Breaking News: Amhara Fano Forces Conduct Mission in Addis Ababa, Targeting Government Security Forces Unverified video footage has emerged depicting a daring mission carried out by Amhara Fano forces within the capital city of Addis Ababa. Reports suggest that the operation was executed without harm to civilians, with the sole objective of targeting government security forces. According to local sources in Addis Ababa, the Fano forces involved in the operation are believed to be affiliated with the larger Amhara Fano forces, which has been engaged in war with the regime of Abiy Ahmed, whom they accuse of perpetrating genocide against the Amhara people. The purported mastermind behind the mission, Major General Nahusenay, reportedly chose to take his own life rather than surrender to government security forces. Surrender is viewed as a dishonorable act in Amhara culture, dating back to ancient times. The Ethiopian regime has been taken aback by the strength and resilience of the Fano forces and has responded by intensifying crackdowns, targeting innocent Amhara civilians in Addis Ababa. Disturbing reports have emerged of ethnic Amharas being transported to concentration camps reminiscent of World War II standards. The international community is urged to remain vigilant and condemn the atrocities committed by the Ethiopian regime. This incident underscores the fragility of the Ethiopian government and highlights the Amhara Fano forces as potential allies in stabilizing the Horn of Africa. However, the targeting of Amhara civilians in the capital city cannot be ignored and must be met with condemnation and accountability.

#Ethiopian Foreign Minister: #Ethiopia’s State Formation Still Disputed, and is shaped by a Culture of Violence The following is what the current Ethiopian Foreign Minister said about the flawed nature of Ethiopia’s state formation and how it is still contested and shaped by a violent political culture. This is verbatim; I have not added any opinion. 'The process through which the Ethiopian state was formed is rather unique on the African continent. In most parts of the world, states are formed through conflict, violence, and bloodshed. That does not make Ethiopia unique. What makes Ethiopia unique—particularly in the African context—is that the violence was carried out by indigenous, native forces. The main protagonists in this process were Ethiopians themselves. By contrast, in the history of most African countries, state formation was the outcome of colonial conquest, with significant involvement of European actors. So, we have a state formation process driven by local political forces, but we did not have the opportunity to strengthen or cement that process through a social contract, nor did we have the chance to heal the wounds and contradictions that emerged during state formation. As a result, the legitimacy of the state was questioned and contested by some. This contestation has persisted throughout the formation of the state and has been exacerbated by subsequent events. Some have challenged the very legitimacy of the Ethiopian state; others have contested its nature, its vision, its identity, and its narratives. Some have found it difficult to accept its institutions and their configurations. Thus, there have always been fundamental contradictions stemming from Ethiopia’s state formation process, and we have not adequately addressed them in a way that would create consensus among key actors. Another layer we need to consider is that we have a very violent and autocratic political culture. Whenever there are contests for power, political differences, or disagreements over policy or institutional arrangements, the method of resolving them has more often than not been conflict. Imposing one’s will and vision on others through violence and force has been how we have conducted politics for generations. And once in power, using autocratic means to consolidate authority has been common practice. This autocratic and forceful approach, combined with the flawed state formation process, has produced many wounds, grievances, and violations. We have not been able to address these in a way that is satisfactory to most Ethiopians. On top of this, attempts to resolve these problems have often been divisive, emphasizing differences at the expense of what unites us. As a result, our politics has become polarized and ethnic-based.

