Briefing Notice
Please join the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission for a briefing on the current human rights situation in Ethiopia, the state of conflicts in Tigray, Amhara and Oromia, the status of transitional justice efforts, and prospects for improving security, respect for human rights, and democratic governance.Multiple conflicts continue to affect Ethiopia. In late 2020, a devastating civil war erupted between the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF), allied with Eritrean forces and Amhara militias, and forces in Tigray. While the November 2022 Pretoria Cessation of Hostilities Agreement (CoHA), signed in Pretoria, South Africa, technically ended large-scale conventional warfare in Tigray, international human rights organizations confirm an active, unrelenting persecution of Tigrayans, and escalating tensions threaten to reignite the war. The ongoing conflicts in the Amhara and Oromia regions continue to inflict a heavy toll. Drone strikes have been reported in all three regions in 2026. Conflict and instability have left some 1.9 million people still internally displaced and conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) remains rampant. The underlying political, ethnic, and territorial disputes in northern Ethiopia and Oromia remain unresolved, and human rights organizations have documented abuses such as extrajudicial executions, attacks on civilian infrastructure and health facilities, forced conscription, torture, systemic abuse, and forced deprivation. People in the Tigray region and parts of Amhara were unable to vote in the June 2026 national elections in Ethiopia. Amid these challenges, advocates for victims are seeking accountability and justice, such as through a universal jurisdiction complaint filed in Germany against Ethiopian and Eritrean officials.Briefers will provide an update on the conflicts and the human rights and humanitarian situations since the signing of the CoHA agreement, the possibility of a wider regional conflict, and prospects for transitional justice and accountability. Briefers will also offer recommendations for how the U.S. government can effectively support peace, human rights, and accountability in Ethiopia.The briefing will be virtual via Zoom. To attend, please register here. After the briefing concludes, a recording will be made available on the Commission website. For any questions, please contact Todd Stein (for Co-Chair McGovern) or Mark Milosch (for Co-Chair Smith).Hosted by:

Watch as H.I.H Prince Asfa-Wossen Asserate speaks out against the ongoing persecution of Amharas and Christians in Ethiopia. The following description of the event is taken as-is from the ECLJ official YouTube Channel.
https://t.co/SHGHMo8JyM
Official @ECLJ_Official event description is given below
"The human rights situation in Ethiopia continues to deteriorate, particularly in the Amhara and Oromia regions. This event will examine credible reports of extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detention, forced displacement, attacks against Christian communities, and other serious violations affecting the Amhara civilian population and Ethiopian Christians.
The conference will also explore the implications of the European Union’s continued engagement with Ethiopia, including its recent EUR 689 million support package. It aims to promote accountability for serious human rights violations and to encourage discussion on whether current EU policies are consistent with the Union’s commitments to the protection of civilians, religious freedom, and the prevention of atrocity crimes.
KEYNOTE SPEAKER
H.I.H. Prince Asfa-Wossen Asserate, Ph.D. Ethiopian-German historian, political analyst, and author specialising in Ethiopian affairs, Ethiopian state and church history, and political developments in the Horn of Africa.
BACKGROUND
• The ECLJ’s 2024 report on the Amhara people documented patterns of violence that may amount to atrocity crimes. A substantially updated edition, published in June 2026, confirms that the situation remains deeply alarming.
• The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission has reported extrajudicial killings, abductions, indiscriminate attacks against civilians, and large-scale displacement in the Amhara region.
• Drone and aerial strikes have repeatedly affected civilian populations in the Amhara region, raising serious concerns under international humanitarian law.
• Ethiopian Christians have increasingly been targeted, including clergy, churches, and Orthodox Christian communities in Oromia.
• In February 2026, coordinated attacks against Orthodox Christian communities in East Arsi reportedly killed more than thirty worshippers, including a priest shot inside his church. On 31 May 2026, similar attacks in East Arsi have led to the death of at least 37 Christians and the burning of a monastery.
• Opposition politicians, journalists, and civil society actors documenting the conflict continue to face detention, intimidation, and prosecution.
• In October 2023, the United Nations Special Adviser on the Prevention of Genocide warned of a heightened risk of genocide and related atrocity crimes in Ethiopia.
• Despite these developments, the European Union has recently extended approximately EUR 689 million in support to the Ethiopian government, raising questions regarding human rights conditionality. The EU also surprisingly congratulated the government on the contested elections"
