Kirollos Abdalla is on the Middle East beat

By Kirollos Abdalla — A community in Jos, Nigeria, was burying seven slaughtered by Fulanis in a mass grave when the jihadists showed up the next day May 6 and killed more from among the mourners. “They come in slaughtering women and children, slashing the brains of babies and the bellies of pregnant women, pulling out their embryos, their fetuses, and smashing them on the walls, all while shouting Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!” says Truth Nigeria reporter Masara Kim. The onslaught targeting Christians in Barkin Ladi Local Government Area of Plateau State is part of the Fulani herdsmen, many of…

By Kirollos Abdalla — At first, it was TikTok and Instagram. Then it was grifters Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson. Can it get any worse? Aparently it can. Now people are forming their worldview and understanding of politics from… LEGOs. Yes, from Legos. A daily, high-quality AI-generated Lego short is portraying Trump as a pig, the Jews as blood-drinkers and Iran as the quintessence of righteous resistance. It’s pure propaganda, and it’s aiming for Gen Z and Gen Alpha who don’t have the time to actually read a book or do research about international relations and origins of…

By Kirollos Abdalla — An angry youth flashed a gun and demanded the pastor shut up at a recent funeral service in Detroit on March 28. “I just knew I was going to be shot,” said Pastor Darthanian Nichols of Breaking Chains Outreach Ministries. The young man in the casket was reportedly killed as a result of gang violence, and the youth who threatened him certainly seemed like a gang member. But instead of getting shot, Pastor Darthanian was able to defuse the situation and even wound up getting a dozen people saved afterwards. “I remember when I was that…

By Kirollos Abdalla — Way back in 2017, Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the foreign minister of the United Arab Emirates, warned Europeans: “There will come a day that we will see far more radical extremists and terrorists coming out of Europe because of lack of decision-making… trying to be politically correct.” His warning went unheeded. First the Syrian War brought in a flood of Islamists disguised as refugees, and the Labour Party in the UK catered to some of their radical sentiments — only to outdone by the even more Left Green Party (mirroring Zohran Mamdami new mayor of…

By Kirollos Abdalla – When Mohammad got saved in Gaza, he started loving Israelis. “You’re my man in Gaza,” Jesus told him in a dream. “Tell everyone about me.” Mohammad has been outreaching to Gaza before the war, during the war and after the war, reports Tom Doyle, who heads an outreach to Muslims. Mohammad got saved because his wife got saved. Sharin (not her real name) was in a refugee camp when Tom and his wife, JoAnn, met her. Her one ambition in life was to one day own a laptop. Tom and JoAnn got her the laptop, but…

By Kirollos Abdalla — There may be no need to send boots on the ground to ensure regime change in Iran after all. That’s because the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps is now fighting themselves, as hardliners challenge the guys who want to negotiate with Trump. The speaker of the Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf — himself a hardliner who has a long history of cracking down on protesters and opposing compromise on the nuclear program — is now portraying himself as a reformist going to Pakistan to negotiate with Trump’s team during the ceasefire. Meanwhile back home, IRGC harder-liners are accusing…

Counterpoint By Kirollos Abdalla — Ever since 2002 when Iran decided to acquire nuclear power, the United States and the Islamist Regime have been hurtling inexorably and unavoidably towards war. Obama tried to avoid it with a deal that only kicked the can down the road. But by intelligence estimates, Iran is close to making a nuclear warhead. They just demonstrated they can reach Europe with two Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles launched against the U.S.’s Diego Garcia base in the Indian Ocean. But after Iran launched 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles and 120 ballistic missiles a year ago against Israel, it…

By Kirollos Abdalla — Lashing out as they go down, the Iranian Regime struck residential neighborhoods in Riyadh in Saudi Arabia and a liquefied natural gas export terminal in former friend Qatar. Qatar expelled Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps officials and personnel. They had been granted safe haven in the most bizarre nation in the Middle East — bizarre because it is both pro-Western and pro-terrorist. It host the U.S. largest military base and Hamas and IRGC officials. Playing both sides did not go well. Aside from Saudi Arabia and Qatar allying up with the United States, Iran has a second…

By Kirollos Abadalla — A cluster munition warhead — banned by 110 nations* because they hit civilians — fell on Eilat, southern Israel, today, injuring a 12-year-old boy and a 39-year-old man. The Iranian missile was likely struck down by Israel’s anti-missile technology, but its cluster feature meant mini explosive still could blow up. By contrast, when the U.S. hit Shajarah Tayyebeh girls’ elementary school in Minab, Iran, killing around 175, mostly children, on Feb. 28, U.S. Senator John Kennedy apologized for what later was blamed on faulty intelligence: “I think it was a terrible, terrible mistake… I’m sorry it…

By Kirollos Abdalla — The end is near for the Iranian Regime. Shortly, the Iranian people will need to take possession of leadership of the country. But in the meantime, they are gathering on rooftops and hilltops, singing songs, strumming guitars and enjoying the show. “We have more videos of the Iranians enjoying their life and watching the Israelis and the Americans destroy the IRGC,” says reporter Mayhar Tousi. “They basically go on rooftops, they go to on mountains, they go to balconies, have a drink, play music and watch the fireworks.” President Trump said 80% of Iran’s military capabilities…
