Reports from #Arsi alleges that survivors are facing deliberate medical neglect at Gobessa hospital, including the withholding of medicine and medical personnel, denial of ambulance and hospital beds and asking exorbitant medical payments, putting the survivers at further risk.
News: More than 50 detained after burying victims of deadly attacks on #Orthodox faithful in #Ethiopia’s #Oromia
Addis Abeba — More than 50 residents in #Shirka Woreda, Southeast Zone (formerly #Arsi zone) of #Oromia region, have reportedly been detained after burying victims of recent attacks and assisting the wounded, residents told Addis Standard, raising concerns about a security crackdown in the aftermath of the killings.
The detention followed attacks by armed men in Chole and Birbo kebeles that left at least 48 people dead and more than 31 others injured, according to residents who spoke to Addis Standard. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church’s #Holy_Synod subsequently reported that 60 Orthodox Christians were killed in attacks on 20 and 24 October across two woredas in Arsi Zone.
Attempts by Addis Standard to contact the regional communication bureau for further comment were unsuccessful.

Apocalyptic Super El Niño map shows where most people will die from record-breaking calamity trib.al/Dd8lXBi
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The NY Post sensationalizes a Climate Impact Lab map as showing where "most people will die" from an "apocalyptic" calamity; the tracker estimates ~373k additional heat deaths (Oct-Mar) via statistical models vs. baseline, not certain outcomes.

🚨💔 18 DAYS UNTIL A CRITICAL HEARING: FREE DR. AUGUSTINOS SAMAAN! ✝️🇪🇬
Imprisoned for five years of hard labor for sharing and defending his Christian faith.
Dr. Augustinos Samaan, a 37-year-old Coptic Christian researcher and YouTube apologist, was arrested on October 1, 2025, after publishing educational videos about Christianity and responding to criticism of his faith.
On January 3, 2026, he was sentenced to five years in prison with hard labor under Article 98(f) of Egypt’s Penal Code, alongside charges involving social media. His appeal was rejected on February 23. 💔
But the suffering does not end with a prison sentence.
💔 His legal team says his trial took place without proper notice to his lawyers or family, and that they were denied timely access to the case file.
💔 His mother died just three months after his sentencing, leaving her son behind bars.
💔 Now, his next legal battle is approaching.
📅 NOVEMBER 15, 2026 — EGYPT’S COURT OF CASSATION
According to Coptic Solidarity, the Court of Cassation is scheduled to hear his challenge to the conviction. His defense has raised serious concerns about the fairness of the proceedings and his right to a proper defense.
This hearing could be a crucial moment in his fight for justice.
How can a government claim to protect religious freedom while a Christian scholar faces five years of hard labor for discussing his faith online?
Egypt’s Constitution recognizes freedom of belief. Yet Dr. Augustinos Samaan remains imprisoned after sharing Christian educational content.
As Christians, we believe we must never deny the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. No one should be forced to abandon their beliefs or remain silent about their faith out of fear of punishment.
✝️ Dr. Augustinos Samaan is not forgotten. His faith is not a crime. His freedom matters.
According to his own mother's words they burned his legs with cigarettes and they we're severely swollen.
His hair was lice infested
He was refused the right to wash his face.
Urinated on by other inmates because of his faith in Jesus ✝️
Beaten by other inmates because he was the only Christian in his cell .
Denied basic human needs.
All of that on top of loosing his mother and not being able to say goodbye.
🙏 Pray for our brother in Christ. Call for his immediate release, a fair legal process, and an end to the use of blasphemy laws against peaceful religious expression.
📢 Raise your voice. Share his story. Demand justice.
If not now, when? If not us, who will speak for those behind bars?
Raise your voice across the world on behalf on Augustinos Samaan

Local residents in Arsi where mass killings happened a few days ago are saying anyone in the area who picked up and buried citizens killed a few days ago, wore mourning clothes, or was a relative of the deceased is being hunted down and arrested.
Residents say the number of people arrested by local officials, accused of being 'collaborators with the enemy' and 'leaking information,' has now exceeded 100.
Addis Standard confirmed this today and published news on it, mentioning that the number of detainees is over 50:
It is now becoming crystal clear who is behind the killings?

holy f*ck, Karpathy put an entire AI degree on GitHub for free
7 repos, 306,741 stars, and in the right order they take you from backprop to agents that run research overnight
each repo is the next layer of the one before
1. micrograd -> how a neural net actually learns
backprop in about 100 lines of Python
↳ github.com/karpathy/microgra…
2. nn-zero-to-hero -> the video course
his lecture notebooks, from one neuron to GPT
↳ github.com/karpathy/nn-zero-…
3. minbpe -> how text turns into tokens
the tokenizer every LLM starts with, in clean minimal code
↳ github.com/karpathy/minbpe
4. nanoGPT -> your own GPT
the simplest repo to train and fine-tune one
↳ github.com/karpathy/nanoGPT
5. llm.c -> the same training with nothing hidden
raw C and CUDA, no PyTorch underneath
↳ github.com/karpathy/llm.c
6. nanochat -> a full chat model end to end
GPT-2 level training cost ~$43,000 in 2019
here it's about $48
↳ github.com/karpathy/nanochat
7. autoresearch -> agents that do the research
an agent edits the training code, trains for 5 minutes, keeps what improved and repeats all night
↳ github.com/karpathy/autorese…
train one GPT from scratch and you become the person who gets handed the AI project, along with the raise that comes with it
the classroom half of the same degree, what Stanford actually teaches about AI, is below ↓

Breaking News: The world needs to know what’s happening to Christians 🇪🇹🇪🇷 #jesus #christianity #christianity #ethiopia #viral
The marginalization is undeniable. Not a single #Ethiopia|n gov't official/minster has offered condolences let alone condemning the massacre and even state controlled media remain silent. That silence speaks volumes.
Political marginalization is one of the driving force behind the years of persecution endured by Orthodox Christians in #Ethiopia. In a nation where Orthodox believers form over 40% of the population, not a single senior official identifies as one of them. Coincidence?
This day last year, this little girl survived while so many other children were killed in Arsi, #Oromia. A year has passed, yet the killing of innocent children continues.
What could anyone possibly gain from taking the lives of children? 💔 #ArsiMassacre

Mind you this is only in a single zone/county
btw 4 months ago @hrcoethio investigated the situation, explicitly named around 400 massacred Christians in extensive list and urged the gov't to take action.
Nothing has been done. Things have only escalated. That tells you everything you need to know about what’s going on.
And when those in power refuse to act decisively after massacres, their silence is not mere negligence. It is a stark betrayal of equal protection and justice. Worse, they politicize the victims instead of pursuing accountability allowing impunity to persist. This is the reality!

The british broadcasting corporation trying to minimize the massacre of Christians like the partisan ghouls they are smh
More than 60 Christians killed in Ethiopia 'massacre', church official says bbc.in/4swbUDS
Just look at Hemiunu statue here, the striking portray is unlike much Kemetic royal art.
This statue and the reserve heads demand serious scrutiny. Why do we blindly trust narratives shaped by colonial era eurocentric scholars who historically marginalized African achievements?
