He said he will use a drone against any large “enemy target” if ethnic so called Amharas are that large target let it be it. He’s right the minute you raised arms against any government you become target of war regardless of the weapon type, I wouldn’t chose the kind of weapon I will use against any threat posing enemy.

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.

Ethiopia on the Brink of Full-Fledged Civil War: Ethiopia is on the verge of a full-fledged civil war as ethnic Oromo soldiers march towards the Amhara region, chanting slogans of aggression and targeting the ethnic Amhara population. This alarming development marks a significant escalation in the country's ethnic tensions, which have been fueled by inflammatory rhetoric from leaders within the ethnically Oromo-dominated Ethiopian government. On several occasions, leaders of the Oromo Prosperity Party have made statements inciting violence against the Amhara community. In one particularly instance, a party leader proclaimed that Oromo youth would no longer be sent to destroy the "Neftegna" (a derogatory term for ethnic Amharas) with mere sticks, but with full military backing, including drones. This rhetoric has been matched by actions, with the Ethiopian government's military resources increasingly being deployed as an ethnic tool against the Amharas. Video footage from Oromiya Bale shows Oromo youths, fully equipped and chanting "we will break Neftegna," heading towards the Amhara region with the apparent support of their local population. These videos have also captured Ethiopian military forces declaring their intent to target Amharas, showcasing the clear and dangerous intent of the state apparatus against this ethnic group. The Amhara Fanos, are fighting back against what they perceive as state-sponsored genocide. They have garnered the full support of the Amhara population, who see their actions as a necessary defense against an existential threat. This war is rapidly evolving into an ethnic civil war with a state-sponsored dimension. The Ethiopian military, security, and government structures, heavily dominated by ethnic Oromos, are utilizing all available resources to arm Oromo youths, effectively transforming a political struggle into a civil war. The situation is exacerbated by the government’s explicit endorsement of these actions, as evidenced by the hateful and violent statements made by its leaders. The international community must recognize the dire dynamics unfolding in Ethiopia. The clear shift towards a state-sponsored ethnic war requires urgent intervention. The world cannot afford to ignore the clear signs of impending genocide and must take necessary measures against the Ethiopian regime . The global response will be crucial in determining whether Ethiopia can avert a descent into further genocidal chaos and bloodshed.

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.

Ethnic Amhara Massacres Exposed by Ethiopian Parliament Representative: In a shocking revelation, Ethiopian Parliament representative Mr. Abebawe Desalew, elected in Jiga, Gojjam, Amhara region, has reported heinous acts of violence perpetrated by the Ethiopian military against civilians in his constituency. According to Mr. Desalew, unarmed civilians were massacred in broad daylight, forced to choose between being burned alive with gasoline or shot in the head. Mr. Desalew, who was born in the area and whose family still resides there, described a horrifying incident that took place in the city of Jiga. He recounted how civilians were executed on the street while pleading for their lives, emphasizing that they were not combatants but ordinary people. The exact location of this atrocity was Dembecha Ber Sefer, near Gohe Hotel, adjacent to a gasoline station. There, civilians were ordered to kneel and choose their method of death, a brutal act that underscores the severity of the violence. The parliamentarian asserted that the victims were all unarmed civilians, with no Amhara Fano fighters among them. He highlighted that the entire population of the city witnessed this massacre, further corroborating his claims. Mr. Desalew's bold statements provide crucial evidence of the atrocities amounting to genocide being committed against ethnic Amharas. Massacre in Debre Keraniyo Church: Another tragic event took place in the city of Keraniyo, Eastern Gojjam, at the Debre Keraniyo Church. During a monthly religious ritual, seven individuals were digging a grave for a recently deceased woman. According to the church's priest, Ethiopian soldiers armed with heavy machinery raided the church grounds. In an attempt to protect the congregation, the priest ordered the believers to seek refuge inside the church. However, the seven grave diggers continued their task, believing that their genuine work would spare them. Tragically, all seven individuals were brutally executed by government soldiers. The priest, deeply pained by the senseless violence, questioned the reason behind their killing, as they were merely performing a cultural duty of grave digging. Further reports indicate a systematic execution of Amhara youths by the Ethiopian military. Witnesses have stated that the military operates under a chilling motto: "Behind every Amhara, there is one terrorist." This has led to indiscriminate killings, including the execution of homeless street beggars and individuals with mental illnesses. In Jiga alone, over 23 unarmed civilians were executed, among them a well-known 35-year-old woman, Yiftu Getent, who was known in the city for her mental illness. Her body was found on the street, a stark symbol of the brutality inflicted upon the region. These massacres are just the tip of the iceberg. Ethnic Amharas in the region face an existential threat of state-sponsored violence, with numerous untold stories of suffering and death. Mr. Desalew's testimony sheds light on the urgent need for international attention and intervention to halt these atrocities and protect the Amhara population from further harm. The deliberate targeting and execution of unarmed civilians, including vulnerable individuals, call for immediate action to address and prevent further genocide against the ethnic Amhara community.

