“The combination of conflict, drought, and displacement is leading to a significant increase in hunger and disease outbreaks in various regions. Media reports have even described near-famine conditions in Tigray and Amhara. Disease outbreaks are spreading rapidly in northern Ethiopia due to the ongoing conflict, drought, economic shocks, and malnutrition. These conditions are particularly severe in the Tigray and Amhara regions. Between August 2022 and December 2023, over 30,000 cases of cholera were reported, highlighting the magnitude of the crisis.” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus

Shadey is one of the Amhara’s great intangible heritages celebrated in the last weeks of August each year. The festivity has different names in different parts of Amhara: in Raya Amahra (Solel), waghimra Amhara (Shadey), lasta lalibela (Ashendiye) Very recently, as early as ten years, the tigray people have tried to adopt this colorful culture through the help of the anti-Amhara woyanie regime and its corrupt institutions. Anthropologists argued that a cultural identity theft is harmful to the owning community and is claimed to be a violation of the collective intellectual property rights of the originating culture. However, Woyanie is adopted the Ashenda culture in a colonial manner where elements of this culture are copied and being misused and reduced to an exotic street festival outside of the context and against the expressly stated wishes of the owners of the culture, the Amharas. This misappropriating of Shadey is a disrespectful to the Amhara culture and its values. Someone takes something from your culture and uses it for their own benefit without no consequences is inappropriate and unacceptable. What’s more, ridicules is you cannot ask the UNESCO to inscribe the imitated culture on its world heritage list as your own property while still we the originating people are alive. This is an outright theft of a cultural identity. Even though we can argue that culture could be adopted or borrowed, requesting for intellectual property as your own heritage is no less than a cultural genocide and/or colonization. The tigreans tried intentionally distorted the meaning of the culture and using it without considering the socio-historical and religious circumstances and significance of these cultural forms so as not perpetuate the already existing majority and widely celebrated shadey among the Amhara community. The famous cultural theorist George Lipisitz called this “strategic anti essentialism” to refer to the calculated use of a cultural form, outside of your own, to define yourself or your group. #Ashendiye_shadey_Solel_2023 #AshendiyeAmhara2024

The Somali people of the Somali State reject any oil drilling in their region. Abiy, a dictator and warlord who has killed and starved 2 million Christians in the Amhara and Tigray regions, should face the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The international community must take strong action and sanction Abiy and his criminal cabinet. CIJ_ICJ

Why did Abiy banned Ashenda in Addis for Amhara and a couple of weeks later, allowed Oromo to celebrate in style? The motives are clear: Abiy is deliberately nurturing animosity between Amhara and Oromo to help him stay in power.

A hastily organized public protest by TPLF in northern #Ethiopia’s Tigray region calls for the return of “West Tigray”, and eviction of Amhara from Welkait, Humera & Raya. This move breaks the last semblance of “peace” in the Pretoria Peace Agreement.

Ethiopia's "most deadly war" Casualty estimates of #Ethiopia's two-years war, which started in the #Tigray region and a year later spread to #Afar and #Amhara regions, are far and between. But some reports are recognizing it as the deadliest war globally, both in its causality estimates & the total destruction of civilian infrastructure. Watch

SUDAN ― ☀️A second round of people-to-people dialogue under the umbrella of #Ximdo has taken place in Port Sudan, bringing together representatives from the Tigray, Amhara, Oromo, Ogaden, Gambella, Benishangul-Gumuz, and Somali communities, as well as opposition groups. Participants included Abdirahman Mahdi, one of the founders of the Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF). Hajj Ibrahim Osman Aliyu of the Afar National Union Revolutionary Front (ANURF) also delivered a message of solidarity online. Organizers argue the grassroots #Ximdo (or #Tsimdo) initiative seeks to promote peaceful coexistence and relations among border communities of #Eritrea, #Ethiopia, and #Sudan. Supporters of the initiative argue that the initiative that started a years ago has already contributed in developing trust among the people and achieved relative peace in parts of the #Tigray, #Amhara, and #Afar regions bordering Eritrea, without any military involvement.
