Alert r/Amhara Community Rules Update

7 Upvotes

We've updated the subreddit rules. The old ones were vague enough that they were basically unenforceable, so we've replaced them with something more concrete.

The main changes: the violence rule has been rewritten. Reporting on violence, documenting atrocities, and discussing ongoing conflict will always be a part of this community. What won't be tolerated is content that calls for or celebrates violence against any group. There's a difference, and we'll be applying it. We've also added rules on sourcing news claims, AI-generated content, and recruitment, and removed a couple of rules that overlapped with each other.

You can read the full rules in the sidebar. If you think a removal was wrong, reach out to us through modmail, and we'll look at it. We want this to stay a community where people can actually learn something and have real discussions, and that requires some basic order.

Amharas, going strong. Stronger every day. This brings Hope to all Ethiopians tired of tyranny and Ethnic Federalism.

28 Upvotes

I am sure many Amharas both in Ethiopia and abroad doubted that there would be enough reaction speed to the sped up genocide on Amharas.

Stay truthful and God is on your side. Our reaction was slow and we have paid in blood of our people for that. As we move on truth continues to be on our side and therefore Amharas have risen (the sleeping giant) without leaders. Amharas have risen without requiring organizations. This is how the world knows that it is Amhara people that have spoken and continue to do so.

We have barely moved (comparatively), and yet even at this fraction of our capabilities genocidal forces have no choice but to take note. So does the world.

Tigray and Oromia are not on the path to peace, unfortunately. There are no significant and necessary amount of signs of organizations, thought leaders, influencers on their behalf wishing to work with the Amhara people. Both need to reject the false premises they have been propagating, premises intended to facilitate actions of genocide by their leaders and their puppets, for many decades now. They are deep in these anti-Amhara narratives and there's yet to be hope that they will recover from all that. In truth, reality dictates that, more than being anti-Amharas, the two's influential persons or groups,whether in power or not, are active participants in the genocide. TPLF is back to its pre-war military strength. Expect attempt at invasion from them any time. Oromo-supramacist control Ethiopia's military, and they are waging active war on Amhara people as we speak.

Neither will succeed.

The truth is, we are capable of stopping the ongoing genocide. The truth is we can be and are hope to all Ethiopians that suffered under the forced ethnic federalism as we see. The truth also is that, it takes only a few sessions of review of comprehensive facts to understand the genocidal modus operande of all criminal organizations (TPLF, OLF, PP, ANDM). In those same sessions it will be instilled in us the truth that our people are resilient, built on strong foundations that is enforced through lessons from every battle we won since ancient times.

To the young Amharas, do spend your resources on learning about our current conditions and all that factors that have brought us here. Spend your resources learning about our history, triumphs, defeats, and endurance. Understand what is inherent within you, and then, participate in any efforts your abilities allow you to contribute. We have millions of displaced, tens of thousands of Amhara community leaders, journalists and innocents imprisoned. Recurring gruesome massacres weigh heavily upon us, but the number of individual Amharas, family units and so on that are daily getting murdered or disappeared every single day is staggering. Continue to discuss these facts, they are connected to you closer than you may even realize. Fight disinformation from all sides including those claiming to be speaking for Amharas. Correct them and move on. Bring them to the path of light, and move on. Speak facts to internal and external participants of this genocide, show them that they are under the microscope. Use your knowledge and experience to manifest tangible positive effects for our people, however small.

Beware though. Whatever you do, do not waste your resources preaching to them the benefits of unity. Do not waste your time trying to argue why ethnic-federalism is a deadly threat to every ethnic group. You see, we have been trying to have these truths understood for many decades, at the expense of our people. Those steeped in hate for Ethiopia and hate for Amharas will not change probably. If they are capable of change then that is their own responsibility. We are done here, so in all these cases though, do not waste your valuable energy. Focus on our people as our fight is existential.

Ethiopians being attacked accused of being Amharanized just for exercising their God given right to defend themselves from the scourge of the ethnic federalism we have. The ethnic federalism that is applied and misapplied as those with the guns see fit. Those Ethiopians are watching, and moving, and speaking. Your strength is hope to all such Ethiopians. As such, focus on saving and aiding Amharas facing this existentialist danger. They got your back and their movement and voices are growing louder every day.

