The American Ethiopian Public Affairs Committee regards the report from the untied nations as described by Marta Hurtado very disturbing and a concern for all peace loving people of the free world. “ many of those detained were reported to be young people of Amhara ethnic origin”. A dangerous sign of ethically motivate attack by the a government of Ethiopia on its Amhara citizens. The United Nations calls Ethiopian .authorities “to stop mass arrests, ensure that any deprivation of liberty is judicially reviewed and release those arbitrary detained. Authorities must ensure that conditions comply with international norms and standards. “ The UN further calls all international oversight bodies to be given unconditional access to all places of detention. AEPAC calls the United States congress and the State Department to join international bodies in guaranteeing the safety of detainees, full protection of their human rights, fair trail and demand to stop all human rights violations and abuses in all regions of Ethiopia, while holding individuals accountable for these and other related atrocities.

Senator Rubio (Marco Rubio) has bravely confronted authoritarianism, and demonstrated a rare understanding of Ethiopia’s political complexities throughout his tentur as a Senator.

The American Ethiopian Public Affairs Committee is closely monitoring the ongoing government assaults against the residents of Gonder, Gojjam, Wollo, and Shewa in the Amhara region. Disturbing reports persistently surface, documenting the escalating civilian casualties, injuries, and property damage inflicted by government forces. These assaults employ reprehensible tactics, including the use of heavy weaponry and drones—a display of cowardice and brutality. Recent accounts from the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC), the United Nations, and the European Center for Law and Justice (ECLJ), have meticulously detailed the government's atrocities. ECLJ’s vice president also delivered a report to the UN Assembly this week (video attached). Unfortunately, numerous international media outlets continue to report ongoing shelling by government forces, including in Lalibela, a UNESCO World Heritage site. In a country constitutionally designed to be prone to ethnic division and animosity among its citizens, it is prudent to stop this violence against Amhara civilians and prevent the government from expanding the conflict to Afar, Somali and southern regions. AEPAC urgently calls upon the US State Department and the United States congress to fulfill their responsibilities to prevent what could potentially become a crime against humanity of biblical proportion.

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.

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.

📌 Five Key Reasons U.S. 🇺🇸 Recognition of Somaliland Aligns with American Interests ⁃Strategic Location: Somaliland’s position on the Gulf of Aden, a crucial shipping route, enhances U.S. access to key trade routes and provides a strategic counterbalance to China's growing influence in the Horn of Africa, particularly in Djibouti. ⁃Regional Stability: Somaliland is a stable, democratic entity in a region plagued by conflict, including the ongoing instability in Somalia, Ethiopia, and Sudan. Recognizing Somaliland could reinforce U.S. support for democratic governance in a volatile area. ⁃Security Cooperation: Somaliland has proven itself a reliable partner in countering terrorism and piracy, cooperating with the U.S. on security matters. Recognition could deepen this partnership, bolstering U.S. counterterrorism efforts in the Horn of Africa. ⁃Taiwan Relations: Somaliland has strong ties with Taiwan, including mutual diplomatic recognition and collaboration. U.S. recognition would align with the Taiwan Allies International Protection and Enhancement Initiative (TAIPEI) Act, which encourages U.S. support for countries strengthening ties with Taiwan. ⁃Economic Potential: Somaliland has a growing economy, particularly in sectors like trade, infrastructure, and energy, including its renovated port in Berbera. U.S. recognition could open up economic opportunities and investments in a rapidly developing region.

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.

NEW: Republican Rep. Riley Moore calls on Secretary of State Marco Rubio to take "immediate action" to address the slaughter of Christians in Nigeria. "Christians are being persecuted and killed in Nigeria for professing their faith in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ." Moore is calling on Rubio to redesignate Nigeria as a Country of Particular Concern. "I urge you to use all diplomatic tools available ... and halting arms sales and all associated technical support until the Nigerian government demonstrates it is sufficiently committed to ending this reign of persecution and slaughter," said Rep. Riley M. Moore. Over 7000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria alone this year. 125,000 Christians have been slaughtered in Nigeria since 2009, according to Newsweek.

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.

