💭 Democrats attacked the “Islamophobic” removal of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) from the House Foreign Affairs Committee, shouting “No!” to the decision they blamed on racism, xenophobia, and “white supremacy,” as they accused Republicans of merely targeting a Muslim woman of color.
On Thursday, the House voted along party lines to remove the Somali-born Democrat from her seat on the Foreign Affairs Committee through a resolution citing her past remarks on Jews and Israel.
Omar closed the debate by noting her Muslim immigrant background, asking, “Is anyone surprised that I am being targeted?”
The vote passed 218 to 211, with all Democrats voting against the resolution and only one Republican, Rep. David Joyce (R-OH), voting “present.”
Democrats could be heard screaming “Nooo!” during the vote.
The move follows Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s vow to do so last year, citing Omar’s “antisemitic” and “anti-American” comments.
n response to the decision, Democrats lost themselves in defending the Minnesota “Squad” member and condemning her removal.
“St. Louis & I rise in support of Rep. Ilhan whose work on the Foreign Affairs Committee has made this institution a better place,” said fellow “Squad” member Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO).
“Rep. Omar has been repeatedly harassed by GOP Members for existing as a Muslim woman, & this resolution is yet another racist, xenophobic attack,” she added.
💭 Some curious facts:
☆ 1. August 2019 – Ilhan Omar and current husband and political consultant Tim Mynett tried to have his ‘still wife’ Dr. Beth Mynett killed. (Ilhan Omar stole my husband) But ‘Margery Magill’was stabbed to death, instead, by the possible Ethiopian agent of Ilhan – 24-year-old Eliyas Aregahegne – because Dr. Beth Mynett and Margery Magill looked exactly alike – both Magill and Mynett are redheads and lived and worked blocks from each other.
D.C. Police Chief said investigators aren’t sure what the apparent motive was in the stabbing. There was no robbery or attempted sexual assault and the suspect did not appear to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol when he was arrested.
Dr. Mynett was suing for divorce from her husband Tim who was having an affair with Ilhan Omar.
☆ 2. March 2019 – We were witnessing the pre- amble to the planned genocide against Christians of Northern Ethiopia that was to take place two years later.
Chief of Mission Natalie E. Brown welcomed the first U.S. Congressional delegation in 14 years, led by Congresswoman Karen Bass, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Africa, Global Health, Global Human Rights, and International Organizations. She was joined by freshmen Congress members Joe Neguse and Ilhan Omar. They met with Eritrean officials, members of the diplomatic community and young Eritreans, as well as toured the sites of Asmara.

💭 Minnesota man detained in Ethiopia, family pleads for help: “I am absolutely concerned for his life”
Tashitta Tuffa is President and CEO of Metropolitan Transportation Network, based in Fridley.
Tashitta Tufaa’s family says he spent the last two weeks of 2022 in Ethiopia and was preparing to board a return flight to America when he was detained at Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa.
“My uncle was actually with my father. They were supposed to board the same flights and both of their passports got confiscated for some reason,” said Nuurasuu Tufaa, Tashitta’s son. “I got a phone call from my mother hearing that he’s suddenly been detained. It was very scary news. I didn’t know what to do.”
Ethiopia is currently designated as a level 3 or “reconsider travel” advisory by the U.S. State Department. Despite that, Nuurasuu says his family called his father back to his native country.
“He went back home to visit my sick grandmother and his dear aunt passed away while he was there,” said Nuurasuu Tufaa. “My father has no political alliances that I’m aware of. He just wanted to spend time with his mother.”
Nuurasuu says he’s not just concerned for the well-being and safety of his father, but also for his business that provides services to countless people across Minnesota.
“I don’t know where he’s been the last 36 hours and I’m very concerned. I am absolutely concerned for his life. I am very scared, not been able to get much sleep to be honest,” Nuurasuu said. “He’s a business owner. He employs hundreds of Minnesotans. Every day, thousands of Minnesotan kids who study in public schools depend on Metropolitan Transportation Network to bring them to and from school. The lives of those kids and those workers will greatly be affected by his absence.”
The Tuffa family says they’ve been working with federal officials to try and bring Tashitta Tuffa home safely.
“It’s very hard and devastating. So what we’re trying to do now is get in touch with the United States embassy in Ethiopia and get them to locate my father and secure his release and make sure that he’s safe,” Nuurasuu said.
In a statement, Senator Amy Klobuchar told WCCO “My office is in contact with Mr. Tufaa’s family regarding this deeply concerning the situation. My team has reached out to State Department officials to make sure this case is prioritized and we will continue working to bring Mr. Tufaa home safely.”
In addition, Congressman Dean Phillips told WCCO’s Esme Murphy that he and his office spent most of New Year’s Eve working on the situation and plan to escalate the case to the Secretary of State on New Year’s Day if there wasn’t a resolution.
In the meantime, the Tufaa family says they’ll do everything they can from the other side of the world.
“We’re on the phone basically 24/7, not getting any sleep. It’s very hard. It’s my dad, you know. I love him a lot and I just want him to be back. I just want him to be with us. So, what we’re trying to do now is get in touch with the United States embassy in Ethiopia and get them to locate my father and secure his release and make sure that he’s safe,” Nuurasuu said. “I’m eternally grateful for all of them and their cooperation in making sure that my father’s safe.”

💭 New Revelations፡ Somali Troops Committed Atrocities in Tigray as New Alliance Emerged, Survivors Say: https://wp.me/piMJL-7OJ
New revelations about atrocities by Somali soldiers in Ethiopia’s Tigray war are casting a spotlight on an emerging military alliance that has reshaped the Horn of Africa, weakening Western influence in a strategically important region.
