Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has released the signed birthday letter
from Donald Trump that Donald Trump says does not exist.
On October
23, 2020, just a few weeks before the genocidal Tigray war
sealed the fate of President Trump at the US Election, Trump remarked
that he was surprised Egypt hadn’t “bombed the hell out of the
dam.” Wow!
The dam is
expected to be commissioned on September 2025 (9/11 = Ethiopian
New Year's Day ). Everything is
planned accordingly! Will be ritually consecrated.

Ongoing
Conflict-Related Violence in Tigray Constitute Crimes Against
Humanity
In Tigray,
survivors experienced brutal and deliberate forms of conflict-related
sexual and reproductive violence which caused severe and permanent
psychological and physical harm to survivors, their families, and
communities.
“Gang
rapes, including culturally prohibited practices, raping when they
are bleeding, entering bad things like steel into their wombs, raping
mothers in front of their families. Imagine how it is, it is very sad
their children were killed and they were also raped. The damage to
their bodies cannot be described.”
multiple
perpetrator rape;
vaginal,
oral, and anal rape;
forced
witnessing of sexual violence including against family members;
insertion
of foreign objects into the vagina following sexual violence;
forced
pregnancy and forcible transmission of HIV or other sexually
transmitted infections (STIs);
sexual
violence against children; and/or,
sexual
violence committed alongside other forms of torture or killings.
Combatants in Ethiopia
have perpetrated widespread, systematic, and deliberate acts of
conflict-related sexual and reproductive violence, according to a new
report published today by Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) and the
Organization for Justice and Accountability in the Horn of Africa
(OJAH).
The new report (“You
Will Never Be Able to Give Birth”: Conflict-Related Sexual and
Reproductive Violence in Ethiopia) is the most comprehensive study to
date utilising medical evidence to understand the intent of
perpetrators in the Tigray region – documenting how Ethiopian and
Eritrean armed forces aimed to prevent future Tigrayan births and
exterminate the ethnic group – and how impunity for sexual and
reproductive violence is enabling further attacks in Amhara and Afar.
PHR and OJAH
call on all parties to the conflict to adhere to international law
and facilitate rehabilitation of survivors of conflict-related sexual
and reproductive violence. The international community must ensure
credible, independent documentation of crimes in Ethiopia and advance
full accountability for perpetrators.
Researchers
analysed an unprecedented scale of data from across the Afar, Amhara,
and Tigray regions of Ethiopia, including 515 medical records of
survivors of conflict-related sexual violence; 602 survey responses
from health workers who have treated survivors; and 40 in-depth
interviews with health workers and four focus groups with
professionals who provided care to survivors.
“After
triangulating medical records with survey data and interviews of
health professionals, we have documented the intent that perpetrators
expressed to survivors, including the Ethiopian and Eritrean
militaries, to eradicate the Tigrayan ethnic group. The ongoing
impunity for years of conflict-related sexual violence in Tigray –
enabled by the Ethiopian government and the inaction of United
Nations member states – has contributed to conflict-related sexual
violence spreading to other regions of the country, including Afar
and Amhara,” said Lindsey Green, report co-author and deputy
director of research at PHR. “The crimes we’ve documented are
harrowing and demand accountability: Perpetrators raping women and
holding them in captivity until giving birth; rape by a median of
three perpetrators at a time; foreign objects – including stones,
nails, hand-written letters – inserted inside of survivors’
vaginas.”
“In the
absence of any meaningful forms of justice and accountability,
impunity for conflict-related sexual violence is fueling a vicious
cycle of lawlessness and recurring conflict in Ethiopia. When
perpetrators face no consequences, violence is normalised, survivors
are silenced, and peace remains fragile. With conflict currently
escalating in Amhara and tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea
rising, breaking this cycle is vital not only for survivors, but for
the future of Ethiopia and sustainable peace in the Horn of Africa,”
said a report co-author at OJAH (identity not disclosed due to
security threats).
Key findings
include:
Intent to
destroy reproductive capacity: 73 percent of surveyed health care
workers in Tigray treated survivors who reported that perpetrators
used language expressing intent to destroy their ability to reproduce
or have children.
Multiple-perpetrator
rape:
In Tigray: 91
percent of surveyed health workers reported seeing patients who had
experienced multiple perpetrator rape; medical records showed a
median of three perpetrators per incident.
In Amhara: 47
percent of health care workers surveyed reported treating survivors
who had experienced sexual violence committed by multiple
perpetrators.
Unwanted
pregnancies from CRSV: 90 percent of surveyed health workers in
Tigray saw at least a few patients with unwanted pregnancy from
conflict-related sexual violence.
One survivor
had a contraceptive implant forcibly removed before sexual violence
with the intent to impregnate.
