750 Ethiopians Massacred in Attempt to Steal Ark of the Covenant

 The aim of the massacre is likely to have been to steal the biblical ark allegedly housed there and to wipe out the Tigray culture.

 Addis Ababa (kath.net/mk) Around 750 people were killed in an attack on a Christian Orthodox church in Ethiopia, which, according to the tradition of the Ethiopian Church, is supposed to house the Ark of the Covenant.  According to the Book of Exodus, this contains the two stone tablets with the ten commandments.  The massacre took place in the Tigray region in the north of the country, which has become a theater of war after a political uprising by the ruling party against the state government. "The Christian Post" reported on it.  The Ethiopian Prime Minister ordered a military attack, which was also supported by Tigray's archenemy, Eritrea and according to humanitarian organizations is still going on.

“The government and Eritrea want to wipe out the culture of Tigray.  They think they are better, ” is how Michael Gervers, history professor at the University of Toronto, explains the true background of the ethnic conflicts.  Hundreds of people who sought refuge in the church were escorted out and shot.  The attackers' aim was presumably to bring the Ark of the Covenant to the capital Addis Ababa, but they did not succeed.

The Ark of the Covenant presaged the tabernacle and Real Presence. It is no accident that the pontiff refuses to bow and genuflect before the tabernacle. He says that he has problems with sciatica.---Coming out of high school, I carried a fractured disk from football. I had plenty of problems with sciatica. I could still genuflect and did.

The "Christian Post" is a Protestant medua source. And it, like many of these upholstered armchair pseudo-intellectual know it alls, sit high on a chair and like to Pontficate about things things only really understand superficially.
The situation in Ethiopia is not as discribed. First of all, Eriteans do not want to destroy the Trigray, because Eritea is a mostly Tigray State. It's official language is Tigray. This Michael Gervers history professor should not be allowed to teach "African History", since he does not even know the first thing about this situation.
The Tigray in general, are very intelligent, and have a long history of experience in political administration and government. During the years of rule under Emperor Haile Selassie, many of the Tigray elites were attracted and embraced to Marxism. This was because of Leftist anti-Colonial global ideologies prevalent after the Second World War. This was because the Western leftist intellectual universities were teaching the young and wealthy families. But also, the USSR was inviting youth to come study during the cold war. The USSR was also looking for ways to get into Africa. Aided by the Soviets and Westen radical education they overthrew the Regime of Haile Selassie and a military officer by the name of Mengistu HaileMariam. He was backed by the Soviets. But the principal group in the Communist Party (called the D.E.R.G. Party) were naturally, the experienced Civil Servants and Government Leader class, the Tigray tribe. They later staged a coup and kickef him out, because he was a Stalinist Communist, and his strict discipline afforded them little prospect for continuing their traditions of nepotism and cronyism and intraTigray Tribal monopoly of government jobs. The Tigray could not afford a Stalinist, so they sacked Mengistu, and he exiled to Zambia. The Tigray replaced him with a postCommunist "reformed" Marxist, Meles. While at the same time, the Tigray also separated and carved out a separate State for itself, Eritea. A year or two ago, the Tigray clique controlling the government were outmanuvered ousted by surprise. Once out of power, the previously government positions were redistributed to all Tribes, including Oromos and Amharas. This caused a backlash and several attempts to stage coups and ultimately this past year, finally they attempted outright civil war and secession, including treasonously selling promises to Sudan, in exchange for military support.
That stupid professor either knows nothing or is being purposely disingenous slanderous,and malicious. It is the Tigray rebels, that are putting in danger and destroying common Ethiopian Civilization as vengeance and bitterness. While I don't fully agree with the globalist economy that Prime Minister Abiy is trying to tie Ethiopia to, the Tigray rebels, by contrast, seek to drag the country into civil unrest, if they are not able to get their nepotistic Marxist Regime back.

It doesn't sound like you have any firsthand information that would explain the situation, Constantine. It looks like you endorse the Stalinist leadership of Eritrea and support the ethnic cleansing of Tigray.

Constantine said...

