The attackers were identified as Shene (Oromo Liberation Army) militants. Although similar attacks had reportedly been carried out more than seven times previously in the Teleta Gebriel area, what distinguishes the current assault is that the militants allegedly gathered from Merti Woreda, Fentale, Karrayyu, and Itu areas, forming a force estimated at nearly 3,000 fighters before launching a large-scale offensive against Asko Woreda and surrounding areas. One local source told Meseret Media by telephone that residents had previously attempted to organize their own self-defense efforts, but government officials allegedly reassured the community that the area was secure, leading residents to lower their guard. The source claimed this left the population vulnerable to the current attacks. Sources suggest the attacks, which specifically targeted Orthodox Christian communities in East Arsi, appeared to have been carried out during the eve and day of the national election. In Telata Chefa Kebele, Orthodox Christian homes were reportedly singled out and burned, while livestock and other property were looted by armed attackers. As a result, residents reportedly abandoned the area and fled toward Sunte. Similarly, in Kara Kuftena Kebele, residents reportedly fled with the Tabot (holy altar replica) of Medhanealem Church in an effort to save both their lives and sacred religious artifacts from destruction. Reports indicate that the attacks also targeted religious institutions. The historic Telata Chefa St. Gabriel Church, described as more than 101 years old and a significant landmark for the local community, was reportedly completely destroyed by fire. In addition, various service buildings, guest facilities, and other structures belonging to Kara Kuftena Medhanealem Church were also reportedly burned and destroyed. Residents, speaking with great alarm, stated that the militants have completely encircled the area and are carrying out massacres while preventing people from escaping.

“Similarly, the conflict that began in the Amhara region in 2023 between federal forces and Fano militias has resulted in widespread and serious human rights violations, including war crimes and crimes against humanity, which continue unabated. For instance, in January 2024, government soldiers carried out a massacre in the town of Merawi in Gojam province; at least 89 civilians were taken from their homes, rounded up, and executed, as reported by Human Rights Watch.”

🚨 Breaking: Reports show the Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 regime has begun supplying mechanized weapons to Oromia Special Forces as ENDF withdraws from Oromia and redeploys north. This move contravenes the Ethiopian Constitution, which stipulates that only the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF) may be equipped with mechanized weaponry. Ethio Focus News previously reported that the Oromia Region has been purchasing weapons on the global market after receiving authorization from the federal government, another constitutional violation, as procurement authority is granted exclusively to the ENDF. According to sources cited by Ethio Focus News, weapons purchased by the Oromia Region were transported from Djibouti to Oromia on December 21, 2025. The Oromia Special Forces would become the only regional force granted such privileges. This development comes three years after the Abiy regime announced the disbandment of all regional special forces, a process that only targeted the Amhara Regional Forces and triggered the war in Amhara that has continued for the past three years. Notably, two days ago, the Oromia Police Commission called on former members, including regular officers, special forces personnel, and VIP protection units, who had left the service due to discharge or other reasons to rejoin within one week. Sources indicate the objective is to rapidly train and arm up to one million militias in Oromia in preparation for a broader conflict. Sources further confirm that Oromia forces are currently deployed in multiple regions and federal cities across the country, including Addis Ababa, Harar, Dire Dawa, Gambella, Asosa (Benishangul-Gumuz Region), and the Amhara Region.

