SAUDI ARABIA ― The ethnic violence and hatred among some Ethiopian ethnic communities has apparently crossed borders, following migrants thousands of kilometres from Ethiopia into the deserts of Saudi Arabia.

Even places where people fled hoping to escape violence and poverty are now being dragged into the nightmare.

The darker feud now emerge between "𝐀𝐫𝐬𝐢 𝐎𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨" and "𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐎𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨" communities, who live as immigrants in Saudi Arabia, have reached a terrifying level.

According to social media reports circulating on TikTok, more than seven migrants from the Arsi and Wello Oromo communities have killed each other in an ISIS-style knife attack.

The horrifying act of decapitation was streamed live on TikTok where victims were reportedly forced to chant “Arsi King” by the Arsi group and “Wello King” by the Wello group before being killed.

Pure evil.

Egyptians https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/egypt in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) https://www.middleeasteye.net/countries/uae face fears over their long-term residency in the country after a number of nationals had their permits cancelled earlier this month.

Several Egyptians living and working in the UAE have reported https://www.newarab.com/news/egyptian-w ... ions-mount that their residency permits were unexpectedly revoked, leaving them unable to return to their jobs.

Posts shared online also suggest that a new Police Clearance Certificate requirement for Egyptian work permits may be complicating plans to change jobs or travel to Egypt, even though no official change in UAE residency rules for Egyptian nationals has been announced.

The New Arab reported that Mahmud Adel, a 33-year-old schoolteacher, travelled to Egypt in July for his annual holiday and was preparing to return to Sharjah three weeks later when his employer informed him by email that his residency had been cancelled.

This was shocking, because the administration didn't mention any reasons for the residency cancellation,

Adel told the publication.

The report also quoted 36-year-old interior decorator Abdel Rahman Ahmed, who said he discovered his residency had been cancelled when he arrived at Cairo Airport to return to Abu Dhabi after spending time in Egypt.

At first, I couldn't believe it, but I tried to contact the company in Abu Dhabi,

Ahmed said.

Ahmed said company officials did not answer his calls, bringing an abrupt end to his eight-year career in the UAE.

Other Egyptian workers have reported similar experiences on social media, with fear spreading among employees, forcing many to reconsider travelling home.

I’m scared that if I travel anywhere, I’ll be one of the unlucky people,

a user wrote on the social media platform Reddit.

Some expatriates and business owners have also decided against travelling to Egypt for fear that they could lose their residency status before returning to the UAE.

According to the Egyptian diplomatic mission in Abu Dhabi, some 1.3 million Egyptians were working and living in the UAE by the end of 2024.

Egypt received https://english.ahram.org.eg/UI/Front/I ... tID=572551 $43.1bn in remittances from its expatriate community in the first 11 months of the fiscal year 2025-26.

The two countries have been close allies for years, and the Gulf state has been a major investor in the North African nation.

However, there have been splits over regional issues, including in Sudan, where they supported opposing sides of the conflict in the country.

Middle East Eye contacted the Emirati embassy in London for comment but had not received a response by the time of publication.

The Arsi Galla worked really hard to radicalize Wollo Kemise Oromos. They succeeded partly but a good number rejected it. As a result, the Arsi Gallas started to behead the Wollo Kemise Oromos and the Kemise Oromos retaliated

Galla is alarming the world on its barbarity as it alarmed the east African region 400 years ago.

America makes its move to counter Europe’s most powerful military as it expands into Africa with 6 new military bases and a stealth fighter jet deal

The United States is shifting from monitoring Russia’s expanding military presence in Africa to building a new strategic response.


America makes its move to counter Europe’s most powerful military as it expands into Africa with 6 new military bases and a stealth fighter jet deal

• The US is shifting from monitoring to actively responding to Russia's increasing military presence and influence in Africa, particularly in Libya.

• Russia has expanded its network of military bases and assets in Libya, upgraded facilities, and increased deployments of troops, equipment, and advanced weapons.

• Algeria, a regional rival to Morocco, has received a significant arms buildup from Russia, while France and Europe are losing influence in the Sahel, creating opportunities for Russia and China.

