☪ Omar Artan,
who denies any association with terrorist groups, deemed threat to
national security by US government officials.
⚽ A World Cup
referee from Somalia who was denied entry to the United States was
received by a crowd of supporters and officials Wednesday as he
arrived in Somalia’s capital of Mogadishu, where he said he plans
to be at the next World Cup and urged Somali youths to be proud of
their country.
Omar Artan was
set to be the first referee from Somalia to officiate at a World Cup
after making FIFA’s final list for the tournament. He is one of
Africa’s top referees and was named the continent’s best male
referee in 2025.
He was denied
entry at Miami International Airport on Saturday over “vetting
concerns,” U.S. Customs and Border Protection said in a statement
without giving details of those concerns. FIFA subsequently cut him
from the tournament’s referee list.
Artan was
issued a visa to travel to the U.S. last week, according to the
Somalia Embassy in Kenya that processed it. U.S. is co-hosting with
Mexico and Canada, and Artan was due to meet up with other World Cup
referees at their training base in Miami.
He returned to
a hero’s welcome at the airport in Mogadishu, where he thanked the
Somali government and people as well as FIFA for their support for
him.
“I promise
you, God willing, that I will attend the next one,” he said as
hundreds of supporters at the airport waved the Somali flag. “I
want the Somali public to take comfort in this and remain confident.”
The U.S.’s
highly unusual move to deny a FIFA-appointed match official
permission to enter a World Cup host country drew outrage across the
world and raised questions among some fans about America’s capacity
to host the competition.
Somalia is one
of nearly 40 countries subject to new travel restrictions under the
Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration.
Hundreds of
supporters, government officials and members of Somalia’s football
community gathered hours before Artan arrived at Aden Adde
International Airport at about 8:30 a.m. local time.
As Artan
disembarked, supporters waving Somali flags crowded around him before
draping him in the flag.
He was then
escorted by police officers to the airport’s VIP terminal, where he
was welcomed by Somalia’s Minister of Youth and Sports, officials
from the Somalia Football Federation and other dignitaries and spoke
to press.
“It is up to
all of us to defend the Somali name,” Artan said. “Somalia
belongs to us, whether it is in a bad state or a good state. That
flag belongs to us, and that passport belongs to us.”
In a country
where decades of war and the rise of the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab
extremist group has limited the potential of many, Artan’s denial
brought disappointment to many but reminded some in the country about
what is possible if they chase their dreams.
Artan’s
expected milestone at this year’s World Cup “stands no matter
what,” the World Health Organization Director-General Tedros
Adhanom Ghebreyesus wrote Tuesday on X. “You reached the summit of
your profession and inspired a generation back home just by getting
there, and being kept off the pitch you earned doesn’t change
that,” he added.
The great famine is
estimated to have caused 3.5 million deaths. During Emperor Menelik's
Reign, Tigray was split into two regions,
one of which he sold to the Italians who later named it Eritrea.

🥴 What
is it with the Communist-Islamist alliance in the UK?
The Red-Green
alliance is not a contradiction, it is a strategic partnership
between the radical left-wing and Islamism, such as Antifa and Hamas
supporters.
Both
philosophies are inherently hostile towards traditional Western
values.
In the UK, this
is seen from the solidarity between many left-wing British
politicians and Islamist elements of the Muslim population.
It is under
this Red-Green Alliance that Britain is slowly being stripped of its
identity and culture as a result of mass immigration, demographic
changes and Islamist influence.
If this
happened to almost any other group, it would dominate headlines for
weeks.

broad daylight.
According to local church
leadership and human rights tracking, a series of coordinated
assaults beginning on May 31 have claimed the lives of an estimated
40 to 53 Christian farmers farmers dead and
forced hundreds of families to flee into nearby forests. The attacks
reportedly targeted ancestral farming communities of the Ethiopian

Edomite Romans Avenging the Ethiopia
Humiliation of 1896 Via The Heathen Oromos & Black Mussolini
Like 40 years earlier, and like today the traitor Gala-Oromo &
Oromara Soldiers were associated with the enemies and the traitors
mixed in disguise with the forces of Fascist Italy to Massacre, Gas
and starve to death million of Ethiopian Christians.
The Romans
brought another Oromo Ras Teferi a.k.a Haile Selassie into power. He
too did the Italian job for them, massacring and starving to death
millions of Northern Ethiopian Christians.
