#BRICS leaders are all strong. They have strong military capabilities. They have a strong military force. There is no race politics in their country. However,@AbiyAhmedAli is leading the country along ethnic lines, declaring war on the Amhara people and talking about BRICS.
#AmharaGenocide in #Ethiopia
@UNHumanRights@UN@MikeHammerUSA
Unlike other regions, where diaspora can invest & build; the #Gurage region's wealth is siphoned off to far-away SNNP capital, never seen again. The region has been deprived of growth for decades. TPLF/EPRDF & Prosperity both disastrous!!

In 2023, authorities in Ethiopia blocked access to social media platforms such as Facebook, Telegram, and TikTok in response to protests over the breakup of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. #internetfreedom#ethiopia@accessnow#KeepItOn
The Ethiopian government must stop its continued attacks on freedom of expression and access to information, and restore access to all platforms, enabling people to exercise their fundamental rights online. #censorship#ethiopia@accessnow#KeepItOn
Internet shutdowns stoke tensions, yet authorities in Ethiopia have blocked access on several instances citing security concerns, denying people in the country the ability to exercise their fundamental rights. #internetshutdowns#ethiopia@accessnow#KeepItOn
The Ethiopian government must remember its commitment to restore internet services in parts of the country and not do anything to jeopardize this. #internetfreedom#ethiopia@accessnow#KeepItOn
The Ethiopian government must end this culture of interfering with people’s right to express themselves and to seek and receive information. #censorship#ethiopia@accessnow#KeepItOn
Amnesty International urges the Ethiopian authorities to lift this blockade without delay and to end this culture of interfering with people’s right to express themselves and to seek and receive information. #censorship#ethiopia@amnesty
This blockade on selected social media platforms clearly violates citizens’ rights to freedom of expression and access to information. It also flies in the face of Ethiopia’s own constitution, and national laws. #censorship#ethiopia@amnesty
Since 2016 Amnesty International and other organizations have documented frequent internet shutdowns or restrictions during widespread protests and in conflict areas in Ethiopia. This must end. #internetshutdowns#ethiopia@amnesty
