Today there has been another massacre in Etiopia.


Today there has been another massacre in #Etiopia. The details are unclear, but authorities should have shot (the Alert) shots and tear gas against a large crowd at a religious festival in Bishoftu. It was highlighted political opposition, and when it started. BBC has reported 50 dead perhaps, but it may involve a much higher number, 300 hundreds. I warn against horrific images. The image of the West's great passivity in relation to human rights violations in Ethiopia, and direct support with enormous financial contributions to the regime, is overstated. Massacre Ring can continue almost unnoticed, because the West has found a partner in the ruling regime.
Ethiopian regime forces massacred hundreds of Oromos at the annual Irreecha celebration.
Attack helicopters from the sky and the notorious TPLF-Agazi forces from the ground unleashed live bullets against millions of unarmed Irreecha festival participants in Bishoftu (Debre Zeyit).
