The Ethiopian Case:
–Exodus of civilians unseen/unheard since the 2nd World War, a stealth and unique forced deportation of Ethiopian citizens is taking place in Saudi Arabia. Unprecedented 150,000 Ethiopians have already been repatriated in one month. 100,000 more expected in the coming days and weeks. A historic event ignored by the hypocritical lamestream media
–This repatriation is accompined by unparalleled barbarism and brutality
–The Saudis maltreated, raped, brutally hanged and murdered innocent Ethiopians.
–Many still languish in Saudi prisons – and the whereabouts of thousands of Ethiopians still unknown
Ethiopian reaction:
Anger, outrage, worldwide protests in front of Saudi embassies. Solidarity with the victims, prayers for the thousands who’re still imprisoned. No burning of portraits of the evil Saudi king, nor attacks on Saudi embassies and properties. Ethiopians are too gentle and patient!
Saudi reaction:
How did the Saudis react to their own cruel acts? With their usual tactics: by lying, denying, blaming and accusing poor Ethiopians. Who’s a liar, denier and accuser? Who blames its victims? Yes, it’s Satan! This blaming and accusing spirit of the Saudis is an anti-Christ spirit, because it approaches children of God with no love, but a tone of hatred and condemnation. This spirit uses the letter of the law to lay heavy burdens and crush it’s victims, it works hand in hand with the family of demonic spirits and strongholds, including legalism.
