🚨 Death toll from @AbiyAhmedAli regime drone strike surpasses 30 as wounded Amhara IDPs die without medical care; video shows mother who lost both legs in attack
On November 7th, 2026, the Ethiopian Air Force carried out successive drone and helicopter strikes against displaced Amhara civilians sheltering in Wodesadima Kebele, Gida Kiremu Woreda, East Wollega Zone, Oromia Region. More than 30 civilians were killed, including children and elderly people, while numerous others sustained critical injuries.
A video from the area shows an Amhara mother who lost both legs in the attack. The strikes began at approximately 4:30 PM and continued in successive waves, with additional attacks reportedly targeting civilians attempting to retrieve the dead and rescue those wounded in the initial bombardment.
The victims had been displaced from Ali, Andode Dicho, Fedeqa, Meleketa and other communities across Gida Ayana and Gida Kiremu woredas following earlier attacks by Oromia region security forces. They had sought refuge in Wodesadima after a period of relative calm, despite severe shortages of food, shelter and medical assistance.
The death toll has surpassed 30 as critically wounded survivors continue to die from severe blood loss without access to medical treatment. Healthcare facilities in the surrounding area have been destroyed by Oromia region Gadaa Commando, while roads leading to Anger Gutin, Nekemte, Gida and Kiremu remain blocked. Medical personnel have also been prevented from treating the wounded, while several civilians who fled the bombardment remain missing.
The attack follows an October 29th drone strike on displaced Amhara civilians at Turku Camp near Hayk Town, South Wollo Zone, Amhara Region, which killed approximately 25 civilians and critically injured more than 40 others.
Nekemte Airport in Guto Gida Woreda has also been identified as an operational base for Ethiopian military drones, helicopters and fighter jets conducting airstrikes across East Wollega Zone.
🚨 An @AbiyAhmedAli regime drone strike has killed at least 29 Amhara IDPs, including children, mothers and elderly people, in Kiremu Woreda, East Wollega Zone, Oromia Region
On November 6th, 2026, at approximately 4:30 PM, successive drone strikes by the Abiy regime targeted internally displaced Amhara civilians in Wedesadma, near Kiremu Woreda, East Wollega Zone, Oromia Region, killing at least 29 civilians and leaving numerous others critically injured.
The victims included children, mothers and elderly people who had fled attacks in Ali, Andode, Fedeqa and Meleketa Semi. Already suffering from severe hunger, illness and displacement, the civilians were struck at the location where they had sought refuge.
🚨 Tigray Peace Forces detain 24 Amhara civilians in Timuga, Raya Alamata Woreda, amid crackdown on residents demanding recognition of their Amhara identity
On November 6th, 2026, Tigray Peace Forces carried out a mass arrest operation in Timuga Town, Raya Alamata Woreda, Amhara Region, detaining approximately 24 residents for allegedly organizing demonstrations demanding recognition of their Amhara identity.
According to local sources, the detainees were rounded up and confined inside the town’s municipal administration building. The operation targeted residents associated with the Raya Wollo Amhara Identity Restoration Committee and individuals involved in demonstrations declaring “We are Amhara.” Tigray Peace Forces have also been linked to arrests and disappearances of identity-rights activists in cooperation with the Federal Police.
The latest arrests follow an earlier incident in which three civilians were killed when Tigray Peace forces opened fire during disputes over the return of displaced residents. A command post has also been established to coordinate further detention operations, with similar roundups reportedly being prepared in Alamata, Korem, Waja and Bala.
The following 15 individuals were identified among those detained in Timuga:
1. Gobezé Degfew
2. Nigus Ayalew
3. Getachew Nigus
4. Tigabu Hantiya
5. Kelemu Zinabu
6. Habte Chekole
7. Moges Birhanu
8. Mikiel Shame
9. Nigus Beyene
10. Abera Yigzaw
11. Ermias Addisu
12. Kassa Mirete
13. Sisay Getahun
14. Fentaw Abriha
15. Dessie Mamo
🚨 Mass protests erupt in Raya Alamata demanding withdrawal of Tigray Peace Forces as security forces open fire on demonstrators
On October 23rd, large-scale public protests erupted in Raya Alamata Town, Amhara Region, as residents took to the streets to oppose administrative and election-related activities being carried out in the area. The demonstrations were driven by opposition to the establishment of a local administration and demands for the withdrawal of Tigray Peace Forces.
Young people and local residents gathered in public areas, chanting slogans including “We are Amhara,” “We will not be ruled by force,” and “Tigray Peace Forces must leave the area.” The demonstrators expressed their opposition to being governed by authorities they reject.
Security forces stationed in the town reportedly opened fire in an attempt to disperse the demonstrators, forcing the protests to break up. The extent of any casualties or injuries remains unknown.

Moyale Under Siege: History Revisited, Somali Civilians Under Attack
Sultan Mohamed Hassan Gababa's testimony about 16 days of sustained attacks against Somali communities in Moyale is deeply alarming. The reported involvement of Oromia's Gada Commando, which critics have called the Janjaweed of Ethiopia, raises grave questions about the responsibility of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and the federal security apparatus. This conflict must also be understood against Ethiopia's long history of territorial contestation.
In the sixteenth century, the Christian highland kingdom and the Muslim lowland powers, including Somali and Afar communities, confronted profound upheavals associated with Oromo tribes invasions. Today, allegations of territorial aggression, ethnic persecution, and federal complicity demand independent investigation. The suffering of Amhara, Tigrayan, and Somali civilians cannot be reduced to competing ethnic narratives. The international community must investigate the reported attacks in Moyale, protect displaced civilians, and establish responsibility throughout the regional and federal chains of command. Ethiopia cannot survive another cycle of ethnic warfare and collective punishment.

