'Ethiopian public Diplomacy Network' (EPDN) Letter to the Secretary General of the @UN (@antonioguterres) RE: Crises in #Ethiopia "The dire circumstances in Ethiopia needs immediate attention" CC @JoeBiden, @MikeHammerUSA, @_AfricanUnion, @EUCouncil, @SenatorRisch, @SecBlinken

The United States is deeply concerned about recent reports of targeted killings of civilians in Arsi zone, Oromia region, Ethiopia. The United States condemns religious, ethnic, or political motivated violence. Such horrific attacks against any group must stop. As we seek to understand this tragedy, the United States urges against characterizations that could deepen division. The United States calls on the government of Ethiopia to investigate and to bring the perpetrators to justice.

This is us Amhara Orthodox Christians massacred in the Oromia region, Ethiopia😭😭😭

Ethiopian Christians have been butchered in a pair of attacks that left at least 60 people dead. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church’s Holy Synod said at least 14 people were killed in Merti district on Oct. 20, and that at least 46 others were killed in… w-j.​co/s/a9d92

At least 15 people, many of them children, died in a series of drone strikes that hit a camp for displaced civilians in Ethiopia's Amhara region, two sources involved in a rescue operation said on Friday. reuters.com/world/africa/str…

News: #Drone strike kills 16, injures 22 at #Hayiq Jari 2 IDP camp in #Amhara region A drone strike killed 16 civilians and injured 22 others at the Hayiq Jari 2 Turk internally displaced persons (IDP) camp in Amhara region at around 11:00 a.m. today, including three pregnant women, an eight-year-old girl and students, camp residents told Addis Standard. “The drone struck the camp five times, at least, at intervals of 15 minutes, while IDPs were inside their shelters. We never expected a drone to attack the camp,” the witness told #Addis_Standard. “At least 15 of them were buried together in one grave because we had no place to bury them individually,” a camp resident who witnessed the attack said. The IDPs were displaced from parts of #Oromia, including Kelem Wollega, East Wollega, West Wollega, Horo Guduru Wollega and West Shewa. Insecurity, targeted dispossession and limited infrastructure continue to constrain their return or relocation. addisstandard.com/?p=60758

💔🇪🇹 BREAKING: AMHARA DISPLACED CIVILIANS HIT BY A DEVASTATING DRONE STRIKE IN ETHIOPIA Imagine surviving massacres, fleeing your home in search of safety, only to have the place where you sought refuge destroyed as well. 💔 Reports emerging from Jara IDP Camp in North Wollo, Ethiopia, on October 29, 2026, describe a devastating drone strike that reportedly killed and injured displaced Amhara civilians, including children, women, elderly people, and religious fathers.✝️ These families had already fled massacres in Wollega, Oromia, hoping to find safety. Now, reports say the camp has been burned to the ground, leaving survivors homeless and facing yet another unimaginable tragedy!!😔 Where can innocent civilians go when even their places of refuge are no longer safe? Internally displaced people are civilians who deserve protection, dignity, and the basic right to live without fear. Attacks that harm civilians and civilian shelters must be thoroughly investigated, and those responsible must be held accountable in accordance with international humanitarian law. Casualty figures and details are still being confirmed. The victims and survivors must not be forgotten, and their suffering must not be met with silence. 🙏 Pray for the innocent victims, the injured, and every family left with nothing. May the survivors find safety, comfort, and justice. The world must pay attention. Every innocent life matters. #AmharaGenocide #Ethiopia #Amhara #StopTheViolence #ProtectCivilians #HumanRights #PrayForEthiopia #EndChristianPersecution

Ethiopia has taken delivery of 12 Russian-made Su-35 fighter jets and will later receive four S-400 air defence systems from Moscow as part of a drive to bolster its military capabilities, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said on Wednesday. reuters.com/world/africa/eth…

Ethiopia received ~€244m in Irish bilateral aid from 2020–2025. It’s just received a delivery of 12 Russian Su-35 fighters & plans to acquire four S-400 air defence system, again from Russia. Should Irish taxpayers be funding aid to countries buying advanced Russian weaponry?