🚨Breaking : Door to door massacre of Amhara civilians in Awra Godana town of Amhara region by Oromia Special Forces: Context: Awra Godana, is located in Amhara region close to the borders of Oromia and Afar, a few kilometers from the Ethio-Djibouti railway. The Oromia government has been trying to annex this strategically located town into Oromia. Last year they sent their special forces to attack the town disguised as militia, even killing a dozen federal police. They got routed by the local Amhara militia, losing at least 26 of their fighters. The incident even got international media attention. The Oromia government claimed Fano invaded Oromia, they even had the CGTN Africa reporter Girum Chala, who has business links to Oromia PP, report on ℐ that it was Amharas who invaded Oromia. It’s important to know that the Oromia Special Forces were never disband in April, only the Amhara Special Forces. What happened yesterday and today: Since ENDF is losing ground in most parts of Amhara, the Oromia government wants to annex this town to take over the Ethio-Djibouti route. There was no Fano presence in the town so ENDF encircled the town yesterday to prevent the locals from getting any Fano reinforcements. This was followed by an attack on the town by Oromia Special Forces (OSF), the locals were able to defend themselves with high casualties for OSF. Amhara Civilians strong enough to run fled the town. Today the Oromia government sent more OSF reinforcements backed by ENDF artillery support. The locals fought until they ran out of Ammo. Fano couldn’t make it to the town due to ENDFs blockade. This is when Oromia Special Forces started going door to door and killing any Amhara civilians they could find. They brought Oromo youth from the neighboring Oromia region towns to loot as many properties as possible. The looting and killing is still going on. I have transcribed and translated a brief interview journalists Mesay Mekonnen and Dereje did with survivors: Journalist: The town of Awra Godana, in Minjar Wereda of Amhara region is under the full invasion and occupation of the Oromia Special Forces (OSF), there is door to door killing and looting. The residents of the town are fleeing for their lives. Those who couldn’t flee are in dire situations. Witness: Houses are burning, people have fled the town. The town is fully controlled by Oromia Special forces. What’s shocking is the level of looting, people (from the bordering Oromia towns) are looting everything, the Oromia Special forces are loading trucks full of peoples properties, every house has been looted by OSF. And ENDF is behind them overseeing it, the forest is full of people (Oromos from Kireyu) running with looted properties. We have several pictures and videos of these incidents, I’ve never seen anything like this in my life. They’re destroying the entire town. Residents of Awra Godana, those who can have all fled to the forests. The town is being completely destroyed. Journalist: It’s being reported that the ones killing people door to door are Oromo Special Forces. Witness: There’s a lot of them (OSF), they control most of the higher positions. They’ve taken over the entire city, there’s still people looting right now. The entire forest is full of people (Oromos from neighboring region) running away with looted properties. Even the OSF loading peoples belongings with trucks and taking them to Oromia. We think they’ve incited Oromos from neighboring towns to come loot because they’re everywhere. I’ve never seen this type of cruelty in my life, we are devastated. #AmharaGenocide #WarOnAmhara #Ethiopia Al Jazeera English BBC News (World) Reuters UN Human Rights Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) - ኢሰመኮ Human Rights Watch Amnesty International

🚨 Federal Police Raid Foiled in Dire Dawa After Somali Youth Challenges PM Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹's Claim that Dire Dawa was part of Oromia. A tense standoff broke out in the Marmarasa neighborhood of Dire Dawa today after federal police attempted to arrest a young Somali man, Salah, following a fiery public speech condemning Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s recent remarks that Dire Dawa was once part of Oromia. The attempted raid came just a day after Salah spoke at an event held in Sherif Hotel, where he called the Prime Minister’s statement “shameful” and demanded an apology. Salah asserted that Dire Dawa has historically been administered by Issa and Gurgura communities, not Oromia, and accused the PM of trying to stir ethnic tension at a politically sensitive time. When officers arrived at Salah’s residence to detain him, local residents quickly mobilized and blocked the arrest. The police were forced to withdraw. This incident comes amid growing criticism of PM Abiy’s controversial comments in Parliament on the administrative status of Dire Dawa, further straining interethnic relations in the region.

When we say that the foundation has been laid over the past 3 decades to commit a Rwanda scale genocide on Amharas living in Oromia, it is not an exaggeration. This video is from yesterdays “Thanksgiving” #IRREECHA celebration in Oromia where the crowd was chanting that action will be taken against Amharas living in Oromia unless they denounce Fano. The demonization of the Amhara people by Oromo nationalists and the administrators of Oromia over the last 30+ years is eerily similar to the demonization of Tutsi’s by Hutu nationalists and the Hutu government leading up the the #RwandaGenocide. The only thing missing is the trigger to start a large scale genocide, which could be a Fano advance to Addis Ababa in Ethiopia’s case. Top Ethiopian government officials, from Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 to high level Oromo Prosperity officials like Addisu Arega have threatened a Rwanda scale genocide on Amharas if their power is threatened. #AmharaGenocide #WarOnAmhara #Ethiopia

Just over a year ago, in April 2023, the Ethiopian government falsely claimed that it was dismantling all regional forces and went on to dismantle the Amhara Regional Forces while keeping other regional forces intact. When the Amhara people rose up in mass to protest this decision, the Oromo fascist led Federal government deployed the Ethiopian army and Oromo Special Forces to the Amhara region and waged a genocidal war on the Amhara people that has continued to this day. After facing multiple humiliating defeats at the hands of Fano for a over a year, the fascist Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 regime is now deploying thousands of newly conscripted federal forces and the Oromo Special Forces to the Amhara region for what it claims is a "final" offensive before the 10 months old state of emergency and complete communication blockade it has imposed on the Amhara region comes to an end next week. This video clearly shows the genocidal mindset of the Oromo Special Forces being deployed to the Amhara region.

