Even in a monastery, Amharas are not safe. The reported drone strike on St. Arsema Monastery in South Wollo is heartbreaking. A place of prayer should never become a place of mourning. The world must not look away #AmharaGenocide#WarOnAmhara@hrw@amnesty

@Selcuk, while your drones you sold to Ethiopia's fascist Abiy Ahmed are destroying Amhara lives, houses of worship, schools, and healthcare facilities. You have no humanity, prioritizing money over lives, and you are responsible for #AmharaGenocide
