💭 የኡጋንዳ ፓርላማ የተመሳሳይ ጾታ ግንኙነትን ወንጀል የሚያደርገውንና በሞት የሚያስቀጣውን ሕግ አጸደቀ

ፓርላማው ማንኛውንም ራሱን በተመሳሳይ ጾታ ግንኑትነት አፍቃሪነት የመደበ፣ ወይም የጾታ ለውጥ ያስደረገ እንዲሁም በእንግሊዝኛ ምሕጻራቸው ኤል–ጂ–ቢ–ቲ–ኪው ዝርዝር ውስጥ የሚካተት የጾታ ዝንባሌ ያለው ዜጋን ሁሉ ወንጀለኛ ያደርጋል።

ይህ ብቻም ሳይሆን ሕጉ እነዚህን የተመሳሳይ ጾታ አፍቃሪዎችን በጉያው ያቀፈ፣ በቤተሰብ ደረጃ ያስጠለለ፣ ወዳጃቸው የሆነ ወይም አብሯቸው ያለ ሰው “እከሌ እና እከሌ” ብሎ ለሕግ አካላት ማንነታቸውን የማጋለጥ ግዴታን በሌሎች ላይ ይጥላል።

በምሥራቅ አፍሪካዊቷ አገር ኡጋንዳ የተመሳሳይ ጾታ ቀድሞም ሕገ ወጥ ተደርጎ ነው የቆየው።

አምና ላይ፤ “የትግራይ ተዋጊዎች በኡጋንዳ እየሰለጠኑ ነው” ሲሉን ነበር። አሁን ደግሞ በምስራቅ ኡጋንዳ የሚኖሩ በመቶዎች የሚቆጠሩ “የክርስቶስ ሐዋሪያዎች” የተሰኘ እምነት ተከታዮች የዓለም ፍጻሜ በቅርቡ የሚጀምረው ከአካባቢያቸው መሆኑን በማመን ወደ ኢትዮጵያ በመሰደድ ላይ ናቸው።

ኡጋንዳዊያኑ የእምነቱ ተከታዮች ንብረታቸውን በመሸጥ ወደ ኢትዮጵያ በሕገወጥ መንገድ እየገቡ ያሉት ከየካቲት ጀምሮ እንደሆነ የኡጋንዳ ፖሊስ ተናግሯል። ግን ኡጋንዳዊያኑ ወደ ኢትዮጵያ የገቡት በየት በከል እንደሆነ ዘገባው አላብራራም።

ከመቶ ሺህ በላይ ሶማሌዎች ወደ ኢትዮጵያ በመግባት ላይ ናቸው፣ ደቡብ ሱዳኖችም እንዲሁ።

የኢትዮጵያ እናት አክሱም ጽዮን ማንም እንዳይገባባትና እንዳይወጣባት በፋሲቶቹ ጋላ–ኦሮሞዎች የሚመራው አረመኔ አገዛዝ ያው ለአምስት ዓመታት በሂደት ዙሪያዋን ዘጋግቷታል።

ኢትዮጵያ ሀገሬ ሞኝ ነሽ ተላላ የሞተልሽ ቀርቶ የገደለሽ በላ! አይ ለእነዚህ ከሃዲዎችና አረመኔዎች እየመጣባቸው ያለው መዓት! ከኡጋንዳ ወደ ኢትዮጵያ የገቡትም ኢቦላንና ኮሌራን ተሸክመው ሊሆን ይችላል!

❖ በአክሱም ጽዮናውያን ላይ የፈጸሟቸው ግፎችና ወንጀሎች እጅግ እጅግ እጅግ በጣም ከባባዶች ናቸውና ምንም መዳኛ አይኖራቸውም! እግዚአብሔር የበቀል አምላክ ነው!

💭 Members of parliament in Uganda have passed a bill that would make homosexual acts punishable by death.

Nearly all the 389 legislators voted on Tuesday for the anti-homosexuality bill that introduces capital and life imprisonment sentences for gay sex and ‘recruitment, promotion and funding’ of same-sex ‘activities’. The bill will now go to President Yoweri Museveni, who can veto it or sign it into law. But in a recent speech he appeared to express support for the bill. The bill marks the latest in a string of setbacks for LGBTQ+ rights in Africa, where homosexuality is illegal in most countries.

💭 Hundreds of Ugandan Sect Members Flee to Ethiopia, Fearing Doomsday

Leaders of sect convinced them that end of world is near and death is about to strike their area.

HUNDREDS of people belonging to a religious sect in eastern Uganda have fled from their villages to Ethiopia, Ugandan police said Sunday.

Police said that according to their investigations, the sect members fled to escape the end of the world, which they believe will start from their area.

According to the Anadolu Agency, they said the members of the sect were told by its leaders that their area would soon be hit with death and all the people there would die. They reportedly sold off their property and fled to Ethiopia, from where they are communicating with some of their relatives in Uganda.

‘We are investigating a religious sect called Christ Disciples Church with its base located in Obululum village in the eastern Uganda district of Serere. We started the investigations after getting information that people were being trafficked to Ethiopia since February and it is going on till today,’ area police spokesman Oscar Ogeca told Anadolu’s Godfrey Olukya.

He said the people, who number in the hundreds, were told by their leaders that death is coming soon to their area and the only place they would be safe is in Ethiopia. They were convinced that they should go and spread the gospel there.