A Version of #Antisemitism in Ethiopia: The Targeting of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and Its Ancient Semitic Heritage
The continued massacre of Ethiopian Orthodox Christians is a moral catastrophe and a warning of something profoundly structural in Ethiopia's political crisis. At least 94 Orthodox Christians have reportedly been murdered in Oromia in less than three weeks, while the ancient Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, guardian of the Garima Gospels and a religious tradition that preserves the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees, faces grave threats to its communities and heritage. I regard the systematic marginalization of Ethiopia's historic Orthodox institutions, particularly those associated with the Amhara and Tigrayan peoples, as an assault upon the country's ancient Semitic religious and cultural civilization.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government bears an urgent responsibility to protect these communities, investigate the massacres, and address allegations that its political project is dismantling their historical institutions. His government's close relationship with the United Arab Emirates, amid mounting scrutiny of regional involvement in Sudan's destruction, makes the wider crisis of governance and accountability even more disturbing. Antisemitism has a specific historical meaning, but the persecution of communities associated with Ethiopia's ancient Semitic heritage raises a broader question about the destruction of civilizations through ethnic and religious hatred. How many more Orthodox Christians must be slaughtered before the international community recognizes the gravity of this continuing carnage?

ETHIOPIAN ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS UNDER ATTACK
At least 94 Ethiopian Orthodox Christians have been killed in three attacks in less than three weeks in Ethiopia’s Oromia region.
The attacks occurred in Merti and Shirka districts on October 20 and 24, killing at least 60, followed by another 34 deaths in Endato village, Robe district.
The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission attributed the earlier attacks to the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), an armed Oromo nationalist movement. The OLA has denied targeting civilians.
While the conflict is rooted in ethnic and political struggles, growing violence against Orthodox Christian communities raises serious concerns about religiously targeted persecution.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Church, representing more than 30 million followers, is calling for urgent protection of its worshippers.
At least 94 lives lost. Christian communities remain at risk. The world must not look away.

This is 2026. There are other highly capable candidates. In my view, the UAE establishment has the bloodiest hands of any government represented in this contest. Yemen, Sudan and Ethiopia are Exhibit A. @Lana_Nusseibeh’s response, “There’s nobody who doesn’t come from somewhere,” is an insult to the conscience of the international community. The concern is her record of representing an authoritarian, secretive and destructive establishment. The world should reject her candidacy. Women’s leadership must come with moral clarity and accountability.

It's true, as @Lana_Nusseibeh says, that "There's nobody who doesn't come from somewhere." But it's still not obvious to me why the next UN Secretary-General should be from the UAE cabal that turned first Yemen and then Sudan into the world's worst humanitarian crises. Hello?

Replying to @EROSanFrancisco
Subject: How Does the United States Tolerate a Self-Confessed Ethiopian Thug Who Looted Millions from Starving Children and Milked Medicaid and Medicare in Madison, Alabama?
To Whom It May Concern:
I am submitting an urgent request for federal investigation into Mr. #Habtamu_Gurmu_Chala (@Habtishgreat), reportedly residing in Madison, Alabama, and associated with True Care Inc. My concerns involve immigration compliance, child protection, alleged financial misconduct, and documented online harassment. The allegations require independent verification.
1. Immigration, alleged criminal conduct, and possible foreign government connections. An Amharic audio recording contains statements in which Mr. Chala appears to acknowledge criminal conduct involving Wegagen Bank in Ethiopia and refers to fifteen million. I am attaching the recording and its English translation. I am also attaching two photographs reportedly taken during his recent visit to a federal police office in Addis Ababa. I request that the appropriate federal authorities examine these materials and determine whether they raise legitimate immigration, criminal, or foreign government affiliation concerns. The photographs alone do not establish that he works as an informant.
2. Child protection and federal healthcare programs. I request that the appropriate authorities assess any credible safeguarding concerns involving his minor daughter, particularly in light of his reported statements concerning female genital mutilation and his recent travel to Ethiopia. I also request verification of his reported association with True Care Inc. and an examination of any substantiated concerns regarding Medicare or Medicaid billing. I have not independently established that he committed healthcare fraud or that his daughter was subjected to female genital mutilation.
3. Online harassment and public safety. Mr. Chala has been repeatedly accused of harassing Ethiopian diaspora members, particularly women, through social media. I understand that some affected individuals have pursued legal remedies. I encourage anyone possessing firsthand evidence of threats, harassment, or other unlawful conduct to submit it directly to the appropriate law enforcement authorities. Such reports should be evaluated individually and on their evidence.
Attachments: Audio/video recording; Amharic transcription and English translation; two photographs reportedly taken at a federal police office in Addis Ababa.
I respectfully request that the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, USCIS, appropriate child protection authorities, and relevant Alabama regulatory agencies review these concerns within their respective jurisdictions. Any substantiated wrongdoing should be investigated and addressed in accordance with United States law.
