In a recent interview with a German publication, former Chancellor Angela Merkel said that the 2014 ceasefire agreement under the Minsk Protocol was meant to give Ukraine time to build up its military. She admitted that Russia could easily have overrun Ukrainian troops in 2015 and doubted if NATO countries could have done as much then as they do. Russia has reacted to Merkel’s interview as a confirmation of Germany’s ‘duplicity’ regarding the war in Ukraine. Moscow said that Merkel, through her statement, has exposed that the West never planned to follow the peace accord.

The International Monetary Fund is looking for constructive and meaningful engagements towards an IMF programme for Ethiopia, Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva said during a visit to Kigali on Thursday.
“We are now looking for constructive and meaningful engagements toward an IMF programme for Ethiopia,” she said, as the east African country seeks an IMF loan after an African Union-backed ceasefire.
Africa’s second most populous country requested a debt restructuring under the Group of 20’s Common Framework process in early 2021, but progress was held up by a two-year civil war in the Tigray region.
The IMF requires debt relief commitments from a country’s bilateral creditors before it agrees to a loan programme.
Ethiopia’s government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), a guerilla force-turned-political party, agreed on Nov. 2 to stop fighting following talks.

APA-Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) The government of Ethiopia and the World Bank Thursday signed two grant agreements amounting to a total of $745 million.
Finance Minister Ahmed Shide and World Bank’s country director Ousmane Dione signed the two financial agreements following the approval of the grants by the World Bank’s directors in mid-December.
Of the total, the $445 million grant will finance the implementation of a program to strengthen Primary Health Care Services in Ethiopia.
The program aims to improve access to and equitable provision of high-quality primary health care services and to further strengthen the country’s health system.
More than 22 million women and children, including those in conflict-affected areas are expected to benefit from the program.
“It will also restore facilities that were damaged by conflict, enabling millions of Ethiopians to get access once again to the services they direly need,” Ousmane said when the bank approved the fund last month.
The second $300 million Grant will also finance another nationwide program named Flood Management Project (FMP).
The project also is expected to enhance Ethiopia’s institutional capacity for disaster and flood risk management in selected river basins, according to the finance ministry.
Nearly 34 million people living in poor communities in the priority basins of Awash, Omo, and Rift Valley Lakes basins are expected to benefit from the project.

😲 Blood-red Cloud Hoveringover an Islamic Shrine, Wow!
💭 Video shows a UFO-shaped RED cloud covering the sky in the early morning hours in Bursa, Turkey, on Jan. 19.
Bursa lies at the base of a mountain range, which makes the phenomenon more likely.
The wave-like pattern is known as a lenticular cloud.

