Stop Amhara Genocide In Ethiopia

The Issue

Stop Organized Amhara Genocide in Ethiopia

The Amhara people played significant role for the existence of Ethiopia as an independent sovereign state for the last four thousand years. The people lived peacefully in all parts of the country in collaboration and friendship with other ethnic groups.

However, after the TPLF (Tigrian People’s Liberation Front) came to power in 1991, lots of false stories were fabricated against the Amhara race all over the country. As a result, more than five million Amhara died for the last 30 years in all parts of the country. This act of genocide committed in Somali, Oromia, Benishangul, Southern and Tigray regions.

In this year only (2020), more than two thousand innocent Amhara slaughtered. Most of their bodies left unburied and consumed by wiled animals. Such kind of mass killing still continues in alarming rate.  In a specific place named “Michadra”, border town of Tigray and Amhara region, more than 600 civilian Amhara were killed by organized Tigray youth named “Samere” and Tigray Militia.  

Therefore, all human race should stand for Amhara people by signing this petition which will be submitted to United Nations director, Antonio Gutierrez.