BREAKING: Horrifying new footage has been released of the Ethiopian Christian community burying dozens of innocent people who were slaughtered by Islamists. Where is the outrage?

AEPAC Statement Supporting Congressional Call for Urgent U.S. Diplomatic Action in Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa The American Ethiopian Public Affairs Committee (AEPAC) expresses its full support for the letter addressed to U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio by members of Congress concerning the deteriorating security situation in Ethiopia and the growing risk of a wider regional conflict in the Horn of Africa. Taking into consideration the prolonged war in the Amhara region, the renewed war in Tigray, continued armed conflicts across other parts of Ethiopia, and the recent formation of the Alliance for Survival (AFS), AEPAC shares the serious concerns expressed by the congressional leaders regarding the escalating hostilities throughout Ethiopia, rising tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea, the potential involvement of regional actors, and the grave humanitarian consequences of further conflict. The escalating crisis underscores the urgent need for sustained U.S. diplomatic leadership, coordinated regional engagement, the protection of civilians, and a credible, inclusive, and sustainable peace process. Unresolved political and security challenges, regional tensions, and the risk of further armed conflict threaten to deepen instability and cause additional humanitarian suffering. Preventing a wider regional war must be an immediate priority. AEPAC therefore endorses the recommendations in the congressional letter and urges the U.S. Department of State to take the following actions: 1. Appoint and empower a Senior Special Envoy for the Horn of Africa. Provide the envoy with sufficient authority to engage directly with the leadership of Ethiopia and Eritrea at the presidential level and coordinate diplomatic efforts with the African Union (AU), the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), and the United Nations (UN). 2. Press for an immediate ceasefire and a renewed peace process. Urge all parties to halt hostilities and pursue an inclusive, sustainable political settlement supported by independent monitoring and an effective dispute-resolution mechanism. 3. Prevent an interstate war between Ethiopia and Eritrea. Engage both governments directly at the highest diplomatic levels, press them to honor their commitments under the 2018 Jeddah Agreement, and warn Egypt, Sudan, and Gulf partners against providing military assistance or other support to armed proxies that could intensify the conflict. 4. Mobilize Gulf and regional partners to advance de-escalation. Work with countries across the Middle East and North Africa, as well as other influential regional actors, to coordinate diplomatic efforts, reduce tensions, and halt the supply of drones and other weapons used in attacks that endanger civilian lives. 5. Ensure humanitarian access and restore emergency response funding. Press the Government of Ethiopia to guarantee unfettered humanitarian access to all populations in need, restore essential emergency response funding, and provide Congress with detailed information on humanitarian assistance committed to Ethiopia since September 23, 2026. 6. Protect civilians and strengthen accountability. Urge all parties to uphold international human rights standards and applicable international humanitarian law, support meaningful accountability for those responsible for war crimes and other serious human rights violations, and provide protection and assistance to survivors of sexual and gender-based violence. Civilians and affected communities must also have a meaningful role in peacebuilding and reconciliation. 7. Reinstate targeted sanctions and visa restrictions. Apply these measures consistently against individuals on all sides who are responsible for atrocities or whose actions contribute to escalating violence and regional instability. 8. Rebuild U.S. diplomatic and analytical capacity in the region. Strengthen sustained diplomatic engagement, regional expertise, and early-warning capabilities, and provide regular briefings to Congress on the administration’s strategy to prevent further conflict in Ethiopia, the Horn of Africa, and the broader region. Preventing a wider war in the Horn of Africa is far less costly—in human, economic, and strategic terms—than managing its consequences after escalation. Further conflict would place additional civilian lives at risk, deepen displacement and humanitarian suffering, threaten regional security, and undermine stability across an already fragile region. The United States has an important role to play in supporting preventive diplomacy, encouraging regional cooperation, protecting vulnerable populations, and advancing a credible and sustainable path toward peace. Such efforts should be guided by respect for human rights, accountability, sovereignty, and the legitimate aspirations of the peoples of the region for security, dignity, and lasting stability. AEPAC urges the Department of State to respond with the urgency this crisis demands and supports the congressional leaders’ request for a briefing on the Department’s strategy no later than November 30, 2026. The American Ethiopian Public Affairs Committee reaffirms its commitment to peace, civilian protection, and lasting stability in Ethiopia and throughout the Horn of Africa. We call on U.S. policymakers and regional partners to act decisively and diplomatically before the current crisis escalates into a wider and more devastating regional war.

