🚨 Over 40,000 Amhara civilians displaced, six farmers killed in @AbiyAhmedAli regime drone strike and entire villages burned as attacks escalate across East Wollega and Horo Guduru Wollega Zones
A 24-hour situation report covering Kiremu, Abe Dongoro and Gida Ayana Woredas in East Wollega and Horo Guduru Wollega Zones, Oromia Region, describes widespread attacks against Amhara civilian communities, including killings, drone strikes, the burning of entire villages and mass displacement.
▪️Kiremu Woreda: More than 40,000 civilians fled their homes over two days following attacks and the burning of residential communities in Boqa, Agemsa and Haro Hudit by Oromia Region Gadaa Commando forces. Displaced families sought refuge in the Seji and Wofchi forests, while villages near Gamsa were burned to the ground. ENDF personnel stationed near Kiremu allegedly failed to respond to residents’ requests for protection.
▪️Abe Dongoro Woreda: Oromia Region Gadaa Commando forces and armed personnel wearing ENDF uniforms entered Tulu Wayo, where up to 10 members of a family and their neighbors were subjected to a deadly attack. The rural town was completely destroyed, while several Amhara transport drivers were arrested and their vehicles confiscated.
▪️Gida Ayana Woreda: Renewed mobilization targeting Amhara communities was reported around Lelise, Waja and Lelitu Anger. Families whose homes were previously burned on August 12–13 reportedly experienced a third round of displacement.
▪️Drone strikes and aerial operations: Extensive drone reconnaissance was reported around Uke Airport, Chincho, Bijit, Chereti and Boqa. Six Amhara farmers were killed and 11 others seriously injured in a nighttime drone strike. Approximately 12,000 displaced civilians were also reported trapped in remote wilderness areas without safe evacuation routes.
▪️Humanitarian emergency: Thousands of displaced civilians, including children, mothers and elderly residents, are reportedly sheltering in forests without adequate food, medical assistance or shelter.
🚨 Oromia Region Gadaa Commando forces burn down two Amhara-inhabited towns and destroy half of a third amid heavy fighting across seven frontlines in Wollega
Heavy fighting erupted across seven frontlines in the Wollega of Oromia Region on November 3rd, 2026, involving Oromia Region Gadaa Commando and regional security forces against local Fano self defense units in Kiramu, Abe Dongoro and Haro Woredas. According to local sources, Gadaa Commando forces carried out coordinated attacks targeting Amhara civilian communities, completely burning down the rural towns of Galesa and Charo and destroying approximately half of Abidongoro Town. The attacks reportedly caused widespread displacement of Amhara residents and extensive destruction of residential homes, villages, businesses and public service institutions.
Fano units engaged the attacking forces across multiple fronts in an effort to protect Amhara civilians from killings, sexual violence and further destruction of property. The fighting has left numerous communities displaced, while the full extent of civilian casualties and material losses remains unknown.

ETHIOPIA ― This video circulating on social media evokes disturbing memories of the early days of the Rwandan genocide.
Thousands of ethnic Amhara were seen displaced from #Welega in search of safety, having lost faith in the government’s ability to protect them.
Tragically, hundreds have reportedly been killed in Arsi Zone because of their ethnic identity and, in particular, their Orthodox Christian faith.

🚨 Oromia Region’s territorial disputes with neighboring regions reveal a broader pattern of expansion targeting strategic land, mineral resources and economic corridors
Oromia Region’s recurring territorial disputes and armed confrontations with neighboring regions reflect a broader pattern of expansion aimed at consolidating control over strategically important territories, natural resources and major economic corridors across Ethiopia.
On November 4th, 2026, armed forces allegedly operating in coordination with Oromia Region’s security apparatus carried out a deadly attack in Dalti, Buldiglu Woreda, Assosa Zone, Benishangul-Gumuz Region. Local Benishangul-Gumuz government officials, militia commanders and civilians were among those killed. The attack has been linked to an alleged effort to seize the area’s substantial gold and marble deposits and incorporate the territory into East Wollega Zone of Oromia Region.
The incident comes amid the ongoing war over Moyale between Oromia and Somali regional forces, as well as the annexation of Awra Godana and Amora Bet from Amhara Region three years ago, strategically important transportation corridors connecting to the Djibouti railway and seaport. Similar territorial disputes and boundary tensions have also affected Gambella, South Ethiopia, Southwest Ethiopia, Gedeo and Afar.
Oromo officials territorial claims involving Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa further illustrate the geographic scope of these disputes, which extend beyond administrative boundaries to economically and geopolitically important urban centers, transportation routes and resource-rich territories.
Taken together, these confrontations and competing territorial claims illustrate a recurring pattern of expansionist ambitions attributed to the ruling Oromo Prosperity Party led by @AbiyAhmedAli.
🚨 Over 105 people killed in OLA attack in Buldiglu Woreda, Benishangul-Gumuz Region, including civilians, children and security forces
More than 105 people were killed on November 5th, 2026, when armed militants identified as the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), also known as OLF-Shene, launched a surprise attack on Daleti Kebele in Buldiglu Woreda, Assosa Zone, Benishangul-Gumuz Region.
According to @MeseretMedia, the attack began around dawn, killing civilians, including children and young people, alongside members of the regional riot-control forces, police and local militias. Most victims were killed by gunfire, while others were stabbed to death. Numerous people sustained injuries, and armed militants reportedly looted shops and private property throughout the area.
A regional government official attributed the scale of the attack to serious security failures, including ignored intelligence warnings, despite government security forces being stationed nearby. The official also disclosed allegations that information about OLA movements had been deliberately concealed, prompting an investigation by regional authorities.
Healthcare workers described the casualties as unprecedented in scale for the area, while local residents accused the government of failing to prevent repeated attacks.

