🚨 An @AbiyAhmedAli regime drone strike has killed at least 29 Amhara IDPs, including children, mothers and elderly people, in Kiremu Woreda, East Wollega Zone, Oromia Region
On November 6th, 2026, at approximately 4:30 PM, successive drone strikes by the Abiy regime targeted internally displaced Amhara civilians in Wedesadma, near Kiremu Woreda, East Wollega Zone, Oromia Region, killing at least 29 civilians and leaving numerous others critically injured.
The victims included children, mothers and elderly people who had fled attacks in Ali, Andode, Fedeqa and Meleketa Semi. Already suffering from severe hunger, illness and displacement, the civilians were struck at the location where they had sought refuge.
🚨 Over 60 Amhara civilians killed daily in Wollega by Oromia Region Gadaa Commando as ENDF colonel demands 600,000 birr ransom to protect churches from attacks
On November 7th, 2026, local sources described escalating mass killings, displacement and destruction targeting Amhara civilians across Tulgana, Waja, Agamsa, Kiremu, Gida and Gutin in the Wollega areas of Oromia Region.
Oromia Region Gadaa Commando and allied armed groups have been conducting house-to-house attacks and pursuing civilians fleeing into forests and remote areas, with more than 60 civilians reportedly killed daily. Thousands of residents, including children and elderly people, have gone missing or become separated from their families.
In Tulgana, Gutin and Waja, bodies of slain civilians have remained unburied along roads, in villages and surrounding forests, with some exposed for more than three days and consumed by vultures and wild animals. Continuing attacks have prevented surviving residents from recovering and burying the dead.
Meanwhile, an ENDF colonel identified by the nickname Colonel Qore is accused of demanding 300,000 birr each from Tulgana Kidist Kidane Mihret Church and Tulgana Kidus Gabriel Church, totaling 600,000 birr, in exchange for protecting the churches from attacks and destruction. ENDF Command post forces have also been accused of using tanks and heavy weapons against religious institutions and civilian homes.
Thousands of displaced civilians remain trapped in forests and isolated communities without food, shelter or humanitarian assistance. Deaths from starvation and exposure to cold weather have also been reported, while road closures and continuing insecurity have made it difficult to establish the full casualty toll.

The Amhara exodus in Ethiopia 2026 bears a haunting resemblance to the images of Tutsis fleeing the 1994 Rwandan genocide. Different time, different place, but the same scenes of innocent civilians fleeing for their lives.

ETHIOPIA ― This video circulating on social media evokes disturbing memories of the early days of the Rwandan genocide.
Thousands of ethnic Amhara were seen displaced from #Welega in search of safety, having lost faith in the government’s ability to protect them.
Tragically, hundreds have reportedly been killed in Arsi Zone because of their ethnic identity and, in particular, their Orthodox Christian faith.

Starting from 5:00 AM yesterday morning, following an attack carried out by armed militants in Robe Woreda of the East Arsi Zone, the bodies of 34 Christians have been found so far.
This is happening just 11 days after a horrific massacre was committed against more than 45 Orthodox Christians in Shirka Woreda of that same Arsi Zone.
How must you journalists working in state media feel: you who do not say a word while all this atrocity is being committed? What about you officials sitting in government seats representing the public? Above all, what about the Prime Minister leading the country?
Some who used to cry out asking "Why?" may have grown tired and given up as these acts are repeatedly committed; but what must the surviving citizens, upon whom all this horror is inflicted, be feeling? Are they awaiting their death while still alive?
What, indeed, is the primary job of a government?

When Democrats take power again, we need to take a two-pronged approach to cleaning up our institutions and communicating about it. This will rely on investigations, single-issue bills, and an aggressive social media presence from our strongest Democratic communicators.
First, Democrats need to launch investigations into the insider trading, pay-for-play, and pardon economy that Donald Trump has created. We need answers to some very serious questions. Did Trump ACTUALLY remove tariffs on Vietnam and then get a golf course announcement just weeks later?
But these investigations can't happen in isolation. They need to be paired with single-issue bill after single-issue bill that directly addresses whatever corruption is being uncovered.
For example, if Democrats uncover 28,000 insider trades coming from the oval office, we introduce a bill banning executive branch officials from trading individual stocks. Force Republicans to vote on it. If they vote against it, make them explain why.
Then, it's necessary to have our strongest communicators flooding the zone about the corruption, and what we're doing. Flipping Steve Bannon's strategy back on him.
Imagine if we had Jon Ossoff, AOC, James Talarico, Abdul El-Sayed, and our strongest Democratic communicators making face-to-camera videos every single day explaining exactly what's happening. "Here's the corruption we're investigating. Here's the evidence. Here's how we're going to stop it."
I think this is how you connect the dots in voters' minds between the way they vote and having a responsive government that's actually trying to address corruption and rewire the system.
Then we move to gerrymandering, affordability, paid family leave, and other reforms. Single-issue bill after single-issue bill, forcing Republicans to take public positions on these issues while Democrats communicate directly with the American people.
I know this might sound idealistic, but we already have the tools at our disposal. I see people like Talarico, AOC, and Ossoff pulling insane numbers on social media. There's no reason that same infrastructure can't be used to explain congressional investigations, proposed legislation, and exactly what Democrats are doing with the power voters gave them.

