This is Ethiopia were a cadre talks down to a leading international economist.

[Robel @RobelYeshitla]

Glad you asked- using everyday language not economist jargon- overvaluation is central bank "pretending" the local currency buys more foreign currency than it really should through forex control regulations, which make imports cheaper in short term but also creates long term pain and distortions. floating comes with short-term pain such as higher inflation from costlier imports but long-term gain including better export competitiveness, reduced parallel market gap and more forex inflows. Of course this should be seen with over domestic production capacity - import substitute and value added export etc.

The slaughter of innocent Christians continues unabated in the Arsi area of Oromia region in 🇪🇹. Clergy are being killed, churches burned, and tens of thousands of civilians displaced from their homes. Yet the violence persists with little accountability. The world must not look away while entire communities suffer in silence.

1⃣ Attacks against Orthodox Christian communities in Arsi and East Arsi have been reported repeatedly since late 2025. https://t.co/pvlpqTutJL

2⃣ On February 26–28, 2026, attacks in East Arsi reportedly killed between 20 and 34 Orthodox Christians, including clergy, according to church, human rights, and religious sources. https://t.co/jNaq3vXCTj

3⃣ Religious bodies including the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, the Ethiopian Islamic Affairs Supreme Council, the Inter-Religious Council of Ethiopia, the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Ethiopia, and the World Council of Churches publicly condemned the killings and called for accountability. https://t.co/f8ceoq07NO

4⃣ A new wave of deadly violence has swept through Ethiopia's East Arsi Zone in Oromia Region, leaving up to 49 orthdox christians dead, churches destroyed, and hundreds of residents fleeing into nearby forests in what community leaders and religious authorities describe as an escalating security crisis targeting civilians. https://t.co/LC9n4CtLT1

A church was burned &50 Orthodox Christians were slaughtered in broad daylight while the surrounding Oromos community watched.

To dismiss this as the action of“few individuals”creates false trust.leaves more innocent people exposed to the same violence.

[Orthodoxy Daily News @OrthodoxyNews]

#Ethiopia: More than 40 Orthodox Christians have reportedly been massacred, and centuries-old churches have been burned by Oromo Islamist militants, who are alleged to be supported by the Abiy Ahmed regime, in the East Arsi Zone of Ethiopia’s Oromia Region since May 31, 2026.

This affects all, but Oromo silent so long as they can kick Amhara's down. LBJ quote "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you"

Since Abiy came to power, the birr has lost 460% of its value. After the election it will fall further. 10–12 million salaried workers feel the impact. The attached data shows a 70% collapse in real income.

[Frita Samuel @Fritasamuel1]

The Amhara massacres in Wollega changed me completely as a person. The way I viewed Ethiopia has never been the same since June 18, 2022. The Tole massacre was the final straw that made me lose hope in my country.💔😢

What hurt me most was not only the evil that was committed the crime , but also the reaction of many ordinary people whom I once respected. Instead of acknowledging the suffering of our people , some tried to gaslight us, minimize the tragedy, or offer what felt like performative and insincere sympathy. That betrayal has been deeply painful and impossible to forget.💔💔
#AmharaGenocide

[Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention @LemkinInstitute]

For the past eight years, the Amhara have been systematically targeted based on their ethnic identity and subjected to killings, abductions, sexual violence, and arbitrary detention. This pattern of violence has led to an estimated tens of thousands of civilian casualties. The tightly knit genocidal structure that the regime of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has created to "exterminate" Amhara identity all over Ethiopia must be dismantled.

The @LemkinInstitute renews our call on the international community to end its complicity with the Abiy regime and exert sustained pressure on the Ethiopian government to ensure the protection of all civilians and dismantle its genocidal apparatus, which it has been using against any population it views as threatening for almost a decade.

#Breaking : Door to door massacre of Amhara civilians in Awra Godana town of Amhara region by Oromia Special Forces:

Context: Awra Godana, is located in Amhara region close to the borders of Oromia and Afar, a few kilometers from the Ethio-Djibouti railway. The Oromia government has been trying to annex this strategically located town into Oromia. Last year they sent their special forces to attack the town disguised as militia, even killing a dozen federal police. They got routed by the local Amhara militia, losing at least 26 of their fighters. The incident even got international media attention. The Oromia government claimed Fano invaded Oromia, they even had the @cgtnafrica reporter @GirumChala, who has business links to Oromia PP, report on @CGTN that it was Amharas who invaded Oromia. It’s important to know that the Oromia Special Forces were never disband in April, only the Amhara Special Forces.

