I have been exposed to 10,000s, if not 100,000s, of horrendous images over the past 15 months. But, this image is the most perfect representation of what Ethiopia means to #Tigray!

Ethiopia has always laughed at, smiled, and enjoyed the agonies of the people of #Tigray following the heinous atrocities she would inflict on them generations over generations.

In the image, this innocent #Tigrayan boy has no strength even to hear the barbaric woman soldier giggling let alone to hear the gunshots.
So, this is Ethiopia - a country of the most cruel & treasonous people on earth who would let their fathers, mothers, sisters, ...

Practically, they are the most hypocrite people who have two faces. For God, they are "the most humble" and for their own people, they are the most cruel.

But God says, "if you don't love the person whom you can see, you can touch, and you can hear, how dare you claim that you love me while you can't see & touch me nor can you hear me?"
Alas, it's because this is Ethiopia!

🛑A polite warning🛑:
No one can be more Ethiopian than me and dare to say "you can't describe Ethiopia in this way". If anyone ever tries to do so, then I will lecture them about Ethiopia beyond they would be able to carry.

The type of Ethiopianism I valued and grew up idolising to was not about narrating history but about how much I as a person valued every individual human being.

I say, you have a zero say on my choice whether I would like to continue being an Ethiopian or not, never can you open your mouth on me, never.
Mind your business!

All that has happened over the past 15 months is so horrendous but this is Ethiopia -- a land of hypocrisy, religion-sugarcoated cruelty, & uniquely glorified fascism -- where religion is not a means to bring people closer to their Creator but a tool to disseminate fascism.
