THE SUFFERING OF THE AMHARA PEOPLE PERSISTS.
THE AMHARA PEOPLE FACE ONGOING HARDSHIPS AND SUFFERING IN THEIR REGION, MARKED BY DISTURBING ATTACKS AND HUMANITARIAN CRISIS. THEIR STRUGGLE ENDURES, FUELING AN URGENT NEED FOR SUPPORT AND SOLIDARITY.
TEARS OF AMHARA
The Tears of Amhara refers to the tragic and devastating events that unfolded in the Amhara all of Ethiopia. Alarming reports have surfaced regarding mass arrests and the existence of concentration camps within the Amhara region. The arbitrary detention and inhumane conditions endured by those in these camps are deeply concerning and must not be overlooked.
LOCKED
The shutdown of telecommunications further isolates the Amhara region from the rest of the world, making it exceedingly challenging to report on and document human rights violations. The shutdowns of independent media outlets and the widespread ethnic profiling and arrests of Amharas without due process worsen this perilous situation and underline the necessity for international intervention to safeguard these civilians.
AMHARA IDPs
The Amhara region has been at the epicenter of a protracted conflict that has forcibly displaced thousands of people from their homes, businesses, and communities. Internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Amhara region face immense challenges due to the ongoing conflict, including the current drought and the spread of diseases.
SEXUAL VIOLENCE
These acts of immense atrocities, including ethnic cleansing, mass killings, extrajudicial executions, the deliberate creation of famines, and the use of sexual and gender-based violence as a weapon, are instances of rape and gang rape.
INTENTIONAL RUIN
The absence of accountability is closely linked to the deliberate destruction of critical infrastructure and cultural heritage sites in the Amhara Region. Hospitals, schools, markets, and religious institutions have been intentionally targeted, resulting in the loss of essential services and the erasure of the region's cultural identity. These deliberate acts demand international attention and condemnation.
WAR CRIMES
The use of heavy weaponry in various parts of the Amhara region has resulted in significant destruction and loss of life. For example, residents of Lalibela have urgently raised awareness about heavy artillery fire in their town, originating from Shimbrima, just a few miles away from the historic rock churches of Lalibela.