"Public diplomacy at its finest! A grassroots, globally coordinated movement, free from political disputes, is crucial in supporting the struggle of the Amhara people for survival. The achievements of the Ethiopian diaspora in California's Santa Barbara County can inspire similar efforts across the USA, Europe, and Oceania. Unlike the TPLF, with vast financial resources to hire lobbyists, or the government of Ethiopia that has the state wherewithal at its disposal to access state officials of foreign nations, our Californian community shows that the most impactful influence on foreign policymakers comes from dedicated grassroots initiatives. It is incumbent upon those who claim to have taken responsibility to organize support for the cause of the Amhara people to take note of the achievements in California and act accordingly." #AmharaSurvival #GlobalSolidarity Amhara Youth Association🦅 Amhara Association of America (AAA) AmharaPopularFront Official Accountየአማራ ሕዝባዊ ግንባር @FanoEJDM Neamin Zeleke

JUST IN: President Trump takes action in defense of Christians in Nigeria who are being persecuted and killed for their faith. The announcement from Trump comes after Rep. Riley M. Moore persistently brought attention to the atrocities. “Christianity is facing an existential threat in Nigeria. Thousands of Christians are being killed,” Trump said on Truth. “Radical Islamists are responsible for this mass slaughter. I am hereby making Nigeria a ‘COUNTRY OF PARTICULAR CONCERN’” “The United States cannot stand by while such atrocities are happening in Nigeria, and numerous other Countries. We stand ready, willing, and able to save our Great Christian population around the World!” Amazing news.

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.

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.

Today, I hosted Secretary Antony Blinken for a detailed discussion of the battlefield situation, support for our soldiers, and ongoing defense cooperation. We discussed the need for Patriot systems in Ukraine to protect our cities and communities, such as Kharkiv and the surrounding region. Two Patriots for the Kharkiv region could significantly contribute to the protection of lives from Russian terror. We also talked about preparations for the Global Peace Summit. It is important for us that the United States and President Biden participate and that America's role in maintaining rules-based international order does not weaken. I am grateful to the American people, the United States Congress, and President Biden and his team for their support in our fight for freedom and independence. We appreciate the United States' decision to continue its support for Ukraine, and we discussed how to best implement the announced aid packages and get weapons into the hands of our warriors as soon as possible.

Open Letter to the International Community, Human Rights Organizations, and the United Nations Subject: Urgent Appeal to Protect the Pashtun National Jirga and Address State-Sponsored Terrorism in Pakistan To the Global Community, United Nations, and All Human Rights Organizations, We, the Pashtun Tahafuz Movement (PTM) United States, are writing this urgent open letter to bring to your immediate attention the severe state-sponsored repression against the Pashtuns in Pakistan. This grave situation requires global action to stop the escalating violence and ensure the protection of basic human rights. On October 11, 2024, the Pashtun National Jirga, a historic assembly rooted in Pashtun tradition for peaceful decision-making and conflict resolution, is scheduled to take place in Pakhtunkhwa. This gathering will unite Pashtuns from across the region to peacefully advocate for their rights and protest against state violence. However, in an alarming and oppressive move, the Pakistani state forces have confiscated the designated Jirga ground, turning it into a militarized zone. Armed security forces have built posts and established a strong presence in the area to prevent the peaceful assembly from taking place. These aggressive actions reflect the state's intent to violently disrupt the Jirga, intimidate participants, and silence the voices of the Pashtuns. In addition to this, the communication channels with Jirga organizers have been severed, isolating them from the outside world and making them even more vulnerable to state repression. The lives of those planning to attend are at immediate risk, and their fundamental right to peaceful assembly and free speech is being brutally denied. This confiscation of the Jirga ground and militarization of the space is not an isolated act but part of a broader, long-standing pattern of state-sponsored terrorism aimed at erasing Pashtun voices and suppressing their peaceful demands for justice. We urgently call upon the international community, the United Nations, and all human rights organizations to take immediate and decisive action: 1. Condemn the State’s Repressive Actions: Publicly denounce the Pakistani government’s confiscation of the Jirga ground and its use of armed forces to prevent a peaceful assembly. 2. Demand the Immediate End to Militarization: Call for the removal of military posts and security forces from the Jirga site, and ensure that the Pashtun National Jirga can take place without fear of violence. 3. Insist on Protection for Participants: Ensure that the safety and rights of all those attending the Jirga are protected, in accordance with international human rights standards. 4. Investigate Ongoing Abuses: Launch independent investigations into the human rights violations committed by the Pakistani state against the Pashtun people, including the confiscation of public spaces and violent repression of peaceful assemblies. 5. Hold the Pakistani Government Accountable: Urge Pakistan to comply with its international obligations to protect the rights of all citizens, including the Pashtun people, and to cease its discriminatory and violent actions. The silence of the global community in the face of these violations has only emboldened the perpetrators. We must not allow the Pashtun people to be oppressed and brutalized in the shadows. Immediate action is needed to prevent further violence and ensure that the Pashtun voices are heard. We appeal to all defenders of human rights and justice to stand with the Pashtun people in this critical moment. The world cannot turn a blind eye to this state-sponsored terrorism and the assault on fundamental freedoms. Thank you for your immediate attention to this urgent matter. Your action can save lives and uphold justice.

