World Leaders, International Organizations, and Human Rights Bodies
Your Excellencies,
I write to you with deep urgency and sorrow regarding the ongoing atrocities committed against the Amhara people in Ethiopia under the leadership of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali. Despite being a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Abiy Ahmed has waged a devastating war on the Amhara population, marked by ethnic targeting, indiscriminate killings, mass arrests, and systematic destruction.
in march 31/2025, following armed conflict between the national army troops and regional government militia, the army massacred 46 (names are attached) Amhara civilians in Gojam. Among the dead are children, women and elderly.
The scale of violence surpasses even the previous conflict in Tigray, and yet, the international response remains inadequate.
Reports from human rights organizations and eyewitnesses confirm that Ethiopian government forces, backed by drone strikes and extrajudicial executions, have carried out mass atrocities against civilians. Entire communities are being erased, humanitarian aid is being blocked, and those who dare to speak out face imprisonment or worse. This amounts to nothing less than genocide.
The international community cannot remain silent while another mass atrocity unfolds. The principles of justice, human rights, and peace demand immediate and decisive action. We urge you to:
1- Publicly Condemn the Atrocities – Issue statements denouncing the ethnic violence against Amharas and call for an immediate cessation of hostilities.
2 – Investigate War Crimes and Genocide Claims – Support an independent investigation by the United Nations, the International Criminal Court (ICC), and human rights organizations to hold perpetrators accountable.
3 – Impose Sanctions on Abiy Ahmed’s Government – Restrict financial aid, freeze assets, and impose travel bans on officials responsible for war crimes.
4 – Push for Humanitarian Access – Demand that Ethiopia allow unrestricted access to aid organizations to assist displaced and starving civilians.
History will judge those who remained silent in the face of genocide. We implore you to take action now before more innocent lives are lost. The Amhara people deserve justice, protection, and the right to live in peace.
