Report an Incident

Global Amhara routes you to organisations that document, investigate and pursue accountability. This page is a directory, not a reporting form.

Read first: your safety

  • Your device can be seized. Do not keep reports, photos or contact lists on a phone you carry through checkpoints. Delete sent messages and use disappearing messages where the app supports them.
  • Networks can be monitored. Prefer Signal or an organisation's secure app over ordinary SMS, phone calls or public Wi-Fi. A VPN helps but is not invisible.
  • Photos carry metadata. Location and time are embedded in photos and videos. Apps such as eyeWitness or Tella strip or protect this for you; otherwise remove it before sending.
  • Protect others. Do not name witnesses or survivors without their consent. Share only what the receiving organisation asks for.
  • If you are in immediate danger, contact people you trust before contacting any organisation.

What Global Amhara can and cannot do

ICAI is a body of scholars and professionals. It documents, analyses and advocates; it is not an investigator, a court or a humanitarian agency.

  • ICAI does not collect testimony, evidence or victim identities and has no form for them.
  • ICAI cannot investigate, arrest, prosecute or provide legal aid, protection or relocation.
  • ICAI can point you to organisations that do these things, publish alerts based on their documented findings, and press governments and international bodies to act.

Each referral below is owned by an ICAI working group and re-verified quarterly. If a channel no longer works, tell us through the general contact on the About page (no case details, please).