Yes,
with this the 2nd World War started in Ethiopia – and a
few years after the Ethiopia adventure, the Romans/Europeans had to
pay another heavy price for their continued Jihad against Ethiopian
Orthodox Christians. Between 1939 to 1945 some 75 million people died
in World War II, including about 20 million military personnel and 40
million civilians.
Rodolfo
Graziani: The General Who Oversaw Mass Killings That Left Thousands
Dead in Ethiopia During the Italian Occupation
Rodolfo
Graziani was one of the most violent figures produced by European
colonialism in Africa. An Italian general and senior official under
Benito Mussolini, he became notorious for directing mass killings,
chemical warfare, and terror campaigns during Italy’s invasion and
occupation of Ethiopia in the 1930s. His actions earned him the
notorious title “The Butcher of Ethiopia.”
Rodolfo Graziani
was born in 1882 in Filettino, Italy. He joined the Italian army as a
young man and quickly built a career in colonial warfare. His
reputation was formed not in Ethiopia, but in Libya, where Italy
fought to suppress resistance against its colonial rule after 1911.
In Libya,
Graziani helped oversee policies that included forced displacement of
civilian populations, mass executions, and the use of concentration
camps. Entire communities were uprooted and driven into camps where
hunger and disease killed tens of thousands.
These campaigns
established Graziani as a commander willing to use extreme violence
against civilians. This record made him attractive to Mussolini’s
fascist regime, which valued ruthless efficiency over restraint.
Italy’s
Invasion of Ethiopia
In 1935,
Fascist Italy invaded Ethiopia, one of the last independent states in
Africa. The war was partly meant to avenge Italy’s defeat at the
Battle of Adwa in 1896, when Axumite Ethiopian forces decisively
defeated an invading Italian army, humiliating Italy and preserving
Ethiopia’s independence.
Determined to
reverse that embarrassment and expand his empire, Benito Mussolini
launched a new invasion nearly four decades later. During the
campaign, Rodolfo Graziani commanded Italian forces advancing from
southern Ethiopia while the main Italian offensive pushed in from the
north.
Italian troops
encountered sustained resistance from Ethiopian forces who relied on
mobility, terrain, and local support rather than modern weapons. To
break this resistance, Italian commanders adopted methods that openly
violated international law.
Italy’s
conduct in Ethiopia followed an established colonial pattern. In
1923, during the Rif War, Spain became the first European power to
use modern chemical weapons in a war in Africa, deploying mustard gas
against Rif fighters and civilians in northern Morocco. These attacks
were carried out by aircraft, making them among the earliest cases of
aerial chemical warfare in history. African territory had already
been treated as a space where banned weapons could be tested without
consequence.
Following this
precedent, Italian forces, including those under Graziani’s
command, systematically used mustard gas during the Ethiopian
campaign. Chemical agents were dropped from aircraft and fired in
artillery shells against Ethiopian soldiers, villages, and retreating
civilians. Rivers and water sources were deliberately contaminated,
causing prolonged suffering long after battles ended. These actions
violated the 1925 Geneva Protocol, which Italy had signed.
Governor of
Occupied Ethiopia
After Addis
Ababa fell in 1936, Ethiopia was formally annexed into Italian East
Africa. Graziani was appointed Viceroy and Governor General, giving
him both military and civilian authority.
Resistance did
not end with the occupation. Ethiopian patriots, known as the
arbegnoch, continued to attack Italian positions. Graziani responded
not with targeted security measures, but with a policy of terror
aimed at the civilian population.
Villages
suspected of supporting resistance were burned. Civilians were
executed without trial. Entire communities were punished for attacks
they had no role in. Violence was not accidental or uncontrolled. It
was deliberate policy.
The single
event most closely tied to Graziani’s name occurred on February 19,
1937, known in Ethiopia as Yekatit 12.
That day, two
young Eritreans attempted to assassinate Graziani during a public
ceremony in Addis Ababa. He survived with injuries. His response was
immediate and devastating.
Graziani
ordered massive reprisals against the city’s population. For
several days, Italian soldiers, colonial troops, and armed settlers
carried out killings across Addis Ababa. People were shot, stabbed,
or burned alive. Homes were set on fire. Bodies were left in the
streets as a warning.
Contemporary
estimates range widely: Ethiopian sources claim up to 30,000
civilians were killed, while later scholarly estimates suggest tens
of thousands may have perished in the repression.
Summary
executions continued for weeks, with at least 1,469 people executed
by the end of the following month and over a thousand Ethiopian
notables imprisoned or deported.