The Perseverance of Welkait Amhara after 30 years of Ethnic Cleansing and Genocide at the hands of the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) Today marks the 3 year anniversary of the #MaiKadraMassacre, one of the largest and most gruesome massacre of civilians since war broke out in #Ethiopia on November 4th when TPLF attacked a military command post in Tigray. On November 9th, as TPLF forces were losing ground on all fronts, a Tigrayan youth group named Samri, led by Capt. Kassaye Mehar, went door to door in the town of Mai-Kadra and massacred over 1600 Amhara civilians. Mai-Kadra is a town located in the Amhara ancestral land of Welkait, or what TPLF and their Western backers call Western Tigray. In 1991, when TPLF came to power after the fall of the DERG regime, it annexed Welkait into Tigray and called it West Tigray. It's important to point out that TPLF started its armed struggle with the goal of "liberating" Tigray from Ethiopia, as their name clearly indicates. In order to make this a reality Tigray lacked two things; fertile land and an international border with a neighboring country, as Tigray was encircled by Amhara, Afar, and Eritrea inhabited lands. This is how their plan to annex Welkait (to the west) and Raya (to the south), two Amhara ancestral lands, came about. By annexing these lands as soon as they came to power in 1991 (way before the ethnic based constitution was ratified in 1994), they were able to achieve both goals of getting fertile land and having an international border with Sudan. If you're curious as to why Ethiopia is the only country in the world to have an article in its constitution (Article 39) that gives any of the ethnic based regions the right to secede from Ethiopia, the answer should be obvious by now. TPLF did not add this into the constitution so that Oromia or Somali region can declare independence, it was a parachute they were saving for themselves when they can no longer rule Ethiopia (they lost power in 2018). It's not like TPLF was not warned about the dangers of annexing the Amhara ancestral lands of Welkait and Raya. As @_HornAfrica pointed out in a tweet today, "Haileleul Getahun, in his book 'Assault on Rural Poverty: The Case of Ethiopia,' predicted two decades ago that Tigray annexing Welkait (Amhara lands) will trigger a regional conflict." ------------------------------------------- Excerpt from "Assault on Rural Poverty: The Case of Ethiopia", Published April 18, 2001: Therefore, the government chose to annex the land that was traditionally the home of other ethnic groups by force of arms. The TPLF's major concern appears to be the consolidation of its power base by developing economic resources that will enable it to withstand any attempts from outside Tigray to adversely affect its goal of having the potential to be economically self-sufficient. To this end, the government was very active in developing the necessary infrastructure and resettling Tigrayan returnees from Sudan and demobilized TPLF soldiers in these districts. By resettling Tigrayan returnees and demobilized TPLF soldiers among the Amhara ethnic population, the TPLF tried to change the ethnic configuration of the annexed area with a view to ensuring that the majority of the settlers are from Tigray. To reinforce its plan, the language of instruction in the government primary schools quickly changed from Amharic to Tigregna, even though a substantial number of Amhara families still remained in the districts. As time passed, the TPLF evicted the peasants of Northern Gondar and Wollo from their ancestral lands and annexed these areas to Tigray. The ethnically cleansed peasants from these places are now landless paupers, many exploited as cheap farm labor by the expropriators of their land. Others are forced to survive as beggars in Gondar, Dessie, and Bahar Dar. ... Considering the gravity of this situation and its future implications, two prominent Ethiopians from region 3 (Amhara region), the late Dagnew W. Selassie, and Fitaye Assegu wrote a joint memorandum to Prime Minister Meles Zenawi, asking him to annul or declare invalid the redrawing of boundaries along ethnic lines. To date, Meles Zenawi has not reacted one way or the other. Although information is scanty, it is now understood that the Ethiopian Patriotic Front (Keffagne), an underground movement for the liberation of Humera, Tselemt, Welkait, and Tsegede is now operating in the region. The TPLF, EPLF, and others started their movements in the same way as the Keffagne. These districts must be returned to their original killils, otherwise a bloody civil war possibly affecting the entire horn of Africa could erupt. ---------------------------------------- Fast forward to today, Welkait and Raya have been restored to their rightful owner and informally incorporated into the Amhara region for the past 3 years after the Federal, Amhara Special forces and Fano freed the areas from TPLF in November 2020. The Federal government has put these areas in a limbo for the past 3 years by refusing to ratify their incorporation into the Amhara region and refusing to release 3 years of budget. These areas have been getting by from budgetary support they're getting from Amhara region and individual contributions from Amharas. The Pretoria agreement that was signed by the Federal government and TPLF last November states that the resolution to these "contested" lands will be done through the constitution, but as stated earlier, these lands were annexed by TPLF in 1991, 3 years prior to when the Ethiopian constitution was adopted (1994). Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 in a recent speech said that the issue will be resolved through a referendum, but as the book by Haileleul Getahum illustrates, TPLF has spent the past 30 plus years ethnically cleansing the native Amhara and settling Tigrayans on these lands. So the Prime Minister saying this will be resolved through referendum is an indirect admission that he wants these lands to be given back to TPLF. This might raise a question of why Abiy would want these lands to be given to TPLF, as TPLF led an insurrection to topple his government. For Abiy, everything is about preserving his power. From his point of view, TPLF is too weak to pose a threat to his power. So handing back these lands to them won't pose a major threat, and will put him in good grace with the US government and can get him IMF and World Bank loans to save the crashing economy. With TPLF and Tigray weakened, the biggest threat to Abiy and his Oromo nationalist government are Amhara, as demonstrated by the all out war he has waged on Amharas since signing the Pretoria agreement. The reason he disband the Amhara Special Forces in April before disarming TPLF, and the reason he has waged a full scale war on Amharas to disarm Fano is to achieve his goal of weakening Amhara and handing over the Amhara ancestral lands of Welkait and Raya to TPLF as part of the Pretoria agreement that was sponsored by the US. The Amhara in Welkait and Raya are steadfast in their determination to live free as proud Amhara, after enduring over 30 years of subjugation at the hands of the ethno-fascist Tigray People's Liberation Front. They are now demanding for their land to be formally recognized as part of the Amhara region and their budget, that has been withheld the past 3 years, to be released. Meanwhile the Amhara in Gojjam, Gondar, Wollo, and Shewa have risen up and are fighting the new ethno-fascist in power, the Oromo Prosperity Party led by Abiy Ahmed, so they can live free as proud Amhara. After 50 years of torment, ethnic cleansing, and institutionalized genocide, the Amhara people have said enough and there is not enough drones or tanks or artilleries that Abiy can use to stop the rise of Amhara. #AmharaRevolution #WarOnAmhara #AmharaGenocide