Ethnic Targeting and State Cruelty in Ethiopia: "Listen to the heart-wrenching plea of a mother, her voice laden with unbearable agony, as she begs Ethiopian authorities for the return of her son's lifeless body. In the shadows of neglect, the cries of Ethiopian mothers echo, their anguish overlooked by a world that inadvertently emboldens a tyrannical regime." The state media's release of video footage exposed the harrowing reality of for ethnic Amharas. In one agonizing frame, Nahusenay Andarge Tareke, an ethnic Amhara youth, lay bleeding to death while the state's national TV cameras rolled. Instead of rushing to aid the wounded, security forces callously watched, even laughing callously as a life slipped away. It was a reprehensible act, a betrayal of humanity, where saving a life should have been paramount, regardless of circumstance. The footage captured Nahusenay's excruciating pain, his desperate pleas for help falling on deaf ears. Such brutality serves as a stark warning, a chilling message meant to quell dissent against the ruthless regime reigning over Ethiopia. Abezergashaw's lifeless body, another victim of the violence, was also showcased, further highlighting the regime's disregard for human life. As if the atrocity wasn't enough, reports emerged of torture inflicted upon Habtabmu Andarge, a captured youth, adding another layer of horror to an already grim reality. Disturbing accounts of torture from Ethiopian prisons continue to surface, painting a picture of a regime devoid of compassion or mercy. The cruelty didn't stop at the scene of the shooting. Families, grieving and desperate for closure, traveled from the Amhara region of Gondar to claim the bodies of their loved ones, only to find themselves arrested upon arrival. In a heartbreaking audio clip, the anguished cries of a mother pleading for her son's body echo the pain felt by countless families torn apart by senseless violence. The arrests of grieving family members underscore the regime's ruthless grip on power, extinguishing any hope of justice or solace for those affected. This tragic incident is part of a larger pattern of ethnic targeting and persecution in Ethiopia. For months, ethnic Amharas have faced mass arrests, arbitrary confiscation of wealth, and systemic oppression. Businesses owned by Amharas are seized, their owners imprisoned, and their livelihoods destroyed simply because of their ethnicity. The orchestrated attack on the Amhara community, including the demolition of infrastructure and the targeting of youth, amounts to nothing short of genocide. Ethiopia has become a living hell for ethnic Amharas, with many fleeing for their lives, while the world remains largely indifferent to their plight. In the face of such unspeakable cruelty, one cannot help but question the absence of humanity and the deafening silence of the international community. As atrocities continue to unfold with impunity, the cry for justice grows louder, a plea for the world to open its eyes to the suffering of the Amhara people.

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?

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.