🇪🇹‼️ | Más de 60 fieles masacrados en Etiopía tras emboscada de milicias radicales: la Iglesia Ortodoxa Tewahedo denunció el atroz ataque en la región de Oromia, donde rebeldes rodearon a la comunidad, ejecutaron a niños y quemaron 20 viviendas. Mientras el gobierno de Abiy Ahmed fracasa en garantizar la seguridad, la persecución contra los cristianos en África alcanza niveles alarmantes, según reportan BBC y Vatican News.

Catholic Bishop Robert Barron condemned the killing of 9 Christians in Jordan and more than 40 Christians in Ethiopia, saying, “These are not statistics. They are our brothers and sisters, members of the Mystical Body of Christ.”

Dozens of Christians have been massacred in a horrific attack in Ethiopia. The BBC is reporting that more than 60 Orthodox Christians were killed in a series of attacks in the Oromia region. While some details remain difficult to verify independently, and it's unclear why they were killed, please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Ethiopia. 🙏 WATCH: youtube.com/watch?v=BsqBTMB1… FILE photo shows Ethiopian federal police officers, Oct. 8, 2026.

Local residents in Arsi where mass killings happened a few days ago are saying anyone in the area who picked up and buried citizens killed a few days ago, wore mourning clothes, or was a relative of the deceased is being hunted down and arrested. Residents say the number of people arrested by local officials, accused of being 'collaborators with the enemy' and 'leaking information,' has now exceeded 100. Addis Standard confirmed this today and published news on it, mentioning that the number of detainees is over 50: It is now becoming crystal clear who is behind the killings?

In case you doubt where we are, here is yet another country where Christians are under Islamic terrorist attack. This time Ethiopia. And once again, leaders in the Church, the Vatican & all across the western world will act as if this is not happening. But as Islam conquers more & more territory & the West falls to their globalist puppet masters, life in the west will not improve. You won’t gain more rights & more freedom. You will lose it all.

Two violent attacks by armed individuals — one on October 20 and another on October 24 — left 60 Christians dead and 20 homes burned to the ground in Ethiopia. trib.al/C0m9rsK

Church officials in Ethiopia have confirmed that at least 60 Orthodox Christians, including five children, were murdered in two separate attacks last week in the nation's conflict-heavy Oromia region. A local resident whose 75-year-old father was killed… w-j.​co/s/b57a8

Over 40 Orthodox Christians massacred in Ethiopia. Homes burned, churches targeted, mass burials. Almost total silence from Western media and “human rights” groups. When the victims are Black African Christians, the outrage disappears.

🇪🇹 60 Christians were killed in Ethiopia in a single week, and the government and rebels are blaming each other. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church says 14 believers were killed in one attack on October 20, and 46 more in another just 4 days later, both in the Oromiya region surrounding the capital, Addis Ababa. Over 20 homes were burned, and more than 20 people are in hospital with severe injuries. The regional government says a rebel alliance carried out the attacks to spark religious conflict, without offering any evidence. A source linked to the rebels says the government did it. That alliance formed just last month, with 7 armed groups vowing to overthrow PM Abiy Ahmed. While both sides point fingers, the families of 60 people are left burying their dead.
