(LIBERTY UNYIELDING) – Ethiopia is Africa’s second most populous country, with over 100 million people. In the past, Ethiopian troops helped the U.S. fight Islamic terrorists in neighboring Somalia. But now, it looks like Ethiopia’s capital may fall to rebels in a civil war. The CNN reports:
"Troops allied against Ethiopia’s central government are on the outskirts of Addis Ababa, a diplomatic source told CNN Wednesday, a day after authorities announced a nationwide state of emergency and called on citizens to take up arms to defend the capital.
"The spreading conflict comes as the United Nations condemned possible “war crimes” uncovered in a joint investigation into the bloody year-long war in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region. The highly anticipated report was published almost a year to the day since Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed ordered a military offensive against Tigray’s ruling party, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). Twelve months on, the fighting has left thousands dead, displaced more than 2 million people from their homes, fueled famine and given rise to a wave of atrocities.
