@FloBridge2@MyWayIsBack@NickDiFabio1 Oh yes. Portuguese Catholic mission soldiers and priests did massacre Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church(EOTC) priests and followers cuz they did not want to be converted. In general, Catholic did enormous damage to EOTC during King Susunyos and Rome's 2nd invasion.
@MyWayIsBack@NickDiFabio1 Portuguese helped us during the first war with Ottoman Turk. However, during the second war, Portuguese put a condition to Eth to be converted to Catholic if Eth needed help. The king converted but not the population. 100 thousands were martyred.
We must never stop being a voice for them because we don’t know the horrors they are facing. Every kidnapped student deserves to be heard, fought for and brought home. Silence is not an option.

Franklin Graham has gone to Ethiopia on a “revival mission” to “Preach the Gospel” after the Prosperity Party Government of Ethiopia has spent the last 5 years attacking, dismantling and trying to destroy the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and its 2000 year old history and legacy and the Amhara people. Within the past few days Ethiopian Government forces have killed a blind Orthodox Priest in the Amhara region and committed a major massacre of Amhara citizens as part of its ongoing war of extermination of ethnic Amharas and the minimization of the Orthodox Church. Will Mister Graham address the years of slaughter and genocide or will he seek to spread a Gospel that lacks accountability, compassion, unmitigated justice and healing for all people. A “Christian” message that does not include justice, mercy, compassion, healing and restoration for all people is purely a false Gospel and of the Anti-Christ.
A white man comes to Ethiopia to preach the gospel. He preaches to one of the earliest countries in the world to become Christian, where Christianity has flourished for over 1700 years. The world’s oldest gospel – written in our ancient language of Ge’ez – resides here.
This is epistemicide in action: a deliberate attempt to deracinate indigenous knowledges and beliefs.
People like this preacher seek to replace our ancient, uniquely African Tewahado Christianity with American Christianity. He calls his mission a “Crusade.”
The Ethiopian Government assists him, failing to support or fund our indigenous education system that ranges from religious interpretation to highly complex philosophy.
This is not spreading the word of God. This is colonialism.
🚨 *Urgent Call for Action: Hunger Crisis in Amhara Region, Ethiopia* 🚨
The people of *Lasta Bugna*, located in the *Amhara region of Ethiopia*, are facing a severe *hunger crisis*, with many already dying from starvation. Despite the worsening situation, the Ethiopian government has largely ignored the suffering of its people. The international community must step in before it is too late.
The *#AmharaHungerCrisis* must not be overlooked. *Urgent humanitarian assistance* is needed immediately, including food aid, medical care, and support for those affected.
We call on the *United Nations, World Food Programme*, and other humanitarian organizations to urgently address the crisis and provide life-saving aid.
📢 *What YOU can do:*
1. *Share this message* to spread awareness.
2. *Tag humanitarian organizations*: @WFP@UN@ICRC@Amnesty@HRW.
3. *Contact international organizations* to demand action.
4. *Use the hashtag #AmharaHungerCrisis* to amplify the voice of the people in need.
Time is running out. We cannot allow these lives to be lost in silence.
#EthiopiaWatch🇪🇹: Ethiopia’s human rights commission is investigating the murders of at least 48 people in the Oromia region by armed rebels from the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA).
PM ABIY AHMED'S ETHIOPA = MASTERCLASS IN DEVASTATION & DESTRUCTION.

Justice is yet to prevail for almost 1600 Amhara people who were savagely executed on Nov 9th and Nov 10th 2020 by the Samri Militia under the TPLF. While evidence of the killings is astounding with names and registers of each victim documented, and their identities verified by local authorities and hundreds of recorded testimony by survivors of the atrocities, the global media not only kept silent but to add salt to the wound, their pain, and loss and trauma was misreported as an attack against Tigrayan victims by Amnesty, HRW, mainstream media outlets and various advocacy groups.
So 4 years later, still in the war torn Northern region of Ethiopia, the people of Maikadra still remain in perilous conditions, with much uncertainty about their future under the Abiy Regime, and the threat of falling under the control of the same party that attempted to wipe them out. I cannot imagine living in the conditions they are forced to endure, with the majority of survivors being women and children, with no means and in constant need of aid. There has been no significant effort for rehabilitation outside of a few NGOs who have infrequently provided medical assistance and food supplies. But even these minimal provisions were reduced and at times completely removed due to the ongoing war between the federal government and the resistance in the Amhara region.
So we continue to advocate for their safety, proper care, real rehabilitation, genuine support and of course Justice. Justice for the victims and survivors, accountability from the perpetrators and all the collaborators that participated in one of the worst massacres of civilians ever recorded in the history of Ethiopia. An attack of 1400 Israelis on Oct 7th 2023, caused global outrage, a horrific reprisal that created a 21st century crisis that is still the most talked about, debated and relevant issues around the world today. But the devastation of these other victims with even more casualties is not on any one’s radar. There was no global shock response, no follow up or documentation from international media, no real interest to investigate and report on the tragedy that is still a huge scar in the lives of those immediately affected, the conscience of the Amhara people and Ethiopians at large.
Genocide is a taboo word that causes so much controversy and political division, questions and antagonism. It’s uncomfortable and the tendency from many international human rights agencies and governments is still avoidance. Thousands of Amharas have been killed through similar attacks in Wollega, and many more as victims of the war on Amhara, so the pain hasn’t stopped. It barely makes the news. The message the mainstream media and many ICs are clearly giving to the advocates for justice and the protection of these people is that it’s just not relevant or newsworthy. So it’s upon everyone who is knowledgeable of this horrible time in history to continue advocating and reporting on the incidents that transpired on Nov 9th and 10th in Maikadra.
We honor the victims and their families as we have done the past 4 years, we pray for peace to prevail and sanity to be restored for the Amhara people, for all of Ethiopia and all those suffering around the world.

Abiy Ahmed's genocidal massacre against the Amhara people has reached a whole new level. In a horrifying drone strike on a health center in Zibist, Achefere, Gojjam, over 50 innocent Amharas were brutally massacred, including five mothers in labor, along with their family members, companions, and the nurse who was assisting them.
The genocidal massacre extended its cruelty to more than thirteen children playing near a school within a 300-meter radius, fathers gathered for social activities, laborers, people around a church, and individuals working in nearby farmlands.
Where is the journalism from major networks like @CNN, @AJEnglish, @ABC, @guardian, and others? Do the lives of innocent Amharas not matter? Are their stories not worthy of the world’s attention?

En raison du manque d’attention de la communauté Int, de volonté politicien
et de couverture média,les crimes contre l’humanité les plus horribles parrainés par l’État en #Éthiopie.Les attaques aveugles du régim d’Abiy contre des civils #Amharas sont un crime de guerre.@UNGeneva
.@BBCAfrica is complicit in covering up the #AmharaGenocide. Today, they ran several headlines you see below, yet relegated news of a drone strike that killed over 50 civilians, including pregnant women and children, in the Amhara region to their Amharic-language news, limiting its international exposure.