The Globe and Mail has obtained eyewitness accounts of massacres by Somali troops embedded with Eritrean forces in Tigray in the early months of the war. The new evidence raises disturbing questions about a covert military alliance between Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia that has inflicted death and destruction on the rebellious Tigrayregion in northern Ethiopia.
Some of the priests and monks were people he recognized. Somali soldiers, working alongside Eritrean forces who had captured the village, had targeted churches and killed the clergymen, he said.
“They slaughtered them like chickens,” he told The Globe.
Officially, the three governments have denied any alliance, and Somalia has denied that its troops were deployed in Tigray. But The Globe’s investigation has provided, for the first time, extensive details of civilian killings committed by Somali soldiers allied with Eritrean forces in the region.
Gebretsadik, a 52-year-old farmer from the village of Zebangedena in northwestern Tigray, said the dusty roads of his village were strewn with the bodies of decapitated clergymen in December, 2020, a few weeks after the beginning of the war.
Some of the priests and monks were people he recognized. Somali soldiers, working alongside Eritrean forces who had captured the village, had targeted churches and killed the clergymen, he said.
“They slaughtered them like chickens,” he told The Globe.
The Somali and Eritrean troops stayed in the village until late February, according to Gebretsadik, who often fled to the bushes and mountains around the village to escape attacks during that time.
The Globe talked to dozens of survivors who had witnessed atrocities in six Tigrayan villages where Somali troops had been stationed between early December, 2020 and late February, 2021. The Globe is not publishing their full names or their current locations because their lives could be in danger.
The survivors said the Somali troops were wearing Eritrean military uniforms, but they were clearly identifiable as Somali because of their language and their physical appearance. Unlike the Eritreans, they could not speak any Tigrinya, the language spoken in Tigray and much of Eritrea. The witnesses said they also heard the Eritrean troops referring to them as Somalis.
💭 The origin of Somali & Oromo hatred of Ethiopian Orthodox Christians goes back at least 500 years.
In 1531, Ottoman Turkey Agent Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi invaded Ethiopia, ending Emperor Lebna Dengel’s ability to resist at the Battle of Amba Sel on October 28.
The Imam, known to Somalis as “Axmed gurey” was seen as avenging Ethiopian repression.
The army of Imam Ahmad then marched northward to loot the island monastery of Lake Hayq and the stone churches of Lalibela.
When the Imam entered the province of Tigray, he defeated an Ethiopian army that confronted him there. On reaching Axum, he destroyed the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion, in which the Ethiopian emperors had for centuries been crowned.
The Ethiopians were forced to ask for help from the Portuguese, who landed at the port of Massawa on 10 February 1541.
The Imam too turned to foreign allies, bringing 2000 musketeers from Arabia, as well as artillery and 900 Ottoman troops.
Iman Ahmad was only finally defeated on 21 February 1543 in when 9,000 Portuguese troops managed to vanquish the 15,000 soldiers under Imam Ahmad, who was killed in the battle.
Paul Henze maintains that the damage inflicted by the Imam’s troops have never been forgotten by Ethiopians.
💭 A number of police cars responded to Minneapolis South High School Thursday after an alleged food fight escalated into a melee involving 200 to 300 students.
The school posted a note on its website stating the it went on a precautionary code yellow lockdown due to “a food fight that escalated into a physical fight.”
The school said Thursday night that classes are still scheduled for Friday.
Sgt. William Palmer, of the Minneapolis Police Department, said no weapons were involved in the incident. However, four people were taken to the hospital following the melee.
Those taken to the hospital were a school staff member, who was hit in the head with a bottle, and three students, who suffered injuries unrelated to the fight, the school said. It did not elaborate on what injured the three students.
Twelve people complained that they had been sprayed with mace. Police at the scene said they had to use chemical agent to get the crowd under control as they were being pelted with objects as they tried to break things up.
The main incident occurred during the school’s third period lunch, around 12:45 p.m., and lasted about 15 minutes. About 20 staff members responded to the incident and followed security procedures, according to the school.
One student, Abdi Sheikh, said he saw hundreds of students fighting in what appeared to be a racial incident.
“A big riot,” he said. “It was all types of races.”
Sheikh said about 20 police rushed into the school shortly after.
Another student, Symone Glasker, said that an initial fight happened during the school’s first lunch period. By the time the third lunch period started, all the hype from the initial fight caused tensions to boil over.
“My lunch was third lunch,” Glasker said. “There was fight after fight after fight. People couldn’t breathe…It was very scary.”
She said the fights were over pride.
“I know it’s a pride thing between Muslims and black people,” she said. “They want their pride back for something. I don’t know.”
She also said “boys were hitting girls” and that some people were lying on the floor, with their hands over their heads, in surrender.
“They didn’t know if someone was going to bring out a knife, or if someone was going to bring out a gun,” Glasker said.
The fight, students say, was the result of long-simmering tensions between the 8 percent of students who are Somali Americans and the 20 percent who are African Americans.
School officials said dismissal would take place as usual and parents would not need to pick up their kids. Afternoon activities will also go on as scheduled.
Students were told to stay in their classrooms during class. The school remained on lockdown following the fight until the dismissal.
The school posted on its website, “Maintaining a safe environment for our students is a top priority. Fighting is not tolerated at school or on school property. We are committed to following the MPS discipline policy in instances of fighting.”
Stan Alleyne, the Minneapolis Public Schools chief of communications, gave a statement, saying South High is a school that continually makes the district proud.
“South is a very diverse high school,” Alleyne said. “It is a microcosm of the city. Students function together at a high level every day. That is the strength of this school. Our students live diversity every day.”
Police are now reviewing video of the incident from several angles, as it was caught on surveillance cameras. No arrests were made.
