Ethiopian Jews demand Israel rescues thousands from war-torn Gondar
Israel carried out a rescue operation on Thursday, evacuating over 200 Israeli and Ethiopian citizens from Ethiopia due to violent clashes between the Ethiopian Army and the FANO militia. Three planes transported Israeli citizens, Jewish Agency staff, Project TEN volunteers, and eligible immigrants to Israel. The operation was a joint effort between the Prime Minister's Office and The Jewish Agency, led by Jewish Agency security officers.

Suspected air strike kills 26 in Ethiopia's Amhara region
NAIROBI (Reuters) - A suspected air strike at the weekend in Ethiopia's Amhara region killed at least 26 people, a hospital official said on Monday, as a state-appointed rights group detailed widespread killings of civilians since fighting broke out this month. Ethiopia's government denies the allegations by Fano, an informal militia that backed federal forces during the Tigray war. Spokespeople for the government, the military and Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed did not respond to requests for comment on Monday about the suspected air strike or EHRC's statement. The suspected strike hit the town centre of Finote Selam on Sunday, said the hospital official, who asked not to be named for security reasons. The hospital official said four people died at the hospital and another 22 either at the scene or on their way to hospital.

Ethiopian police arrest hundreds during state of emergency
Authorities in Ethiopia are carrying out mass arrests of hundreds, even thousands, of people in the capital after deadly unrest in the country's Amhara region, lawyers and witnesses said. Under the previous state of emergency imposed during the Tigray conflict, tens of thousands of ethnic Tigrayans were rounded up across the country. This time, "there has been widespread arrest of civilians who are of ethnic Amhara origin," the state-appointed Ethiopian Human Rights Commission said Monday, calling on the federal authorities to cease the detentions. Another man said his brother was arrested in Addis Ababa a day before the state of emergency was declared and is being detained at a school with several hundred others. The federal government said only 23 people have been arrested under the state of emergency in Addis Ababa.

EDITORIAL: Little Ethiopia shows U.S. is a beacon of hope
Those who think America is systemically racist need to visit Little Ethiopia in Las Vegas. (Bizuayehu Tesfaye/Las Vegas Review-Journal) @bizutesfayeLeftist critics who relish attacking the United States need to visit Little Ethiopia in Las Vegas. Little Ethiopia, situated between Twain and University avenues and close to Decatur Boulevard, is Clark County’s first official cultural district. Little Ethiopia stands as a powerful rebuke to those who minimize the success of the great American experiment. Despite efforts by leftists to tear it down, this nation remains a beacon of hope for the world.

War crimes , genocide in Bahr Dar, Debre Berhan, Gondar Ethiopia…
Remarks by Aklog BiraraPrime Minister Abiy Ahmed compounds Ethiopia’s agony by deploying tanks, other heavy weapons of war as well as helicopters and drones to attack the most populated cities in the Amhara region—Bahir Dar, Debre Berhan, Debre Tabor, Gondar. Casualties include children and the elderly, who have nothing to do with the war in the Amhara region. In one tragic situation in Bahir Dar on August 8, 2023. a father and his sons going to church were slaughtered by Abiy’s army. The international community, especially the USA, has an obligation to rebuke the use of drones by Abiy Ahmed’s cruel and barbaric regime. I also urge you to listen to a BBC broadcast whose essence Yuri Tadesse captured on Twitter.

“Never Again” 1948 ‘’Until Next Time “: in Ethiopia
For most of Amharas what happened in Germany in 1941 to 1945 is exactly what is happening today in Ethiopia. The persecution of Amharas in Ethiopia began with the government of TPLF under PM Meles Zenawi and reached this stage under PM Abiy Ahmed who personifies Adolf Hitler. This is very familiar for Amharas because Abiy Ahmed has said it in a different way. Like Hitler Abiy is an orator who thought he knew what his audience wanted to hear and how to package it with lies. Stand by the Amharas and the integrity of Ethiopia and you will save Africa and the world from an unprecedented calamity.
