The ongoing conflict in Ethiopia’s Amhara region has claimed another innocent life, with the death of a woman named Asbera Mohamednur in a brutal attack by the Ethiopian military. The witnesses described the incident as part of a broader pattern of violence targeting ethnic Amharas, with numerous reports of attacks, massacres, and ethnic cleansing. The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission has reported killings, bodily injury, property loss, and displacement of civilians in the Amhara Region. In response to the escalating violence, human rights advocates have called for accountability. In October, human rights group Amnesty International accused Ethiopia’s army of conducting “mass arbitrary detentions” in the Amhara region.