"We will fire drones just like any other weapons against ethnic Amharas; there is nothing special about it." Ethiopian Defense Field Marshal Birhanu Jula. In a video interview, Ethiopian military Defense Field Marshal Birhanu Jula discussed the massacre of ethnic Amhara civilians. He conveyed that Amharas should not complain about civilian massacres in the ongoing war, asserting that being in a war implies accepting the risk of death. He emphasized that since the people of Amhara were part of the agreement for the war, they should accept the consequences of death and refrain from expressing grievances about civilian massacres. Moreover, Jula clarified the purpose of drones, emphasizing their role in warfare. He specifically mentioned that the procurement of drones was for military use and not for media exhibition. Comparing drones to guns, he underscored that they are merely tools of war and would be used accordingly in Amhara region. He reiterated the military's firm intent to utilize drones as a weapon in the conflict. This speech has sparked debate regarding the ethical use of drones in warfare and the responsibility of individuals involved in war. The controversy surrounding Jula's statements raises questions about the morality of warfare and the acceptance of civilian massacres as an inevitable consequence. Ethiopian Field Marshal Birhanu Jula emphatically stated, "We will fire drones just like any other weapons; there is nothing special about it." He asserted that the drone attacks would persist. In the same video footage, the Ethiopian military field marshal collectively accuses ethnic Amharas of portraying the Ethiopian Military as a Muslim force, seemingly to incite religious violence between Ethiopian Muslims and Christians. This top-ranking military figure made careless and vengeful comments against Ethnic Amharas, emphasizing an intense use of drones, similar to other weapons, against ethnic Amharas. Critics argue that this threat indicates the Ethiopian military's significant setbacks on the ground against Amhara forces and raises concerns about potential genocidal actions against civilians. Recently, the Lemkin Institution for Genocide Prevention ( ) issued a genocide alert regarding ethnic Amharas in the Amhara region attributed to the Ethiopian military.

"We will fire drones just like any other weapons against ethnic Amharas; there is nothing special about it." Ethiopian Defense Field Marshal Birhanu Jula. In a video interview, Ethiopian military Defense Field Marshal Birhanu Jula discussed the massacre of ethnic Amhara civilians. He conveyed that Amharas should not complain about civilian massacres in the ongoing war, asserting that being in a war implies accepting the risk of death. He emphasized that since the people of Amhara were part of the agreement for the war, they should accept the consequences of death and refrain from expressing grievances about civilian massacres. Moreover, Jula clarified the purpose of drones, emphasizing their role in warfare. He specifically mentioned that the procurement of drones was for military use and not for media exhibition. Comparing drones to guns, he underscored that they are merely tools of war and would be used accordingly in Amhara region. He reiterated the military's firm intent to utilize drones as a weapon in the conflict. This speech has sparked debate regarding the ethical use of drones in warfare and the responsibility of individuals involved in war. The controversy surrounding Jula's statements raises questions about the morality of warfare and the acceptance of civilian massacres as an inevitable consequence. Ethiopian Field Marshal Birhanu Jula emphatically stated, "We will fire drones just like any other weapons; there is nothing special about it." He asserted that the drone attacks would persist. In the same video footage, the Ethiopian military field marshal collectively accuses ethnic Amharas of portraying the Ethiopian Military as a Muslim force, seemingly to incite religious violence between Ethiopian Muslims and Christians. This top-ranking military figure made careless and vengeful comments against Ethnic Amharas, emphasizing an intense use of drones, similar to other weapons, against ethnic Amharas. Critics argue that this threat indicates the Ethiopian military's significant setbacks on the ground against Amhara forces and raises concerns about potential genocidal actions against civilians. Recently, the Lemkin Institution for Genocide Prevention ( ) issued a genocide alert regarding ethnic Amharas in the Amhara region attributed to the Ethiopian military. The controversy questions the equivalence of drones to other weapons like guns. It prompts the world to contemplate its stance on alleged genocidal remarks while ethnic Amharas face the grim reality of slaughter. This situation might eventually be seen as one of the world's most egregious double standards in history.
