"The Gospel of Garim - the oldest surviving illustrated version of the Bible. They were created between the 4th and 7th centuries in Axum (Ethiopia) in the Ge'ez language. The Gospels have been preserved for over 1000 years in the monastery of Aba Garima, located at 2000 m above sea level in the province of Tigray."

It’s Ethiopia all over again.

Bruce is losing it. He already lost Jason to Joker- yes he’s back but god Jason died that day- and now he is threatening his other kids to “stay the fuck in the house” as he loads and a cocks gun as begins to leave to where he trace the videos/recordings to after a long week. (3 days but ya know)

Jason mutters “oh so you kill the joker for [sibling who is kidnapped] but not me??”

Bruce swirls around and finally, finally, tells Jason.

“I DID! I KILLED HIM IN A HELICOPTER CRASH! CLARK BROUGHT HIM BACK BECAUSE ‘Bruce he had diplomatic immunity. You kill him, you start a war.’ AND GOD, I ALMOST FUCKING DID. I ALMOST STARTED A FUCKING WAR BECAUSE THAT SONOVABITCH KILLED MY FUCKING SON! HES NOT GOING TO DO THAT SHIT AGAIN. Not on my fucking watch. So sit your ass down and stay with your fucking siblings. Jason I swear to god if I lose one of you again, I’m going have to be put down.”

Jason just… stares in disbelief before turning to Alfred. Alfred only nods with a tight face.

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has diverted international attention from conflicts elsewhere, including those in Yemen, Mozambique and Africa’s Sahel, the region just south of the Sahara. In Ethiopia, Africa’s second-most populous nation, a bloody civil war is now in its 16th month. The fighting between Abiy’s forces and the rebel Tigray People’s Liberation Front seems at a standstill, but human-rights groups and multilateral organizations have condemned atrocities on both sides.

Caught in the middle are civilians in the northern province, who now face a calamity that is being likened to horrors of Africa’s — and Ethiopia’s — past: mass starvation and ethnocide. World Health Organization Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, himself an Ethiopian, says there is “nowhere on earth where the health of millions of people is more under threat” than the Tigray region.

Abiy’s government, which had celebrated Tedros’s elevation to the leadership of the WHO as a matter of national pride, now is trying to tar him because his family has origins in Tigray. But as well as anecdotal evidence, there is a growing body of data to support Tedros’s claim that the province is on the edge of a major humanitarian disaster.

Though the war’s true toll is impossible to know, researchers from Belgium’s Ghent University estimate as many as half a million people have died so far: between 50,000 and 100,000 from the fighting, 150,000 to 200,000 from starvation and more than 100,000 from the lack of medical attention.”
