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.
Some Amhara health facilities have reportedly run out of emergency supplies (OCHA). The harvest is below average in Wag Himra and North Wollo. There is no verified count of the newly displaced. Recommendations to authorities, armed forces, OCHA and donors.
Atrocity Alert (Warning), dated record: at least 52 civilians reported killed around Alamata, 26–28 Sep, and a mortar strike in Kobo killed civilians. Perpetrators not established. We call for an independent investigation, protection of civilians by all forces and medical access.
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.
Global Amhara Knowledge Hub launches today. It will put evidence first and protect all civilians. Everything will be sourced, dated and published in English and Amharic, with corrections in public. Amhara Media Network (AMN), our YouTube channel, carries the conversation.
