For those reaching out to us on how they can help the Eritrean and Ethiopian women and boys held hostages, please bear with us we are still investigating the matter.
We are in touch with an interpreter to help our team on the ground to speak to the victims, otherwise we cannot just feed the militias with the demanded ransom.
So far we have received terrible accounts of how the women are being abused by intoxicated militias day and night.
There are 3 women and two boys.
Below is a portrait of the second boy in torture with scars all of over his back. Aaron Tadesse born and raised in Entecho 02 (Dlala).
The third boy is forced to work as an interpreter since he couldn’t pay his ransoms.
extent. Forced conscription and the school to military pipeline are the most descipcable traits of a fascist military government. Ethiopian kids need books not guns and what Ethiopia needs is economic development not war. #AbiyAhmed is a war criminal.
The reasons only 3% of students passed the national exam is because Abiy Ahmed and the rest of the government are preparing to ease the youth into forced conscription so that when the law eventually passed they’ll have an easier time enforcing it. We need to oppose to the fullest
Despite the claims of the regime regarding the restoration of peace and stability in the Amhara region, the decision to keep all universities in the region closed is a clear evidence that the entire Amhara region remains an active war zone, devoid of any semblance of peace.
A Cry for Justice: Teenager's Heart-Wrenching Plea Amidst the Tragedy in Amhara region of Ethiopia.
In a heart-wrenching video that has recently surfaced, a young ethnic Amhara teenager stands amidst the ruins of his brother home, tears streaming down his face, shouting to the heavens, and desperately pleading with God to end the nightmare that has befallen his family and his nation.
The video captures the raw anguish and despair of a teenager whose world has been shattered by a brutal murder, a murder that occurred within the sanctity of his own home through a drone strike, a painful reminder of the dire situation in the war-torn Amhara region of Ethiopia.
With a trembling voice, the teenager cries out, "Nobody can live in peace while Abiy Ahmed is still in power." His anguished words are a stark indictment of the more than two years of war that have plagued the region, leading to man-made starvation and unimaginable suffering for its inhabitants.
The teenager's voice cracks as he mentions his brother, Belete, known as the honest farmer, who had struggled throughout his life to survive and provide for his family. Belete was tragically killed, leaving a void that can never be filled.
In his plea to God, the teenager expresses his deep agony, claiming that he lost not just one but two brothers due to the actions of the Nobel Prize-winning Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. He repeatedly cries out "Egziabher," the Amharic name for God, while wishing for the end of Abiy Ahmed's rule for the pain he has caused.
The teenager recounts the horrors of the air strike, describing how one brother was burned along with their home, while the other was brutally murdered. In the backdrop of the video footage, a scene of devastation unfolded. The remnants of a demolished house testified to the brutal air strike that had befallen the teenager's family. The roof and significant portions of the house lay in ruins, a grim reminder of the tragedy that had unfolded. The teenager's sister, carrying a picture of the deceased, followed a solemn Ethiopian tradition to express her profound grief and the grim reality of an air strike that had claimed her brother's life.
This video is just a glimpse into the unimaginable suffering that has unfolded in the Amhara region. Reports from local sources suggest that the tragedy captured in this video is only the tip of the iceberg. Atrocities, war crimes, and massacres that amount to genocide have allegedly been committed by government forces, with full knowledge and complicity of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.
The plea of this grief-stricken teenager and the harrowing scenes captured in the video highlight the urgent need for the world to break its silence and take decisive action against the brutal regime in Ethiopia. The suffering of the people in the Amhara region demands a response from the global community, a response that acknowledges the immense human cost of the ongoing war and seeks to bring an end to the cycle of genocide and destruction that has gripped this troubled nation.

An Amhara boy losing it as he cries the death of his loved one due to an air raid by Abiy Ahmed. The atrocities everywhere in Ethiopia continue unabated, and this is enabled by the likes of @EUSR_Weber@MikeHammerUSA@IMFNews keeps funding this lunatic
Bruh, your homies are in Tigray and they shouldn't be. They are looting and they shouldn't be. They are killing and they shouldn't be.
Only reasonable tweet is to demand they leave!
They also stole my grandma's photo album. U wana tell me why on earth they want someone's photo?
I think one of the most disturbing things is how hateful some diaspora have come. If people back home can give peace a chance we need to. Break yourselves out of rigid political boxes you’ve put yourself in and be able to accept what needs to be done to save innocent lives.
I’m optimistically skeptical… I’ve had to take a break from the toxic and pointless topic that is Ethiopian politics for my own sanity but I’m really hopeful this could be the beginning of the end of these two horrible years. Praying for peace and for productive next steps.
Dear Ugandans, the brotherly people of Kenya, and all East Africans. I greet all of you.
I ask our Kenyan brothers and sisters to forgive us for the tweets sent by General Muhoozi.
Below is my full statement https://t.co/2xQjFNge2G
May this year's Irreechaa usher in peace to the people of Tigray, several parts of Oromia, Amhara, and Afar.. all innocent civilians caught up in the war in Ethiopia.
Happy Irreechaa🌳
@Amharawit7 It’s really dishonest when people exclude the second biggest ethnic group in these discussions. How can they reconcile w only the people they agree with? For real sustainable peace everyone’s voice needs to be included to have difficult and uncomfortable conversations
You cannot build peace in Ethiopia or the Horn by excluding Amharas! Y’all just having a discussion in your own echo chamber with token “others” who share the same views.
