☆ 28th of November 2022: UN Internet Forum, Addis Ababa
😈A Horribly Grotesque Mockery – a Force of Pure Evil!
😲 Wow! Can you all see, the Satanic PENTAGRAM without the tricoloed Ethiopian Flag.
Even United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres is in Addis Ababa for the 17th edition of the leading ‘Internet Governance’ event. Of course he will shake hands with the genocidal PM of the fascist Oromo regime, evil monster Abiy Ahmed ‘Hitler’ Ali. He will congratulate him for massacring 1000 Axumites and over a million ancient Orthodox Christians of Ethiopia.
❖❖❖ [1 John 5:19] ❖❖❖
“We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.”
The cruelty with which these Luciferians are celebrating the massacre in Axum, Ethiopia is repugnant.
💭 The Genocidal fascist Oromo regime of Ethiopia Hosts UN Internet Forum, Amid Tigray Blackout, and exactly on The Second-Year Commemoration of The Massacre of Axum. During the past two years, this evil, monstrous regime and its Arab, Turkish and Iranian allies massacred and starved to death two million Christians of Northern Ethiopia.
On the 28th of November Christians of Tigray, Ethiopia commemorate the 2nd anniversary of the gruesome Axum Massacre.
On this very day, the genocidal fascist Oromo regime of Ethiopia is REWARDED, by the genocide-enabler United Nation Organization, with hosting the ‘UN Internet Forum’ amid the government-imposed blackout in the Tigray region that has left six million people without phone or internet access for nearly two years.
The November 28 forum is expected to draw over 2,500 delegates to Addis Ababa, one of the largest international gathering in Ethiopia’s capital in years. With this gathering the UN intends to show a profound disrespect to the memories of the Axum massacre victims, a horribly grotesque mockery.
Ethiopia is hosting the U.N.’s annual Internet Governance Forum, despite an ongoing communications blackout in its war-damaged Tigray region.
Those not able to attend in person will be able to log in virtually to hear sessions dealing with topics such as “connecting all people” and “meaningful access” to the internet.
People living in Tigray will not be tuning in, however. The northern region was subjected to one of the world’s tightest communications blackouts, when war broke out between the federal military and forces led by the Tigray People’s Liberation Front, or the TPLF, in November 2020.
A peace deal struck earlier this month commits the federal government to restoring the services, but the blackout is still firmly in place.
As a result, the U.N.’s decision to hold the event in Ethiopia has raised eyebrows. On November 15, Senator Jim Risch, who chairs the U.S. Senate’s Committee on Foreign Relations, described the decision as “wrong,” saying the forum should be held in a country that “doesn’t regularly block its citizens’ internet access.”
Felicia Anthonio, a manager at internet rights group Access Now, said the internet forum is an “opportunity” to highlight the blackout affecting Tigray.
“Ethiopia’s government has been responsible for a two-year-long internet blackout and must take urgent steps to restore full intent access in Tigray and all parts of the country,” she said. “The African Union and member states have a clear mandate to promote and protect human rights in Africa, and this is the moment for them to step up and help facilitate an end to this internet blockade.”
November 4, 2022 marks two years of deliberate and sustained internet shutdowns that continue to fracture the lives of approximately six million people in Tigray and millions more. We, the undersigned organizations and individuals from across the globe, are alarmed by the human rights violations carried out during the ongoing conflict in Tigray, and the blatant attempts to conceal them. We are petitioning the African Union and individual member states, as continental leaders, to condemn the Ethiopian government’s prolonged shutdown, and to help reestablish internet access across the region and beyond.
Conflict and shutdowns in Tigray
Since the conflict began in Tigray in November 2020, authorities have used deliberate and sustained internet and telecommunication shutdowns as a weapon of information control and censorship, directly impacting the lives of approximately six million peoplein the region, as well as their networks and communities abroad. Authorities and warring parties also targeted infrastructure and confiscated individuals’ SIM cards, and, as the conflict spread to other parts of Ethiopia, including the Amhara and Afar regions, they shut down internet and telecommunication services and infrastructure in those areas — affecting up to 10 million people total. The deliberate shutdowns interfere with people’s ability to access education, healthcare, businesses, and other services, the long-term effects of which could resonate for years to come. These disruptions deprive people in Tigray and other areas from accessing vital and life-saving information about this conflict and connections to their loved ones, leaving people outside the region without information on the safety of their families and communities back home, while making it extremely hard for journalistsand human rights defenders to document and report on the impacts in real time.
Internet shutdowns cover up human rights violations
As we have seen in other conflict zones, the internet shutdowns in Tigray have restricted information emerging from the region, making it increasingly difficult for journalists, human rights defenders, and activists to corroborate accounts ofhuman rights violations. Yet, there have still been numerous reports of warring parties committing heinous crimes against civilians, including mass rape and sexual violence,mass murder,arrests of journalists, and theabuse of refugees.
The internet, social media platforms, and other telecommunications play a critical role in times of social and political unrest, crises, and conflict. These tools enable communication, public debate, access to information, and documentation of events. They also help identify safe havens during conflict and crises. The ongoing internet shutdowns in Tigray are making it challenging for humanitarian aid and medical services to reach conflict zones and affected populations.
Internet shutdowns violate national and international human rights laws
The two-year-long shutdown in Tigray contravenes Article 29 of Ethiopia’s constitution, which guarantees respect for the “right of thought, opinion and expression” and is a blatant violation of the legally binding International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights(ICCPR),the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights(ACHPR), and the African Commission’s (The Commission’s)Resolution on the Right to Freedom of Information and Expression on the Internet, as well as the Commission’s Declaration of Principles on Freedom of Expression and Access to Information. Further, to our knowledge, Ethiopia has not notified the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) or ITU member states of the stoppage or suspension of telecommunications in Tigray, as required by Articles 34 and 35 of theITU Constitution.
Experts, international institutions, and high-level officials — including the UN Secretary-General — have repeatedly affirmed that shutdowns and blockings violate international human rights law. Arecent report by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights highlighted the impact of internet shutdowns on freedom of expression and access to information, and the negative effects they have on economic activities, social welfare, and humanitarian aid delivery. The African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, through the Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression and Access to Information in Africa, has also expressed concernat the increasing weaponization of internet shutdowns in the region.
It’s time for immediate intervention
To date, the government and other parties involved in the blackouts in Tigray have ignored all calls from local and international organizations urging them to reconnect people. It’s time for the African Union and its individual member states to speak out and condemn the Ethiopian government’s prolonged shutdown.
Cognizant of Article 3(H) of The Constitutive Act of the African Union which provides a clear mandate to AU Organs and institutions to promote and protect human rights in Africa, we call for a firmer approach to the situation in Tigray. We commend the African Union for initiating mediation in an effort to de-escalate the conflict, and further implore you to:
Join the regional and international community in denouncing the two-year-long internet shutdown ravaging lives in and around the Tigray region and the practice of internet shutdowns in Ethiopia;
Hold the Ethiopian government and all parties responsible for the shutdown accountable for immediately restoring full access to the internet and telecommunications platforms, in keeping with their commitments in the AU-mediated truce;
Engage with the Ethiopian government and the Tigray regional authorities to ensure they uphold and protect people’s fundamental rights at all times, especially during crises; and
Engage with authorities in Ethiopia to put an end to the cycle of internet shutdowns in conflict-affected areas and during critical national events in future.
We further urge African Union member states to unilaterally speak out and condemn the government’s restrictions of internet and telecommunication services. We, the undersigned organizations and individuals, are confident that your office will take note of the infractions enumerated above and implement our recommendations. You have the opportunity, and the responsibility, to improve and uphold freedom of expression and all human rights in Ethiopia — both online and off.