🚨 An Amhara mother can be seen trembling with grief after losing her entire family in an @AbiyAhmedAli regime drone strike targeting an IDP camp in South Wollo Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia.
🚨 An @AbiyAhmedAli regime triple-tap drone strike on an IDP camp has killed at least 23 Amhara civilians and injured many others in Tehuledere Woreda, South Wollo Zone
An Abiy regime triple-tap drone strike killed at least 23 displaced Amhara civilians and injured numerous others on October 29th, 2026, at Turk Camp, an internally displaced persons (IDP) shelter near Hayq Town in Tehuledere Woreda, South Wollo Zone. The first strike occurred at approximately 1:10 PM, targeting civilians who had previously survived massacres in East Wollega, West Wollega and Kellem Wollega Zones before fleeing to Amhara Region. According to sources on the ground, the drone remained overhead following the initial attack, preventing the safe evacuation of wounded civilians.
As survivors attempted to rescue the injured, a second drone missile struck the camp, followed by a third strike, causing additional casualties and severely disrupting rescue efforts. At least 23 civilian bodies had been recovered, while additional remains were reportedly still burning at the scene. Numerous wounded civilians were transported to Hayq by Red Cross ambulances for emergency treatment. The final death toll remains unknown.

🚨 Over 200 Amhara civilians killed by Oromia Region Gada Commando and ENDF attacks across Wollega, with 13 villages destroyed, three churches burned and thousands displaced
New details have emerged following the reported massacre of approximately 80 Amhara civilians, predominantly women, infants, children and elderly residents, in Sibu Sire Woreda, East Wollega Zone, on October 28th, 2026. The victims were fleeing ongoing attacks in Gida Ayana Woreda and traveling toward Addis Ababa when Oromia Region Gada Commando forces intercepted their crowded public bus at a checkpoint near Sire Town, approximately 55 kilometers from Nekemte. The passengers, along with the driver and his assistant, were allegedly forced into a nearby forest and killed with machetes and knives. The displaced civilians had previously paid 3,000 birr per person to cross the Anger River in an attempt to escape the violence.
Additional reports indicate that more than 60 displaced civilians were killed within 24 hours during a separate attack on an internally displaced persons (IDP) shelter camp near the Anger River. The death toll may be higher, with recovery efforts and efforts to establish the full number of victims remaining incomplete.
▪️Guto Gida Woreda – Over 4,500 displaced civilians trapped in Uke
More than 4,500 displaced Amhara civilians attempting to reach Addis Ababa were intercepted and forcibly redirected by local administration officials into a single displacement camp in Uke, Guto Gida Woreda. Over the preceding two weeks, the camp was surrounded by Oromia Region Gada Commando, Gachana Sirna and Oromia Special Forces. Facing severe food shortages and fearing another massacre, displaced families issued urgent appeals for protection.
▪️Anger Gutin – Three buses carrying displaced women and children intercepted
On the morning of October 28th, Oromia regional security personnel intercepted three public buses carrying displaced civilians, predominantly women and children, fleeing Anger Gutin near Nekemte. The buses were forced to turn back and redirected to Mender 14 (Village 14). Sources stated that regional authorities were restricting the departure of women and children in an attempt to prevent a complete civilian exodus from the area.
▪️Horo Guduru Wollega Zone – 75 civilian bodies recovered in Abi Dengoro Woreda
Between October 25th and 27th, attacks by Oromia Region Gada Commando and other regional security forces targeted civilian communities in Tulu Gana, Chancho and Bejet, Abi Dengoro Woreda. Search and burial operations recovered 75 civilian bodies, including 65 buried on October 27th. Among those killed were Sheikh Mohamed Arab, the chief imam of the local mosque, and Ato Ademale along with nine members of his family. Additional residents remain missing.
The violence has left more than 13 villages destroyed and three churches burned, while over 160,000 civilians have been displaced from the Gida Ayana area amid continuing attacks since August. The destruction of homes, religious institutions and agricultural livelihoods has further intensified the humanitarian emergency across East Wollega and Horo Guduru Wollega Zones.
The latest developments point to an expanding humanitarian crisis, with displaced civilians facing attacks along evacuation routes, restrictions on movement, food shortages and limited access to protection.
🚨 At least 80 Amhara civilians, mostly women and children, massacred by Oromia Region Gada Commando forces this morning after being forced off a bus in Sibu Sire Woreda, East Wollega Zone
At least 80 Amhara civilians fleeing ongoing massacres in Gida Ayana Woreda, East Wollega Zone, were killed by Oromia Region Gada Commando forces in Sibu Sire Woreda on October 28th, 2026. The victims, who had been displaced from their homes, were traveling toward Addis Ababa in an attempt to escape the violence. According to sources on the ground, the displaced civilians had crossed the Anger River after paying 3,000 birr per person before boarding a bus bound for Addis Ababa. While traveling through Sibu Sire Woreda, the bus was intercepted by Oromia Region Gada Commando forces, who allegedly forced all passengers to disembark and took them into a nearby forest, where they were brutally killed with machetes and large knives. Approximately 80% of the victims were women and children, while the remaining 20% were elderly civilians.
In a separate attack, more than 60 displaced civilians were killed within the past 24 hours after armed forces attacked another camp sheltering people who had crossed the Anger River while fleeing the violence. Sources stated that the bodies of victims remain unrecovered, with particularly disturbing accounts indicating that the remains of six children were consumed by hyenas.
Meanwhile, displaced Amhara civilians attempting to escape the ongoing violence in Wollega face increasingly desperate conditions as major land transportation routes toward Addis Ababa and Gojjam remain closed, while airfares have risen sharply. These restrictions have left thousands of displaced civilians and travelers with limited means of evacuation, exposing them to further attacks.