Failure to Learn from Past Mistakes: Gedu acknowledges that the government failed to learn from its five-year history of ineffective governance, implying that the purported reform efforts were misguided from the start. 2. Manipulating Political Problems: The former governor accuses the Prime Minister's government of orchestrating political issues and then resorting to military intervention to solve them, highlighting a troubling pattern that has persisted over the past five years. 3. Military Force vs. Political Solutions: Gedu asserts that military intervention cannot be a lasting solution to Ethiopia's political problems, and that pursuing peaceful political means is the key to achieving sustainable peace. He underscores that the Ethiopian nation's prospects for peace lie in political dialogue rather than the continued violence that has left a trail of devastation. 4. Addressing Legitimate Concerns: Gedu acknowledges the legitimate concerns of the Amhara population, emphasizing that addressing these concerns through political channels is crucial. 5. Regime's Political Failures: Gedu points to the regime's political failures and lack of accountability as the root causes of the ongoing crisis, shifting blame away from the people and armed groups. 6. Misrepresentation of Amhara Concerns: The former governor criticizes the government for mischaracterizing the genuine concerns of the Amhara people as extremism, urging a more considerate approach to address these legitimate issues. 7. Reform Reversed to Dictatorship: Gedu declares that the initially promising reforms have regressed into a form of dictatorship. 8. Victims of Ethnic-Based Violence: Gedu emphasizes that the Amhara population has been victimized by ethnic-based violence due to the government's failures, and laments the violent response to their demand for dignity and security. 9. Legitimate Anger and Concerns: The former governor highlights the justified anger and concerns of the Amhara people, emphasizing that military suppression will not quell legitimate questions. 10. Broken Relationship with Prosperity Party: Gedu asserts that the relationship between the Amhara people and the Prosperity Party has deteriorated beyond repair, casting doubt on the party's legitimacy to govern the region.

A Cry for Justice: Teenager's Heart-Wrenching Plea Amidst the Tragedy in Amhara region of Ethiopia. In a heart-wrenching video that has recently surfaced, a young ethnic Amhara teenager stands amidst the ruins of his brother home, tears streaming down his face, shouting to the heavens, and desperately pleading with God to end the nightmare that has befallen his family and his nation. The video captures the raw anguish and despair of a teenager whose world has been shattered by a brutal murder, a murder that occurred within the sanctity of his own home through a drone strike, a painful reminder of the dire situation in the war-torn Amhara region of Ethiopia. With a trembling voice, the teenager cries out, "Nobody can live in peace while Abiy Ahmed is still in power." His anguished words are a stark indictment of the more than two years of war that have plagued the region, leading to man-made starvation and unimaginable suffering for its inhabitants. The teenager's voice cracks as he mentions his brother, Belete, known as the honest farmer, who had struggled throughout his life to survive and provide for his family. Belete was tragically killed, leaving a void that can never be filled. In his plea to God, the teenager expresses his deep agony, claiming that he lost not just one but two brothers due to the actions of the Nobel Prize-winning Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. He repeatedly cries out "Egziabher," the Amharic name for God, while wishing for the end of Abiy Ahmed's rule for the pain he has caused. The teenager recounts the horrors of the air strike, describing how one brother was burned along with their home, while the other was brutally murdered. In the backdrop of the video footage, a scene of devastation unfolded. The remnants of a demolished house testified to the brutal air strike that had befallen the teenager's family. The roof and significant portions of the house lay in ruins, a grim reminder of the tragedy that had unfolded. The teenager's sister, carrying a picture of the deceased, followed a solemn Ethiopian tradition to express her profound grief and the grim reality of an air strike that had claimed her brother's life. This video is just a glimpse into the unimaginable suffering that has unfolded in the Amhara region. Reports from local sources suggest that the tragedy captured in this video is only the tip of the iceberg. Atrocities, war crimes, and massacres that amount to genocide have allegedly been committed by government forces, with full knowledge and complicity of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. The plea of this grief-stricken teenager and the harrowing scenes captured in the video highlight the urgent need for the world to break its silence and take decisive action against the brutal regime in Ethiopia. The suffering of the people in the Amhara region demands a response from the global community, a response that acknowledges the immense human cost of the ongoing war and seeks to bring an end to the cycle of genocide and destruction that has gripped this troubled nation.

