#Daily_Brief: #US condemns targeted killings of #Orthodox faithful in #Ethiopiaโs #Oromia; #UK offers help investigate
The federal government has not publicly acknowledged the killings, while the #Oromia regional government spokesperson attributed the attacks to what officials refer to as โTsimdo,โ a term officials often use to describe armed groups opposing the government.
The attribution could not be independently corroborated.

Our comprehensive efforts to sustainably ensure our country's peace and security have reached a new milestone today. The state of readiness being built within Ethiopia's defense forces is endowing the nation with the capability to preemptively deter aggression.
In accordance with our prior agreement with the Russian government, we have today taken delivery of the first twelve Su-35 4++ Generation fighter jets. Additionally, Ethiopia will receive four S-400 air defense system batteries.
I would like to express my gratitude to my friend, Russian President Vladimir Putin, for his dedication in ensuring we received these warplanes a year ahead of our agreed schedule. By equipping itself with these fighter jets, Ethiopia has taken the lead among Sub-Saharan African nations.
This historic achievement further strengthens our nation's sovereignty, and it will serve as a massive capability boost that allows us to confidently continue our journey toward ensuring our collective security and regional stability in the future.

Ethiopian currently operates Su-27SK, Su-30K, and Su-35S.
Each of them is painted in its own unique camouflage pattern.
It's not clear why they didn't paint them all the same color, but the main thing is that they look great.

#Ethiopia, the scale of the #TPLFโs fall from every meaningful form of power has not yet been fully digested, even by those of us who have closely studied the party, its monopolization of political authority, and the extraordinary psychological control it exercised over society for decades.
Whatever residual political, organizational, or financial weight the TPLF may still retain, it is increasingly difficult to imagine that weight translating into a return to meaningful political or military control. Commanders are surrendering. Fighters are laying down their arms. Structures once considered immovable are unraveling with astonishing speed. Assumptions that shaped #Tigrayโs politics for decades are collapsing almost in real time.
What is unfolding is not simply a military setback or another temporary reversal. It increasingly looks like the disintegration of an entire system of power.
The speed is extraordinary. The consequences will be historic.

I admit, I am slowly beginning to struggle to map it all out in my mind. A regional war of massive proportions.
With all eyes on the war in Ethiopia, the RSF stepped up its operations from Ethiopia this week. That included capturing the border area of the Kadalo mountains in eastern Blue Nile and launching drone attacks on mosques, state officialsโ houses, fuel depots and military sites in the regional capital of Damazin.
But fighting may soon spread beyond Blue Nile. An RSF source and a source informed of the groupโs operations told Mada Masr that RSF troops have been transported from Darfur to Addis Ababa, from where they will be sent north in preparation to open a new front in Gadarif.
