Toronto – At least 43 civilians are reportedly killed in the latest string of drone strike in the Amhara region of Ethiopia.
Activists with links to the Amhara region of Ethiopia on Tuesday reported the incident occurred in the South Achefer area of Gojjam. Details of the attack are not available at this time. However, graphic images purportedly showing bodies of the victims from the attack are circulating on social media.
Ethiopia Media Service (EMS) has reported it has received information about the attack. However, it did not share more details about it.
Similar drone strikes are reported in North Shoa, Debre Berhan area.
On Monday government forces carried out a drone strike in Basosa area – which is about 22 kilometers from Debre Berhan Town. It occurred around 3 p.m. local time. According to EMS, a residential home was damaged in the attack and one civilian was killed.
In Angolala area, also close to Debre Berhan, Sholamba Primary School was hit. A Fano Abdela Indris, one of the leaders of Fano forces in Shoa, has confirmed that one civilian who was near the school was killed in the attack.
The leader also told EMS that the government has banned the distribution of medical supplies including drugs to the areas that are under the control of Fano forces. In his latest interview with Anchor Media, Fano Abdela Indris said about 50 percent of Kebeles near Debre Berhan are under the control of Fano forces.
The Ethiopian Defense Force has not remarked about it in this writing regarding the incident in the Debre Berhan area. However, it has been making new claims that it is gaining significant victory against what it calls “extremist” forces – a reference to Fanos.
It made claims that Fano forces “are retreating and dispersing.” The claim does not seem to align with intensifying drone attacks in Gojjam and Shoa.
On going Fightings between Fano and Government Forces
Meanwhile ,there are also reports that the fighting between fano forces and government forces continued in many areas of the Amhara region of Ethiopia.
EMS reported intense fighting near Finote Selam. However, it indicated that Fano forces have not yet controlled the town.
Intense fighting has been also reported in South and North Wollo areas.
New video footage is circulating on social media purportedly showing newly captured government forces.

For those and of us who had the privilege and rights to vote today, whether we favored the winner or the loser, our vote has counted. There are many things that need to be attended to domestically and lets hope the elected officials will get together to address them. As far as the foreign affairs, I had more confidence in Trump to produce an accord and bring peace among those on war footing in the Middle East. The Abrahamic Accord was achieved during his first presidency. I hope he will also help find peace for the besieged people we all left behind.
We condemn the killings of innocent civilians, our people., in the Amhara region.
Abiy Ahmed must step down.

Former President Donald J. Trump addressed the evangelical Faith & Freedom Coalition in Washington on Saturday, presenting himself as a champion of religious freedom and a martyr for Americans…
Trump Promises to Bring About a New Era of Christian Power
PROTECTING RELIGIOUS FREEDOM: Throughout his tenure as President, Donald Trump has been a champion for religious liberty in the United States, restoring the ideals that have undergirded our Nation’s freedom and prosperity since its founding.
Trump has flip-flopped on where exactly he stands on the issue of abortion over the years. Although he said in a 1999 interview on NBC News’ Meet the Press that he was “very pro-choice,” by 2011, he described himself as “pro-life.”

He stood in front of the church holding a Bible, posing for what would become one of the most iconic images of his presidency. He briefly spoke about safety and the United States being the greatest country in the world.
The next day, Trump released an executive order on international religious freedom. It urged federal officials to prioritize protecting people of faith in their work overseas and mandated additional training on religion for U.S. diplomats.
“Religious freedom, America’s first freedom, is a moral and national security imperative,” the order said.
