Every armed party in the Amhara conflict has harmed civilians; none has been held to account. We demand that detainees be charged or released, access for monitors and aid, an end to attacks on schools and clinics, and an international mechanism covering Amhara since August 2023.
EHRC reports a "widespread practice" of detentions in Amhara over alleged "Fano cells". Five journalists face terrorism charges over their Amhara reporting. We call for every detainee to be charged before a court or released, with access for families, lawyers and the EHRC.
No international body is mandated to investigate abuses in Amhara today. A guide to the UN, AU, ICC, universal jurisdiction and sanctions tools that could, and the status of each as of 15 October 2026.
In Arsi, the rights commission EHRC attributes attacks in 2026 to the OLA; tolls range from its 3 named dead to 37–40 in other reports. In East Wollega, accounts of the Aug 2026 killings blame opposite sides, and no national body has investigated. A sourced reading.
