Ethiopian's have spoken #NoMore in a rally condemning US treatment of Ethiopia

ADDIS ABABA, NOVEMBER 07, 2021 – Hundreds and thousands of Ethiopians came out to the streets in Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa, on Sunday, denouncing the United States' (US) treatment of Ethiopia and condemning disinformation campaign waged against Ethiopia by international media such as CNN.


The rally was also intended to show support to the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) and condemn the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) terrorists and their backers.
 
In spite of the orchestrated international media disinformation campaign claiming Addis was uneasy, citizens of Addis Ababa came out to show to the world that things are not as the media depicts it to be. CNN recently released news saying that the TPLF terrorists were in the outskirts of Addis Ababa which led the U.S. Embassy in Addis to call on its citizens to leave the country. However, most Ethiopians saw this as unnecessary fear mongering. 
 

Some of the demonstrators were carrying signs which read #NoMore, a Twitter hashtag used by pro-Ethiopia activists on twitter which Twitter Inc recently disabled claiming that its 'dehumanizing'. Twitter Inc also conducted heavy crackdown on pro-Ethiopian activists, suspending the accounts of many who were resisting disinformation and terrorism in their homeland.

The protesters, in addition, to condemning the international media, they were also denouncing U.S.’ action against their country.
 

Some of the signs that the protesters carried read “USA Bad! If you want to leave your embassy we will use the land for development”.
 
During the rally, Mayor of Addis Ababa, Adanech Abiebie, sent out stern messages. "They forgot we were the children of Adwa yet they want to threaten us with AGOA", she said.
 
On November 02, U.S. President Joe Biden removed Ethiopia from the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) trade agreement while on the same day terrorists were threatening to throw their full on Addis Ababa after killing hundreds in Dessie and Kombolcha. This is seen by many Ethiopian as a let down by the U.S.
 
President Joe Biden was targeting only Ethiopia’s democratically elected government with sanctions leaving the TPLF, despite the joint investigation carried out by the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) and the Ethiopian Human Rights blames the terrorist group for atrocities in Tigray.

Nevertheless, referring tot oday's rally, the Government Communications said "Let this be a sign to the international community. The people have spoken. Ethiopians are ready sacrifice themselves for the welfare of their nation. They will not tolerate undue interference in their affairs. They have spoken that they condemn the TPLF terrorist and its extremist partners."

Ethiopian Muslims Protest Over Demolished Mosques By Government

Addis Ababa – As Ethiopian Muslims completed their Friday (Jum'a) Prayers, May 26, they began denouncing government decision to demolish more than 30 Mosques in the newly established Shaggar City, formerly Oromia Special Zone Surrounding Finfinne. Addis Ababa Police attempted to storm the Anwar Grand Mosque amid protests on Friday. But the police angered the Muslims inside who saw the police's move as an attempt to desecrate the holy place. This forced the Muslims to throw stones at the police pushing them out of the Mosque. In a statement released on Friday, Addis Ababa Police said that two were killed. Although the statement did identify the victims, they were later identified as Siraj Mohammed and Abubaker Elias.

                                      ADDIS ABABA – Oromia Regional Government said in a statement today that the demolishing of illegal housing taking place in the newly formed Shaggar City does not target Mosques. This statement came amid the destruction of another Mosque at Ajamba, at the outskirt of west Addis Ababa. In the statement, the regional government stated that the demolishing of illegal houses is planned to take place around 600 cities in Oromia. "Some groups are painting as if the demolishing of illegal houses targets one single religion", said Hailu Adugna, Communication Office Head, Oromia region. "When we are implementing this decision, many interest groups are disseminating information as if we are targeting one ethnicity and one religion. This is wrong.", said Hailu Adugna.
