Muslims not Allowed to Break their Fast in Addis Abeba

I can tell you many christians too are angry at today’s event and are siding with our Muslim brothers.

Here is some background.
The Meskel square in Addis Ababa was traditionally owned by the Orthodox church. Meskel means cross and the place got its name from the yearly Orthodox Meskel festival that is always celebrated at that place for a century.

Due to the traditional ownership and the religious connection of the place to the place, no Muslin celebration was held at Maskel square as far as I can remember. Muslims traditionally held their events at the stadium not far away (<1km) from Meskel square.

But It seems for the first time Muslims wanted to hold Iftar at the traditional Meskel square but the Orthodox church protested and sent a letter to the Addis Ababa administration. The Muslims ignored the church and went with their Iftar anyway but were forced to leave the place by the police. In a city with more than 75% christian (according to the last census) and just one month away from election, the authorities seem to be nervous and sent the police to remove the Muslims from Meskel square. This of course understandably pissed the Muslims off and they protested and the police used tear gas to disperse the crowd. It was not a big protest and it seems it was quickly over and I don’t expect too much trouble.

But many christians and medias in Addis are also angry at the church and are siding with our Muslin brothers saying this Meskel square is a public place and no religion should claim sole ownership. Many residents are also angry at the authorities for send the police to stop a peaceful meal celebration. They are siding with the Muslin brothers saying they were not violent and were just celebrating Iftar peacefully. It seems the monopoly of Meskel square will not be held long as many Addis Ababans and the private media in the city are against public places being exclusively used by a religion institution. The Muslims are also winning huge sympathy for staying peaceful and asking their citizens rights.

It’s somehow weird that currently public street Iftars are being held all over the cities in the so called “conservative christian” Amhara region including Bahr Dar, while Muslims in the most liberal city of the nation are being refused to hold public Iftar at Meskel square.

Public Iftar in Dessie, Amhara region.


Are you in Ethiopia right now? Can you tell me about this whole Tigray genocide that is supposedly happening? And yeah Ethiopia can never have a religious conflict that would be way worse than these ethnic conflicts it has it will really destroy it.

What a bunch of nonsense. The square is public government maintained property. Nobody cares about the churches history there it is public. The Muslims of Addis Ababa pay their taxes like everyone else and have every right to celebrate whatever they want in public land. That same square has held concerts the ireecha festival and all kinds of activities but its somehow a problem when Muslims do?

The fact that the church can basically command security forces in the capital to violently attack fasting Muslims with tear gas and rubber bullets shows what is already known about Ethiopia. It is a country and people that have always been hostile to Muslims.

Showing us yes centuries old Amhara Muslims celebrating in their own land like its something impressive shows how out of touch you are.

After the pressure it was getting from the media, the Addis Ababa administration has now allowed Iftar to be celebrated at the Meskel square tomorrow. Great news! We can't allow a public place to be only used by some religious institutions. Public places are for all events, whether it is christian, Muslim, political rallies, music concerts or whatever, every citizen has the right to hold its gathering at the Meskel square. Thanks to the medias for standing with our Muslim brothers and thanks to our Muslim brothers for having kept the protest peaceful. I'm expecting 10k celebrating Iftar at Meskel square and breaking the record held in Egypt (7k).

Christians in Kenya or Tanzania or Uganda are 100 times better than Ethiopian christians they are revyr tolerant and humble.
Ethiopian christians especially the Towhedo Copts think they are privileged more than muslims and can act and insult the muslims the way the want it was last year where there was a conflict when they hung a crucifix in the fence of a mosque and angered muslims.

Then you hold 3 days procession in Jigjiga which is not a religious festivity but an ultra nationalist procession which means they own the land and are insensitive about the hisory of the region not knowing that however much they sanctioned Genocide in the region we muslims and somalis came out stronger.

Its only during TPLF rule of 30nyears that muslim feelings have been accommodated under Haile Selaise Islam was marginalised and oppressed you were just a muslim by name.

Funny thing is we dont even share border with this xabashis.
They share border with Sudan.
Amhara have always shared border with Sudan just like Tigray.
The mahdi taught them a vital lesson by beheading the terrorist Yohanes who was forcing muslim populations of wollo to embrace christianity or face death.

They become bolder when the British,French and the Russians came to aid them.They took their anger on oromos killing millions before they were aided in ransaking harar and butchering its civilians.

Then 1954 the British transfered the Ogafen region to Ethiopia just like the did to Eritrea.

When you look at the xabashi mentality they always display hatred for muslims especialy somalis and theybthink somalis only reside in Somalia( a region the white man curved out and took the rest and gave it to Kenya and the largest chunk to Ethiopia).

These coward amharas could not even fight second invasion of Italians in Ethiopia and the British had to kick out Italians from Ethiopia and brought back Haile selasie who was a refugee in UK.Then 1977 when somalia gave Then a proper beating only to be saved by more than 20 nations.

you know both stalin and truman rejected somaliweyn when the brits wanted it (to be under their aministration)? maybe the only place uncle sam and soviets were on the same page in the cold war. jimmy carter said galbeed was ethiopian.

If you see any amhara supporting 1977 war or Karamada.He is by default supporting Mengistu and thus we are on the same page as we support Mengistu for starving to death on of the greatest tyrants aka Haile Selaise who he buried under the toilet or under his office.

Quite well, compared to monarchies like Saudi Arabia where the law of the state is religious law, there are no churches and Christianity is clandestinely professed

Because there is no christians in Saudi just like there is no muslims in the vatican.

But Ethiopia its different because the muslims are more than christians and also amhara is not the most populous ethnic group you make around 25% of the Ethiopian population.
Dont confuse Ethiopia with Brazil they aint the same.

Public Iftar in Dessie, Amhara region.

somehow it's a problem for christian if muslim want hold iftar in 1 street of the capital but ok to to hold christian holidays in all Jigjiga forcing muslim to close there shops? no amount of damage control can spin this hypocrisy.

It is seen that you hate the Amhara a lot, what does it matter which religion they choose. what's the rush for them to adopt a new religion like yours?

Amhara are full of bigots like you who are uneducated about the reality and should be put in their place.
Amhara muslims have been muslims for centuries and its not like they are converting now its just that your churches and the monarchy tried to silence them however much they could.


Secondly we didnt adopt Islam we were muslims for a millenium probably before even amhara become christians because your entire history starts roughly after 10th or 11th Century AD.Before that history it was the Tigrayan Axumite christian kingdom who were very tolerant to Islam.

You need to.stick to brazilian politics you have been fed alot of pathological lies in your life.
Also knowing the nature of a hyena doesnt mean that you hate a hyena but you are protecting yourself from it.Amhara is like a hyena you seem to suffer from amnesia of all the genocide you folks committed under the amhara name or the church.You even have your own kind of christianity which your clerics created faking history and giving you the right to ethnic cleanse ethnic groups which amhara clergy sanctioned.One fake history is of oromo comming from Madagascar.

ussr saw the derg as communist and real marxist leninists unlike the kacaan which branded itself as socialist but did its own thing similar to the ba'ath and socialist egypt. and the soviets didnt think the eritrean rebellion would succeed. muslim governments embracing atheist communism would be suicidal. afghan government was overthrown.
After watching Ethiopian events in 1975–76, the Soviet Union concluded that the revolution would lead to the establishment of an authentic Marxist-Leninist state and that, for geopolitical purposes, it was wise to transfer Soviet interests to Ethiopia.
