#Tigrayan forces executed dozens of #Amhara civilians in #Chenna and #Kobo towns, underscoring need for UN rights body to set up international probe into abuses by warring parties & deter further atrocities in expanding #Ethiopia conflict - new @HRW https://t.co/i7LusJgu9s
.@AFP (@rcoreyb) reports on Lalibela which was recently liberated from occupation by TPLF fighters: "Rebels looted homes and health facilities, while residents lost touch with the outside world due to cuts in transportation, electricity, banking and communications."
“Looters from rebel Tigrayan forces held aid staff at gunpoint in the town of Kombolcha, the United Nations said. They stole large quantities of essential food supplies - including some for malnourished children.”

AAA has been working with House & Senate leadership to amend language in House NDAA version to reflect atrocities against Amhara & Afar by TPLF & OLA or to remove the section. The text has been removed in its entirety in the final NDAA negotiated version.

Thank you @AAA_Amhara!I am pretty sure they were taken aback by the breath of fresh air your views were. Not just me, me, me, me like #TPLF and #OLF interest groups! We are all about 'live and let live'! Simply a principle to which all peace loving forces subscribe. #Ethiopia
Great job @AAA_Amhara for meeting PDAS Massinga & @AsstSecStateAF and voicing the concerns of #Amhara|s. #Ethiopia|an-American community should be proud to have professional advocates on their behalf.
AAA would like to thank PDAS Massinga for taking the time to meet & discuss the ongoing humanitarian & political crisis faced by Amharas in Ethiopia. AAA looks forward to working together to address these issues.

If the Tigray People’s Liberation Front is allowed to shoot its way back into power, Ethiopia may fragment into warring ethnic fiefdoms, and the country will again become a scene of apocalyptic suffering, @AddisuLashitew writes.

We will be monitoring this event closely to see what @ChrisCoons and @SenThomTillis have to say, if anything, about atrocities against #Amhara|s and Afars as a result of the war. Both Senators are supposedly aware of the details of the situation.
Brutal ethnic conflict & humanitarian disaster in #Ethiopia continues to threaten the stability of East Africa.
Today at 3PM ET, I’ll join @SenThomTillis@nimaelbagir & the Yale Genocide Studies Program to discuss the crisis.
