Hospitals destroyed.
Health workers targeted. Survivors of sexual violence left without
care. Ethiopia’s escalating human rights crisis demands urgent
attention – and action.
Physicians for Human
Rights (PHR) and the Organization for Justice and Accountability in
the Horn of Africa (OJAH) have documented attacks on health care and
the devastating consequences of sexual and reproductive violence.
Behind every finding are people whose lives, health, and futures have
been and continue to be profoundly impacted by violence. They are
survivors who deserve justice.
The world should not look
away. We call for protection of civilians and health workers, access
to lifesaving care, support for survivors, and independent
investigations that preserve evidence, fight impunity and advance
accountability. Watch to understand what is happening in Ethiopia –
and share to help break the silence. Continued impunity will only
fuel continued violence.
♰ In Tigray,
Ethiopia, The Health System is Again Targeted, Restricted, and
Weaponized as Part of The Broader Warfare
Ethiopia once
had a health system considered a model for Africa. Then, in 2020,
civil war broke out in the northern Tigray Region. Combatants
occupied and looted hospitals. They attacked health workers. They
destroyed medical equipment. A 2022 peace deal ended the major phase
of the war. Now renewed fighting in northern Ethiopia threatens that
agreement and is putting further strains on an already fragile health
system.
Armed groups
were occupying facilities to take resources or to destroy resources,
to destroy machines and equipment, really with the goal of making
healthcare harder to access.
😔 6 Years on, and no Accountability for Perpetrators of
#TigrayGenocide
😢😢😢

Six years after the beginning of the wars in
Tigray in November 2020, there is no comprehensive justice, no legal
processing and no accountability for the crimes committed.
Six years on, there has been no accountability for
perpetrators of the genocide
of Tigrayans during the 2020-2022
genocidal war perpetrated by the terrorist Oromo Islamic Regime
of Ethiopia and its allies. An extensive 2024
New Lines Institute report confirms
this assessment and provides evidence that Oromo and Eritrean forces
together committed genocide in Tigray.
The failure to provide justice and
accountability for genocide, war
crimes and mass atrocities is widely recognized as a direct driver
of future conflict, often fueling cycles of violence.
When perpetrators
are not held accountable, it creates a "culture of impunity"
that encourages further violations and undermines the stability of
international law.
In the absence of any meaningful forms of justice and
accountability, impunity for genocide is fueling another genocidal
language, vicious cycle of lawlessness and recurring massacres in
Ethiopia. When such evil perpetrators face no consequences, hatred
and violence are normalised, survivors are silenced, and peace
remains fragile.
Accountability for Atrocities:
The international community, led by the EU, has moved swiftly to
mobilize mechanisms for accountability regarding war crimes in
Ukraine. In contrast, accountability for violations in Tigray and
Amhara has seen less urgent action, even as the situation has been
described as a "dire human rights situation".
• Mass
Channel Purges and Reporting: Community groups report that more than
400 YouTube channels and creator accounts belonging to non-Oromo
Ethiopian journalists, human rights observers, and independent
outlets have been targeted. Regime-backed digital actors reportedly
exploit YouTube's automated copyright, policy enforcement, and
reporting tools to mass-flag and suppress critical content.
These
non-Oromo YouTube channels are targeted by
coordinated, state-aligned mass-reporting campaigns of the genocidal
Oromo Islamic regime of Ethiopia. These campaigns are intentionally
deployed to silence political dissent, control the narrative
surrounding genocide, internal armed conflicts, and neutralize
opposition voices both domestically and in the diaspora.
♰ More than
50 Orthodox Christians are reportedly dead following a fresh attack
in Endeto, Ethiopia's Oromia region, on November 5
Ethiopian media
initially confirmed 34 deaths. Local sources now say more than 50
bodies have been recovered, and the toll may rise further.
Residents
described an assault carried out with mortars and sniper rifles,
after which homes and shops were looted and set alight and livestock
was driven off. The attackers have not been identified and no group
has claimed responsibility.
The latest
reports raise renewed questions about civilian protection, government
accountability and the recurring violence against Orthodox Christian
communities in the illegitimate and accursed Oromia hellhole.
The raid
extends a run of violence that has alarmed church leaders. On 20
October, 14 people were killed in Merti district. Four days later, 46
more died in Shirka, according to the Holy Synod of the Ethiopian
Orthodox Tewahedo Church, which called the October attacks “brutal
and merciless massacres”. More than 20 people were seriously
injured in the two attacks, the Synod said.
Arsi has become
one of its most dangerous areas for Orthodox Christians. In June, the
state-appointed Ethiopian Human Rights Commission confirmed the
destruction of Saint Gabriel’s Church in Teleta, a century-old
building burned during a wave of attacks that coincided with the
country’s national elections.
Calls for an inquiry
The European Centre for Law and Justice, a Strasbourg-based advocacy group, said on 3 November that the Ethiopian government had “clearly lost control” of the area and called for an independent investigation.
International scrutiny of abuses in Ethiopia has thinned. The UN’s International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia, set up in 2021 during the war in Tigray, was wound up in 2023 when its mandate was not renewed, leaving no dedicated UN mechanism to investigate atrocities in the country.
The violence adds to the security pressures on Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government, which since the end of the Tigray war in 2022 has struggled to contain armed insurgencies in both Oromia and Amhara, the country’s two most populous regions.
For residents of Arsi, the more immediate question is whether anyone will protect them before the next attack.
Millions
of Orthodox Christians are continuously massacred by the
forces of the genocidal Muslim Oromo Prime
Monster in Christian Ethiopia.
* The Deadliest country no one wants to report truthfully about is
Ethiopia.
*
The heathen Gallas/ Oromos have been waging a genocidal Jihad against
Ethiopian Christians since their Ottoman Turkey and Lutheran
Protestant conspired migration into Ethiopia in the 16th
Century.
Since the beginning of the genocidal Jihad in the Northern Ethiopian
regions of Tigray, Amhara and Afar in November 2020 till today:
❖ 2
Million Orthodox Christians were brutally Massacred
❖ 200.000 Orthodox
Christian Women, children and nuns were Raped and abused
❖ Over a Million
Ethiopians were forced to migrate to other countries
❖ 5
million internally displaced people severely impacted by conflict,
hostilities and climate shocks
❖ Over a Million female
Ethiopian slaves sold to Arab countries
❖ 20 million Ethiopian
forced to experience food insecurity
by
the UAE funded and armed terrorist and fascist Oromo Islamic army of
the Nobel Peace Laureate genocidal Prime
Monster, Abiy Ahmed Ali and his UN, Arab,
Israeli, Turkish, Iranian, European, American, Russian, Ukrainian and
African allies.
