💭 A Fourteen-year-old Girl killed, at least 18 people injured in rare bombardment after two months of relative peace.
Eritrean forces shelled a town in north Ethiopia over the weekend, according to internal U.N. documents and regional forces, in a rare bombardment after two months of relative peace in the Tigray conflict.
Bulletins from the United Nations seen by Reuters cited information from humanitarian organizations in Shiraro saying at least 23 rounds were fired, some hitting a school housing displaced families.
A 14-year-old girl was killed, at least 18 people were injured and 12 houses were damaged, one of the documents said.
Late on Monday, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), the party that controls most of Tigray region, accused Eritrean forces of attacking its troops on Saturday and Sunday in Shiraro, about seven miles from the Eritrea-Ethiopia border.
“As part of their desperate attempt to escalate the tension and drag us into more action, they shelled Sheraro on the 28th and 29th of May,” TPLF spokesperson Getachew Reda tweeted.
Eritrean information minister Yemane Gebremeskel did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and Reuters was unable to independently verify those numbers or the attack.
Ethiopia’s military spokesman Colonel Getnet Adane and government spokesman Legesse Tulu did not return messages seeking comment.
Eritrea has supported Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s federal forces in its war since late 2020 with the TPLF.
The TPLF said its forces had killed four Eritrean commanders and more than 300 Eritrean soldiers in the weekend flare-up.
Eritrean Information Minister Yemane Gebremeskel did not immediately respond to requests for comment, and Reuters was unable to independently verify those numbers or the attack.
Tigray’s communication network has been down for a year.
Ethiopian Medical Journal recently published a shocking analysis from Dr. Calum Miller pointing out that the legalizing of abortion in Ethiopia in 2005 did not result in a decrease, but rather an increase of maternal morbidity and mortality
Miller conducts extensive research in three African nations, with Ethiopia selected as a case study.
In a letter to the Ethiopian medical journal, Miller wrote, “Rather than being a silver bullet to reduce deaths from abortion, abortion legalization has resulted in a vast increase in the number of abortions, without any appreciable decrease in abortion mortality or maternal mortality. There is some evidence mortality, and certainly, morbidity, have even increased since legalization.
“Ethiopia’s progress in reducing maternal deaths has been considerably less than expected, especially with respect to abortion,” Miller continued.
“It is possible that, as in other countries, a disproportionate focus on family planning based on inflated claims of abortion mortality has diverted resources from emergency obstetric care and thereby failed to reduce maternal mortality more significantly.”
The Ethiopian Penal Law on Abortion, Art. 528, Section II, stipulates punishment for those who endanger the life of the unborn. However, revisions were undertaken in 20005 by the Ethiopian Ministry of Health to conform Ethiopia’s abortion legislation to the fifth Millennium Development Goals (MDG 5) of the World Health Organisation (WHO). This was out of step with dominant conservative public sentiment as well as the explicit anti-abortion position of the highly influential Orthodox Church in Ethiopia.
Cited in an essay published by St. Paul Hospital Millennium College in Addis Ababa, posted on 17 Jan 2022, a group of 12 leading Orthodox Christian and Muslims stated their support for the defense of the right to life. The Christians declared:
Man (person) is created in the image and likeness of God. Human life begins from conception biologically and spiritually. No one has the authority to take the life of an innocent (God’s creature). Killing God`s gift that is innocent is morally unacceptable. Therefore, abortion is wrong and condemned because it is a grave sin.
“The Orthodox Christian faith leaders follow a closed door policy on the matter of induced abortion,” wrote the essay’s author, Demelash Bezabih Ewnetu.

😈 THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE & Colored Flags of Islamic Countries & Oromos of Ethiopia
🐎 THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCALYPSE (Revelation Chapter 6)
☠ White – Mohammed
😡 Red – Abu Bakar
🌚 Black – Umar
🤢 Pale Green – Uthman
👉 4 stands for judgment of men and their sins.
☠ White – terror and war
😡 Red – chaos and murder
🌚 Black – famine and disease
🤢 Pale sickly green is DEATH and HELL
This is exactly what’s taking place in Northern Ethiopia. The Islamic Oromos of Abiy Ahmed Ali starving ancient Christians of Tigray, Ethiopia to death.
❖❖❖ [Revelation Chapter 6:8] ❖❖❖
“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.”
The International Criminal Court defines the crime of genocide as the “specific intent to destroy in whole or in part a national, ethnic, racial or religious group by killing its members or by other means.”