✞ Christian Theology Lecturer Fired After Tweets On Homosexuality Describes ‘suffering And Persecution’

A lecturer dismissed from Methodist institution Cliff College after sharing his “evangelical” views on homosexuality says he was surprised by the school’s actions as he describes “a horrendous amount of suffering and persecution”.

Dr Aaron Edwards’ dismissal occurred amid the Methodist Church’s movement towards accepting same-sex marriage, which impacted the college’s doctrine on relationships.

Dr Edwards argued that maintaining an evangelical stance was crucial for the institution’s student base and heritage.

In response to the Anglican Church’s decision to bless same-sex relationships, Dr Edwards tweeted “robustly against homosexuality from an evangelical perspective”.

The tweet read: “Homosexuality is invading the Church. Evangelicals no longer see the severity of this b/c they’re busy apologising for their apparently barbaric homophobia, whether or not it’s true. This *is* a “Gospel issue”, by the way. If sin is no longer sin, we no longer need a Saviour.”

The college initially asked him to remove the tweet – he said he could not delete it in good conscience, as he believed in its message.

The tweet led to his suspension after receiving considerable backlash online, from Christians and non-believers alike. After being accused of bringing the college into disrepute, and threats to take the matter to counter-terrorism team Prevent, Dr Edwards was fired.

In an interview with Premier Christian News, he said he was surprised at his suspension and defended his tweet as a biblical approach to sin “encroaching” upon the church.

The dismissal has had a significant impact on Dr Edwards’ family, leaving them with no income. At the same time, they face eviction from their home within a matter of weeks.

He said: “We don’t know what’s going to happen, but we know God’s going to provide.

“We’re in a loving church. I’ve had so many people praying and prophesying over us over the last month, and that has been amazing.

“Though there’s been a horrendous amount of suffering and persecution, and also people attacking me thinking I’m trying to be a martyr, because I’m talking about it – and I just don’t think they understand what it’s like to go through these things.

“At the same time, my church has been right behind me, and people have been supporting us in all sorts of ways.

“We’ve got a Crowdfunder up now where we’ve asked people to if they want to contribute, I’ve got a vision for theological education in the future that I’d like to explore further, and so I think we’re going to be okay, because I just believe God’s got us in his hands.”

Dr Edwards is currently considering legal action and appealing his termination with support from Christian Concern.

💭 Clashes Erupt Outside Sydney Church Over ‘Anti-Trans’ Speech, exactly on the Feast Day of St. Michael the Archangel.

❖The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church honors St. Michael on the 12th of each month.

Clashes erupted between rival protest groups after LGBT+ activists blocked a church venue where One Nation NSW leader Mark Latham was to deliver an allegedly “anti-trans” speech.

Around 15 LGBT+ protestors, organised by the Community Action for Rainbow Rights, waited outside St. Michael’s Church Belfield in Sydney’s multicultural western region on the evening of March 21.

Soon hundreds of individuals confronted the group, which also allegedly included members of the Christian Lives Matter movement, resulting in scuffles and two individuals being arrested.

Bottles were also thrown at police trying to separate the groups while a live streamer was knocked over.

One Nation’s Latham condemned the violence but also said what the LGBT+ protestors did was wrong.

“They were going to block [the entrance] and deny access to the front entry to the church,” Latham told 2GB radio, saying police told his assistant to park around the back instead.

“I was greeted by mainly mothers and grandmothers who wanted to hear about school education, parental rights, and all the issues I’ve been raising during the election campaign,” he said.

The One Nation New South Wales (NSW) leader has been a vocal critic of the state’s education system, exposing young students to issues like gender fluidity and transgenderism.

“The police informed me that out the front there’d been chaotic scenes—the equivalent of a riot—where some of the parishioners took exception to the fact that access to their church was going to be blocked by these transgender protesters and they took matters into their own hands, which was wrong,” he said.

“I think blocking roads and access to the church is definitely wrong. In that setting, people like myself—a politician running for elected office—should be allowed to make his speech,” he added.

Latham said police suggested he cancel the speech, but he refused to, saying it would mean the LGBT protestors had successfully cancelled his “free speech and democratic rights.”

In a message to churchgoers, Latham said that while they may be offended by the actions of the LGBT+ activists, they should: “Keep your hands to yourself. Don’t be violent, allow the police to do their work, come into the hall, listen to the speeches, go away and make up your own mind on who you vote for.”

The right-wing One Nation is tracking strongly in several seats in the multicultural, religious, and largely blue-collar electorates of western Sydney.

💭 ‘A perverted religion, outright Satanism’: Putin attacks the West while praising Russian values | Russian President Vladimir Putin attacks the West, saying it’s ‘satanic’ and rejected ‘moral norms’ while praising ‘traditional’ Russian values.

In his speech at the Kremlin, Putin cast the conflict with the West in even more severe terms than he had previously, reeling off centuries of Western military actions to denounce the U.S.-led world order as fundamentally evil, corrupt and set on Russia’s destruction.

“The repression of freedom is taking on the outlines of a reverse religion, of real satanism,” Putin said, asserting that liberal Western values on matters like gender identity amounted to a “denial of man.”

Putin attacked the West’s liberalism, saying that, unlike Russia, it had turned away from “traditional” and “religious” values.

At one point in the speech, in which Putin announced Russia was annexing four regions of Ukraine, he asked the assembled dignitaries if they wanted “children to be offered sex-change operations,” a practice he implied was widespread in the West.

In his two decades in power, Putin has routinely promoted what he says are “traditional values” and suppressed LGBTQ rights through a number of laws and by backing ultra-conservative movements and initiatives.