“Security forces repeatedly used the derogatory term "ሽንታም አማራ" (Shentam Amhara) during detention—a phrase deeply embedded in Ethiopian culture, denoting fearfulness and cowardice.” Christian Tadele (Distinguished member of the Ethiopian House of People's Representatives) In a gripping courtroom narrative that echoed with the resonance of truth, Christian Tadele, a distinguished member of the Ethiopian House of People's Representatives, bared his soul to recount the egregious injustices he endured at the hands of his own government. Stripped of his parliamentary immunity and detained unlawfully, Tadele's testimony served as a searing indictment of a regime bent on silencing dissent at any cost. Facing the court yesterday, Tadele's words resonated with a potent mix of defiance and despair. "I harbor no illusions of justice from a tyrannical regime," he asserted, his voice a clarion call for accountability. Yet, undeterred by the specter of oppression, he remained resolute in his commitment to speak truth to power, knowing that his testimony would be etched into the annals of history. Recounting the day of his arrest, Tadele painted a vivid tableau of humiliation and degradation. He detailed how security forces repeatedly used the derogatory term "ሽንታም አማራ" (Shentam Amhara) during his detention—a phrase deeply embedded in Ethiopian culture, denoting fearfulness and cowardice. The word "ሽንታም" specifically connotes someone who urinates on themselves out of fear and humility.This calculated assault on his ethnic heritage, he explained, was emblematic of the regime's insidious strategy to sow division and discord among Ethiopia's diverse communities. Tadele underscored that the deliberate use of such a demeaning term by regime forces targeted ethnic Amharas, intending to degrade and demoralize them. This insidious tactic, he explained, aimed to fracture the spirit of the Amhara people while also signaling the dominance of an Ethnic Oromo-led government. Tadele's ordeal did not end with his arrest. He recounted chilling tales of physical abuse and intimidation, inflicted not only upon himself but also upon his loved ones. His home was ransacked, his possessions looted, and his very essence defiled. Forced to endure unspeakable horrors, he bore witness to the depths of depravity to which his captors would descend in their relentless quest to stifle dissent. Yet, amidst the darkness, there burned a flicker of defiance. Tadele refused to be cowed into submission, steadfastly asserting his right to challenge the powers that be. "How dare you demand accountability from the prime minister?" his captors sneered, their words dripping with contempt. But Tadele stood firm, a beacon of courage in the face of tyranny. As he concluded his testimony, Tadele spoke not only for himself but for all those who have suffered under the yoke of oppression. "For eight months, I endured trauma and indignity," he declared, his voice tinged with righteous indignation. Yet, even in his darkest hour, he clung to the hope that his words would serve as a rallying cry for justice. As Tadele's testimony reverberates through the hallowed halls of justice, let us heed his call for accountability. Let us stand in solidarity with all those who have been silenced and oppressed. And let us never forget that the pursuit of truth and justice is the sacred duty of all who cherish freedom and human dignity.

Video footage shows a priest, dressed in ritual garments, being forced to carry a dead hen around his neck while remaining silent, as he is paraded through the streets. The chants of "crucify him" by the ethnic Oromos witnessing the incident reflect a disturbing level of animosity and a regression to archaic methods of addressing grievances. Such events in the Oromiya region of Ethiopia have brought to light disturbing instances of abuse targeting Ethiopian Orthodox priests, particularly those belonging to the ethnic Amhara community. The priest's agony and humiliation are clear, highlighting the severity of the situation and reflecting the anti-Amhara sentiment prevalent within certain political circles. The abuse directed at Orthodox ethnic Amhara priests stems from a political belief held by some Oromo nationalists who view Amharas as settler colonizers. According to this narrative, Amharas allegedly oppressed ethnic Oromos through the Ethiopian monarchy, the imposition of the Amharic language, and the dominance of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Consequently, the Orthodox Church is perceived as a tool of colonization and is targeted for restructuring by Oromo dominance. The abusive treatment of Orthodox priests not only highlights the escalating religious tensions but also reveals the deep-rooted ethnic divisions within Ethiopia. The chants of "crucify him" by the ethnic Oromos witnessing the incident reflect a disturbing level of animosity and a regression to archaic methods of addressing grievances. This situation is exacerbated by the anti-Amhara sentiment among certain political leaders, which is now filtering down to grassroots levels, perpetuating discrimination and fostering a hostile environment. In addition to external pressures, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church faces internal challenges related to demands for ethnic-based restructuring. Some Oromo nationalists advocate for the appointment of an Oromo archbishop, mirroring the country's political Ethnic Federalism. However, this proposal has faced significant opposition, with many faithful emphasizing the unity of the church and opposing the disintegration of its leadership along ethnic lines. The abuses against Orthodox Amhara priests are part of a broader campaign to create a homogenous Oromo land. Ethnic Amharas are subjected to forced evictions, massacres, and systemic tools designed to displace them from the capital city of Addis Ababa and other Oromiya regions. These actions perpetuate ethnic tensions and exacerbate the already fragile social fabric of the country. The mistreatment of priests, coupled with the broader discriminatory practices against ethnic Amharas, underscores the urgent need for the international institutions to address these issues promptly.

