Statement issued by the Alliance for Survival on the @_AfricanUnion’s Press Release
The Alliance for Survival has read the African Union’s recent press release with deep concern. By portraying the formation of the Ethiopian Peoples’ Forces Alliance for Survival as a threat to peace and stability, the AU overlooks the profound crisis facing Ethiopia and the reasons the Alliance was formed.
Across the country, armed conflict, displacement, economic hardship, and political exclusion have inflicted immense suffering. The conflicts in Amhara, Oromia, Tigray, and other parts of Ethiopia cannot be viewed in isolation. Together, they reflect a national crisis that threatens the lives of civilians, the integrity of state institutions, and Ethiopia’s future. We are concerned that the AU has not responded to this crisis with the urgency and sustained engagement it requires.
The Alliance for Survival seeks to bring together Ethiopians committed to ending violence and preventing further national fragmentation. Its objectives include establishing an inclusive transitional government, facilitating a participatory national and constitutional dialogue, protecting civilians, and creating the conditions for a credible and sustainable political settlement. We believe that a lasting path to peace must meaningfully address the grievances, concerns, and aspirations of communities across Ethiopia.
We respectfully urge the African Union to reconsider its characterization of the Alliance and engage with its stated objectives. The AU should use its influence to help end attacks on civilians, support humanitarian access, and advance an inclusive, nationally owned process for resolving Ethiopia’s conflicts. Ethiopia’s people need a response equal to the scale and urgency of the crisis they face.
Heartbreaking to see what is happening in East Arsi. We need more attention on this situation and immediate action to ensure the safety of those involved.
The Arsi massacre was carried out or indirectly ordered/enabled by the Genocidal regime through the following individuals : Abiy Ahmed Ali, ShimelisAbdisa, Demmelash Gebremichael, Ararsa Merdasa, Colonel Abebe Geresu, and Sintayehu Tilahun.”

This image appears to show an Ethiopian army soldier placing his boot on the head of a young Amhara boy on rocky ground.
Such treatment of a child, if verified, violates international humanitarian law and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
We call on the @UN, @UNHumanRights, @AUCommission, @EU_Commission, and the broader international community to:
• Immediately investigate this incident and similar reports
• Demand full accountability from the Ethiopian authorities
• Take concrete measures to protect civilians-especially children-in conflict-affected areas
The world must uphold its obligation to defend the most vulnerable.

💔 Over 50 Amhara Orthodox Christians were massacred on May 31, 2026, in Aseko Woreda, Oromia. This was not an isolated attack—it is part of the ongoing genocide against Amharas. The world cannot remain silent.

⚠️ Another day of Amhara people massacre in Ethiopia.
The international community's silence isn't just a lack of action, it's a GREEN LIGHT for fascist Abiy Ahmed regime & his paramilitary forces to continue committing #AmharaGenocide in wollega. @hrw
I have been reporting that local cadres are systematically filling voter registration cards using the names of individuals who never appeared to register, and, in some cases, people who do not even exist.
According to multiple reports, officials have been instructed to register 1,500 voters per polling station regardless of whether eligible voters actually show up. The plan is then to cast ballots in those names on the eve of the election or on election day itself.
The objective is clear: to manufacture the appearance of a massive voter turnout and counter opposition claims that large numbers of citizens have been unable to register because of the ongoing conflicts in Amhara and Oromia.
Over the past weeks, I have posted evidence showing cadres filling out registration cards inside their offices. Here is further evidence: stacks of completed registration cards prepared in advance.