Rumor has it, Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 is expected to launch an all out war against TPLF and Eritrea, following the African Union Summit, which concludes on February 16. The recent large-scale ENDF offensive in North Shewa and Wollo Zones of Amhara region, accompanied by a complete communications blackout, appears to be aimed at weakening Fano in order to prevent it from advancing toward Addis Ababa once a new northern war begins. So far the offensive has not been successful with ENDF facing heavy losses, with large scale civilian massacres reported in retaliation for these losses. At the same time, ENDF has been observed redeploying troops and heavy weaponry from South Gonder and other parts of the Amhara region toward Tigray. ENDF forces have reportedly been withdrawn from 13 of the 18 woredas in South Gonder, including Hamusit, Ibnat, Meketewa, Arb Gebeya, Welela Behar, Aja, Ayisa, Muja, and Wegeda, and shifted northward. TPLF has also been seen moving troops and heavy weapons toward Welkait and Telemt from Sudan, Shiraro, and Dedebit. A sizable force, along with logistics and heavy weaponry, has also been deployed yesterday in Maychew and Mehoni along the Raya front, signaling preparations for another offensive. The latest statement by Ethiopian FM Gedion Timothewos Hessebon further reinforces the likelihood of escalation, suggesting that the question is no longer if a war with Eritrea will occur, but when. And when the war eventually breaks out, Abiy is expected to point to this letter as evidence that he pursued every available peaceful option, framing the war as a last resort imposed upon him.

As Fano continues to make gains on the ground the likelihood of a Rwanda scale genocide being committed on Amharas in Oromia is extremely high. This has been hinted by top Oromo prosperity officials for months. Just a few months ago to justify his government’s ban of all Amharas from traveling to the capital, Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 himself stated that his government will kill hundreds of thousands, even more than DERG and the Red Terror, if his power is threatened.

“𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐀𝐦𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐲.” Al Jazeera English report from July 6, 2022 Mass protests brought towns in Ethiopia’s northern Amhara region to a standstill last week as demonstrators, largely university students, took their frustration to the streets over the June 18 massacre of hundreds of civilians by rebel fighters. Protests began in the capital, Addis Ababa, on June 25, before larger demonstrations were held in the cities of Gondar and the Amhara capital, Bahir Dar, through July 1. Protesters denounced the killings and criticised the government’s inability to curb worsening ethnic violence. “I went to the demonstration because I’m sick of violence against women and children,” said Geremew Habtemariam, a student in Bahir Dar who took part in protests last week. “Being ethnic Amhara is becoming a death sentence in some parts of the country.” Days after the protests, reports emerged of yet another mass killing of civilians in the country’s Oromia region on Monday. In the tragedy that triggered the protest, armed men killed hundreds of people two weeks ago in the Gimbi district of Oromia, some 380km west of Addis Ababa. The victims all belonged to the Amhara, Ethiopia’s second-largest ethnic group, and witnesses say killings began in the morning and continued unabated until the rebels left at about 4pm that day. Weeks later, bereaved father Abdu Ahmed said he remains broken over the loss of his teenage daughters Hayat and Birtukan. “They shot at everyone, even children and the elderly,” he told Al Jazeera over the phone. “What kind of madman targets defenceless girls?” “I’ve personally lost count of the number of bodies I’ve buried,” Ali Said, a survivor told Al Jazeera. “Many died from gunshots or in the fire, but I’ve discovered bodies that were hacked to death as well.”