🚨 Over 30 Amhara civilians, including women and children, massacred by Oromia Region Gada Commando forces in two separate attacks on civilians fleeing violence in Wollega
More than 30 Amhara civilians, including women, children and individuals seeking medical treatment, were killed in two separate attacks by Oromia Region Gada Commando and Special Forces between October 23rd and 26th, 2026, in Oromia Region. On October 26th, more than 15 civilians fleeing massacres in Tulu Gana and Menders 15, 17 and 18 were intercepted near the Anger area while attempting to reach Gutin and Uke towns.

According to survivors, the attackers told the women and children, “We will not waste bullets on you,” before striking them with machetes and cutting their throats. Additional civilians reportedly drowned in a nearby river while attempting to escape the violence.
In a separate incident on October 23rd, more than 15 Amhara passengers traveling from Anger Gutin to Addis Ababa aboard a Tata bus bearing fleet number 80155 were reportedly intercepted by Oromia Special Forces and Gada Commando personnel near Bako, along the Nekemte–Ambo highway.

Women and children reportedly accounted for a significant proportion of the victims, alongside civilians traveling to Addis Ababa for specialized medical treatment. Both attacks occurred amid continuing violence and mass displacement across East Wollega and Horo Guduru Wollega Zones.
🚨 Over 160,000 Amhara civilians displaced as ENDF and Oromia Region Gada Commando forces launch attacks across Wollega, with five drone strikes reportedly targeting a school, church and residential areas

East Wollega Zone – Gida Ayana–Kamashi border corridor
On October 27th, additional fighting occurred along the border between Gida Ayana Woreda, East Wollega Zone, and Kamashi Zone, Benishangul-Gumuz Region. Clashes were reported in Arqom 01, Arqom 02 and the Abrahamu area, approximately 15 kilometers from the Gutin exit toward Sudan, as Oromia Region Gada Commando forces, Jaal Mossissa’s units and regional security personnel confronted local Amhara and Gumuz self-defense groups. The fighting reportedly began as regional forces attempted to secure strategic transit routes toward the Sudanese border. Casualties and equipment losses from these engagements remain undetermined.