A disturbing video circulating on Ethiopian social media reveals a chilling endorsement of genocide by a pro-government activist, raising alarms over the fate of ethnic Amharas. The video features a prominent regime supporter loyal to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, making a public call for the massacre of Amhara civilians as the "solution" to end resistance from the Amhara region, particularly in Gojjam. This rhetoric marks a dangerous escalation in the Ethiopian government’s ongoing war with the Amhara people and highlights the severity of the humanitarian crisis. In the video, the activist openly advocates for the mass killing of civilians, arguing that the Ethiopian military's struggle in Gojjam is due to the overwhelming support the Amhara Fano (local armed resistance group) receives from the civilian population. According to his explanation, the military’s losses in the region are not solely the result of combat with the Fano fighters but are also because the entire Amhara community in Gojjam—farmers, youths, and everyday civilians—supports and aids the resistance. The activist bluntly claims that the only way to defeat the Amhara Fano in Gojjam is by wiping out the civilian population, insisting that massacring the entire community is essential to breaking the resistance. He further suggests that without such brutal measures, the conflict will continue indefinitely, as the local population is perceived as an integral part of the resistance movement. The activist’s statements are a stark endorsement of genocidal violence, raising fears that these views reflect the broader strategy of the Ethiopian government. These calls for mass violence against civilians are not isolated rhetoric. On the ground, there have been numerous reports of heavy bombardments targeting Amhara civilians and infrastructure in the region. In Gojjam’s Mecha district, for example, over 45 drone strikes were reported within a span of just three hours, wreaking havoc on civilian lives and property. Despite these alarming developments, the international community, including global institutions and human rights organizations, has largely remained silent. The video provides a clear and disturbing context for the Ethiopian government's military operations, revealing the genocidal intent behind its actions. The silence of international institutions in the face of such blatant incitement to violence is deeply troubling. The world has witnessed countless instances of ethnic violence and genocide in recent history, often followed by solemn declarations of "Never Again." Yet, in Ethiopia, as calls for genocide against the Amhara people grow louder, there is a shocking absence of international outcry. How many more lives must be lost before the global community acknowledges the unfolding genocide ? This video, which can be independently verified as a genuine translation from Amharic, should serve as a wake-up call. The activist’s brazen recommendation to massacre an entire ethnic group should trigger alarm bells in international institutions and human rights bodies. It is not just a call for violence; it is an explicit endorsement of genocide, aimed at eliminating an entire population perceived as an obstacle to military victory. The Ethiopian government, under the leadership of Abiy Ahmed, is already carrying out operations that reflect this narrative—bombarding civilian populations with artillery and drones. The international community must act now, not after the genocide has already taken its toll. History will judge the world's response to the suffering of the Amhara people, and there can be no excuse of ignorance. The global community is aware of the situation, and failure to act is tantamount to complicity. It is imperative that human rights organizations, international bodies, and governments around the world address this genocidal rhetoric and prevent further atrocities.

