Massacres, Rape, Siege: Why Israel Must Stop Its UAE Ally Aiding Ethiopia's Atrocities
The UAE is running a huge airlift arming an Ethiopian regime committing mass atrocities in Tigray. That inhumane adventurism is a strategic problem for Israel, too

Alert!!
According to our reliable source in Ethiopia, the lying regime in Ethiopia is preparing a make-believe story of atrocities committed in areas that were controlled by the Tigray Army in the Amhara and Afar regions. Lying is not new to the Abiy regime. Abiy has lied to the UN Secretary-General and multiple foreign officials in the past but this time his regime is trying to lie to the whole world so that Tigray Army and TPLF are tainted as killers and accused as genociders. As you all know the Abiy and Isaias regime in Eritrea have been accused of a serious crime against humanity in Tigray. It is a matter of time before they are held accountable. We[Diaspora] should do our best to expose the sinister plan and educate the international community. The international community should not be left for Abiy and his lying foot soldiers to be confused and accept the 'both sides do it" account in this tragedy. Tragedy should not be normalized.

Abiy Ahmed can't deceive Africa in the name of Pan-Africanism
Mark, 14-12-21 - We commonly hear these days the Prime Minister of Ethiopia, his supporters and propaganda machine extensively stating that they are fighting against Western countries who, they say, are supporting the people of Tigray in the Tigray conflict. Thus, demonstrations have been held condemning Western countries and international media outlets. State and social media have been carrying out an intensified propaganda, going to the extent of calling the USA terrorist.

Tigray Government statement on alleged warehouse looting in Kombolcha
TEAO 12-10-21 -Over the past two days, there have been some media reports, citing a brief statement by the World Food Program in Ethiopia (WFP Ethiopia), that Tigray forces have looted food stock that had been stored in the city of Kombolcha. While this baseless claim has received undeserved coverage, the truth of the matter is that at no time during their stay in Kombolcha did Tigrayan forces ever loot aid meant for those in desperate need of emergency assistance.



Photos show weapons stockpiled after Ethiopian Civil War in 1991, not a recent seizure in Debre Sina
Images of a weapons stockpile have been shared on Facebook in Ethiopia alongside a claim that the arms cache was recently seized in Debre Sina, Ethiopia. But the claim is false: these are old photos of a rebel from the former Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) sitting next to a pile of weapons in Addis Ababa in 1991 following the Ethiopian Civil War that ended in the same year.
The Abiy and Amhara Elite lying machine has no bounds. Innocent people who were paraded as prisoners of war may not speak out of fear but pictures do! Tigray Army withdrew Debresina of its own will. No matter how Abiy spins the current withdrawal, the truth is the withdrawal was not because of 'General' Abiy's military capability. If we have to give Abiy the credit it is that he was smart enough to fly in to places Tigray Army left without wasting precious time. He did not give time for the Tigray Army to announce the completion of the withdrawal. Zi Westelu Arada Eyu!!



Is Ethiopia the new Syria?
Michael Rubin December 08, 2021 07:00 AM - Today, Ethiopia is rapidly becoming the new Syria. In November 2020, Tigrayan leadership rejected Ethiopian Premier Abiy Ahmed's order to postpone elections. They feared that he sought to follow the path of self-described reformers who consolidate dictatorship. Abiy reacted with fury, sought to decapitate the Tigrayan military leadership, and then dispatched the Ethiopian army to Mekelle, the capital of the Tigray state. While Ethiopian officials insisted Abiy's battle was just with the Tigray People's Liberation Front, the army not only denied food to the entire Tigray Region but also closed Tigrayan businesses in Addis Ababa and rounded up ethnic Tigrayans in internment camps. To be a Tigrayan in Abiy's Ethiopia is to be a dead man walking.

Tigray Government Message to Diaspora - Dec 9th, 2021
TEAO 12-09-21 -Tigray Government Message to Diaspora on the Occasion of the Dec 9th World Wide Demonstration Denouncing Genocide in Tigray

Joint Statement on Detentions in Ethiopia
We, Australia, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States, are profoundly concerned by recent reports of the Ethiopian government's detention of large numbers of Ethiopian citizens on the basis of their ethnicity and without charge. The Ethiopian government's announcement of a State of Emergency on November 2 is no justification for the mass detention of individuals from certain ethnic groups (Tigrayans).

Open Letter to Amb. Jeffrey D. Feltman : Why Interviewing with a Genocidal Media Outlet?
Isaac M. 12.06.21 - Dear Amb. Feltman, I watched your interview of 1st December with ESAT with bewilderment and dismay. I respect your right to express your views using any media outlet you think is fit for your purposes. I also appreciate your endeavor to reach out to the noises of the government in the diaspora and inside Ethiopia. However, from a top diplomat and statesman of a democratic country like the United States, I would expect some ethical standards, sense of duty and respect for victims of heinous international crimes to dictate your conscience and deeds.

Tigray External Affairs Office: Weekly Briefing Dec 03, 2021
TEAO 12-06-21 -For over 5 weeks since October 18, humanitarian cargo movements had come to a grinding halt. On November 26, and 27, a total of 78 trucks arrived in Tigray. While the arrival of any number of trucks is a welcome development, the 78 trucks that arrived pale in comparison to the number of trucks needed to meet the needs of millions of people at risk of starvation. In fact, aid agencies had revised the number of required trucks per day to 282 from a previous estimate of 100...

Peace Is Still Possible in Ethiopia
By Senator Chris Coons December 6, 2021 - If Abiy and his opponents continue on their current path, they risk triggering not only massive bloodshed and economic collapse but the fracture of the Ethiopian state as we know it. Ethiopia is at risk of becoming this generation's Yugoslavia: a great nation and a regional leader that violently shatters along ethnic lines.
