MikeHammer admits that AbiyAhmedAli 's government will not carry out the transition process and is working on deception to avoid accountability. America has confirmed that this government cannot bring peace to the country. The information is obtained from insiders

[The American-Ethiopian Public Affairs Committee @AmericaEthiopia]

The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission has issued a report that confirms what several local media outlets have been reporting for the last week. According to EHRC, the Government of Ethiopia has demonstrably caused several hundred civilian casualties, extrajudicial killings, and arbitrary arrests of innocent civilians. The report also discusses a communicable disease outbreak at Gelan, an overcrowded 'prisoner' holding facility outside Addis Ababa.

According to the report, merchants and farmers on duty in their shops and farms, as well as families inside their homes, were massacred by government forces who fired heavy artillery weapons at innocent civilians in Debre Markos, Adetna, Merawi, Debretabore, Deldi, Majete, Showa Robit, and Endokia towns between August 25 and September 7, 2023.

EHRC has described the extent of extrajudicial killings that took place between August 31 and September 10, 2023, in the towns of Adete, Debre Markos, Debre Tabor, Jiga, Lemi, Magete, Merawi, Merto Lemariam, and Showa Robit as disheartening and a major concern. The civilians killed by government forces include individuals kidnapped from inside their homes, unarmed civilians taken from the streets, and individuals accused of not respecting the government-imposed curfew. In addition, outside of the government of Ethiopia-recognized prison sites and prisoners, in the city of Addis Ababa and surrounding areas, Bahri Dare, Debre Tabor, Debre Markos, Finote Selam, Gonder, Lalibela, Mekan Selam, Kobo, and Showa Robit, government security forces are conducting extrajudicial imprisonment of innocent civilians. The number of people who are subject to this arbitrary imprisonment and abuse is not known at this time.

The global order is served well when the international community and the USA consistently apply the same standards to react against all atrocities everywhere perpetrated by any government. Hypocrisy is morally reprehensible, and when basic principles are violated, the consequences can be far-reaching and dangerous for all. This is not the time for compassion fatigue, nor is it the time to abandon the international order. The world cannot allow another Rwanda in the African continent.

"The harshest tyranny is that which acts under the protection of legality and the banner of justice."

[Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention @LemkinInstitute]

Evidence emerging from the #Amhara and Oromia regions of Ethiopia, as well as from the capital city of Addis Ababa, have led the @LemkinInstitute to conclude that there is a strong probability that the Amhara people are facing an active genocide committed by members of the Ethiopian National Defense Forces and armed Oromo groups. This genocide follows the genocide committed by President Abiy Ahmed against the #Tigray people in northwestern Ethiopia, which is ongoing in the form of forced displacement from the Western Zone and insufficient access to basic needs.

A greater danger is heading to Amhara’s who are located in East Welega and Horo Gudru!

Brigade General Hashim Kemal, Horo Gudru, and East Welga Zones Defense Deployment Officer, who participated in Yesterday’s meeting that was held in Horo Gudru Welega Zone, Amuru district, Obora town, announced with great joy to the leaders of the district and the community that they have completed their preparations to carry out an attack to eradicate the Amhara’s in Welega using the pretense that there is FANO in the area. He announced that the attack is planned to happen soon and will happen simultaneously in a coordinated and concerted way.

General Hashem is an extremist Prosperity Party servant and a dangerous person working with Oneg Shene. Further, he encouraged the people that they should not be afraid since he said they have more power than what the people think. However, he warns them that their plan is possible when only it is kept secret and asks them to keep it as a secret.

In the same news, the armies stationed in different Kebeles of Amuru district from Haro Logo, Agamsa, and Dengab, now mobilized to Obora town, were told to 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝by to attack the Amhara People living there.
In addition, militias dressed in the army uniform in Jardega Jarte district who joined starting from Shambu have camped from Sekele to Alibo city; they too are told to 𝐬𝐭a𝐧𝐝𝐛𝐲 for the mission they will be given to them.

Similarly, the information we got from the place indicates that in East Wolega, the militias, from Nekmete to Kiremu, wearing army uniforms, are deployed for the massacre.

So, please let all concerned know so that all of our people in Welega can prepare themselves for the inevitable struggle.

#GPE_AtrocityReport
Incident dates: From March 30, 2023 on wards
#AddisAbaba
#Gelan, #TuluDimtu, #Ziway, #Oromo Region #Ethiopia
#Tepi #SouthWest Region
#Yirgalem #SNNP Region

Over 100,000 Amharas have been detained just for their identity since March 30, 2023 (GPE Report June 26, 2023: https://t.co/XWphAeU9bR). These are in addition to thousands of Amharas that were detained in a mass arrest campaign against Amharas two years earlier in May 2022.

The number of people abducted just for their identity has risen alarmingly over recent weeks. People are abducted with no reason after their IDs are checked randomly. The majority of the abductees from within Addis Ababa city are taken to make shift temporary holdings like high-school grounds and various industrial storage places from where they are moved to undisclosed locations often outside Addis Ababa to locations like Gelan, Tulu Dimtu and as far as Woliso, Arba Minch and Tepi.

Detainees in undisclosed locations are reported to get only one bread a day with some days of the week not getting any food at all. Leaked videos, audios and pictures of these detention centers show a very bleak reality reminiscent of early days of the Auschwitz-Birkenau detention centers where Nazi units held Jews just for their identity. The videos indicate Ambulances on standby to take bodies of Amharas that die out of extreme torture and starvation, the images also expose those who seem to inflict pain on the detainees all war masks and protective medical sanitation gear indicative of possible presence of communicable disease outbreak on the grounds.

Extreme torture, coercion and making Amharas abductees sign documents and testify against other Amharas under duress is continuously reported out of both temporary holding places and other concentration camps. Extra judicial killings have been continuously reported ever since the mass abductions began. The majority of the Amharas held at concentration camps are daily laborers, street vendors and people who were found to be Amhara after a random stop and search campaigns in the capital city Addis Ababa. Abuses reported thus far include, extreme torture, mutilations, mass murder, coercion, rape, humiliation, and starvation.

Majority of the detainees are:
1. Street vendors
2. Lottery vendors
3. Daily laborers
4. Young people from their homes and on the streets
5. Students abducted either from their homes or from the streets
6. Civil servants
7. Political party members (especially those of Balderas party members)
8. Amhara Peoples' representatives from Amhara Region and Addis Ababa

Location:
1. Addis Ababa, in all available police stations, schools (for example there were 100 in Wondiyrad high school, 150 in Belay Zeleke School, and over 150 in Biruh Tesfa School), Youth Centers, Various service centers (for example, at the Addis Ketema Senior Citizens help center found at the back of Abune Aregawi Church)

2. Outside Addis Ababa:
Yirgalem (SNNP Region): On August 10, 2023 over 28 buses full of Amhara detainees were taken to Yirgalem town from various police stations in Addis Ababa; where they are kept in SNNP region police training center.

Ziway and Meki (Oromo Region): Many Amharas taken from Addis Ababa and Nazareth cities are taken to undisclosed locations in Ziway and leaked information indicates that they are subjected to inhuman conditions.

Tepi (South Western Region): Amharas detained before and after the illegal state of emergency declared in Amhara Region are kept in undisclosed locations in Tepi.
Awash Arba (Afar Region): Amharas detained before and after the illegal state of emergency declared in Amhara Region are kept in undisclosed locations in Tepi. Even people's representatives who were supposed to have immunity because of their status are among those who are held and tortured at this infamous location.

It is also feared that there are multiple undisclosed locations where Amhara detainees are being held as reports of them are surfacing but most who know about it fear for their lives to disclose these locations.
