๐จ The Amhara Association of Melbourne, Australia has condemned what it describes as ongoing mass atrocities against civilians in Ethiopia's Amhara region, calling for an immediate end to the violence.
The group urges the international community to act now: protect civilians, ensure humanitarian access, launch an independent investigation into alleged war crimes and human rights violations, and hold those responsible accountable.
Silence in the face of civilian suffering costs lives.

Ethiopia: Reports that certain ethnic Amhara oligarchs, crony capitalists, regime elites and political insiders are seeking to preserve both Abiyโs regime and their own interests by hijacking Fanoโs struggle. According to these reports, they fear losing their illicitly acquired wealth and political influence, as well as facing potential prosecution for crimes they are alleged to have committed
โก๏ธOver 30 regime forces, including a senior East Wollega official, killed as Fano launched a coordinated offensive in Gida-Ayana and Abe-Dongoro Woredas (๐East Wollega and Horo-Guduru Wollega Zones, Oromia Region, Ethiopia) between July 23rdโ24th.
๐ต Fano units under the AFNM-ASC launched a coordinated offensive on regime positions in the Enjiro area at the entrance to Anger-Gutin town, infiltrating the local police station before engaging Geda Commando, militia, and police forces in close-quarters fighting supported by heavy machine guns.
๐ต The fighting expanded to regime positions in the Mender 3 and Mender 4 areas, leaving more than 30 regime forces killed, including a senior East Wollega zonal official. Fano forces also destroyed a military patrol vehicle and captured a significant quantity of firearms.
๐ต On the Fano side, two fighters were killed and two others were wounded during the operation.
๐ต In a related operation between July 23rd and 24th, Fano forces took control of Tulu-Gana in Abe-Dongoro Woreda (Horo-Guduru Wollega Zone) for several hours before withdrawing following the arrival of regime reinforcements.

Gondar is Truly Unifiedโผ๏ธ
โTo those of you in Gondar who think there is division and who have been confused or misled: the only thing to do is wait just a little longer. You will see the results.โ
Says AFNM Commander Amenu Alemante
The Abiy administrationโs appeal to the Saudi government for the release of Ethiopian prisoners appears to be driven less by humanitarian concern and more by an intent to mobilize returnees for its ongoing, controversial military campaign against the Amhara & Tigray populations.
