.@ACLED_EPO reported disintegration of the regional @prosperity2022 power in the Amhara region, quoting, “Efforts to restructure the Amhara regional government are unlikely to effectively address the ongoing violence in the region“ #WarOnAmhara#AmharaGenocide
Today I had the chance to convey the testimony of Alemu Beyene and the refugees from Wollega to a room of congressional staffers on Capitol Hill. I did a partial showing of “Tears of Wollega” during the reception that followed the AEPEC congressional briefing in the Rayburn State Office Building on Capitol Hill to convey the testimonies in pictures beyond the words we spoke. I am thankful to AEPEC for inviting me and giving the platform for Alemu to be heard.@ShebaPushStart@SheliaJacksonl1
Evidence emerging from the #Amhara and Oromia regions of Ethiopia, as well as from the capital city of Addis Ababa, have led the @LemkinInstitute to conclude that there is a strong probability that the Amhara people are facing an active genocide committed by members of the Ethiopian National Defense Forces and armed Oromo groups. This genocide follows the genocide committed by President Abiy Ahmed against the #Tigray people in northwestern Ethiopia, which is ongoing in the form of forced displacement from the Western Zone and insufficient access to basic needs.

.@AbiyAhmedAli’s #WarOnAmhara has manifested in mass arrests and abductions of ethnic Amharas in Addis Ababa and the establishment of internment camps. Let history remind us that we must never allow the horrors of internment camps to occur again.

.@Guardian reports on massacre of Amhara civilians in Majete.
“They questioned my husband, [asking] if he is a Fano militia member hiding from them. My husband tried to explain that he is a civilian and begged them not to kill him. But the soldiers did not listen. They shot dead my husband in front of me. Then they said to me to bury him, kicking his dead body as if he was not a human being.”

“We told them that we are innocent farmers and we don’t have weapons. When they found no weapon after searching the house, they rounded up my two brothers alongside the younger men of our village and shot them all in the head.”

Internet connectivity is no longer just a luxury; it has become a fundamental human right in the 21st century. Information must flow freely to uphold justice, especially during the #WarOnAmhara
When clashes between local militiamen and federal military forces intensified on August 3, the government of #Ethiopia reportedly shut down #Internet services in the #Amhara region.
Over five weeks later, connectivity remains largely unavailable. #KeepItOn
Fighting has flared up again in some areas in Ethiopia’s restive Amhara region after a week of relative calm, with at least 10 civilian deaths reported. https://t.co/y7docKCr8S
