The Amhara Saga and the Prospect of an All-out Civil War in Ethiopia 😀
I find it galling that Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has never ever acknowledged that there is a new civil war going on under his watch. Amharas of all ages, professions, and backgrounds are languishing in these concentration camps located in Afar, Oromia, and Addis Ababa areas. Ethiopia’s rulers try to mask the truth by arresting thousands of dissidents and sending them to Auschwitz-like concentration camps. I urge you to listen to my take of the current unfolding tragedy in Ethiopia on Anchor Media with Journalist Messay Meknnnen. Watch “Anchor Media ከዶ/ር አክሎግ ቢራራ ጋር የተደረገ ቆይታ”Dr/ Aklog Birara
