The attacks are being carried out by Oromia Special Forces, Oromia Geda Qerro Special Forces, Repi OLA, and Gachena Sirna militias. Hundreds of homes belonging to more than 670 Amhara civilians have been burned down in Indododicho and Hashober towns alone. Alongside the widespread destruction, Amhara civilians are being massacred in gruesome acts of violence. In one particularly horrific incident in Indododicho Kebele, an Amhara mother and her four children were hacked to death with machetes. Residents told Ethio Focus News that prior to the attack, Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) withdrew from Angerguten and handed over security control to Oromia regional forces. Before leaving, ENDF reportedly instructed residents to flee the area with their children and belongings. This sequence of events strongly suggests that the destruction of these Amhara-inhabited towns was sanctioned by top federal and Oromia Region officials. When Oromia regional forces launched their attack on December 20, Amhara residents initially managed to defend themselves, inflicting heavy losses and temporarily pushing the attackers out of the towns. However, ENDF later returned with mechanized units and Zu-23 anti-aircraft weapons and launched an assault on Amhara defenders. This intervention enabled Oromia regional forces to re-enter the towns, resume the massacre of Amhara civilians, and continue the systematic destruction of homes. Amhara residents who appealed to ENDF for protection as their homes were being burned were reportedly told that stopping the attacks was “beyond ENDF’s control.” The destruction of Indododicho and Hashober Kebeles has now entered its fifth consecutive day. In Ali Kebele, more than 216 Amhara children, mothers, and elders have been abducted by Oromia regional forces. An additional 150 people have reportedly been abducted in Indododicho Kebele. Their whereabouts remain unknown. Residents from Ali, Hashober, and Indododicho Kebeles who fled into nearby areas report that two children are missing and are feared to have been killed by wild animals. The remaining displaced residents have been hiding in the jungle for five days without access to food or water. The Amhara population is urgently calling on the international community and human rights organizations to intervene, protect civilians, and assist those stranded and at risk.
Reports of Continued Killings of Christians in Ethiopia’s Arsi Region Draw Condemnation from Oriental Orthodox Churches (IN BOLD) Reports continue to emerge from multiple media outlets detailing the ongoing killings of Christians in Ethiopia’s Arsi region. Witnesses describe brutal attacks targeting members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, part of a disturbing pattern of religious persecution that has alarmed faith leaders and human rights organizations alike. In response, the Standing Conference of Oriental Orthodox Churches has issued a formal statement condemning these atrocities and expressing solidarity with the victims. The statement reaffirms support for His Holiness Abune Mathias I, Patriarch and Catholicos of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, and calls upon all peace-loving nations, religious institutions, and moral leaders to unite in denouncing these crimes and to work toward justice, reconciliation, and lasting peace in Ethiopia. The Conference emphasized that attacks on any faith community are an affront to the sanctity of human life and urged the Ethiopian government to take immediate action to protect its citizens and ensure accountability for those responsible @WhiteHouse, @StateDept, @USEmbassyAddis, @UAEthio, @UNOSAPG, @VP, @realDonaldTrump, @TheIRD, @StateDRL, @AsstSecStateAF, @richghazal, @markdtooley, @OrthodoxyNews, @indefchristians, @RepJohnJames, @housegop, @Repsarajacobs, @YoungKimCA, @RepJimBaird, @RepMillsPress, @RepGaramendi, @IMFNews, @JusticeOfficeUS, @WorldBank, @WorldBankAfrica, @StateIRF, @USCIRF, @IrfSecretariat, @Sean_ADFIntl,@SenMarcoRubio, @RubenGallego, @ElissaSlotkin, @AndyKimNJ,@AdamSchiff, @CEXAlsobrooks,@CurtisUT,@RepGaramendi,@RepSaraJacobs, @RepJimBaird, @RepYoungKim, @RepMillsPress, @CongresswomanSC @michaelgwaltz,@RepMarkWalker,@RepRileyMoore,@TomColeOk04,@HouseAppropsGOP