What happened yesterday and today:

Since ENDF is losing ground in most parts of Amhara, the Oromia government wants to annex this town to take over the Ethio-Djibouti route. There was no Fano presence in the town so ENDF encircled the town yesterday to prevent the locals from getting any Fano reinforcements. This was followed by an attack on the town by Oromia Special Forces (OSF), the locals were able to defend themselves with high casualties for OSF. Amhara Civilians strong enough to run fled the town. Today the Oromia government sent more OSF reinforcements backed by ENDF artillery support. The locals fought until they ran out of Ammo. Fano couldn’t make it to the town due to ENDFs blockade. This is when Oromia Special Forces started going door to door and killing any Amhara civilians they could find. They brought Oromo youth from the neighboring Oromia region towns to loot as many properties as possible. The looting and killing is still going on.

I have transcribed and translated a brief interview journalists @mamamesay and Dereje did with survivors:

Journalist: The town of Awra Godana, in Minjar Wereda of Amhara region is under the full invasion and occupation of the Oromia Special Forces (OSF), there is door to door killing and looting. The residents of the town are fleeing for their lives. Those who couldn’t flee are in dire situations.

Witness: Houses are burning, people have fled the town. The town is fully controlled by Oromia Special forces. What’s shocking is the level of looting, people (from the bordering Oromia towns) are looting everything, the Oromia Special forces are loading trucks full of peoples properties, every house has been looted by OSF. And ENDF is behind them overseeing it, the forest is full of people (Oromos from Kireyu) running with looted properties. We have several pictures and videos of these incidents, I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. They’re destroying the entire town. Residents of Awra Godana, those who can have all fled to the forests. The town is being completely destroyed.

Journalist: It’s being reported that the ones killing people door to door are Oromo Special Forces.

Witness: There’s a lot of them (OSF), they control most of the higher positions. They’ve taken over the entire city, there’s still people looting right now. The entire forest is full of people (Oromos from neighboring region) running away with looted properties. Even the OSF loading peoples belongings with trucks and taking them to Oromia. We think they’ve incited Oromos from neighboring towns to come loot because they’re everywhere. I’ve never seen this type of cruelty in my life, we are devastated.

New Wave of Invasion and Looting Targets Amhara Civilians in East Wollega; Prosperity Forces Accused of Dismantling Communal Harmony

(May 7, 2026 — Ethio 251 Media)

A massive military invasion and a wave of looting targeting Amhara civilians have been reported in the Merga Jiregna and Bagin kebeles of Kiramu Wereda, East Wollega Zone. Prosperity regime militants have launched a widespread offensive, causing a dire humanitarian situation in the region.

This latest assault has specifically targeted the town of Sinidero, a community where Amhara and Oromo populations have lived together in peace and harmony for generations. Reports indicate that the regime is actively working to dismantle these long-standing social ties and communal unity through force and intimidation.

Sources on the ground reveal that regime forces are subjecting Sinidero residents to severe beatings, harassment, and arbitrary detentions. Witnesses stated that militants are using hate-filled rhetoric, questioning residents with derogatory slurs: How can you live in peace with these 'Neftengna'? How can you intermarry with them? Analysts suggest these actions are part of a systematic effort by the regime to incite conflict and erode the deep-rooted mutual respect between the two ethnic groups.

In a related development, a massive theft of property was carried out against Amhara residents in the same district on May 6, 2026. Reports confirm that 150 cattle and 60 goats were looted by regime militants. Residents believe the looting is a deliberate tactic to destroy their economic livelihood and force them into displacement.

The atrocities remain ongoing, with reports of militants burning civilian homes and continuing forced evictions. This targeted campaign against Amhara civilians is creating an escalating humanitarian crisis in the area.

International human rights organizations and relevant global bodies are being urged to turn their attention to these grave violations and intervene immediately.

@BBarsiis @kyisfa They are Amhara. It became unsafe for them to be identified as Amhara.

[Shewa Made @eth1896]

It's good that the Oromo elite are acknowledging that this current regime represents them and protects their interests. Naol is just looking to preserve the status quo today that allows his govt to act with impunity and callousness to maintain power at the expense of Ethiopians.

[Naol Kebede @DrNaoll]

By the way, Teddy’s 2005 album Ja Yasteseryal was strikingly free of “us vs them” rhetoric. That was at the peak of TPLF's rule. No mention of "Them" as in Tigrayan rule. Rather it leaned into unity. Love wins.