The Tragic Tale of Niguse Qagnew: A Brutal End to a Dream In the remote Amhara region of Showa, Menze Zemero Kebele, a young man named Niguse Qagnew embarked on a journey fueled by hope and determination. Born into poverty, Niguse's mother, Abebu, sacrificed tirelessly to provide him with an education. Niguse's graduation from Hawasa University was not just a personal triumph but a beacon of hope for his impoverished rural community. Little did Niguse's mother know that the celebration would soon turn into a nightmare that would shock the nation and expose the brutal reality faced by ethnic Amharas. Niguse, armed with a degree in Statistics, secured a job offer and set out for Hawassa in 2016(Ethiopian calendar). However, his promising future took a dark turn on a Thursday morning when he called a neighbor, delivering a haunting message that would be the last communication with his family. "They are taking me, I miss my mom. Please tell my mother to pray for me, pray to Saint Mary that I will be back safely in her arms. Please, please tell my mother to pray for me," Niguse pleaded, his words shrouded in fear and uncertainty. From that day onward, Niguse's phone remained silent, and his whereabouts became an agonizing mystery. Abebu, unable to afford a phone, could do nothing but pray and weep, hoping against hope that her son would return unharmed. The heart-wrenching suspense came to a gruesome end when a horrifying video surfaced, revealing the unimaginable fate that befell Niguse Qagnew. The footage showed Niguse, stripped naked, being mercilessly beaten and dragged through the streets of Shewarobet, a victim of a targeted ethnic-based attack against Amharas. The assailants, fueled by hatred and blinded by ethnic biases, subjected Niguse to a brutal end that shattered his dreams and the hopes of his impoverished community. Abebu, upon witnessing the gut-wrenching scene, lost her sanity. The pain of seeing her son, who had strived to escape poverty through education, reduced to a victim of mindless brutality, was unbearable. She wailed, shouted, and repeatedly uttered the chilling truth – "They dragged my Niguse naked on the street, they beat my Niguse to death." Niguse's tragic fate is not an isolated incident; it stands as a harrowing example of the atrocities faced by ethnic Amharas in Ethiopia. Stories of violence, persecution, and ethnic-based attacks often go unnoticed by the world, leaving countless families shattered and communities in despair.

Through the act of translating and archiving firsthand accounts, I aim to create a record—a testament to the trials endured by the Amhara people, a record that cannot be erased or ignored. No longer can the world claim ignorance or feign innocence when confronted with the stark reality of systemic genocide and persecution against the Amhara people. By tagging every major institution, I compel those in positions of power and influence to confront their complicity in the face of such egregious violations of human rights. Your silence is not only a betrayal of the Amhara people but a stain on the conscience of humanity itself. Imagine a scene where desperation meets brutality, where a man, his stomach hollow with hunger, pleads for mercy, not for riches or privilege, but for sustenance, for the basic right to nourish his body and soul. This is the grim reality captured in the footage I present—a poignant portrayal of a daily struggle for survival amidst a backdrop of hostility and persecution. In the video, an Amhara man, driven by the gnawing pangs of hunger, implores Oromo youths for reprieve, his voice trembling with exhaustion and despair. Yet, instead of compassion, he is met with mockery and torment, his pleas falling on deaf ears. As he weeps, vulnerable and defenseless, the interrogations continue, probing his very existence, his crime merely being his ethnic Amhara identity and his hunger. "Why did you come here?" they demand, oblivious to his plight, indifferent to his suffering. And in his broken voice, he utters a simple truth—he came in search of sustenance, driven by the primal instinct to survive. But his words are lost in the cacophony of cruelty, drowned out by the deafening silence of those who should protect and uphold the sanctity of life. The video abruptly ends, leaving behind a void of uncertainty, a void filled with apprehension and dread. What fate befell the man in the aftermath of his plea? Was he granted mercy ? No he was condemned to further torment. The answer remains shrouded in darkness, a darkness that encapsulates the plight of the Amhara people—a darkness that demands illumination and action. To the leaders of international institutions, I extend a solemn admonition—a warning tinged with the weight of history. You may avert your gaze, feign ignorance, or turn a deaf ear, but you cannot plead innocence when confronted with the stark reality of systemic Amhara genocide and persecution. Your silence is complicity, your inaction a betrayal of humanity itself. For in the end, it is not only the Amhara people who suffer but the very essence of our shared humanity that is at stake.