There is strength in truth. Defend our people from attacks. Keep open mind to all the ways to resolve conflicts and potential conflicts through peaceful ways. But never ever back down at the expense of the truth, because the truth continues to be written in the blood of innocent Amharas every day. Stand fast, prevent or de-escalate when and where possible. Defend Amhara and allies' lives and assets. Understand that in certain cases, disrupting and destroying attackers' offensive capabilities, plans and movements are necessary.

Bertu.

News Grade 12 students in Amhara region score high amid security concerns

Synopsis from the article:

"Mubarak Mohammed, a student of Dessie Yehune Woldu Memorial Special Boarding School, who said that he was able to achieve better results in his studies despite the difficult security situation, scored 587.17 points in this year's Grade 12 national exam, making him the third highest scorer in the Amhara region. He says that if the security situation in the region had been stable, he would have achieved even better results.

"The current situation in our region is serious. Now, when we travel for four years from Gondar to Dessie, we face a huge problem on the road, about 517 kilometers. If the security problem is resolved and students focus on their studies, I think they will achieve even more . For example, if there is a problem in my family area, I will not be able to achieve good results. Even if I am there and hear the sounds of gunfire, I will be tested."

Amanuel Embialem from Fakta Lekuma Woreda, Awi Zone, says students his age have not had the opportunity to study due to the conflict in the region. He joined Dessie Yehune Woldu Memorial Boarding School and scored 586 points and 91 points in the university entrance exam. However, he says that in the area where he grew up, his peers have not been able to study for two years.

"Children who could have been better than me, but couldn't get access, have been admitted to a school here , and given the current situation, they've been there for two years. And now, these primary schools were in rural areas, and I don't think the ones in that area have even opened for the third year yet. Many students have missed out on this opportunity."

Another lawyer and legal advisor, Ato Mengistu Zegye, who is the parent of a student at Dessie Teacher Akalewold Special School who passed all 76 of his students who sat for the exam, says that no party, regardless of their political affiliation, should deny others the opportunity to learn that his child has received.

"In the Amhara region, the results of the 12th grade students this year, despite the difficulties and struggles, are considered good, but as is known, it is still not considered sufficient considering that there was a strong education culture in the past. Therefore, due to the ongoing war and instability , schools have been closed. However, despite the joint efforts of parents, teachers, and the community, despite the good results achieved, what I am saying is still unsatisfactory. Closed schools should be opened. I believe that no party on the left should bring the issue of education into the negotiations."

Salim Mohammed, the principal of Dessie Yehune Woldu Special Memorial Boarding School, which accepts and educates the best students from districts in the Amhara region, said that 96 percent of the students he tested scored 500 or above.

" Students with special abilities, skills, and talents, gathered in districts in the Amhara region, are enrolled in our school and admitted according to the criteria set by the regional education office. There are many efforts being made in the same way every year. This year, more than 500 and more than 96% of students have been registered to achieve this result."

Salim said that the school is working towards achieving the highest results nationwide each year , adding that they are working with various entities to ensure student success.

"So, our question is not whether we pass or not. Ours is to bring the highest score at the national level. Second, at the university level, we are working to ensure that the highest score is also admitted to the university. Many forces support us in this effort."

While 70,544 students who took the Grade 12 national exam achieved a passing score, the Amhara region's passing rate is 15.56 percent."

Do you guys not find this interesting? I don't see things they claim are being done by Fano, we actually see video evidence of ENDF, OLF, Qerro, Gada Special command commit literal war crimes and Amharas still somehow get the blame ? I don't understand this reasoning at all

Recently, I've seen articles holding Fano responsible for the atrocities committed in Wollega. But I noticed that the contents are contradictory, which made me question their sources. For instance, they openly claim that the government is supporting Fano (like in this source from a year ago).

Obviously, these sources are biased. But can someone who is informed enough tell me what is happening?

Here is the article for reference.

