Over 100 civilians were killed in drone strikes last Thursday in Eastern Gojam, Amhara—just days before Easter—BBC reports. The Ethiopian govt has repeatedly targeted civilians. The world must speak up! #AmharaGenocide #WarOnAmhara

Over the past year, alarm has been mounting over the worsening crisis of kidnappings for ransom by armed groups in Ethiopia. Although these crimes are often attributed to non-state actors, reports have also implicated government forces in colluding with various armed groups and sharing in the profits.
To make matters worse, a disturbing trend has emerged: state actors are now openly justifying kidnappings for ransom. Amid ongoing civil wars, the government is increasingly relying on forced conscription to fill its ranks. Initially, the primary targets were underprivileged youth, particularly day laborers working far from their home villages. However, the focus has recently shifted to youth from wealthier families.

Reports indicate that local security officials are detaining young men as they return from school or social venues and forcibly transporting them to temporary detention facilities. While the captured youth await transportation to training camps, brokers approach their families, offering to secure the release of their sons in exchange for substantial payments. These ransoms range from 100,000 to 500,000 birr, depending on the family's wealth. Officials and brokers can easily access family income data from banks and tax records, enabling them to assess the targets ability to pay and determine how much to demand. Those without cash on hand have been forced to borrow from friends or raise funds through their afosha (እድር). Scared of being the next victim, many young men have gone into hiding abandoning their studies and jobs.

Perhaps driven by its financial incentives, this recent forced conscription is not limited to remote rural villages; families in major cities and towns have now become the primary targets. This is not merely based on reports from across the country—a family I personally know had to pay 300,000 birr to secure their son’s release just a few days ago. Such extortion, at a time when the cost of living has become unbearable, is cruel.
Forced conscription itself is a grave violation of human rights, but using it as a state-sponsored tactic for ransom extortion shows a shocking disregard for the basic decency expected of even the most authoritarian government. Whats happening to our people is just tragic!

Dear @antonioguterres, during your visit to Ethiopia, I hope you address the #WarOnAmhara. Civilians face drone strikes, schools are destroyed, and thousands are unjustly detained. It's crucial to advocate for those suffering. Your voice can make a difference!

Fascist @AbiyAhmedAli killing women and children indiscriminately using drones purchased from 🇹🇷@RTErdogan. The ammunitions for the drones are being shipped from 🇦🇪 @MohamedBinZayed. Sadly global community is silent about it.

Every moment of silence allows further death. The drone strike in Amhara is a call to action for the international community.
