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.

Fano Aysheshem’s story is one of bravery and sacrifice. He traveled from Israel to the Amhara region to protect his family from Abiy's #WarOnAmhara. Tragically, he passed away a few weeks ago. His life exemplifies the true meaning of "Fano" – standing for justice and defending loved ones, even when the cost is high and it's convenient to ignore injustice.
“#Ethiopia is Unique Country and It is Built with our Founding Father's Sweat, Blood and Bones. It's is not a Country like Dubai or America that has been Discovered by lost Travelers”. It is disgraceful to see deception and fabrication by western media. #Nomore#EthiopiaPrevails
We may not appreciate it right now, but Ethiopians are fighting an African war. America knows the door to Africa is thru Ethiopia. If they can subdue Ethiopia, the rest will bow with a one-word command from Washington. So the least we can do is support Ethiopia. #NoMore
Watching CNN, and other inter'l media before my flight, I thought I was going to a war zone.
Was in Addis yesterday, In Adama now but there is nothing, No bullets, No tension, bars are open, No roadblocks.
There is actually more Millitary presence in Kampala than in Addis Ababa.
@CNNAfrica The one thing I agreed with the former President Trump is calling CNN as a fake news machine. CNN is horrible and lost credibility especially the panic u r sending regarding to Ethiopia.
Eyewitness from North Wollo & Wag areas occupied by #TPLFTerroristGroup are reporting wide spread food shortages, starvation is imminent if not already taking place. Be a voice for the children, mothers that are facing starvation. #AidforAmharaIDPs@USAID@UNICEF@UNICEFEthiopia
