🚨 URGENT ACTION ALERT: The Ethiopian government must stop forced evictions and halt the Corridor Developmental Project and conduct and review of the compliance with international human rights standards. Take Action Now: https://t.co/LtjSzoEpP4 #StopForcedEvictions#EndImpunity
Another horrifying crime against humanity! Today, over 120 innocent Amharas were murdered in a drone strike personally authorized by the tyrant Abiy Ahmed Ali. Why is the world silent? @amnesty@hrw@SecRubio@antonioguterres @KarimKhanQC @TuckerCarlson
An unconfirmed report that today, 17 April, more than 120 civilians were killed by drone strikes in Enarj and Enwga in Gojam in the Amhara region of Ethiopia, in addition to thousands of recent killings. Time for international action to end these atrocities
@martinplaut Great article. Please Have a look on one of the enabling factors for the Fanos resistance movement; which is “the cumulative marginalization, discrimination, mass killings and displacement of Amharas primarily in Oromiya rigon and also some in southern region.”
Bus Ambushed En Route to Addis Ababa from Bahir Dar
- Passengers Killed and Abducted in latest North Shewa Attack
(Meseret Media)- A passenger bus traveling from Bahir Dar to Addis Ababa was ambushed today in the North Shewa Zone of the Oromia region, near the town of Gohatsiyon.
According to information obtained by Meseret Media, armed attackers intercepted the bus, opened fire, and reportedly killed some passengers. Others were taken into the nearby forest.
Local sources also indicated that some individuals managed to escape, and federal police forces have arrived at the scene and are reportedly engaged in a standoff with the attackers.
A social media page called “Voice of Drivers” confirmed the incident, stating that the attackers hijacked a bus full of passengers traveling between Gohatsiyon and Tulu Miliki and took them away.
This comes just two weeks after a similar attack in the same area, where 58 people were abducted between Fitche and Gohatsiyon.
Reports at the time indicated that members of the armed group known as OLA (Oromo Liberation Army) demanded up to 1.5 million birr per hostage for their release.
The previous kidnapping occurred on March 17, but so far, neither government media nor officials have commented on the attack, leaving families of the victims devastated.
Some are now going door to door seeking donations and appealing for help via social media.
This route has seen repeated ambushes, and the area is known to be a safe haven for the OLA, which continues to operate widely in the region.