Italian forces
gathered residents of Addis Ababa and ordered house-to-house
killings, including women and children. Many were shot, bayoneted,
stabbed, or burned alive.
This massacre
left an enduring scar on Ethiopian collective memory and cemented
Graziani’s reputation as a perpetrator of colonial genocide.

Evil Ahmed's Italian Babysitter Meloni 'Celebrates' Easter, not In
The Vatican, Rather in Mecca
💭 Three Sri Lankan citizens who were reportedly abducted
shortly after arriving in Ethiopia have been rescued safely following
a multi-agency security operation that led to the arrest of six
suspects.
The three men had traveled to the country in late May in search of
employment opportunities. Shortly after their arrival, they were
allegedly taken against their will and held at a separate location
while their captors demanded a substantial ransom for their release.
Authorities launched an investigation after the disappearance of the
individuals was brought to the attention of local police by the Sri
Lankan Embassy. The case prompted a coordinated response involving
several Ethiopian security and intelligence agencies.
Investigators utilised digital tracking and intelligence-gathering
techniques to trace the whereabouts of the victims, eventually
locating them at a residence in the town of Shashemene in the Oromia
region. Security personnel subsequently carried out a raid on the
property, successfully securing the release of all three hostages
without reported injuries.
Six individuals were taken into custody during the operation. Those
arrested include two Oromos and four Pakistani citizens who are
suspected of involvement in the abduction and ransom scheme.
Authorities allege that the group had demanded approximately USD
90,000 in exchange for the victims’ freedom.
Reports indicate that the Sri Lankans were allegedly transported from
the airport shortly after landing and held in captivity until law
enforcement officers intervened. Investigators are continuing to
examine the circumstances surrounding the incident, including the
recruitment arrangements that brought the victims to Ethiopia.
The rescue operation was carried out through the combined efforts of
national intelligence services, federal law enforcement agencies,
cyber-security specialists and regional police units.
The Sri Lankan Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the three individuals
were released following a joint operation conducted by Sri Lankan and
Ethiopian authorities. Arrangements are currently being made to
repatriate them to Sri Lanka.
According to the Ministry, the victims, who are residents of Jaffna,
had traveled through Ethiopia while attempting to reach Canada
through illegal migration channels.
The three had reportedly informed their relatives that they were
being held captive by a criminal gang in Ethiopia, which had demanded
a ransom in exchange for their release.
The victims had arrived in
Ethiopia on May 23 for work opportunities before being taken directly
from the airport in a Suzuki vehicle with a Code 2 license plate.
The investigation began on
May 26, 2026, after the Sri Lankan Embassy reported the disappearance
of the three individuals to the Bole Sub-City Police Department.
In Ethiopia's Illegal Oromia region, Christian
communities—particularly followers of the Ethiopian Orthodox
Tewahedo Church—have faced recurring incidents of targeted
violence, kidnappings, and massacres. These attacks, largely
attributed by rights groups and local church authorities to the
Regime-affiliated Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) or other unidentified
armed Oromo Jihadists, have resulted in dozens of abductions,
displacements, and casualties.
Recent
notable incidents and targeted areas include:
Arsi Zone: This area has been a major flashpoint. Armed Jihadist
groups have repeatedly abducted and killed Orthodox Christians,
burned historic churches, and displaced thousands of residents.
Just Last
week, on May 30, 2026:
• 53 Orthodox
Christians were massacred by Oromo
Jihadists.
• The 101-year-old St.
Gabriel Church in the Asko district was torched.
• 280 Houses of Orthodox
Christians were burned.
• The Oromo
Jihadistsalso looted properties and
livestock of the victims.
North Shewa Zone: Over 56 passengers were abducted from a public
transit bus en route from Addis Ababa to Debre Markos, in an attack
that also left multiple people dead.
Zequala Monastery: Armed militants raided the Zequala Abune Gebre
Menfes Kidus Monastery in the East Shewa Zone, kidnapping and
subsequently killing four priests, while injuring another.
While some local congregations have established community defense and
neighborhood watch programs, both Ethiopian Orthodox leadership and
Catholic bishops have continuously appealed in vain for government
intervention to restore law and order.
In late 2019, 17 to 27 university students fleeing ethnic violence at
Dembi Dolo University in Western Oromia, Ethiopia—were abducted by
armed Oromo men while traveling to Addis Ababa. The exact fates and
whereabouts of a significant number of the students still remain
unresolved. But The whereabouts of the Sri Lankan Citizens was traced
effectively within three days of their alleged abduction.
