This is just a warm up for what to follow. It is the first course that will be too big/wide spread through out that country except in Afar and Somali regions. That is what you call ‘liberating’ people according the working protocol of the byproducts of those commies from the 1960’s and 70’s. They will kill just for fun, kidnap and burn down homes when they feel like it. This is just a rehearsal before they come to town and pay residents of Addis/Finfine a heck of a visit. Why not? They have their buddies in the law enforcement and they are being counseled and represented by college professors here in the West. Why not? They seem to be enjoying it! Again, they will kill, torch and kidnap just because they can. My advice to our countrymen/women who have plans to travel to Amhara, Tigray and Oromia regions still stands. You will be a big trophy for these demons. Stay safe.
