbled divisive narratives. That era is over. Going forward, it will not succeed. Whatever political differences, we all have shared agreement on the sanctity of human life.

13 Orthodox Christians Massacred, Historic Church Burned in East Arsi Attacks

ETHIOPIA ― 💥Thirteen Orthodox Christian worshippers have been killed and a century-old church destroyed in a series of attacks in Ethiopia’s East Arsi Zone, according to church officials and local sources.

The incidents took place over two days beginning Sunday 31 May, around the country’s parliamentary election period.

According to local sources, the violence struck communities in Sirie and Asseko woredas, both in the #Oromia region.

Witness accounts and church statements say two people were killed in the Chitu area of Sirie Woreda, while 11 others were killed in Asseko Woreda.

The 101-year-old Tsellota Gabriel Church was also set on fire and completely destroyed.

Abune Elsa, Archbishop of the Arsi and Jijiga Diocese, said in a statement that killings also occurred in Shirka and Enqolo Wabe districts. He added that more than 280 Orthodox Christians were displaced in the attacks.

Documented reports indicate that more than two hundred Orthodox Christians, mostly Amhara, have been killed in the last two years in the East Arsi Zone alone.

Local authorities have not publicly confirmed about the incident.

Human rights groups and government critics have accused the administration of PM Abiy Ahmed of repeatedly denying or downplaying reports of extrajudicial killings of civilians.

[ⓉⓃ @tesfanews]

ETHIOPIA - 💥Orthodox Christian leaders have issued an urgent and grave warning to PM Abiy Ahmed, demanding an immediate end to what they describe as a systematic campaign of attacks and killings targeting Orthodox Christian worshippers across #Ethiopia, with Oromia region bearing the bloodiest toll.

The leaders warned that continued inaction by the government could lead to significant consequences, including the possibility of large-scale nationwide demonstrations.

The call reflects rising tensions between church leaders and the government over security concerns and allegations of religiously motivated violence.