Foreign objects
and CRSV: Medical records and interviews reveal that perpetrators in
Tigray inserted objects – stones, nails, hand-written letters with
revenge plans citing previous wars – inside of survivors’
vaginas.
Perpetrator
identification:
In Tigray: 84
percent of health workers surveyed indicated survivors identified
members of Eritrean military as perpetrators. 73 percent of health
workers surveyed indicated survivors identified members of Ethiopian
military as perpetrators; 51 percent indicated Amhara militias and
Fano.
In Amhara: 79
percent of health care workers who were surveyed indicated survivors
identified Tigray Forces as perpetrators. 35 percent indicated
Ethiopian military and 24 percent indicated Amhara Special Forces.
In Afar: 33
percent of health care workers who were surveyed indicated survivors
identified Tigray Forces as perpetrators; 9.5 percent indicated
Eritrean militias.
Transmission of
sexually transmitted infections: Within the medical records reviewed
in Tigray, 50 percent of patients tested were positive for STIs and
17 percent were positive for HIV, while the national HIV prevalence
rate in Ethiopia is 0.09 percent.
The conflict in
Tigray, Ethiopia started in November 2020 between the government of
Ethiopia and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), with
involvement from Eritrean military forces who were called in to
support Ethiopian armed forces, and numerous ethno-regional militia
groups notably from the Amhara and Afar regions of Ethiopia. The
conflict was marked by widespread and severe forms of
conflict-related sexual and reproductive violence as well as other
human rights violations by all parties, some of which amount to
crimes under international law. Following the signature of the
Cessation of Hostilities Agreement in November 2022 by the government
of Ethiopia and the TPLF, violence continued, including widespread
and severe sexual and reproductive violence along ethnic-political
lines across regions by military actors.
As the conflict
unfolded, both the United Nations and the African Union established
independent investigative mechanisms to document atrocities and
preserve evidence for future justice and accountability processes.
However, both mechanisms were prematurely shuttered in October 2024,
without investigators even being allowed into the country, after
successful lobbying by the Ethiopian government to defer to national
mechanisms, including the transitional justice process outlined in
the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement.
The governments
of Ethiopia and Eritrea failed to respond to letters sharing the
findings of the report and seeking further information about the
governments’ efforts to ensure justice and accountability.
The report
confirms that impunity for conflict-related sexual and reproductive
violence in Tigray has contributed to further violence in Amhara and
Afar, where the data shows such acts constitute war crimes, breaches
of international humanitarian law, and human rights violations.
Survivors identified perpetrators from military groups including the
TPLF, who expressed intent when committing sexual and reproductive
violence related to revenge for Amhara and Afar forces actions in the
conflict in Tigray.
“Buckling to
pressure from the Ethiopian government, the UN decision to
prematurely shut down its justice mechanism emboldened perpetrators
to act with impunity – and allowed conflict-related sexual violence
to continue and spread across Ethiopia,” said Payal Shah, JD,
report co-author and director of research, legal, and advocacy for
PHR. “Ethiopians are facing a crisis: A health system still in
tatters from war; threats of conflict between Ethiopia and Eritrea;
federal government crackdowns on civil society; U.S. aid cuts
exacerbating public health crises. Survivors of sexual and
reproductive violence and the brave clinicians who care for them have
been sidelined and neglected. All parties to the conflict and UN
member states must finally prioritize healing, accountability, and
justice for sexual violence and forced pregnancy before impunity
turns to violence yet again.”
👹 Notice
how much they hate and mock us Christians: Just three days ago,
Mussolini-admirer 'Female' Prime Minister of Italy, Giorgia Meloni
traveled to Ethiopia to meet the mass sexual assaulter and genocider,
Black Mussolini, Ahmed Ali. As usual, she was greeted with a very
warm hug and a kiss by Genocidal Abiy Ahmed Ali who massacred and
starved to death up to 2 million Orthodox Christians of Ethiopia.
Officially, the two evils have met five times in two genocidal years.
No word from Meloni about this crime during her visit. She and her
European colleagues are genocide enablers. They are telling us that
they promote and support this horrendous crime against Christians.
These equally evil European politicians are more
concerned for the fate of the genocidal Arab Muslims in Gaza than the
incomparable suffering and degradation of Ethiopian Christians.

Ethiopia:
Médecins sans frontières (MSF) releases findings of internal review
into 2021 Tigray killing of three staff members.
The review
confirmed that the attack was an intentional and targeted killing of
three clearly identified aid workers.
Four years
on since the brutal killing of our colleagues in Tigray, Ethiopia,
MSF is releasing the findings of our own internal review.
