On 11th March, a five-minute clip has been circulating on Facebook and Twitter, showing armed men throwing a man onto a fire in #Ethiopia.
Several other prisoners had already been burnt to death before the man’s murder by the Ethiopian soldiers and government-linked militias.

Due to the disturbing and graphic nature of this video, I will not be sharing it in full as it is too graphic for @Twitter. DM me if you want access to the full video.
#GPE_AtrocityReport: March 30, 2021, #Babu Woreda, #Wellega, #Oromo Region #Ethiopia. A coordinated attack by OLF/OLA and Oromo regional forces against targeted ethnic Amharas left 70 Amhara farmers dead. No one has ever been made accountable for these heinous crimes against 1/E
humanity. Local reporters have stated that 27 buses full of fleeing Amharas left Wollega already. Such mass exodus out of an area just because they are targeted due to their identity is a horrible indicator to what is to come, as the fighters are more emboldened, organized 2/E
and coordinate even further with the regional security apparatus. The situation in #Wellega and #Metekel is extremely grave! We demand #access2metekel #access2Wellega 3/E
@SecBlinken @NicolaADeMarco @AbiyAhmedAli While the concern is timely!The information you got regarding Welkait what TPLF calls "West Tigray" is absolutely wrong. The atrocity in Maikada ('west Tigray') was committed by TPLF! There's solid proof. Even the TPLF lead admitting who the victims were 1
@SecBlinken @NicolaADeMarco @AbiyAhmedAli The labeling however has made the ongoing #GenocideAgainstAmharas worse! TPLF was working on demonizing Amharas for 45 years (when they started their armed struggle with Derg), result is whenever they have a setback, they always blame it on Amharas. Derg wasn't an Amhara gov, 2/
@SecBlinken @NicolaADeMarco @AbiyAhmedAli same with Dr. Abiy who hails from an Oromo party. But all the same the demonization and targeting goes 2 Amharas. Right now pro-TPLF & pro-OLF forces are planning a joint campaign to get more Amharas killed back in Ethiopia. The statement made it worse 3/

While the executive side (Department of State) partially passed judgement regarding the situation in Ethiopia. The legislative wing has looked into the situation even more. So they pressed for cessation of hostilities as expected of any friendly country who doesn't want war 2/
When asking 4 cessation they asked for Eth Gov. +TPLF + other forces to all stop.They didn't just make it on one side, because in reality war happens between 2 or more groups. You can't ask just one side to stop. They mentioned all the back and forth for the 2 years b4 the war 3/
