Brutal massacre of the Amhara people of Ethiopia in progress. Thousands of people killed by government forces in a recent massive civil uprising. Ethiopian forces have systematically used excessive force in their misguided attempts to silence the peoples voices.

The Amhara, Ethiopia’s second largest ethnic group, are threatened by genocide by the government-led Tigray People’s Liberation Front. 2.5 million Amhara killed since 2010. International help and assistance is sought. The genocides have continued for over 30 years in Ethiopia.

The current crisis in Ethiopia arising out of the long term oppression of the most populace ethnic groups in the country: the Oroma People and the Amhara People. According to 2007 census the ruling Tigray ruling party only represented 6% of the country population but maintained absolute control of all aspect of government, including the military.

Ethiopian ethnic groups: Oromo 34.4%, Amhara 27%, Somali 6.2%, Tigray 6.1%, Sidama 4%, Gurage 2.5%, Welaita 2.3%, Hadiya 1.7%, Afar 1.7%, Gamo 1.5%, Gedeo 1.3%, Silte 1.3%, Kefficho 1.2%, other 10.5%.

The massive civil uprising in Ethiopia last week has captivated the attention of the world. Needless to say the world is now well aware of the protest by the Oromo ethnic group, the so called Oromo Protest, that has been going on for the last nine months. The second largest ethnic group, the Amhara, joined the uprising last week. The magnitude and consistency of the uprising in Amhara is quite a surprise and uncommon for many non-Ethiopians, including the mainstream media. It has however been observed that larger mainstream medias are reluctant to report on this uprising for reasons that remain unclear. On top of this, there is very little information available that exposes the immeasurable suffering of the Amhara people under the TPLF (Tigray People’s Liberation Front) dictatorial rule. This article aims to fill this information gap so that one may fully grasp the deteriorating political situation in Ethiopia – even though it is a daunting task to express inumerable years of suffering inflicted on the Amhara people in just one article. This should be considered a simple framework that outlines some specific insights.

TPLF is the current ruling party in the Ethiopian dictatorial government. There is no difference between TPLF and the government. TPLF was formed as a guerilla fighter group representing Tigrayan People which accounts for 6% of the Ethiopian population. When TPLF took power 25 years ago, it fabricated different political alliances in the name of other ethnic groups in the country, such as OPDO (Oromo People’s Democratic Organization) and ANDM (Amhara National Democratic Movement) representing the Oromo and the Amhara respectively. However, these political alliances have no legitimacy in the eyes of the people which they claim to represent. They are mainly serving the TPLF as a trojan horse to solidify TPLF’s sinister repression upon the people of Ethiopia.Having said this, I will now attempt to discuss the untold and least reported plight of the Amhara people in two categories. The first category is The crime of ethnic cleansing perpetrated on the Amhara people . The second category will be The Welkite Identity restoration movement. The crime of ethnic cleansing perpetrated on the Amhara people

It is estimated that more than 2.5 million Amhara have been killed since 2010. Government troops and state actors are responsible for the genocide. Human rights violations continue and government officials must be brought to justice for war crimes.
International attention is needed to stop the ongoing massacre.
