Amharas were victims of oppression alongside most other groups in Ethiopia for decades under the TPLF-led Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) regime. The TPLF pursued a public policy of blame and shame, portraying Amharas as the oppressive enemy that dominated and colonized the rest of the country.
