As we launch our association, we join the global call for #AmharaGenocideAwarenessMonth . Advocacy is at the core of our mission. We stand with the victims and their families in their pursuit of truth and lasting peace.
And with the labels came the lies, the slanders. The steady, sleazy rewrites of Ethiopian history disguised as "scholarly reinterpretation." It's still going on today. Because to erase a people, you must first dehumanize them.
Some idiot in the LA diaspora community whom I don't even know sent me a DM out of the blue: "You still claiming Abiy Ahmed is committing genocide against Amhara? You lost me when you did that."
As if the choices of our ethical beliefs should be to win a popularity contest. 🤦♂️
HORROR from @UN_HRC member state Ethiopia, fascist PM Abiy has launched drone & artillery attack against Amhara people today in Amhara region, Ambassel county killing,so far confirmed 12 souls,as young as 2yrs #AmharaGenocide@SecRubio@realDonaldTrump
Despite the genocidal regime of @AbiyAhmedAli committing war crimes using drones on Amhara civilians @DCP_Haddadi serves this regime as a cover using @_AfricanUnion as a tool. Betrayal & corruption of AU is being paid by innocent lives
#AmharaGenocide
Fano’s struggle is rooted in historical reality, not abstraction. Recognizing Fano as the central pillar of Amhara resilience and identity is not a negation of other ethnic groups but an acknowledgment of who has borne the greatest sacrifices in building and defending Ethiopia. If anything, it is an invitation; an invitation to all Ethiopians to share their own stories, to honor their own heroes, and to join in the fight against tyranny and injustice in whatever form it takes.
However, let us speak plainly. Every so-called liberation front in Ethiopia has begun by singling out the Amhara people as the enemy, laying the groundwork for ethnic demonization, mass killings, and systematic exclusion. The TPLF enshrined this hatred into law, institutionalizing Amhara marginalization under ethnic federalism. The OLF and its Oromumma offshoots have carried this torch, unleashing unimaginable horrors on innocent Amhara civilians while the world remains silent. Today, under Abiy Ahmed’s genocidal rule, the mass executions, drone strikes, ethnic cleansing, and destruction of Amhara villages continue at an unprecedented scale.
Fano is not a vague revolution without context. It is the voice of a people who have faced extermination, forced displacement, and betrayal, yet continue to rise. The broader Ethiopian struggle for justice cannot be built on erasing Amhara suffering or diluting the significance of those who have fought at the frontlines. A true Ethiopia will only emerge when each people’s history is told honestly, and each sacrifice is recognized without distortion.
Call for action.
In the United Kingdom, even a single act of sexual harassment in the workplace can lead to dismissal, prosecution, and public disgrace. Rape is punished with the full weight of the law, and rightly so.
Yet, as reported on 19 November 2025 by the BBC - https://t.co/HU3RSCrRsa - thousands of Ethiopian women and girls—some as young as 8 and others as old as 65—have been subjected to mass rape by soldiers under Abiy Ahmed’s command.
Just a couple of days later, on 22 November 2025 in Johannesburg, British Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was photographed shaking hands with Abiy Ahmed—a leader whose regime uses rape as a weapon of war.
How can Britain, a nation that prides itself on zero tolerance for sexual violence, extend the hand of friendship to a man whose soldiers commit such crimes?
This handshake is not diplomacy—it is complicity.
We call on all Ethiopians and friends of Ethiopia in the UK who are outraged by these crimes to copy this message and send it to your constituency MP. Demand that your MP raise this issue in Parliament.
On my part, I have already sent this message to my MP, the Honourable Sarah Olney, MP for Richmond.

5 years later, we remember….
MAI KADRA, ETHIOPIA - MARCH 05, 2021: Agere Getnet weeps in front of a tomb containing the remains of her husband, Tebekaw, 37, his little brother, Alie Abere, and his nephew, Aynew Mulat, located among the mass graves at Abune Aregawi Ethiopian Orthodox Church on March 5, 2021 in Mai Kadra, Ethiopia. All were killed during the attacks on ethnic Amhara in Mai Kadra that took place from November 6 through 10th, 2020. According to the mayor of Mai Kadra, Charu Hagos, and the head of the Kebele 01 administrative area, Abrihu Fantahun, the mass graves at Abune Aregawi contain over 1,300 (now over 1600) ethnic Amharas who were killed during a series of attacks by a TPLF (Tigray People’s Liberation Front) Youth Group known as the "Samri," TPLF militia and local Tigrayan police from November 6 to November 10, 2020. During that period, Samri youth from several towns in Tigray, in addition to TPLF militia and local police, killed farm workers on farms owned by TPLF-affiliated farmer/investors before moving onto Mai Kadra itself, conducting door-to-door searches for ethnic Amharas. Most victims were slashed or hacked; many victims who survived the initial attacks with bladed weapons were shot to death. The dead were found in the streets, in ditches, in holes dug by TPLF officials, and strewn throughout the farmlands where they worked. As of early March 2021, remains of those killed are still being discovered in and around the city of Mai Kadra. The violence occurred during a wider conflict between the Ethiopian government and the TPLF that ignited on November 4, 2020, when forces aligned with the TPLF attacked the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) Northern Command headquarters in Mekelle, the capital city of the Tigray region and 4 other ENDF military bases and numerous soft targets.
