(By Belay Ambelay) – For anyone who knows the place, Rama was the gateway where the Italian colonial appetite to expand southward was brought to a halt. Rama meant everything then. It was an area covered with thick forest where, among other animals, loins, leopards and elephants roared, roamed and thudded around. Furthermore, till early […]

(Belay Ambelay) – Be woke Tigrayans! There are media predators; werewolves, some the usual wolves in sheep’s wool, others bears in peacocks’ feathers roaming around pretending to care and defend, but spreading rumours, innuendos to scare, intimidate and confuse Tigrayans so as to soften their tenacity to defend themselves against genocidaires and foreign-paid aggressors. This […]

(By Belay Ambelay) – I am aware there may be many on this planet from chefs, shoe polishers, priests, etc who are unrestrained liars who wouldn’t feel embarrassed when they spoke of an inamorata with beads of pure gold collected and sold to build a mansion they now live in, guarded by angels, they would […]

(By Yared Huluf) – There are two separate worlds, with one rule for one world and another rule for the second world. There is an evangelical pastor whom Lord Boateng believes was sent from Heaven and is residing in Fenfinie. Oromia is now squatted by Amharas with a divine theanthropic who preaches that the first […]

(By Belay Ambelay) – There are issues, and there are other issues. The latter are rare and sensitive. Custodians of rare and sensitive issues are custodians not only in name but in real terms. When they are told to confine secrets, it means just that—keep them close to their chest. No one, not even the […]

As all Eritreans are aware, Isaias Afewerki has been involved in the war in Tigray in support of Abiy Ahmed since the start of the war on November 4, 2020. The Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF), Amhara Militias, and Eritrean Army are committing massacres against innocent civilians, including children, women, and the elderly, across Tigray, […]

In a single day, the soldiers of President Isaias killed 4150 Amhara militias and Fanos recently, who refused to be the canon fodders on the front line. No one wanted to hear or see the carnage despite the call for help. In the last 50 days since the third phase of the war started, leaked Federal […]

(By Temesgn Kebede) – Mark my word the only country in the world that sold its land in exchange for weapons and to sabotage its domestic challengers was Ethiopia under Menelik! Talk of sovereign integrity; my foot! The Showan Amharas are taking the mic! I have no illusion, and you too shouldn’t have either, that […]

(By Yared Huluf) – If you know your enemy well, you know yourself better and you will succeed in dealing with his manoeuvring. When do you win a war? When you fight with determination. This determination does not come from thin air. It has to have a cause, a just cause that revolves around human […]

(By Yared Huluf) – Ahem! Did you say history repeats itself? You can say it again. Yes it does;  it is now axiomatic. Who would have thought the world would find itself again at the brink of nuclear war, after having faced the traumatic experience six decades ago? Fascism is on the rise. Who would in […]

Editorial – The war in Tigray is nearly approaching its second year. The genocidal war crime over Tigray, ethnic cleansing, gang rape, and complete siege deprived Tigray of the necessities of survival. Food and medicine cannot reach the people, and consequently, artificial famine is taking its toll on everyone in Tigray. Essential services, like electric […]

(By Temesgn Kebede) – There cannot be a credible superpower nor can there be acceptable international organizations which could rely on to come to their rescue if they were to fall into the cruel hands of dictators, either internal or external. Dictators have come to power, and still come to power, with the tacit support […]

(By Belay Ambelay) – Stray dogs run around in Tigray and its environment. They hoped they would find something of good use to extend their miserable lives a little longer, making it worth their while or at least better than for nothing. Although once they wandered in as victors looking for the promised Orr, there […]

(By Yared Huluf) – Ten million Tigrayans are besieged, exposed to famine and diseases. Still, more live in different parts of former Ethiopia walking a tight rope, their homes raided and ransom demanded: former Tigrayan military officers are languishing in remote prisons, while the world prefer to look the other way, unconcerned about justice, democracy […]

(By Temesgn Kebede) – you cannot expect viral rabid infected dog to behave as told. If you expected the dog to behave as taught he would then it is not the dog but the expectant who ought to be questioned and regarded as seriously sick and not the poor dog which is in trouble. The dog […]

(By Belay Ambelay) – Opening sentence, I quote; “What doesn’t kill you makes you strong”, the Professor stated. But this is a false synthesis or reverse paralogism. Any damage health wise or an injury, financial loss or relation does not make anyone strong. This is Amhara’ way of perverse logic infused in all aspect of […]

(Source: BBC News, By Alex de Waal, Africa analyst) – The war in Ethiopia, between the federal government and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), has resumed at full scale. The route back to negotiations is uncertain at best. The two sides agree that the first shots were fired in the early morning of 24 August on […]

Posted on Monday, 22 August 2022 11:52 Tigray leaders are highly critical of African Union-led efforts to bring peace to Ethiopia – including AU negotiator Olusegun Obasanjo’s suggestion that Eritrea should join the peace process.

(By W.S. Asfaw) – The ongoing crisis in Ethiopia created and perused by Abiy Ahmed and his reckless officials was not given enough attention by western governments but lip service so far. In almost two years since the war of aggression (Nov.4,2020), was started on the people of Tigray, the west’s response was at most […]
