ከጥቂት ሰዓታት በኋላ መልዕክቱ ከሚኒስቴሩ ድረገጽ ቢነሳም የፈሰሰ ውሃ ሆኖባቸዋል።

The UAE, Yemen, Kuwait, Kazakhstan, and several others also sent their best wishes, only to later realize that the TPLF is no longer in power and «Ginbot 20» is no longer a public holiday in Ethiopia.

Opinion
Ethiopia’s Silent War on Amhara: Blood, Drones, and the Cost of Power

May 27, 2025

In African history, dictators like Idi Amin and Omar al-Bashir are remembered for killing their own people to stay in power. Today in Ethiopia, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is sadly following the same path. His war on the Amhara people shows he values power more than human life.

The Blood-Stained Reality in Amhara

On March 31, 2025, more than 40 innocent people were killed by government forces in Brakat town, North Gojjam. Among the dead were women coming back from the market, children inside their homes, and even the elderly and mentally ill. The soldiers went from house to house, not searching for justice, but shooting anyone they found.

Just a few weeks earlier, on March 2, 2025, in Jiga town, Gojjam a 2-year-old child was killed during another house search. Imagine a baby, shot in his own home by the same government that should protect him. The pain in the eyes of mothers and fathers who lost their children is hard to describe.

The towns are full of crying women. The old cannot run, so they die. The young cry out in fear when drones fly overhead.

Daily Drone Attacks and Fear From the Sky

Every day, the sky brings terror. Abiy Ahmed’s government is using drones to bomb areas in Amhara. These are not attacks on military camps. These are attacks near homes, schools, farms, and churches.

In some cases, children playing outside have been hit. Families who gather to mourn are afraid even to hold funerals in public. Residents in places like North Shewa, Gojjam, and Gondar say the sound of drones is now part of daily life. No warning is given. No reason is explained. Just death from above.

Schools Closed, Dreams Crushed

Because of the war, many schools in Amhara are closed. Children are staying home, not because they want to, but because it’s dangerous to go to class. Parents fear that their kids will not come back.

This is not just a war on people. It is a war on the future. A war on hope. A generation is being left behind.

No Sense of Ethiopian Blood

Abiy Ahmed shows no emotion, no regret. He does not visit grieving families. He does not speak with compassion. Instead, he continues the war—on television and on the ground. Why?

He wants to hold onto power at all costs.

He believes it’s time for Oromo rule, using ethnic identity to win support, while ignoring the fact that many Oromo people are also suffering.

He fears the unity of the North. He thinks Amhara, Tigray, and Eritrea will one day rise against him, so he attacks them now.

He lacks maturity as a leader. A true leader brings people together. He divides them with bullets and fear.

The World is Watching—But Not Acting

The most painful part? The international community is mostly silent. While organizations talk about peace, very few take real steps to stop the violence. The killing of children, the burning of homes, the shutting down of schools—these should bring outrage. But instead, there is quiet.

The Amhara people feel abandoned by the world.

The Amhara Region Bleeds

The soil of Amhara is wet with blood. Mothers scream at the sight of their dead children. Churches are filled with mourning. Villages are empty. Fear lives in every home. The cries of the people are not heard by their own leader.

History will not forget this. And neither will the Ethiopian people. Abiy Ahmed may silence voices today with guns and drones. But the truth will rise. The pain of the Amhara will be written in history—not just as victims, but as people who endured when the world turned its back.

Please first compare Eritrea's GDP (PPP) per capita and GDP (nominal) per capita of Ethiopia.

I am not sure conventional statistics knows anything about Eritrea.

In any case,
The GDP ( PPP) per capita of Ethiopia $3,057 (i.e, Purchasing Power Parity) and GDP (nominal ) per capita was $1,272 in 2023.

https://www.worldometers.info/gdp/gdp-per-capita/

The GDP per capita for Eritrea $688. This is almost the debt of Ethiopia. Suppose this debt were for Eritrea. Everything Zero.

Note: - I made this comment because your ulterior motive is attacking Ethiopia not PP-OLF Abiy Ahmed. You guys hate Ethiopia more than OLF. Dawud Ibsa was your favorite guest with the hope to destroy Ethiopia.

Eritrea's GDP per capita is projected to be 754.96 USD in 2024. This is an increase from the 715.10 USD in 2023 and 650.82 USD in 2022. The African Development Bank Group projects a GDP growth rate of 2.9% for 2024.

Having said that, the devil is in the details. The wealthy in AA, are not the Ethiopian people.

Even your doctors, who're supposed to be high earners in the society are revolting.

A doctor in Eritrea earns on average, $1200-1500/month.

In Ethiopia, $85:



University lecturers: $79 in Ethiopia and $640 in Eritrea.
We grow our own food, while millions in Ethiopia still must be fed by aid groups.

Need I continue?

I don't hate Ethiopia. It doesn't make sense, because it's just a country. I hate your successive leadership, though.

Does it make any sense to you, that he borrows money and builds a palace for billions for himself to then turn around and ask the people to help pay it back?

Is the Afar Region About to Become Abiy Ahmed's Next War Zone?

Ethiopia’s «Nobel Peace Laurate» is once again reaching for the old, ruthless playbook: divide & conquer.

This time, the target is #Tigray. The method? Exploiting the looming, or better say long-standing, grievances within the Tigray people itself.

According to various social media reports, the Abiy Ahmed regime is quietly backing a "rebel group" made up of former Tigray Defense Forces (TDF) fighters hailed mainly from the increasingly anti-TPLF areas of Raya, Tembein, Enderta, and Agame.

These forces are being trained and supported by Abiy Ahmed from a secured base inside the Afar region so turning Afar into a potential launchpad for yet another civil war among Tigrayans.

This is a dangerous game of turning brother against brother. Abiy’s aim is to shatter Tigrayan unity from within, and to achieve that, he’s managed to lure Brig. Gen. Gebrezgiabher Beyene (nick named Wedi Antiru) away from the TDF to lead this rebel faction. The group has already begun pushing out propaganda, flaunting their presence online. (See the pics below)

But that’s not all.

As if one hot war wasn’t enough, Abiy is reportedly toying with the idea of opening another, this time against Eritrea, over the strategic port city of Assab.

Former high-ranking military officials like General Samora Yunis and Lt. General Yohannes Gebremeskel (aka Mengag) are said to be back in uniform from retirement, according to ZeHabesha news report, and are stationed in Afar as part of the "ambitious operation" of reclaiming "Sea access" by use of force.

It doesn’t take a strategist to see where all this is going.

Unless the people of Afar stand up and say no, no to war, no to being used as a battleground for Abiy Ahmed’s disastrous ambitions and hunger for domination, then war is not just coming. It’s already on their doorstep.

And once it begins, whether the target is the TPLF or Eritrea, it’s the Afar people that will bear the cost. Nothing in the region will be the same after that.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Eritreans in the US raised $4 million dollars in less than 2 weeks.

Abiy Ahmed's cadres in Washington DC, not to be outdone, they made efforts to raise money by hosting a Live concert attended by over 10,000 people. But at the end of the night, they were only able to raise $9,000 from a handful of generous souls. The rest of the people came to P-A-R-T-Y!
