This week Be’aman Netsere, a seasoned Orthodox Church scholar, & Yared Shumete, a humanitarian, published their travel experiences about the war in #Tigray.
Both raised facts Ethiopia needs to reckon with.
Most important, Be’aman confirmed the #Axum & #Dengolat massacres.

He also captured pics of Eritrean forces freely roaming near the Axum obelisk.
But it’s what he said about the deafening silence of the EOTC both on the massacres & the wanton destruction of its own holy sites that needs to be paid the at most attention, imo!

Yared too raised important factors that need a collective reckoning: the psychological trauma the people of #Tigray are enduring as a result of this senseless war & his fear on whether they will make the annual walk to Adewa in connection with the March 02 Adwa Victory Day.
Both accounts laid bare the pain of the people of Tigray.
But for any historian the hardest part will be reconnecting the historicised Ethiopia & its narrative as an ancient Kingdom of Christianity & Civilisation (Axum),which is ruptured by the collective denial of the massacre

and the historicised narrative of Ethiopia as the uncolonised black Africa (Adwa) a location & history that symbolised freedom through unity, which is now ravaged by foreign occupying forces & is inaccessible for Ethiopians!
📌Ethiopia will reel from the consequences of both.
