1. State media narrative in the aftermath of #GondarMassacre revealed the Regional State's involvement. Victim blaming is rife, documentaries painting Muslims as terrorists. Arrested Muslims tortured to admit to "terrorism"
#Islamophobia@hrw@amnesty@AJEnglish@trtworld
Armed extremist Orthodox Christians slaughtered 50+ Muslims in Gondar and Dabark by the help of local militias. We demand @mbachelet to check facts straight and correct the @UNGeneva statement regarding the #GondarMassacre#IslamophobiaInEthiopia
The #GondarMassacre didn’t happen overnight, it was a premeditated and well-orchestrated terror attack on the Muslim minorities of the region. There were massive and public hate speeches and campaigns against people of diversity in the region prior to the massacre.
#GondarMassacre was a careful orchestration of Islamophobic attacks carried out by ultra right wing #Fano militants, local militia & Amhara Special Forces. The hunt is still on, Muslims held hostage in their own city. Federal forces must control #Gondar. #IslamophobiaInEthiopia
Instead of holding the perpetrators who committed the well-organized #GondarMassacre accountable the Amhara regional govt is gaslighting the Muslim community and the federal security forces are detaining people who advocated for the victims. @hrw@amnesty@UNHumanRights