💭 Biden Mixes Up His Countries And Continents Again on Trip to Regional Summit
Colombia is apparently “top of mind” for President Joe Biden, who seemed to confuse the South America nation with Cambodia while traveling to Phnom Penh for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit and again Saturday while thanking Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen for his leadership as chair.
“Now that we’re back together here in Cambodia, I look forward to building even stronger progress than we’ve already made, and I want to thank the Prime Minister of Colombia for his leadership as ASEAN chair and for hosting all of us,” Biden declared as he opened the summit, according to Reuters.
Biden similarly referred to Cambodia as the South American nation when talking with reporters before departing for the ASEAN summit announcing that he was “heading over to Colombia” before correcting himself, reported Fox News.
Geographic gaffes aren’t just reserved for Joe Biden, though. Vice President Kamala Harris made headlines in September when she stated that the United States had a “strong and enduring alliance” with the Republic of North Korea.
Biden’s latest gaffe is just one in a long series of such mistakes he has made as president, including an awkward moment in September when he tried to acknowledge deceased Republican Indiana Rep. Jackie Walorski at a White House conference.
The New York Times reported that 64 percent of Americans believed that Joe Biden was showing, through these public appearance gaffes, that he was “too old to be president.” Despite this, Biden who will turn 80 this month, stated Wednesday that he intends to run for re-election in 2024, according to Reuters.