The government of Eritrea may be Stalinist, but they were the allies of Prime Minister Meles, and Meles was Tigray, and also Eritrea is Tigray. It is not "ethnic cleansing", because they were the ones in Ethiopia who started "ethnic cleansing" of the Amhara and Oromo first. It is the Ethiopian neoCon government of Prime Minister Abiy that gave them many chances to surrender and stopped the many attempts to assassinate him, and stopped the several attempts by blow up the Rensussance Dam. Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy asked them to lay down their weapons even when they threatened Civil War. Abiy prevented the Tigray Stalinist State from coming back.

Does anyone know the location of the warehouse in the Indiana Jones movie where they took the Ark?

Thanks for posting this Tancred. Censorship in the Press is intense even in Ethopian

Press there was silence. They have a new female President and Cabinet though.

So your account doesn’t really dismiss that the Tigray could be targets of Eritrean and Ethiopian hostility. Thanks!

Tancred said...

Thanks, anon!

The press has been unfair to Ethiopia. The idea is to have Ethoopia fall unto globalist hands. Prime Minister Abiy is the second Prime Minister of Ethiopia that is nonMarxist, and tried to break down against the racial/ethnic divisiveness that the Marxist Tigray Liberation Peoples Front had been bringing into government to divide and conquer and cause all tribes to hate each other in order for Tigray marxists to maintain a political monopoly of control.
The recent civil war between Ethiopia and the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front. Not against all Tigrays. Against the marxist ones, who brought in the years of Stalinist dictatorship. The Eritreans are part of the original Tigray marxist coalition. When marxists won, there was intraMarxist disagreements and Eritrea and Ethiopia were split. But recently, the new Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy made peace with the Eriteans. When the Tigray requested and invited help from Islamic revolutionaries in Sudan, Ethopia asked Eritrea for help, because they are now at peace. The Tigray Marxists in Ethopia, over the years, had managed to take over control of 90% of military weapons and technology and transport it into Tigray Peoples Liberation Front's Tigray province. When the Tigray Marxists declared independence, the Tigray had most if the weapons, and assumed PM Abiy was checkmated and forced to surrender. But he asked Eritrea for weapons, and Eritrea gave it to Ethiopia. The Tigray then gave Ethiopian lands that belonged to the Gambela Tribes to Islamic Sudanese in exchange for more weapons. But the Tigray Liberation Peoples Army was still defeated. And now Ethiopia, and all its tribes are living peacefully with each other. The Eritreans returned to their territory. And now, the big problem is war between Islamic antigovernment Sudanese rebels who had been given Gambela lands by the TLPF, aided by pockets of leftover TLPF resistance.

The Tigray are not all Marxists. Just as the Black Americans are not all liberal. Although there are enclaves where tribes live in, there is a large intermingling and intermarriage. If one goes to marketplaces or schools in big cities they are living side by side. The Tigray that are targeted are those who are suspected of involvement with the Marxist Tigray Liberation People's Front. This is not ethnic cleansing but rather selective political crack down. No Ethiopian I have ever met would even think about wiping out the Tigrays. And the Tigray people are the back bone of civil service and government. Everyone looks up to them. All tribes work and go to school together. There is no tolerance anymore for the TPLF. This organization has got to go if the country can move forward.
And the Church and Sanctuary housing the Srk of the Covanant is sacred to all except Marxists.Even the Muslim honor the Ark. It is a symbol of unity of all peoples and Faiths in Ethiopia. No Tigray, dear Tancred, view the Tigray with hostility, except for the TPLF. But who needs this Marxist trash? Let the Communists be dead on the past. It's time to move forward. But the Leftist professors and UN wants to hold onto this, because these Keftist globalists want to have a say as to what happens, keep countries divided and forced to resort to outside globalist control.

Democrats are doing do the same thing to decent Americans. Thousands are killed every year by violent recidivist criminals that the corrupt marxist American courts wont keep incarcerated. America's way overpaid police have given up enforcing the penal code on people of color, there is more law and order in Ethiopia than in most American cities run by Democrats.

3:33, Chad is open for people like you who are seeking refuge from the deadly situation here in the USA. I understand Trump is seriously contemplating the move. Chad needs a top grade hotel and golf course.

Tancred said...

Why go to Chad when you can get all that by living in any major metropolitan area in the West? Just go to London, Gaybrielle.
