Video footage has emerged depicting the aftermath of a devastating drone attack on unarmed civilians in Finoteselam, Amhara region of Ethiopia. The distressing footage showcases several lifeless bodies strewn across the streets, many of them suffering in excruciating pain. This leaked video is just one of numerous instances of drone attacks targeting civilians in the Amhara region, a dire situation exacerbated by a regional internet blackout.
As the world's attention remains focused on Ethiopia's ongoing crisis, the suffering of innocent civilians in the Amhara region continues to escalate. Drone attacks, once regarded as a distant threat, have become a harrowing reality for the local population. The video footage serves as haunting evidence of the indiscriminate violence unleashed upon civilians in the region.
The gravity of the situation is amplified by the prevailing internet blackout in the Amhara region. With communications severed, information flow has been severely restricted, leaving many to wonder about the full extent of the atrocities committed. The fear is that when the internet connection is eventually restored, more heart-wrenching stories and evidence of brutality will come to light.
The Fano, a grassroots resistance movement formed in response to the massacres of Amharas, has been at the forefront of the struggle for justice and protection of their community. However, their efforts have been met with a harsh response from the Ethiopian government, under the leadership of Nobel laureate Abiy Ahmed. Reports suggest that Abiy Ahmed ordered drone attacks targeting the entire Amhara population, further exacerbating the crisis.
In a recent development, the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission released a report that sheds light on the numerous atrocities being committed in the Amhara region. These include drone attacks on civilians, street killings, and extrajudicial executions. The findings of the report underscore the urgent need for international intervention to address the deteriorating humanitarian situation.
As these horrifying events unfold, the world's response has been marked by silence and inaction, betraying the Amhara ethnic community in Ethiopia. International stakeholders must recognize the severity of the crisis and take immediate steps to condemn the violence, call for accountability, and support efforts to end the attacks on civilians.
The people of Amhara deserve justice, protection, and the opportunity to rebuild their lives in peace. It is imperative that the world stands in solidarity with them and holds those responsible for these atrocities accountable for their actions.

At a time when #Amhara people are facing genocidal violence, @SecBlinken's support of the Ethiopian government speaks to the US's ongoing failure to advance human rights in the international community.
Where is the "shared commitment to peace" for the Amhara people? When will the US show leadership and speak to the many human rights abuses that include concentration camps, extrajudicial killings and ethnic profiling of Amharas. The mention of "prosperity" refers to Abiy's Prosperity Party and the Prosperity Gospel, not to the rights of poor vulnerable people to live stable, prosperous lives.
You cannot build peace and prosperity on the bodies of the dead. We should all oppose this trend of supporting violent regimes over people. Our shared humanity demands it. #AmharaGenocide
Spoke with Ethiopian Prime Minister @AbiyAhmedAli about our shared commitment to advancing peace and prosperity in Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa.

Evidence emerging from the #Amhara and Oromia regions of Ethiopia, as well as from the capital city of Addis Ababa, have led the @LemkinInstitute to conclude that there is a strong probability that the Amhara people are facing an active genocide committed by members of the Ethiopian National Defense Forces and armed Oromo groups. This genocide follows the genocide committed by President Abiy Ahmed against the #Tigray people in northwestern Ethiopia, which is ongoing in the form of forced displacement from the Western Zone and insufficient access to basic needs.

Hi @HumanRightsHLS, as we speak the #Amhara community is facing war crimes by the Abiy regime with impunity despite the CoHA to end the civil war in Northern #Ethiopia. With this being said, including an Amhara panelist would be helpful in the spirit of transitional justice.
With the sole international justice mechanism on #Ethiopia at risk of being closed, many are raising alarms of what’s at stake if justice, once again, is sidelined.
Join our event co-organised with @HumanRightsHLS discussing these concerns and solutions: hrp.law.harvard.edu/hrp-even…

Thousands of Amhara civilians, like Mengstu Alem, from Behme Mariam Kebele on the outskirts of Bahir Dar, endure unimaginable suffering in repurposed storage facilities turned concentration camps. Basic necessities are absent, and lives are lost. This underscores the ongoing tragedy faced by Amhara people all over Ethiopia. We urgently call for global action to stop this.

Are you asking why the FANO are fighting the "Government Forces" in Ethiopia? Why are there battles to liberate the Amhara region from "the government"? Scenarios like Alemu's recounted below and thousands of other ethnic Amharas and those not in line with the Ethiopian government's biased ethnic governance system became the norm. The open, brutal slaughter of newborns, infants, children, women, and the elderly, non-military targets in areas under government control NOT in theaters of combat became commonplace. Well-organized acts of ethnic cleansing and massacres such as the Gimbi massacre that claimed the lives of over 1,500 ethnic Amharas in a matter of hours were committed with impunity. We owe it to Alemu Beyene and the thousands of other survivors of ethnic cleansing to fight for the future of the country and the freedom of ALL Ethiopians to live freely in their own country. CHAGNI, ETHIOPIA - DECEMBER 31: Alemu Beyene, 35 of Dubata Warada in the Benishangul-Gumuz region was displaced a year ago and now stays in a displaced persons camp on December 31, 2020 in Chagni, Ethiopia. Ethnic violence in Benishangul-Gumuz, particularly against members of the Amhara ethnicity has been escalating in recent months, including a deadly attack on December 23 in the Metekel Zone that left more than 207 people dead. Alemu says that the federal government and then the Gumuz Elders in Benishangul-Gumuz negotiated with those Amhara displaced by previous attacks promising them peace and resolution and the Amhara residents returned. The Gumuz elders even provided transport for the Amhara to return to their homes in the Benishangul-Gumuz region. Alemu continued: “A few months later after they returned, planted and began harvesting of crops, the Amhara suffered violent attacks at the hands of Gumuz militia. In one night in early December 2020 the Gumuz destroyed an entire Kebele (district) called the Apar Kebele. After the slaughter of a large number of people the Kebele has remained unoccupied until this day". Alemu tearfully continued: “We lived in the next town over so I wanted to save my family. I put them on the public bus to Chagni in the Amhara region but the Gumuz militia stopped the bus on the road in the town of Kido in Metekel (on December 12, 2020). They removed my family and 44 others from the bus and killed them. My wife and my three children, 12, 6 and 3 had their throats slit. After I buried my family I returned to my home only to be attacked again by Gumuz militia wearing old military and Gumuz Special Forces uniforms. They killed 25 of my neighbors and left me wounded. Afterwards I escaped here to Chagni."

The Amharas of Ethiopia are not only fighting a war declared upon them by ‘African Hitler’ (Abiy Ahmed) but also resisting Nazi Abiy Ahmed's lead terror, #AmharaMassacre and #AmharaGenocidal war, and 50 years of apartheid rule, pogrom, genocide, ethnic cleansing, and oppression.

There is no government system at all anymore,” said Tilahun Tarko, a Kobo resident. He said he was sitting in his neighbor’s house on Tuesday when the building was hit by an artillery round. “No one trusts the government in this area,” said Tedros Abyou, a resident of Wereta, a regional crossroads, where protesters previously closed the road.”'

I can’t believe this… 💔💔
My entire family is in utter shock. Mulugeta has been a family friend, and one of my aunts best friends since childhood. I remember he used to come and visit us every time we came to Addis in his trademark baby blue VW Beetle.
I just got off the phone with her, weeping as she told me the tragic story of his death, caused by the lawlessness of this country that allows OLA to operate with impunity only 60km from Addis Ababa.
He leaves behind 3 children and an elderly mother that depended on him.