💭 Planespotters sometimes get a ribbing but one man’s enthusiastic efforts documenting the battles of pilots to land at Heathrow in Storm Eunice on Friday has earned him a worldwide fan club. With a breathless, but knowledgeable commentary Big Jet TV – which normally specialises in what most people would regard as the fairly dull comings and goings from one of Europe’s busiest airports – is providing a ringside seat to a day of high drama. Viewers are tuning into Jerry Dyer’s channel on YouTube in their thousands as he livestreams dramatic scenes of passenger jets being buffeted side to side as pilots struggle to land them safely. It makes for strangely riveting viewing and, as more and more people have shared the link, his followers have rocketed. More than 190,000 people at any one time are logged onto his YouTube channel on Friday, with Mr Dyer providing a dramatic account of crews’ efforts as planes queue above the airport to land.

Jihadists + Genociders in Brussels
☆ Abiy Ahmed Ali

Shame on you, Europe!
Shame on you, Amnesty International: Flag carrier of hypocrite human rights Industry!
War Criminal Abiy Ahmed Told by The EU to Lift the state of emergency to Enable him to Participate at EU – AU Summit tomorrow? It would be a big shame if The EU decided to invite this evil monster to Brussels.
☆ February 15, 2022 Ethiopia’s monkey parliament has voted for an early end to a six-month state of emergency, which was imposed in last November as Tigray forces fighting the government and their allies advanced towards the capital Addis Ababa.
☆ February 17, 2022 Oromo war criminal monster was invited to join the leaders of the European Union (EU) and the African Union (AU) at the sixth European Union – African Union summit in Brussels.
➡ Coincidence? I don’t think so! They are all conspiring together. They behaved the same way in the former Yugoslavia against Orthodox Serbia.
May be the EU are content with the evil deeds of genocider Abiy Ahmed Ali. They might even allow him to take the seat on the infamous seat No. 666 in the European Parliament chamber in both Brussels and Strasbourg. Could the European Union really be a precursor to Antichrist’s rule?

👉 „Failure on Ethiopia Sanctions ‘My Biggest Frustration’ This Year, Says EU’s Top Diplomat”
💭 My Note: In other words, Mr. Borrell is telling us: “As long as war criminals Abiy Ahmed Ali, Isaias Afewerki, the Oromo & Amhara special forces continue blocking Tigray ans (potential migrants to Europe heading for EU) from crossing the Ethio-Sudanese border in whatever possible form: By rounding them up, mutilating & dismembering — at the border within Africa – and throwing their dead bodies to the Tekeze river across the border, EU won’t issue sanctions against Abiy Ahmed, Isaias Afewerki and their partners in crime. The are doing a good job in preventing undesired ancient Christian Ethiopian migrants (We saw that when the UN The US and EU all blocked ancient Christians of Syria. Read this: No Christians Allowed: Muslim UN Officials Block Syrian Christian Refugees from Getting Help.
Mr. Borrell said it clearly, albeit concerning Belarus and Ukraine: “We cut the flowing of migrants to Europe…for me this is a source of satisfaction”
May be now The EU is giving money to the dictators of Ethiopia and Eritrea as a reward, instead of sanctioning them?!
After all, EU countries have awarded and honored to those evil monsters with the Nobel Peace Prize in 2019, and just two months ago, one of the enablers of the # Tigray Genocide, Daniel Bekele with the German Africa Prize. Just unbelievably cruel – the world upside down, isn’t it?!
💭 EU top diplomat Josep Borrell criticised EU member states on Monday (13 December) for failing to agree on sanctions against those suspected of war crimes in Ethiopia’s civil war, expressing frustration over Europe’s failure to give an effective policy response to “large scale human rights violations” there.
The EU’s response to the civil war in Ethiopia was “one of my biggest frustrations” of the year, said Borrell, the EU’s foreign affairs high representative. He said the EU had not been able to stop “mass rapes using sexual violence as a war aim, killings and concentration camps based on ethnic belonging,” pointing to the lack of unanimity among EU governments.
It is understood that Germany is one of the leading countries reluctant to impose sanctions, though Borrell told reporters that “many countries felt that it (sanctions) wasn’t an adequate solution.”
While the Biden administration in the United States has imposed sanctions under its human rights Magnitsky Act, the EU has not followed suit beyond freezing $107 million in budget support to Ethiopia.
Last month, EU officials told EURACTIV that sanctions were being discussed within the context of the bloc’s Human Rights Sanctions regime, but little progress has been made.
EU prepared to issue sanctions over Tigray war, officials confirm The European Union is prepared to issue sanctions against those responsible for the war and humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia’s Tigray province, EU officials confirmed to EURACTIV on Thursday (5 November).
