#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

UPDATE! The death toll from the targeted killing of Amharas in #Wellega as reported above has now reached 200. This latest killing has happened while we were working hard to obtain data on the March 24th and March 28th Killings. @amnesty is silent! 4/E

@AgnesCallamard we hope things will be different now that you joined @amnesty! We demand that you look into your office in the horn of Africa and question why the targeted #Amhara killings in Ethiopia are not consistently covered by @amnesty 5/E

@amnesty , @hrw & few others are not just HR organizations! Knowingly or unknowingly the various international offices have given these organizations unduly power to highlight or downplay various deadly humanitarian situations all over the world by depending on them too much 6/E

What we see now is the international community not acting on the #GenocideAgainstAmharas because it is not consistently covered by these organizations. The killings are now happening every day! Just in one location #Metekel, in 6 months over 2,500 Amharas were murdered 7/E

In the most horrific way! If your reports become a stepping stone for activating #R2P mandates across the world and you are quiet, how is that different from complacency? Pictures, Videos, Reports they all do exist! Demand #AccessToMetekel & #Acces2Wellega 8/

Please also demand for protection for #Amharas in Oromia region and their unlawful targeting in #AddisAbaba! Hold a campaign for the thousands of Amharas being massacred and show the world what kind of horror they are living under in #Ethiopia 9/E
