Abiy Ahmed's Oromuma Led Regime Bloodies Adwa Celebration

And Again Defiles the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church

"...Stand firm, your faith will save you!!!...St. Giorgis the Martyr will save you…they shall pay for what they are doing to us"

It was not enough that Abiy Ahmed’s extremist ethnic Oromo ultra nationalist faction attempted and failed to usurp the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church last month and murdered over 50 (fifty) EOTC faithful and injured hundreds (100s) more. On March 2 nd 2023 it severely and cruelly blackened the 127 th celebration of the Battle of Adwa victory at Menelik square. The regime opened live fire, shot smoke bombs and deployed troopers with armored vehicles & weapons on peaceful citizens who were gathering to celebrate the festive event. Uniformed and heavily armed regime thugs entered the compounds of St. Giorgis church where the faithful gathered (as they did in the over a century old yearly prayer services) and continued to beat priests, women, children and the elderly. 1 (one) person ( a physics teacher) is confirmed dead and more than 300 (three hundred) mostly church attending women children and the elderly including priests and nuns were injured, with some passing out from toxic gas bombs lobbed at them while they were all in prayers.

This is a continuation of the five-year reign of terror by Abiy’s Oromuma ethnic apartheid extremists and their war on the Amhara people, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and the rest of Ethiopia. Time and time again we have witnessed these types of planned and coordinated attacks on peaceful citizens and the Orthodox Tewahedo Church across the country. Whether it is the regime backed ongoing genocide of the Amhara people across the so-called Oromo region and other parts of Ethiopia, or the self concocted war between Abiy’s regime and it’s progenitor the now defunct TPLF, it is estimated that over 1.2 million Ethiopians have died and the Amhara, Afar and Tigre regions have 50 years to build back. This expansionist ethnic apartheid regime and it’s tribal ideology must be halted by the Ethiopian people.

APU calls for the Amhara people and all other Ethiopians to stand up against the illegal Oromo Liberation Front regime in a peaceful mass civil disobedience campaign.
APU condemns the ongoing attacks on the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church which is part of a systematic plan to destroy the Orthodox faith worldwide, as we have clearly observed in other countries. We therefore urge the faithful in Ethiopia & in the diaspora, as well as all other concerned institutions to continue to stand together in solidarity as always in condemning Abiy Ahmed’s anti-Orthodox, anti-Amhara, anti-historic institutions, and anti-citizens regime.
APU condemns the illegal and criminal actions committed by the regime on peaceful church celebrants of the feast of St. George and on the celebration of the 127 th year victory commemoration of the battle of Adwa and holds the ultranationalist Oromo extremist Prosperity Party regime directly responsible for these criminal acts and as such face prosecution to the fullest extent of the law
APU urges all donor nations and institutions to demand the dismantling of the Ethiopian ethnic apartheid constitution that has been forced upon the Ethiopian people since 1991 by withholding funds just as they have done to the Apartheid regime of South African before engaging in any direct economic assistance or loans, since this regime is engaged in an economic suffocation on non Oromo ethnic groups in the country by uprooting and bulldozing thousands of homes and businesses. (Donor nations should not empower dictatorial and tyrannical regimes)
APU condemns the regime’s planned and instigated criminal act on March 2, 2023, at Menelik square, where peaceful citizens were assaulted for the color of the cloth, they displayed on their garments celebrating their patriotic love for Ethiopia and the forefather’s victory at the battle of Adwa in 1896.
Whereby the decisive victory of Ethiopia at the battle of Adwa and the color green yellow red is embraced and celebrated internationally, baring citizens within Ethiopia form wearing this color or baring citizens from mentioning the name of the great Emperor Menelik II and Empress Tayitu that resulted persecution, death and bodily injury of hundreds of citizens is deplorable, APU not only condemns the barbaric act but equates the regime’s and it’s political cadres criminal action no less than that of the fascist invaders of 1896
APU recognizes and proudly celebrates Emperor Menelik II and Empress Taitu not only for leading Ethiopia at the battle of Adwa to victory but also as beacons of modern civilization that initiated Ethiopian transformation to modernization more than any leader in their time.
APU condemens in the strongest term the regime's use of war, violence, and starvation in all circumstances as a means to achieve its Ethnic Apartheid and expansionist ideology or false prosperity hope by intentionally creating a most impoverished country through genocide and displacement to subdue all other ethnic groups.
We urge the international community and media to be cognizant to the call of Amharas, the EOTC faithful and all Ethiopians, as the tyrannical genocidal regime of Abiy Ahmed has gone out of control with its hands wet with the blood of innocents and it’s destabilization of the country and region.
