We endorse the call by 36 organizations, including HRW and Amnesty, for a Human Rights Council special session on Ethiopia. Any expert mechanism must cover the conflict in Amhara since August 2023, all parties, mass detention, attacks on schools and health care, and aid access.
Of 15 statements on Ethiopia, 7 Sep–15 Oct 2026, five mention Amhara, only one names an incident there, and none addresses the AFNM–federal war still being fought in the region. By October, diplomacy had moved to Ethiopia–Eritrea.
Since 22 Sep 2026 Amhara has sat on two fronts: a Tigray offensive into Raya and Wag that federal forces reversed, and a separate Fano–federal war now centred on North Shewa and Wollo. A guide, as of 15 Oct, to what is confirmed and what is claimed.
