Poor Agames, begging and seeking sympathy from your white masters; making up fake stories to eat up their hearts LOL.
You should have known your size before you provoked the mighty Shaebia and got completely decimated as a result.
Hope that thought you a very good lesson for a very long time to come

'Don't Shoot,' Ethiopian Father Begged Eritrean Soldiers, Daughter Says

By Reuters, Wire Service Content March 26, 2021

ADIGRAT, ETHIOPIA (Reuters) - Fourteen-year-old Mibrak Esayus recalls the day last November when she says Eritrean soldiers burst into her home in Ethiopia's Tigray region and killed her mother and father.

It was 10 days into Ethiopia's military campaign against fighters from the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), the region's former ruling party, following their surprise assault on federal army bases in Tigray.

The family heard shooting outside their home in the town of Zalambessa, on the border with Eritrea, from around dawn, Mibrak said. Eritrean soldiers burst in around midday.

Her father, a priest at the local Ethiopian Orthodox church, begged them "Don't shoot," she told Reuters.

"They shot him in the chest with three bullets ... Then they shot my mama in her back."

Mibrak said she was shot in the thigh as her five younger siblings, aged from one to 12 years old, screamed in terror. The soldiers yelled at them to be quiet, setting a haystack alight as they left, she said.

Mibrak is among more than two dozen civilians in Tigray who told Reuters they had been victims of, or witnesses to, shootings, gang rapes and looting by Eritrean soldiers.

Reuters verified parts of Mibrak's account with her aunt and uncle, now caring for her and her five siblings; through her medical records at a hospital in Adigrat, the nearest major city; and with parishioners from her father's church who said they attended her parents' memorial service.

Ato Weyni,
It's so sad to see the the good name of the Eritrean people, "the upright people", being dragged through the mud along side barbarians and war criminals thanks to Issu & Co.

Eritrean forces killed unarmed Tigray civilians, new report says
"...A new report by the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) says Eritrean troops killed unarmed civilians in the historic town of Aksum in Tigray, piling accusations of atrocities on Asmara.

The document released on Wednesday morning reports of incidents when armed Eritrean troops went from house to house asking for men and boys from villages. They then shot them, it says..."