Ethiopia: At least 47 Ethiopian Christians were killed, and another 18 hospitalized, in coordinated attacks targeting them in the Oromia region.
Surviving witnesses claimed regional authorities collaborated with Islamist militias to carry out the massacre.
Church leaders have repeatedly warned local authorities about armed groups entering the area, but received no serious response.
This is not an isolated incident, but rather part of a pattern of targeted attacks against Ethiopian Christians, who militants conflate with Amhara ethnicity.
This fusion of religious and ethnic violence against innocent Christians and their churches must not be tolerated.
We condemn these evil acts and call for the protection of Ethiopia’s Christians.

According to local sources Ethio Focus News spoke to, more than 300 civilians have been killed and thousands displaced in operations involving the Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF), Oromia Region Gada Commando, Gachana Sirna and Repelola security units, the Abiy regime-backed Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) faction led by Jaal Mose, and armed Qeerroo (Oromo youth) militias.
The attacks extended across eight woredas, including Gida Ayana, Anger Gutin, Abidengoro, Charda, Jarti and Kiremu. In Abidengoro Woreda, violence was reported in Tulu Gana Kebele, Chancho Town, Wollo Sefer and the Bejet area, where civilian settlements and religious institutions were targeted.

Chancho Town was also set ablaze, while three churches in the Bejet area were burned down. Thousands of displaced civilians have fled into surrounding communities, facing severe humanitarian conditions. Federal forces also conducted four drone strikes targeting civilian settlements.
Beginning at approximately 11:00 AM on October 25th, phone and internet data services were shut down across eight affected woredas, including Gida Ayana, Anger Gutin, Abidengoro, Charda, Jarti and Kiremu, severely restricting communication and the flow of information from areas experiencing ongoing attacks.

🚨 Oromia Region security forces massacre Orthodox Christians sheltering inside St. Raphael Church in Shirka Woreda, Arsi Zone
Witness testimonies emerging from Shirka Woreda, Arsi Zone, Oromia Region, accuse Oromia Regional Security Forces known as Repelola of participating in the massacre of Ethiopian Orthodox Christians alongside armed extremists. According to accounts from the area, Repelola units allegedly opened fire from behind on local farmers attempting to defend their communities against the attacks.
Witnesses further accused Repelola forces, operating under the Oromia Region security structure, of carrying out mass executions of Orthodox Christians who had sought refuge inside St. Raphael Church. The testimonies described the attacks as coordinated operations involving both Repelola units and armed extremist groups.
“Many Orthodox Christians were killed after the force known as Repelola entered the area. We expected them to protect us, but instead they massacred us,” one witness stated. The witness also expressed fears of further attacks, warning, “We are extremely afraid that these forces will massacre us during the night. If we are attacked again, we want everyone to know that Repelola is responsible.”
The latest testimonies follow reports that at least 47 Orthodox Christians were killed in attacks across Birbo, Chole and Sole Guna kebeles of Shirka Woreda, where residential homes were also burned and property looted. The Arsi Diocese has called for urgent intervention to protect civilians and end the continuing violence.
🚨 At least 47 Orthodox Christians have been massacred by Oromo militants in Shirka Woreda, Arsi Zone, Oromia Region, as homes are burned and security forces fail to intervene
At least 47 Ethiopian Orthodox Christians were killed in coordinated attacks by Oromo militants on October 24, targeting Birbo, Chole and Sole Guna kebeles in Shirka Woreda, Arsi Zone, Oromia Region. According to information from the area, attackers surrounded communities, preventing residents from escaping, before killing civilians, burning numerous residential homes and looting property.
The attacks involved armed groups operating in Shirka Woreda alongside additional fighters mobilized from the Wabe River, Honqolo Wabe and Robe Didea areas of Bale Zone. Families of victims accused the local Prosperity Party administration of supporting the perpetrators. Residents in Gobessa Town, the woreda’s administrative center, reportedly appealed to local police and security forces for immediate intervention but were told, “We have not received orders.” Security forces subsequently failed to intervene.
The Arsi Diocese of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church confirmed that Christians were being killed and displaced from their homes and warned that similar attacks were occurring in other woredas. The diocese stated that His Grace Abune Elsa, Archbishop of Arsi and Jigjiga, had repeatedly raised the deteriorating security situation with authorities, including the Ministry of Peace, but no effective solution had been implemented.
The Arsi Diocese called upon the Holy Synod and the Abiy regime to take immediate action to stop the killings, protect Orthodox Christian communities and address the worsening security crisis.
