“Brave” Ethiopian Airlines 787 Lands In Hong Kong Ahead Of Typhoon
Typhoon Saola is approaching Hong Kong, and it’s expected to be the worst storm Hong Kong has seen in five years. Ethiopian Airlines flight ET608 from Bangkok (BKK) to Hong Kong (HKG) landed in Hong Kong at 5:06PM. For what it’s worth, this Ethiopian Airlines flight was operated by a three year old Boeing 787-9 with the registration code ET-AXK. The plane took off from Bangkok at 2:46PM Hong Kong time, so that was over an hour after the previous plane even touched down in Hong Kong. What do you make of this Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787 arrival in Hong Kong?

Ethiopia: Amhara Genocide and the Threat of Civil War 😀
First, and most shocking is the genocide of Amhara people living in Oromia, which has been going on for the last three years or so. Thousands of Amhara civilians have been killed, over two million displaced, homes and land stolen. And in a brutal act, typical of genocide elsewhere, pregnant Amhara women are specifically targeted; their stomachs stabbed, babies murdered. This despite the fact that much of the 2020-2022 war took place within Amhara (as well as Afar). He made a brave speech in parliament against the proposed State of Emergency in Amhara and denounced the government’s violent actions towards Amhara people.

Defense Chief claims “victory” over Fano forces , “support from the public”
Defense Chief of Staff, Field Marshal Berhanu Jula (photo: PD)borkena“The radical force has reached to a point where it can no longer be a threat,” is what Berhanu Jula, Defense Chief of staff, said in a statement aired by state media, EBC. “Ethiopia’s Defense Chief of Staff, just like Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and his Prosperity Party officials, is painting FANO rather banditry and a representation of radicalism. His view does not seem to reflect reality on the ground as Fano forces are enjoying broad based support in the region and beyond. At the same time, he is calling on Fano forces to “surrender peacefully,” and that “assistance” will be provided. The Ethiopian Defense Force is accused of targeting civilians, including with artillery shelling, in urban centers in Amhara region.
