This is unbearable to watch Innocent Amhara farmers, simply distributing fertilizer, were targeted by a drone strike from Abiy Ahmed's regime. This is not war it’s genocide. The world must not look away. #AmharaGenocide#Ethiopia@hrw@AmnestyEARO
@lemnsissay@annagetaneh1 **Whispers from amhara**
In Addis, Sisay finds respite,
Yet Ahmara's day mirrors night.
No food, water, no light,
Years in silence, an unseen fight.
On ancestral soil, they face plight,
Their cries echo, out of sight."

The Ethiopian Government has embarked on a new wave of mass arrests targeting ethnic Amharas of all standing!
A similar mass arrest has been undertaken in May 2022. Towards the end of the campaign i.e around August 2022 when rumors of third round war with TPLF started, close to 34,000 people were arrested. The government only acknowledged 12,000 were under their custody. From those abducted by the State, only the prominent journalists and human rights defenders were released, those who are not very well known are either still languishing in various holding camps or were killed. Our report regarding the last wave of abductions and detentions can be found here:

Now a similar mass abduction is taking place. These Amharas are being charged with a blanket 'terrorism' charges. These new rounds of abductions include scholars, political leaders, students, volunteers at Amhara Civic Organizations who are trying to alleviate the multi-dimensional problems Amharas displaced from genocide hotspot areas like Metekel and Wollega are facing. Generally, this well coordinated false flag operation is a known pattern of the EPRDF/PP governments where they carry out false flag attacks, or 'foil' pre-planned state led operations in order to charge their political opponents or simply detain members of targeted ethnic groups without charge.
Ethnic Amharas and Guraghes have been lately heavily profiled and arrested every time an anti- Government civil disobedience action takes place. Parallel to the profiled detentions, homes of ethnic Amharas and other non-Oromos was being clearly marked with a red 'X' sign for a demolishing force that comes out and knocks down homes often without even warning the residents within. Over 15,000 homes were knocked down in and around Addis Ababa in such a way only in the past couple of months.
Another extremely concerning trend is the fact that official federal appointees were extending threat against ethnic Amharas the whole past week by invoking references from the ethnic turmoil in what was known as Yugoslavia and stories from the accounts of the Rwandan Genocide. They all were clearly trying to label ethnic Amahras as a cause for “an upcoming genocide��� in Ethiopia. This is in line with what has been going on in the #AmharaGenocide hotspots like Metekel and Wollega. The various TPLF, OLF & OPP support groups were disseminating disinformation by misattributing data from #AmahraGenocide as if the atrocities were carried out by Amharas. What is happening now is the scaling up of this localized test-run to a national level.
Federal and Regional State Medias, like The Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation (EBS), Fana Broadcasting Corporate S.C (FBC), Amhara Media Corporation (AMCo), have been covering made-up stories to legitimize the state led abductions. These Medias are known for propping government’s false flag operations, and are the preferred state apparatus used to target individuals. In the past, these Medias were used to target Muslims, Orthodox Christians, Ethnic Amharas, Oromos, Tigrayans, Guraghes, Somalis, and Agnuaks depending on the group the central government is targeting at the time. These practices were openly admitted by the current ‘reformed’ government while the new leadership vowed not to repeat the mistakes of their EPRDF party. Sadly, that practice is still being undertaken to the detriment of the currently targeted ethnic Amharas in Ethiopia, therefore, leadership of these Medias should also be considered as accomplices to the perpetrators of the ongoing genocide against Amharas.
The message is loud and clear! There is no due process of law, ethnic targeting is now legally being undertaken, if any Amhara does something anywhere (even if it is perfectly legal to demand protection from genocide through a peaceful demonstration), any other Amhara not related with the event gets abducted and get slapped with a terrorism charge.
A distressing video displays ENDF soldiers assembling and subjecting an Amhara teenager to severe physical abuse. The victim is harmed using a gun, beaten mercilessly, forced to put the knife in his mouth, and his genitals are severed. #AmharaGenocide
10.4 million people are in need of urgent food assistance in Ethiopia.
World leaders should recognize the reality of Ethiopia’s humanitarian catastrophe and the government’s actions contributing to it.
Just watched @BBCWorld's James Landale play brainless stenographer for UK Africa Minister Andrew Mitchell & Jabba Getachew over famine in Tigray.
Tell us all WHY, BBC, you pull out all stops with a major report on Tigray and STILL can't report on ethnic cleansing of #Amhara?
@LighthouseDPC My only concern is that people still need to have major medical health insurance. Otherwise, they could go bankrupt if they got into an accident or had a major health issue. With major medical insurance, your PCP visit is usually free or low copay.
The Ethiopian government’s telecommunications shutdown in Amhara region has made it possible to hide war crimes and atrocities, disrupt remittances, stunt education, and hamper banking and agricultural sectors. Some of the stories of those affected:
#KeepItOn#WarOnAmhara
Today, we shared our stories in Congress, advocating for the Ethiopian people who are enduring suffering. EADC is grateful for our partnership with AEPAC and for a successful Congressional briefing in the US House of Representatives. United, we can be a voice for #Ethiopia. 🇪🇹🇺🇸

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
#DeraMassacre: at least 48 ethnic Amhara civilians were killed by OLA in several parts of Dera, Ethiopia. In addition, a large number of cattle and other properties of residents were looted, and residential houses were burned down. @hrw#AmharaGenocide
BREAKING - Prosperity Party regime forces are firing BM rockets from the direction of Dangila towards residential areas in #Achefer and #Mecha (Amhara region, Ethiopia). The motivation for this attack is to massacre civilians. @MikeHammerUSA@UNHumanRights@USEmbassyAddis
While the eyes of the world are on Palestine, there is also genocide happening in other parts of the world
The government of Ethiopia continues it’s assault on the #Amhara people
📢#UPDATE: On October 6, 2023, the ENDF carried out at least three drone strikes which left at least 30 dead and several others injured in Abe Dongoro Woreda.
