In recent years, Ethiopia has experienced a significant escalation in human rights violations, further exacerbated by conflicts in the Tigray, Oromia, and Amhara regions. While these issues have garnered international attention, the extent of the abuses, specifically those inflicted upon the Amhara population, lacks sufficient coverage. This report to address this oversight by offering a thorough examination of the severe human rights challenges faced by the Amhara community.
The findings of this report reveal a troubling pattern of extensive human rights abuses against the Amhara people in Ethiopia, marked by recurrent incidents of massacres, extrajudicial killings, drone strikes, forced displacements and mass arrests. These acts are predominantly driven by ethnic and religious discrimination, leading to substantial casualties, and exacerbating conflicts within the country. The Ethiopian government’s response to these violations has been critically insufficient, with many instances suggesting possible negligence or even direct state involvement in the human rights abuses. This ongoing crisis has inflicted severe humanitarian consequences on the Amhara population, including widespread displacement. Furthermore, the plight of the Amhara people has been largely overlooked on the international stage, indicating a critical need for increased global attention and action.
These violations not only qualify as crimes against humanity but also evince a systematic trajectory toward genocide. Given the gravity of these offenses, there exists an immediate imperative for an impartial investigation under the auspices of the United. This report aspires to catalyze such an inquiry and also to inform policymakers, human rights organizations, and the general public about the imminent risks facing the Amhara community.
