#GPE_AtrocityReport
Incident dates: From March 30, 2023 on wards
#AddisAbaba
#Gelan, #TuluDimtu, #Ziway, #Oromo Region #Ethiopia
#Tepi #SouthWest Region
#Yirgalem #SNNP Region
Over 100,000 Amharas have been detained just for their identity since March 30, 2023 (GPE Report June 26, 2023: drive.google.com/file/d/1SV6…). These are in addition to thousands of Amharas that were detained in a mass arrest campaign against Amharas two years earlier in May 2022.
The number of people abducted just for their identity has risen alarmingly over recent weeks. People are abducted with no reason after their IDs are checked randomly. The majority of the abductees from within Addis Ababa city are taken to make shift temporary holdings like high-school grounds and various industrial storage places from where they are moved to undisclosed locations often outside Addis Ababa to locations like Gelan, Tulu Dimtu and as far as Woliso, Arba Minch and Tepi.
Detainees in undisclosed locations are reported to get only one bread a day with some days of the week not getting any food at all. Leaked videos, audios and pictures of these detention centers show a very bleak reality reminiscent of early days of the Auschwitz-Birkenau detention centers where Nazi units held Jews just for their identity. The videos indicate Ambulances on standby to take bodies of Amharas that die out of extreme torture and starvation, the images also expose those who seem to inflict pain on the detainees all war masks and protective medical sanitation gear indicative of possible presence of communicable disease outbreak on the grounds.
Extreme torture, coercion and making Amharas abductees sign documents and testify against other Amharas under duress is continuously reported out of both temporary holding places and other concentration camps. Extra judicial killings have been continuously reported ever since the mass abductions began. The majority of the Amharas held at concentration camps are daily laborers, street vendors and people who were found to be Amhara after a random stop and search campaigns in the capital city Addis Ababa. Abuses reported thus far include, extreme torture, mutilations, mass murder, coercion, rape, humiliation, and starvation.
Majority of the detainees are:
1. Street vendors
2. Lottery vendors
3. Daily laborers
4. Young people from their homes and on the streets
5. Students abducted either from their homes or from the streets
6. Civil servants
7. Political party members (especially those of Balderas party members)
8. Amhara Peoples' representatives from Amhara Region and Addis Ababa
Location:
1. Addis Ababa, in all available police stations, schools (for example there were 100 in Wondiyrad high school, 150 in Belay Zeleke School, and over 150 in Biruh Tesfa School), Youth Centers, Various service centers (for example, at the Addis Ketema Senior Citizens help center found at the back of Abune Aregawi Church)
2. Outside Addis Ababa:
Yirgalem (SNNP Region): On August 10, 2023 over 28 buses full of Amhara detainees were taken to Yirgalem town from various police stations in Addis Ababa; where they are kept in SNNP region police training center.
Ziway and Meki (Oromo Region): Many Amharas taken from Addis Ababa and Nazareth cities are taken to undisclosed locations in Ziway and leaked information indicates that they are subjected to inhuman conditions.
Tepi (South Western Region): Amharas detained before and after the illegal state of emergency declared in Amhara Region are kept in undisclosed locations in Tepi.
Awash Arba (Afar Region): Amharas detained before and after the illegal state of emergency declared in Amhara Region are kept in undisclosed locations in Tepi. Even people's representatives who were supposed to have immunity because of their status are among those who are held and tortured at this infamous location.
It is also feared that there are multiple undisclosed locations where Amhara detainees are being held as reports of them are surfacing but most who know about it fear for their lives to disclose these locations.

Reports and video footage from media outlets, such as Roha TV led by International Women of Courage Awards-winning journalist @MeazaMohammed , have highlighted the plight of victims, including a young girl who tearfully recounts how her family's home was demolished and their belongings destroyed. These homes were not just buildings but represented the livelihood and stability of the Amhara community. The victims, unable to find alternative housing due to a prohibition on renting to them by law , were left with no choice but to flee to other regions, particularly the Amhara region.
Sheger City, located in the Oromiya region of Ethiopia, has become a focal point of controversy due to the demolition of homes belonging to ethnic Amharas and the forced evictions taking place. The Oromiya region claims to be establishing a homogenous territory exclusively for the Oromo ethnic group, considering it their rightful homeland. Thousands of houses have been destroyed, leaving many Amharas displaced and without shelter. The situation has raised concerns about human rights violations and the discriminatory nature of the actions being taken.
The administrator of Sheger City delivered a controversial speech that many have condemned as resembling modern-day fascism. He referred to the victims as "poor and illegal," implying that their suffering was inconsequential. The speech not only displayed a lack of empathy but also perpetuated an environment of discrimination and prejudice. The Oromo Prosperity Party, led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, continued with the forceful demolitions, further reinforcing the notion of creating an ethnically homogenous Oromiya.
These actions, under the guise of ethno-federalism, contribute to the marginalization and disenfranchisement of Amharas born in the Oromiya region, rendering them legally stateless. The Ethiopian federalism model designates regions as ethnic homelands, concentrating power and land ownership solely within the corresponding ethnic group. This system perpetuates an environment where only members of a specific ethnicity have access to resources and opportunities, creating a form of ethnic apartheid.
The demolition of over Ten-thousands ethnic Amhara homes and forced evictions in Sheger City raise serious concerns about human rights abuses and discriminatory policies in Ethiopia. The victims, including children like the young girl featured in the video footage, have lost their homes, belongings, and access to education. The controversial speech by the city's administrator and the ongoing demolitions reflect a disturbing trend towards creating an ethnically homogenous region at the expense of minority communities.