The images from Wollega, Ethiopia are reminiscent of Rwanda. Thousands of ethnic Amhara survivors, carrying what little they have left, fleeing a killing zone. This is not displacement. This is expulsion by terror. The world cannot claim it did not see it this time.

🚨BREAKING NEWS. ADDIS ABABA. ETHIOPIA’S CAPITAL ON EDGE.
The Abiy regime is facing an existential crisis. Its grip on power appears increasingly fragile, and the country may be approaching a historic political collapse.
Is the end of Abiy Ahmed’s rule drawing near?

Why is it someone who supposedly has a "Focus on the Horn of Africa" doesn't know there's been a war going on for the past three years between Fano and the regime?
It's not that "insecurity persists" -- there's outright ETHNIC CLEANSING OF AMHARA!
Please pay closer attention.
IMF approved a four-year, $3.4 billion program for Ethiopia in July 2024 . By June 2026, disbursements had reached nearly $2.65 billion. So where is this money going?
Over the same period, fighting has flared again in Tigray, insecurity persists in Amhara and Oromia, and tensions between Ethiopia and Eritrea are raising the risk of a wider regional war.
What is more, Ethiopia has become a party to a war beyond its own borders. Sudan is being struck by drones launched from Ethiopian territory, from the Asosa and Bahir Dar bases. The IMF has become the biggest partner in Ethiopia’s regional aggression.
The measure of the IMF’s success should not be how much money it disburses, but whether that money improves the lives of Ethiopians.

🚨 @AbiyAhmedAli regime security forces block families from visiting survivors of Jari No. 2 IDP camp drone strikes that killed over 31 Amhara civilians, amid reports of a cover-up
Sources on the ground revealed on November 5th, 2026, that Abiy regime security forces have prevented relatives and local residents from visiting and caring for survivors of last week’s deadly drone strikes on the Jari No. 2 Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp near Hayk Town in Tehuledere Woreda, South Wollo Zone, Amhara Region. Four drone strikes targeting the camp killed more than 31 displaced Amhara civilians from Wollega, including up to three pregnant women, more than seven children and at least six women. Survivors suffering from injuries are currently receiving treatment at Hayk Hospital, Dessie Hospital and Boru Meda Hospital. However, relatives and residents who attempted to visit the wounded at Hayk Hospital were forcibly turned away by security forces.
According to sources, local Prosperity Party officials and security personnel imposed restrictions on hospital visits to prevent further details about the severity of the drone strikes from reaching the public and media, raising allegations of an organized effort to conceal the extent of civilian casualties. Meanwhile, wounded survivors receiving hospital treatment and displaced families remaining at the camp are experiencing severe psychological trauma, ongoing security threats and shortages of medical assistance.
🚨 Amhara IDPs displaced for a second time after deadly @AbiyAhmedAli regime drone strikes on Jari IDP camp killed at least 23 civilians and injured over 40 others
Amhara internally displaced persons (IDPs) who survived the October 29th, 2026, drone strikes on the Turk Camp, administered under the Jari IDP Camp near Hayk Town in Tehuledere Woreda, South Wollo Zone, Amhara Region, have been forced to flee their shelters once again. The strikes killed at least 23 civilians and severely injured more than 40 others, according to eyewitness accounts. Survivors have since abandoned the camp and scattered across surrounding streets and areas, fearing additional attacks by government drones or fighter jets.
The displaced civilians had originally fled massacres and identity-based attacks targeting Amhara communities in Oromia Region, losing their homes, livelihoods and belongings before seeking refuge in Amhara Region. Many had already endured severe humanitarian hardship before the latest drone strikes targeted the camp where they had sought safety. Now facing displacement for a second time, survivors remain exposed to further violence and worsening humanitarian conditions, with their access to safe shelter and essential assistance uncertain.

“Mr. Speaker, it is an honour to table e-petition 7556. The petitioners highlight that, since early 2023, armed conflict in the Amhara region of Ethiopia has involved Ethiopian government forces carrying out indiscriminate violence and sexual gender-based violence against civilian populations and infrastructure, including through the use of aerial strikes, leaving more than 4.4 million children out of school and hundreds of thousands displaced.
The petitioners also highlight that the Ethiopian government has carried out the arbitrary detentions and torture of Amhara journalists, civilian society leaders, members of Parliament and opposition figures. They highlight that the incumbent Prosperity Party administration won 90% of federal Parliament seats in the June 2026 general election despite ongoing armed conflicts, mass civilian displacement, suppression of civilian society and opposition, and the exclusion of major ethnic communities, making conditions for a free and inclusive vote impossible.
The petitioners note that Canada provides over $147 million in development assistance to Ethiopia and maintains significant diplomatic, commercial and humanitarian interests in the country and the Horn of Africa. They are calling on the government to consider the application of the Justice for Victims of Corrupt Foreign Officials Act to oppose targeted sanctions on individuals credibly identified as responsible for grave human rights violations in Ethiopia. They publicly demand an immediate ceasefire in the Amhara region and the unconditional release of all political prisoners and prisoners of conscience held by the Ethiopian government.
Lastly, the petitioners call on the Government of Ethiopia for strengthened transparency around the June 2026 general election results toward an inclusive democratic process.”