Our
findings show that the attack on María Hernández Matas, Tedros
Gebremariam Gebremichael, and Yohannes Halefom Reda, was the
intentional and targeted killing of clearly identified aid workers.
MSF has
requested a formal and transparent investigation be carried out by
the Ethiopian authorities many times since their killing in June
2021.
Médecins Sans
Frontières (MSF) has published the findings of an internal review
into the brutal killing of three of our staff members — María
Hernández Matas, Tedros Gebremariam Gebremichael, and Yohannes
Halefom Reda — in central Tigray, Ethiopia, on 24 June 2021.
The review
confirmed that the attack was an intentional and targeted killing of
three clearly identified aid workers. It also established that a
convoy of Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) was present at the
time of the incident, on the same road where the MSF personnel were
killed.
María, Tedros,
and Yohannes were working with MSF to provide medical care in the
conflict-affected region of Tigray. On 24 June 2021, they were
travelling in a clearly marked MSF vehicle to a village near Abi Adi
town in central Tigray to refer patients who had been wounded in
recent fighting. During their journey, their vehicle was intercepted,
and they were killed.
Four years on,
MSF still does not have credible answers about what happened to our
colleagues, despite tireless attempts to engage with both the Federal
Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (FDRE) and the Tigray People’s
Liberation Front (TPLF) — both of whose forces were present in the
wider conflict zone.
“Despite
repeated assurances from the Ethiopian authorities that an
investigation was underway, four years on, neither MSF nor the
victims’ families have received any credible answers,” says Paula
Gil, President of MSF Spain. “We can only assume that there is
insufficient political will to share the findings of a completed
investigation.”
“In the
absence of any official account, we have a moral obligation towards
our staff and the families of our late colleagues to make our own
findings public – a necessary step to shed light on a brutal
killing that must not be ignored or buried,” says Gil.
Immediately
after the incident, MSF launched an internal review – our standard
practice following a critical security incident. The evidence
confirmed that the attack on the MSF team was intentional and
targeted. The victims — all wearing white vests clearly marked with
the MSF logo and traveling in a vehicle visibly displaying the MSF
logo and flag — were shot multiple times at close range, while
facing their attacker. Their bodies were found up to 400 metres from
their vehicle, which was burned and riddled with bullets.
“This was not
the result of crossfire, nor was it a tragic mistake. Our colleagues
were killed in what can only be described as a deliberate attack,”
adds Gil.
MSF’s
internal review also clearly established that a large retreating
convoy of the ENDF was moving south on the same stretch of road where
MSF’s staff members were killed on the day of the attack. This was
corroborated by multiple sources available in the public domain,
including media reports and open-source satellite imagery, as well as
several civilian witnesses.
Beyond the
confirmed presence of the ENDF in the area, what remains to be
clarified is the extent and nature of their involvement in the
attack. MSF received concerning witness accounts — including from
civilians travelling with the ENDF convoy in various capacities —
that directly implicated ENDF soldiers in the attack. One witness
reported overhearing a radio exchange where an ENDF commander gave
orders to “shoot” at an approaching white car and “remove
them”.
Since 2021, MSF
has held over 20 high-level meetings with officials in the Ethiopian
government and submitted numerous formal requests for a credible,
transparent investigation to be carried out, and for findings to be
shared.
“Over the
past four years, we have done everything in our power to engage
constructively with the Ethiopian authorities, including sharing the
findings of our internal review on several occasions between November
2021 and October 2023, along with supporting materials, with the
Ministry of Justice,” says Gil.
“MSF’s
review clearly demonstrates that it was — and remains — feasible
to establish the facts about the incident,” says Gil. “Given
this, and the substantiated information confirming ENDF presence at
the time of the attack, it is both unconscionable and unacceptable
that the Ethiopian authorities have consistently failed to conclude a
credible investigation and share its findings.”
MSF is making
this internal review public not only out of moral obligation, but
also to demand that governments protect humanitarian workers and
medical facilities and that those responsible for attacks on
humanitarians and medical staff are held accountable. Attacks on
humanitarian personnel are rising globally, while states increasingly
neglect their duty to investigate and prosecute violations of
international humanitarian law, and the international community
continues to look away.
The brutal
killing of María, Tedros, and Yohannes is an emblematic case of the
dangers faced by humanitarian workers. If there is no investigation
of such an egregious attack, it sets a dangerous precedent in
Ethiopia and reinforces an alarming pattern of impunity for attacks
on healthcare globally.
“María,
Tedros, and Yohannes lost their lives while helping people in
crisis,” says Gil. “They are in our thoughts every day. Their
murder must not be forgotten or met with silence. MSF hopes that by
pursuing the truth of what happened to them, we can contribute to
building a safer environment for humanitarians — not only in
Ethiopia, but in conflict zones around the world.”
