<<... There were approximately 11,902 polling stations across the Amhara region. Of those, only 326 polling stations—approximately 2.7 percent—were reported to have conducted voting activities.>> AFNM
For the past eight years, the Amhara people in Ethiopia have been systematically targeted based on their ethnic identity and subjected to killings, abductions, sexual violence, and arbitrary detention. This pattern of violence has led to an estimated tens of thousands of civilian casualties. The tightly knit genocidal structure that the regime of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has created to "exterminate" Amhara identity all over Ethiopia must be dismantled.
The @LemkinInstitute renews our call on the international community to end its complicity with the Abiy regime and exert sustained pressure on the Ethiopian government to ensure the protection of all civilians and dismantle its genocidal apparatus, which it has been using against any population it views as threatening for almost a decade.

In today’s Ethiopia
“journalists often disappear mysteriously nowadays, taken by unidentified men to undisclosed places on suspicion of unspecified crimes.”
Scores of Ethiopian journalists have been arrested, beaten or forced into exile. Many foreign reporters have been expelled. The government promises more persecution https://t.co/oX6UytD8xN