Honestly, speaking, even if I don't buy his obsession with the old imperial government, the reconciliation and love he preached in that album is commendable. We need it more than ever.

Now, the problem is as the political climate shifted, especially as Oromo demands for equitable representation became louder, Teddy's tone shifted with it.

He began echoing the very “us vs them” framing he once resisted. But this time "Them" are the Oromos. He used the same narrative he said he was against. No more unity now. It's just you either accept my terms or I'll die. That’s sad.

Teddy could have done better. He failed the test at last.

Label, Withdraw Troops, Provide Time, Mask Atrocity

The Tole Execution Window - June 18, 2022

Eight hours of carnage killed 1500+ Amhara civilians.
The killers were moving from village to village chasing every soul they could find and slaughter each of them. When all this atrocity happens the Federal army (ENDF) was stationed just 17 kilometers from the site of the carnage.

The army received frantic calls from local administrators and dying victims, the military ignored the emergency calls in a Calculated Latency. Later they claimed they had "no orders" from Addis Ababa. As if protecting its citizen should come as order from the capital not from the basic moral tenure of being a federal army.

This state-enforced silence provided the OLA/Shene militias a protected window to perform the unthinkable—the systematic disembowelment of pregnant women and the torching of entire villages.

This was no accident. Later retrieved satellite imagery and survivor testimonies confirm the state security forces only arrived once the killers had safely retreated. The pattern mirrors what happened at Bedeno in 1992, but with modern efficiency.

The shocking Intent is found in the aftermath: rather than ordering a military inquiry, the Prime Minster laughed in Parliament, offering #GreenLegacy saplings to "shade the graves" of those his army refused to protect.

This is the standard #Oromummaa led government military pattern:

1. Label the target as "Neftegna" (Settler),
2. Withdraw federal protection,
3. Provide a 7-8 hour window for manual genocide, and
4. Mask the atrocity with environmental or "Prosperity" rhetoric.

What happened in Tole wasn't a failure of the state; rather it was a success of state-sponsored demographic engineering.

🇸🇩 Muzan Alneel, a Sudanese engineer, writer, and political activist who became one of the most clear-eyed analysts of Sudan’s revolutionary movement, passed away Wednesday — on the third anniversary of the outbreak of the war in Sudan.

Alneel had argued that Sudan’s 2018-2019 popular uprising against Omar al-Bashir’s 30-year dictatorship was being hollowed out from above. When the military seized power in a 2021 coup, she warned that any deal sharing power between civilian politicians and generals would only preserve the same system that had crushed Sudanese people for decades. Real change, she wrote, required dismantling military control of the economy – the Sudanese armed forces own vast commercial enterprises – and building an industrialized, self-reliant state accountable to its people rather than to foreign creditors and arms suppliers.

She co-founded ISTinaD, a Khartoum-based think tank focused on technology and people-centered development, and was among the first to bring attention to the neighborhood resistance committees that organized protests and provided basic services when the state would not.

Her work appeared in Jacobin, Al Jazeera, African Arguments, and Novara Media. Her last repost on X was from Ryan Grim highlighting Drop Site’s reporting.

“A brilliant revolutionary thinker, writer and organizer and a wonderful human,”  said researcher Nisrin Elamin.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“One of the strongest Sudanese revolutionary voices, an incredible Marxist thinker and activist,” wrote colleague Shireen Akram-Boshar. “She had an unflagging commitment to the Sudanese people and their right to live in freedom and dignity,” said TIMEP’s Timothy Kaldas.

Three years ago, on April 9, #Ethiopia journalist Meskerem Abera was arrested in a sweeping crackdown on reporting about conflict in the Amhara region. She remains behind bars on terrorism charges that carry a potential death sentence.

She is due to present her defense in May.

@pressfreedom calls for Meskerem’s immediate release and for Ethiopian authorities to stop criminalizing journalism.

This is the language of institutionalized hate.

This video captures a chilling moment in Ethiopian Parliament where Meles Zenawi addresses the ethnic cleansing of 30,000 Amharas from Gura Ferda (Bench Maji) zone. He dismisses the victims as "settlers" (sefarioch) from Gojjam, claiming they occupied the land under the "guise" of Ethiopiawenet.

By labeling Amharas as "settlers," Meles stripped us of the right to exist anywhere in our own country, even framing the displacement as a "corrective administrative action." This rhetoric aligns perfectly with the preamble of the constitution, which speaks of "rectifying historically unjust relationships."

This speech is the literal foundation of the current constitution & the system of ethnic federalism, the official blueprint for ethnic cleansing & genocide of Amharas.
