Amhara Fano Forces Abiy Ahmed, OLF, and International Community to Swallow the Bitter Pill – Now, Even the Red Cross is Involve
For decades, the hypocritical international community remained silent as the Amhara—the largest segment of Ethiopia's population—faced mass killings, ethnic cleansing, and the loss of generational wealth. Adding insult to injury, despite Amhara forces playing a decisive role in defeating the TPLF, international negotiators (including the U.S., EU, and AU) deliberately excluded Amhara representation from the Pretoria peace talks. This was a calculated move to preserve the interests of the TPLF and OLF, and to uphold the malicious, genocidal Dedebit Constitution. It was a blatant display of moral irresponsibility, and a failure to address the root causes of Ethiopia’s ongoing conflicts.
The refusal to acknowledge Amhara Fano as a legitimate force isn't because Fano is seen as a mere "rebel" or "resistance" group—after all, the international community quickly recognized Woyane, Shabia, and OLF during their own insurgencies. The real reason is simple: recognizing Fano would mean undermining Abiy Ahmed, a leader still propped up by his international backers. And they are not willing to admit their investment in him has failed.
But Fano has proven that it doesn’t need external validation. Its resolve, organization, and firepower have spoken for themselves. In a recent significant victory, dozens of OLF and ENDF troops were captured, and after a long international silence, even the Red Cross stepped in—implicitly recognizing the situation on the ground. This development signals a turning point: the world can no longer deny that Abiy Ahmed has lost control over large parts of the Amhara region. In Ethiopia’s political geography, losing Amhara means losing the country.
The Amhara people are uniquely positioned to reshape Ethiopia’s future. However, Amhara must learn from history and stop being manipulated by those who seek to weaken it—both domestically and internationally.
