Survivors share chilling details of army killings in Ethiopia’s Amhara region
WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 17: Members of the Ethiopian community take part in a protest calling for the cessation of drone strikes on civilian populations in the Amhara region of Ethiopia during a protest at the White House on December 17, 2023 in Washington, DC. The current regime in Ethiopia under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has been accused of killing over 800 civilians and injuring 634 as it conducted over 100 drone strikes since August 3, 2023 in the Amhara region targeting civilian and non-military targets under the guise of striking FANO militia. The regime of Abiy Ahmed has been engaged in a war with the FANO militia since April of 2023 after it attempted to disarm the group without promising the Amhara region protection from the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front and elements of the Oromo extremist movement. The Amhara ethnic group has been facing mass murder and ethnic cleansing at the hands of both groups overtly and secretly over the past 30 years. (Photo by J. Countess/Getty Images)