• The US is positioning Morocco as a key long-term security partner in Africa, supporting it with advanced weaponry and considering a strategic F-35 fighter jet deal.

For years, the US has warned that Moscow is using security partnerships, military contractors and arms networks to expand its influence in Africa.

That concern has intensified as Russia deepens its footprint in Libya, where it is expanding operations across several strategic airbases and positioning military assets closer to North Africa’s Mediterranean corridor.

Washington now appears to be betting on Morocco as a long-term security partner capable of countering Russia’s growing influence while strengthening American access to one of Africa’s most strategically located countries.

Russia builds a North African military network

Russia’s expansion in Africa is part of a wider strategy that began taking shape years before its current military push in Libya.

Moscow has been weaving a web of influence since 2017 and 2018 to serve its new agenda of confrontation with the West,

Le Monde reported.

The US first raised concerns over Russia’s military activities in Libya in 2020, https://www.businessinsider.com/photos- ... ?r=US&IR=T accusing Moscow of deploying fighter aircraft to support the Wagner Group, a Russian-backed military contractor that aided Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar’s forces. A UN report later estimated that up to 1,200 Russian mercenaries were operating in the country.

More recently, Business Insider Africa https://africa.businessinsider.com/loca ... -a/x0x4mz4 reported that Moscow has been expanding its activities across six Libyan airbases, including Jufra, Al-Khadim, Ghardabiya, Brak Al-Shati, Maaten Al-Sarra and Tamanhint.

The facilities are being upgraded with improved runways, aircraft shelters, warehouses and accommodation areas, while the deployment of fighter jets, drones, air defence systems, personnel and military equipment strengthens Moscow’s ability to move forces between North Africa and the wider Sahel region.

The urgency has particularly grown as Russia has armed Morocco’s regional rival Algeria with advanced Su-34 and Su-30 fighter jets, S-400 and S-300 air defence systems, and other weapons systems, making Algiers one of Africa’s most heavily armed militaries.

At the same time, France and other European powers have lost influence in parts of the Sahel, creating space for Russia and China to expand their access to Africa’s strategic resources, including gold and uranium.

Washington turns to Morocco as a strategic defence partner

The stakes are rising, and Washington is now looking to utilise Morocco as a strategic military partner, with the long-sought F-35 fighter jet deal potentially becoming part of the next phase of the relationship.

The move is particularly significant as President Donald Trump reshapes Washington’s military posture, including plans to reduce troop deployments in Germany and shift some forces to countries such as Poland and Africa.

Against this changing security landscape, Morocco’s location gives it a strategic advantage for the US, placing the kingdom between Africa, Europe and the Atlantic Ocean while keeping it close to the Mediterranean and Europe’s southern flank.

US expands military cooperation with Rabat

Recently, the US Senate Armed Services Committee has introduced a provision in the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act directing the Pentagon to develop a 10-year roadmap aimed at making Morocco America’s leading military partner in Africa.

The partnership is already backed by billions of dollars in advanced US weapons, making Morocco one of Washington’s most heavily equipped defence partners in Africa.

Morocco operates F-16 Block 72 fighter jets and has received precision weapons, modern battlefield systems and advanced surveillance technology.

Washington has also approved the sale of RTX FIM-92K Stinger Block I anti-aircraft missiles in a deal valued at $825 million, covering up to 600 short-range missiles.

The US has further approved the sale of 36 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters in a package worth about $4.25 billion, alongside HIMARS rocket systems estimated at $524 million.

The cooperation also includes Abrams tanks, Patriot missile systems and other advanced targeting capabilities, strengthening Rabat’s military position as Washington expands its strategic partnerships across Africa.

The creation of the Africa Military Technology Experimentation Centre (AMTEC) near Tan-Tan in southern Morocco expands the kingdom’s defence technology capabilities by providing a platform for military testing and experimentation.

The facility has already attracted US defence activity, with startup Covenant Industries recently conducting a live-fire test of its Anthem long-range cruise missile near the site.

Morocco’s role is further strengthened by hosting African Lion, one of the largest US-led military exercises in Africa, which analysts say could increasingly shift from broad regional training to a more focused US-Morocco military partnership as the race for influence intensifies
