WAR CRIME with IMPUNITY by a fascist regime of Abiy in #Ethiopia. Drone attack on village market in Amhara region, Gojam, killing 16, including a child named Mulugeta Belete, and critically injuring 16 people. #AmharaGenocide@SecRubio@marcorubio@hrw
@pettersen4co Your grass looks rather green. Did you know there’s a drought and watering Kentucky Bluegrass is just dumb, especially if you care anything about climate change.
@alanfranklin One thing you’re obviously missing- we funded this genocide. We are not funding genocide in Sudan or Amhara. Where my tax dollars go and how my ‘represents’ represent is rather important.
@weyaneee TPLF was in Amhara and Afar for quite a long time. There are over 4,000 schools still shut due to their destruction and Abiy’s current war. It should be called the northern war, as it effected more regions that just Tigray. The erasure of even this is more evidence of genocide.
⚡️Regime forces and OLA militants kill over 45 Amhara civilians, burn 63 homes, and impose siege-like conditions in Dera Woreda (📍North Shewa Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia).
🔴 As of June 30th, more than 45 Amhara civilians have been killed across 17 kebeles in recent weeks, while over 18 people have been abducted, 63 homes burned, and numerous cattle looted. On June 29th, OLA militants abducted three civilians and seized about 50 cattle in Selelkula town, while ENDF personnel opened fire on residents who attempted to resist.
🔴 On June 30th, OLA militants entering Mamo Kebele from Were-Gebro Kebele burned ten residential homes, displacing affected families and intensifying insecurity.
🔴 Residents say OLA control of key routes has placed the woreda under siege. The Fiche route and Gundomeskel-Selale road have remained inaccessible for about seven years, while the remaining Gundomeskel–Merhabete–Addis Ababa route, which also connects toward Dessie and South Wollo, is under OLA control.
🔴 The prolonged closures have restricted access to healthcare, markets, humanitarian assistance, and essential goods. Residents further say regime officials have portrayed OLA militants as defenders of Oromo communities while depicting Fano as a threat, deepening ethnic tensions and hostility toward Amhara civilians.
#Amhara_War_Updates
🚨 In a televised speech, General Masho Beyene of the TPLF has, for the first time, admitted that it was the TPLF that started the Tigray War by attacking the Ethiopian National Defense Force Northern Command on November 4, 2020.
@merabarud@breaking_bre No, starting war is giving up on diplomacy. War had not started. Diplomacy was an option. If the federal government had started the war, Tigray would have been seen as the victim by more Ethiopians. This way it went tribal, just like TPLF wanted.
@weyaneee@JegnaAnbessa Perhaps 30 years of oppression & starting a war where the aim was for those same folks to come back to Addis was the problem?
@JohnnyW99247834@JegnaAnbessa It’s great she has spoken about Gaza and it’s only logical that if you care about one genocide, you speak about others, especially if it is ongoing in the country you are from. And I’m not Amhara.
I voted for all the progressive candidates I could, but down-voted @MelatKirosCO, b/c I didn’t see any outreach attempt to Ethiopians, besides those of her own ethnicity. + she has said nothing about the genocide of Amharas. I really wish I could have voted for her b/c of #Gaza.

Iran’s captain was asked about LGBT rights. So, why then wasn’t the U.S. team captain asked about the U.S. bombing of the girls' school in Minab, asks @fbhutto ?

The Trump administration’s decision to impose visa restrictions on leaders of the #Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) is unfortunate.
Those who genuinely seek peace in #Ethiopia should work with all parties to the conflict to reach reconciliation and peace.
@KyleClark@DSAdenver@CityCastDenver@MelatKirosCO@DeepNotShallow Likewise, don’t you think she should say something about the ongoing genocide of Amharas in Ethiopia considering her campaign was born out of the genocide in Gaza and she is from Ethiopia?
https://t.co/cFXyCysHRT
It is beyond my comprehension that @MelatKirosCO is not being asked questions about Ethiopia, when the country is continually bombing its citizens, there is a potential for renewed conflict in the region she is from & this is an incredibly important question for Ethiopians.
@KyleClark@DSAdenver@CityCastDenver@MelatKirosCO@DeepNotShallow Q 1: does she support ethnic federalism? Q 2: does she recognize the context in which the civil war happened? Does she understand the crimes against humanity & everyday repression that happened under TPLF? Q 3: how is hosting Tigrayan fundraising events different from AIPAC?