The Call to Protect Heritage and Humanity: Lasta Lalibela's Plea for Peace ( By: Yuri Tadesse )? In the heart of the Amhara region, Lasta Lalibela echoes with the resounding cries of its people, fervently pleading for peace amid turmoil. The recent protests, a bold manifestation of frustration and fear, were not merely a demand for tranquility but a plea to safeguard an invaluable heritage. A local woman, amidst a gathering of fellow residents, religious figures, and government officials, articulated the harrowing events that unfolded within the realm of the world heritage site. Her voice trembled with emotion as she recounted the intrusion of government soldiers, disrupting the sanctity of the ancient grounds. Despite the absence of Amhara Fano, the region's defenders, the arrival of government troops instigated chaos, firing heavy arms and maneuvering combat vehicles within the sacred precincts. The woman's words bore witness to a moment of terror within Bete Amhanuel rock-hewn church, where the tranquility of ritual suddenly shattered amidst deafening explosions. The very foundation of the ancient structure trembled, prompting a frenzied rush to safety. It was an assault not just on the physical edifices but on the soul of a heritage dating back to the 12th century. In her impassioned plea, she emphasized the incongruity of war in a place meant for spiritual solace and historical reverence. Her call was clear and resolute: the military presence must cease for peace to prevail. The laughter of military commanders in response to her plea betrayed a bitter indifference to the atrocities that endangered lives and the irreplaceable heritage site. This region, nestled with rock-hewn churches and the revered wonder of Lalibela, embodies a treasure trove of history and spirituality. Yet, amid this cultural richness, Amhara Fano's struggle against the purported Amhara genocide has escalated into a full-scale war imposed by the Ethiopian government, leaving the region in a state of siege, devoid of basic necessities like electricity, food, and water. The urgent cry from Lasta Lalibela reverberates beyond its boundaries. It's a call for global attention, imploring swift condemnation and intervention to prevent further devastation. The world stands witness to not just an assault on a heritage site but on the collective history and humanity it represents. The plea from Lasta Lalibela is a reminder that peace isn't just an absence of conflict; it's the preservation of culture, history, and the sanctity of life itself. As the echoes of their voices traverse the world, the urgency to safeguard both heritage and humanity intensifies, beckoning for immediate action before irreversible damage befalls this timeless legacy.

“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.

One of my favorite news anchors Palki Sharma sums up perplexing actions of Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed in this piece on Vantage detailing his record of war and turmoil since ascension to power a mere 5 years ago. Continuous war and bloodshed Destruction of 3 regions in the north Famine (both man made and related to drought) Forced Displacement and ethnic cleansing Economic Turmoil and rising inflation Sustaining a governance system without checks and balances Corruption and aid embezzlement Poor diplomacy with neighbors Apartheid rule and rise of ethnic hegemony Massive human rights violations ..are just some of the achievements of Abiy Ahmeds government which boasted of bringing systemic change, equal representation and prosperity to the nation. And Palki remarks that Abiy Ahmed forgot the cardinal rule that "war is bad for business" and asks when the appropriate time is to rescind the honorable title of Nobel Price Laureate.

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.

ETHIOPIA: The ethically motivated forced displacement and demographic engineering in Oromia and Addis Ababa is a form of ethnic-cleansing and must immediately stop. In a country that currently holds the world record for the most number of internally displaced people (IDP), it's inhumane and counter-productive for the Ethiopian govt to conduct forced eviction and home demolition campaigns. An immediate moratorium on demolishing and forced evictions must be declared! According to local media, survivors and eyewitnesses, thousands of residents and students in the Kolfe neighborhood of Addis Ababa were attacked today by police for protesting the government's demolition of homes and the forced evictions of thousands of families in and around Addis Ababa. Just a few days ago, the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) - ኢሰመኮ) condemned the government for these ethnically motivated discriminatory evictions and human rights violations. Pushing ethnic minorities in the Oromia region and the people of Addis Ababa into a corner will backfire on Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 and exacerbate the unprecedented humanitarian crises in #Ethiopia. Today's unrest in the Kolfe (ኮልፌ) neighborhood of Addis Ababa is a sign. We call for an immediate eviction moratorium in and around Addis Ababa to stop the unnecessary and massive displacement of citizens.