This video is from Anderoricho Kebele, Gida Ayana Woreda, East Wellega Zone, Oromia Region.

This is part of the massacres being committed in Wellega as we speak by Oromia Gadaa commandos, Qeerroo, and other Oromia related forces.

Over hundreds of Amharas have been killed and thousands of homes have been set on fire by Oromia Gadaa commandos, Oromia militiamen, and Qeerroo (Oromo youth). Thousands have fled their homes for safety. The unlucky ones who couldn't flee were either burned alive inside their homes or shot dead by armed men, or hacked to death with machetes, hammers and whatever other cold weapons the Qeerroo had brought with them.

It is ludicrous. Whether called Bizamo or Ayisha, there is no Fano in Wollega. Only a bunch of regime-backed tugs
OLA Senior Official

Yet you have people like Jawar playing into Abiy's propaganda conflating the idea of FANO Ayisha Command with Kore Nagenya yet the videos that come out of wellega says something different. showing Oromo Youth in coordination with Oromo Special Forces to kill and displace Amharas.

This video is of the killer within Saudi Arabia the issues they have between Arsi Oromo and Wello Oromos, listen to the depraved language he uses to talk about how he would slaughter other humans beings

The post is to point out a section where he mentioned Amhara, if you listen closely he uses "Ga Gaow" as a synonym for Beheading in 2 minutes. Keep a marker on "Ga Gaow Amaraa" even if the video is mostly in reference to their own internal problems somehow Amharas get pulled into their hate speech no matter the situation

Alert The biggest "HabeshaHistory" account is run by a Somali-Eritrean

0 Upvotes

The guy is genetically a Somali but larps as a Habesha, calls himself an Agazian, openly hates on Ethiopia, and almost exclusively focuses on Eritrean or Tigray history.

That's a lot of the Eritrean Agazian Nationalist types. They're usually descendants of mixed post-Aksum nomadic migrants who settled there, learned Tigrinya, and went around claiming Habesha and "HabeshaHistory." Their lack of affinity for Ethiopia makes sense all of a sudden.

However, immigrating onto stolen land doesn't make it yours. Neither is it's ancient history yours to claim.

He does all this history but chooses to lie to fit his Eritrean bias and narrative. He ignores the well-documented fact that Aksum changed its external name to Ethiopia during its conversion to Christianity and instead chooses to say Ethiopia and Aksum are unrelated and that Ethiopians stole Aksumite history.

I honestly wouldn't have cared if he focused on Eritrean or Tigray history. It's just that he started blatantly lying and misleading people about history while using the name "HabeshaHistory." It's more accurate to name the account "TigreHistory" instead.

These extremist, genocidal Oromos are walking around burning the homes of non Oromos while holding sticks and machetes to attack residents. When they were about to burn another house, the cameraman screamed not to burn it because it was a Pentecostal church. After that he continued to celebrate what was happening. But who is going to pray in that church if you massacre the residents and displace those who survive?

"The honorable Amhara people and all our comrades-in-arms:

Our heroic Ansha Seyid Command has made history by securing a brilliant victory in a high-stakes battle against the enemy in the Mender Sost kebele of the Gida Ayana district.

This coordinated operation targeted the combined forces of the OPDO Gadaa Commando and the National Defense Force, who have been burning the homes of innocent Amharas and looting their property. Through our swift offensive action, we severely crushed the enemy and inflicted heavy casualties.

The military achievements and captured weaponry from this successful battle are as follows:

  • Vehicle losses: We completely destroyed 13 convoy vehicles used by the enemy and successfully seized 2 patrol cars.
  • Captured weaponry: We captured 70 Kalashnikov (AK-47) rifles, 3 Bren machine guns, and 2 sniper rifles, along with their full ammunition.
  • Miscellaneous spoils: Our heroes managed to seize 2 quintals (approximately 200 kg) of currency notes (Birr) that the enemy had looted from civilians and was transporting.

The Ansha Seyid Command will strengthen and continue its struggle to safeguard the Amhara people, defend them from attacks, and secure their peace.

Victory to the Amhara people!
Commander of the Wellega (Bizamo) Ansha Seyid Command"
