The Holy Synod in Ethiopia and abroad should break their silence and bring forth the religious persecution of Ehiopian Orthodox followers to @UNHumanRights and @Oikoumene. The situation is getting out of hand where people are being killed daily just for being who they are and practicing their Faith which is a basic human right. @AbiyAhmedAli himself has repeatedly made false accusations and remarks making #EOTC followers targets. His Government has yet to issue a single statement denouncing these killings confirming the action is state backed. @indefchristians @archbishophenok @Pontifex @Joe__Bassey @EA_DevCouncil @HolocaustMuseum

𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐚 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚'𝐬 𝐀𝐦𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐏𝐞𝐨𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐝: We express our sincere gratitude to the Santa Barbara County Board of Supervisors (@countyofsb) in California for their historic decision to unanimously pass a resolution in support of the #Amhara people, in light of the harrowing reports of state-sponsored civilian massacare, ethnic cleansing and genocide in #Ethiopia. This resolution, a powerful stand for human rights, underscores the critical role of community-level advocacy in sparking international attention and action. 📍In the wake of this resolution, we call upon the Biden administration to take immediate and assertive steps to address the ongoing human rights violations in Ethiopia. It is imperative that the United States, as the leading funder of the Ethiopian government, leverage its economic, diplomatic and political influence to support the Amhara people and all affected communities, ensuring accountability for those responsible for the atrocities and working towards a lasting peace in the region. #AmharaGenocide CC: @SecBlinken, @AsstSecStateAF, @MikeHammerUSA, @SenFeinstein, @SenAlexPadilla, @RepAdamSchiff, @RepMaxineWaters, @RepDevinNunes, @RepSwalwell, @RepJames, @RoKhanna, @RepBarbaraLee, @RepKatiePorter, @KarenBassLA, @RepTedLieu, @RepSaraJacobs, @RepJasonCrow, @RepJimCosta, @NaquettaR, @ImanforColorado, @zehabesha, @zborkena, @IRF_Ambassador, @StateIRF, @USCIRF, @nadinemaenza, @USCIRF, @IrfSecretariat, @IRFSummit, @Sean_ADFIntl, @UK_FoRBEnvoy, @NazilaGhanea, @TheIRD, @StateDRL, @AsstSecStateAF, @indefchristians, @richghazal, @HellenicLeaders, @PersecutedSave, @markdtooley, @ProvMagazine, @OrthodoxyNews, @MikeHammerUSA, @USEmbassyAddis, @MikeJohnstonCO, @RepJoeNeguse, @AmericaEthiopia

A new wave of intense propaganda is being undertaken to silence the survivors and conceal the stories around the victims in what was one of the bloodiest and most brutal episodes in the ongoing genocide against the Amhara people in Ethiopia. We need to revisit Mai Kadra and Humera and tell the survivors stories until they realize justice. MAI KADRA, ETHIOPIA - MARCH 5, 2021: Tilahun Baye, 35, recounts his escape from Samri and TPLF death squads that attacked Mai Kadra and Humera on March 5, 2021 in Mai Kadra, Ethiopia. He states: "I spent November 9, 2020 on the outskirts of Mai Kadra in the farmland. On the next day, in order to save my life me and other laborers started escaping towards Sudan which is 40 kilometers away. But while on our way we encountered 20 to 30 Tigrayan Smari youths and Tigray special forces who are heading towards Mai Kadra after cleansing Amharas in Farm camps. They started shooting towards us, killing some of us dead and wounding others. I was among the wounded, but I pretended to be dead. Believing I was dead they left me, afterwards I escaped and crossed the Sudanese border with the help of other survivors. But once I got to Sudan we saw those youths who killed our friends, claiming they are civilian refugees. When they recognized me they even accused me of being a killer and prohibited from getting medical treatment. On November 15, a Sudanese General took me to a medical center and I returned back to Ethiopia with the help of Ethiopian Embassy". The violence occurred during a wider conflict between the Ethiopian government and the TPLF that ignited on November 3, 2020, when forces aligned with the TPLF attacked the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) Northern Command headquarters in Mekelle, the capital city of the Tigray region and 4 other Northern Command military installations and numerous soft targets.

It’s been 200 days since authorities in Ethiopia cut off internet access to the Amhara region, leaving people struggling without access to essential communication. #KeepItOn Restore internet access in Amhara now!