My Note: From the 16th century until today, Turkey has the blood of millions of Ethiopian, Armenian, Assyrian and Greek Orthodox Christians on its hands.
Since 2020, Turkey, alongside Iran the UAE and China deliver drones and their operators to the fascist and genocidal Oromo regime of Ethiopia. These combat drones attacked Christians of Northern Ethiopia, Monasteries, Churches, Schools, Hospitals, homes and and civilian facilities — resulting in more than 1 million deaths
Well, now ✞The Ark of The Covenant is Transmitting a signal on a path to the EAST and to the WEST. China, Europe, America, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey, Iran and Arabia, STOP supporting the fascist Oromo regime of evil Abby Ahmed Ali in Ethiopia. This brutal regime has massacred and starved to death over a million Orthodox Christians of Axumite Ethiopia in under two years.
💭 Fr Isaac Achi of Ss Peter and Paul Church in Kafin Koro, in Niger State, was murdered by assailants who set fire to his house in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Fr Collins Omeh, the assistant priest, was shot while trying to escape the building but survived his injuries and is being treated in hospital.
According to Diocese of Minna, the priest is “responding to treatment”.
Fr Amanchukwu Emeka, the chancellor of Minna Diocese, said: “Please pray for healing mercy from God for Collins.”
Some media reports have claimed that the gunmen doused the outside of the building with petrol and set fire to it after failing for more than an hour to break in.
Sources told Aid to the Church in Need, the Catholic charity for persecuted Christians, that they believed the attackers’ initial motive was to kidnap Fr Achi.
One said: “Because of the dimension and the duration of the assault, we can say that it was planned and organised.”
During the attack, Fr Achi managed to contact relatives, who alerted the police, but no-one attempted to rescue him during the attack. He had previously survived a bombing of 2011.
The attack took place the same day that Fr Michael Olofinlade of Ibadan Archdiocese in south Nigeria was kidnapped.
Last year a total of 28 priests were kidnapped in Nigeria and four were murdered. Aid to the Church in Need revealed in “Persecuted and Forgotten? A Report on Christians oppressed for their Faith 2020-22” that about 7,600 Christians were killed in the country between January 2021 and June 2022.
Speaking in November at the report launch, Bishop Jude Arogundade of Ondo, Nigeria, told the Houses of Parliament that the persecution of Christians in his country by Islamic militants is tantamount to a genocide.
He said: “I strongly appeal to this important body and all people of goodwill to compel the Nigerian government to stop the genocide.”
He urged UK politicians at the very least to “ask for help from other countries before Nigeria is overrun as is the case of Afghanistan”.
“The entire nation is on the edge, apprehensive of a major offensive that may sweep round the entire country,” he said.
The bishop had earlier emerged into the international limelight last summer when he publicly criticised Irish President Michael D. Higgins for blaming “climate change” for the massacre of 41 Catholics, including many children, by Islamists during a Mass at St Francis’ Church, Owo, a parish in his diocese.
President Higgins had suggested moral parity between the massacre “and any attempt to scapegoat pastoral peoples who are among the foremost victims of the consequences of climate change”.
Bishop Arogundade said, however, that “terror attacks, banditry, and unabated onslaught in Nigeria and in the Sahel Region and climate change have nothing in common”.
Any informed person could see “that alluding to some form of politics of climate change in our present situation is completely inappropriate”, the bishop continued.
“Terrorists are on free loose slaughtering, massacring, injuring, and installing terror in different parts of Nigeria since over eight years not because of any reasonable thing but because they are evil — period.”
The scale and frequency of attacks by jihadists means Nigeria is now rated as the seventh most dangerous country in the world for Christians, according to the Open Doors human rights group.
💭 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.
✞ The Russian Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, calls for a ceasefire in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
He wants both militaries to lay down their arms at midnight on January 6, when the Eastern Orthodox Church celebrates Christmas. That is reported by Patriarcha.ru.
A ceasefire would allow orthodox soldiers to attend church services on Christmas Eve and Christmas day, Kirill explained his plea. He added that the truce should remain in force until the night before next Sunday.
Eastern Orthodox Churches have traditionally celebrated Christmas on a different date than Western churches. This year, for the first time, the Ukrainian Orthodox Church allowed parishes to adhere to Western traditions by celebrating Christmas on December 25.
For much of the Western world, Christmas is celebrated on December 25, according to the Gregorian calendar. Yet in a distinction that dates back centuries, Orthodox Christians follow the Julian calendar and mark the festival on January 7 instead.
Orthodox Christmas — and the long-standing rift between the Russian Orthodox Church and other Orthodox groups — has been thrust into the spotlight this year by Russian President Vladmir Putin’s call for a temporary 36-hour ceasefire in Ukraine to allow Orthodox followers to attend Christmas services. Putin’s proposal was swiftly dismissed as “hypocrisy” and “propaganda” by Ukrainian officials, and shelling has continued from both sides.
❖ Orthodox Christians are estimated to number between 200 and 300 million people globally.
It may be the new year, but for us, Christmas celebrations are only just beginning.
In some Eastern European countries, in Ethiopia and Egypt Christmas is officially celebrated on January 7.
That is because many Orthodox Christian churches follow the Julian calendar for religious celebrations.
The Julian calendar runs 13 days behind the Gregorian calendar, the standard international calendar in use today.
When we Orthodox Christians open the church calendar on January 7, we’re actually looking at the date December 25. So we still have that same date, we’re just using a calendar that hasn’t caught up. It’s like a clock that’s running 13 days slow.
The Julian calendar took effect under the reign of Julius Caesar in 45BC.
In 1582, Pope Gregory XIII created a new calendar to correct the discrepancy between calendar time and calculated astronomical time. It became known as the Gregorian calendar.
But to begin with only Catholic countries adopted the changes and Orthodox Christian countries remained on the Julian calendar.
Over time, those countries adopted the Gregorian calendar for secular use but the Orthodox churches continued to base their liturgical calendar on the Julian timetable.
In 1923 a revised version of the Julian calendar was introduced bringing Christmas Day in line with the Gregorian calendar, but it was only adopted by some of the Orthodox Christian countries including Greece, Cyprus and Romania.
Russia, Ukraine, Serbia, Belarus, Egypt, Ethiopia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Macedonia, Moldova and Montenegro continue to celebrate Christmas on January 7.
Prior to Russia’s full-scale war on Ukraine, Kyiv had been pushing to establish its own independent Orthodox Church separate from Moscow, and the schism only widened in the wake of Putin’s invasion last year. In October, a branch of Ukraine’s Orthodox church announced it would allow its churches to celebrate Christmas on December 25, rather than January 7.
Edomites of The West and Ishmailites of The East are spreading strife among Orthodox Christian brothers in Russia, Ukraine, Armenia, Georgia, Syria, Iraq, Egypt and Ethiopia.

“There are six things which the Lord hates Yes seven which are an abomination to Him:..And one who spreads strife among brothers.„

US citizens trapped in war-torn Tigray are being detained and interrogated by Ethiopian authorities while trying to leave the country, interviews with fleeing people and family members show.
Leaked emails by US officials say that the Ethiopian government, citing national security grounds, insisted on holding and questioning US citizens from Tigray — a stance, they say, that caused Washington to abort plans to airlift Americans from the region last year.
The lucky few to escape the region, cut off from the outside world for two years as government forces battled Tigrayan rebels, told AFP they had been singled out and interrogated when attempting to leave.

💭 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.”