Ethnic Division Within Ethiopian Military: In a shocking revelation, a leaked audio recording of the Ethiopian military's second chief in command has exposed deep-rooted ethnic divisions within the armed forces. The recording sheds light on how the military is allegedly divided along ethnic lines, with claims that ethnic Oromos hold significant positions both within the military and government. These revelations have raised concerns about the unity and stability of the nation. The leaked audio, purportedly from General Abebaw, highlights growing dissatisfaction within the Ethiopian military. It suggests that each ethnic region has formed its own sizable military force, leading to fragmentation and a lack of cohesion within the armed forces. Furthermore, the recording suggests that loyalty within the military is tied to ethnic affiliation, with individuals from specific ethnic groups supporting their own leaders. The leaked audio recording of General Abebaw has raised serious concerns about the state of the Ethiopian National Defence Force (ENDF). According to him, the ENDF is ill-equipped to defend the country against external threats, citing the defense and security system's effectiveness as zero. He attributes this critical situation to the replacement of well-educated and experienced military personnel with inexperienced individuals from ethnic Oromo backgrounds. Of particular concern is the claim that the current Oromo-affiliated government is attempting to replicate the military structure of the Tigray-dominated EPRDF government of the past. General Abebaw warns that this approach may fail, given the deep-seated ethnic divisions that plague the military. General Abebaw goes on to reveal that the current government's alliance with Saudi Arabia has influenced the ENDF's decision-making. High-level security projects are allegedly being handed over to Saudi Arabia as a form of solidarity, a move that was previously forbidden by the late General Seare due to the potential national security threats it poses. The ramifications of this leaked audio have already started to materialize. Recent reports indicate that Amhara Fano forces have been advancing their struggle, taking control of major cities such as Debrebrhan. The situation has further escalated with reports of other ethnic groups in the south supporting the Amhara Fano struggle. Only through genuine efforts to address ethnic divisions can Ethiopia navigate this perilous situation and secure a path toward lasting peace and prosperity for all its citizens.

Rape of minor boys as old as 5 , by Ethiopian Military Forces in Gondar, Amhara Region: In the midst of Gondar, Amhara region, a dark cloud of horror looms as reports emerge of heinous acts perpetrated by Ethiopian military forces. Among the victims, age offers no protection, as minor boys as old as 5 are subjected to unimaginable violence of rape. One particularly harrowing account comes from a mother, her voice trembling with anguish as she recounts the unspeakable ordeal of her 5-year-old son. Rushed to the hospital, medical examinations confirm the grim reality: her son has become a victim of rape and sodomy at the hands of Ethiopian military personnel. Desperate to shield her son from further harm, she consents to post-exposure prophylaxis, a grim reminder of the irreversible trauma inflicted upon him. Tragically, he is not alone. Disturbing reports continue to surface, revealing a pattern of assaults targeting children as young as 5 year old , 9 and 11 year old , all falling victim to the brutal actions of those in power. These atrocities unfold against a backdrop of attack , marked by the recent onslaught launched by government forces led by Abiy Ahmed. Gondar bears witness to a reign of terror, with rape emerging as a sinister weapon of war, systematically employed to terrorize and subjugate the populace. The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission corroborates these grim realities, documenting the relentless campaign of violence against ethnic Amharas. Yet, the world remains largely indifferent, turning a blind eye to the suffering of a community besieged by unspeakable horrors. The mother's anguished testimony reverberates through the silence, a stark reminder of the pain and suffering endured by countless others. In a society bound by cultural norms, speaking out against such atrocities remains a daunting task, compounded by fear and stigma. Once more, ethnic Amharas find themselves abandoned to their fate, victims of a relentless onslaught that spares neither age nor innocence. As the cries of the oppressed echo through the corridors of history, the world stands at a crossroads - will it continue to avert its gaze, or will it rise in solidarity against the tide of injustice threatening to engulf us all?

It has been 3 years since the brutal and targeted massacre of Amhara's in the town of Mai Kadra in Welkait, Gondar. On Nov 9th and 10th of 2020, Tigrayan armed militia and a kill squad called the Samri youth group attacked Kebele 1, a settlement quarter housing primarily Amhara residents of Mai Kadra. 3 years later there has been no justice and accountability for these victims and their surviving families. 3 years later the people that ordered the massacre have signed a "peace deal" and resumed office. 3 years later not only have the people who waged the ethnic cleansing of Amharas from this region in northern Gondar not faced justice, but they have made the counter claim that the victims were Tigrayan and the villains were Amhara forces. 3 years later the documented names of the actual victims still remains as evidence of #AmharaGenocide (Look Below) 3 years later a full fledged war on the Amhara people of Ethiopia has been waged by the Federal government and the people are fighting a war for survival from further elimination 3 years later, the truth remains ignored by mainstream media, the international community and human rights agencies. But the survivors have told their stories. We have documented their accounts, identified the victims (thanks to the University of Gondar) and we continue to advocate for 1. Acknowledgement of the egregious crimes committed on the Amhara people of Mai Kadra, Welkait as a whole, and throughout the country for decades. 2. Justice and Accountability for the criminals who committed these acts and fled to Sudan and to Tigray 3. Restitution for the people who are still living in horrific situations #MaiKadraMassacre is one we will never let them forget. President Donald J.
