A devastating civil war and humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia has now raged for more than a year with no end in sight. Large-scale armed conflict between the federal government and the armed forces of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front broke out in November 2020 and have since led Tigrayan forces beyond their northern stronghold to the outskirts of the capital, Addis Ababa, potentially threatening the stability and coherence of Ethiopia itself as a political entity. The war has caused tens of thousands of deaths and mass displacement in Amhara and Afar regions, in addition to more than 2 million people uprooted in Tigray alone. Widespread abuses including torture, sexual violence and in some cases mass killings have been committed by federal forces, their Eritrean allies, Tigrayan fighters and other armed groups swept into the conflict. Overshadowed by the war, inter-ethnic violence has deepened elsewhere in the country, particularly the Benishangul-Gumuz region where minorities have been massacred.

What is Happening in Ethiopia?

all sides committing atrocities (Tigray, Amhara, Oromia) all sides experiencing genocide govt is responding with excessive force on protestors

it sounds like the state committed genocide on tigray and then tigray blamed amhara for it

concentrate on humanitarian efforts, blame to govt, unity