Christians in Nigeria and Ethiopia face nothing short of genocide. Religious and ethnic carnage have become an all-too-familiar reality in both countries, with no end in sight.
Across Nigeria, Christians are being kidnapped, raped, and murdered on a daily basis because of their faith. Regularly, terrorist groups ranging from Boko Haram to the Islamic State of West Africa abduct and hold for ransom Christian pastors and their families. When the ransom cannot be paid—and sometimes, even when it can—the victims meet a horrific fate. The Council on Foreign Relations estimates that since May 2011, Boko Haram has murdered nearly 35,000 Nigerians, despite Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari wishfully thinking that the terrorist group was defeated in 2018.
According to a Nigerian civil society group, at least 1,470 Christians were murdered, and another 2,200 were abducted in Nigeria during the first four months of 2021. There is no other way to categorize this than to call it exactly what it is: genocide.
It is also important to acknowledge the Nigerian government’s role in these conflicts. On one end of the spectrum, President Buhari’s government turns a blind eye to the murder of its own citizens by Fulani herdsman. On another, it actively engages in the killing of scores of Nigerians protesting the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, or SARS. This group is a corrupt, murderous branch of the Nigerian government, and it has played a substantial role in enforcing Buhari’s amoral policies.
Simply put, Buhari and his corrupt government both ignore and engage in the slaughter of any Nigerians attempting to shape their future. There is no difference between Boko Haram kidnapping and imprisoning nearly 300 schoolgirls and the Nigerian government allowing a systematic genocide of Christians to continue. Violence is violence, regardless of the perpetrator.
USCIRF Commissioner James W. Carr highlighted this concern in the 2021 Annual USCIRF Report when he stated, “I am concerned about the country’s inability, or reluctance, to protect the Christian community.”
It is crucial to note that these crimes are being committed against Christian and Muslim Nigerians alike as the country slowly, but surely, heads into full scale war.
Also on the African continent, Christians in the Tigray region of Ethiopia face a similar predicament.
Since November 2020, over 500.000 Christians of the Tigray region were massacred. The Patriarch of The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, Abune Mathias said that genocide is taking place in Tigray.
😈 “Soldiers of The Fascist Oromo Regime of Ethiopia Burning Christian Civilians Alive”
💭 In the video, armed men burning civilians to death in Western Ethiopia. Some of the men in the crowd are wearing Ethiopian military uniforms as well as uniforms from other regional security forces.
Something is going wrong in Africa. Nigeria and Ethiopia, the two most populous countries on the continent, are both stumbling towards disintegration. There are now 54 sovereign African countries, which really ought to be enough, but in a few years there could be 60.
💭 The Fascist Oromo Regime of Ethiopia is Committing Genocide Against Christians of Tigray, Say Priests From Region.
❖ Christians are being specifically targeted in Tigray, Ethiopia
💭 Although the war is primarily being fought along ethnic lines, Christians are being specifically targeted in the region. Monasteries, clergy and faithful in Tigray, whose Christian heritage dates back to the fourth century, have been attacked, sometimes by Muslim troops from Somalia and Eritrea assigned to kill priests.
Then there is the drone technology and financial help of Muslim countries such as the UAE, Iran and Turkey that also helped devastate Tigray, he added. Ethiopian forces have also destroyed churches and looted their properties.
💭 Video Appears to Show Brazilian Cops Gas Mentally Ill Man to Death in Car
💭 Federal police in Brazil forcing a mentally ill Black man into the back of a car and releasing a gas grenade in the vehicle, killing him. Federal highway police stopped 38-year-old Genivaldo de Jesus Santos, as footage shows, pinning him to the ground, putting him in the back of a police car, and trapping his kicking legs with the door as gas billows out of the vehicle. An autopsy confirmed that Santos, who suffered from schizophrenia, according to family members, died of asphyxiation. Santos’ nephew, Wallison de Jesus, told local media outlets that his uncle was unarmed. The nephew said that Santos became nervous after officers found medication packets during the encounter. As per the nephew’s account, he told officers that Santos needed the medication and that his uncle “didn’t resist.” Officers tell a different story, saying that Santos “actively resisted.” In a statement, Brazil’s Federal Police said that officers had tried to use “instruments of lesser offensive potential” and that they are investigating Santos’ death. The video has sent shockwaves through Brazil, where police violence is commonplace and disproportionately affects Black civilians.
