    In short , Amhara is saying ‘no more’ for the massive Amhara genocide and millions of crime performed by the Government officials and supported rivals so called ‘ kero’ on Amhara people and other citizens either because they belong to Amhara ethnicity or Orthodox religion since Abiy came to power, and Abiy is refusing to accept that he is defeated and lost his credibility and acceptance so he is performing war crime in Amhara region killing innocent people in Amhara region to keep his power

    The Amhara people are facing multiple existential threats from the federal government and neighboring regions. Particularly, in some parts of the Oromia region, they have been subject to massacres, especially after Abiy came to power. Additionally, there are territorial disputes with the Tigray region. Ethiopian politics is primarily based on ethnic identity, and the Amhara people supported Abiy, who claims Oromo ethnicity, during his rise to power. They also fought alongside the Ethiopian and Eritrean governments against the Tigray region during the two year long conflict. Following the Pretoria deal, the Ethiopian government decided to provide disputed territory to Tigray. And in long run the ethiopia goverment wants to weaken the region to make sure no future challenges for its power after crushing the challenges from tigrai by force. In response, the local militia called Fano is actively fighting to defend the Amhara people and has significant support from the local population. The general sentiment among the Amhara people is that they feel betrayed by Abiy's actions and wish to overthrow the government in collaboration with other Ethiopian regions in the long run.

    The Amhara people have every right to defend themselves from Abiy Ahmed's bloody invasion of the Amhara region and the State sponsored Genocide of innocent Amhara civilians in the Oromia region. Amharas are the largest ethnic group in Ethiopia and the government's systemic massacre of our people has to end now.

    To be factual, the Amhara is not the largest group...just because the language was imposed on all the ethnic groups and is understood by all, it doesn't mean the population of the ethnic Amharas is big. The largest group by ethnic makeup is actually Oromo. Even though Abi Ahmed is half Oromo and half Amhara..as is almost half of Ethiopia, we have seen that Oromos consider their loyalties to their Oromo sides more than the Amhara and even though his wife is also Amhara...his children are considered Oromo. Semitic Habasha (Tigray, Amhara) used to be both maternal and paternal..but is now strictly paternal.

    Let it be clear that the local militia is defending the Amhara people from the genocidal Abiy Ahmed’s army that marched into the Amhara region carrying out mass killings of Amhara four months ago. The army kills Amhara people, commits rapes against Amhara women and loots the people. Let it be known that the Amhara people who live in Oromia region if Ethiopia, especially in Wollega have been massacred by Abiy Ahmed overt forces know as Oneg Shene. Hundreds of thousands have been killed over the past 5 years. In short, Abiy Ahmed’s agenda for Ethiopia is exterminating Amhara people and establishing autonomous Great Oromia county in place of what we know now as Ethiopia.

As TPLF and the government of Ethiopia seek peace they agreed Amahra soldiers should leave the southern part of tigray but the Amharas celebrated the war in Tigray because they wanted to take land or Tigray for them self !!! So they were hyped and mostly against tigrayan people because they thought they won Now after Abiy told them to leave Tigray And he wanted to disarm the Amhara region because they don’t listen to the ethiopian government anymore ! So they start to fight the Ethiopian government because they feel like after all the Ethiopian government betrayed them !

    Background of the conflict 1) There has been an age old foe between Amhara and Oromo people. The grievance among Oromos arose starting from the rule of Menilik II 2) Minority TPLF of Tigray manipulated this grievance to its purpose. That is, TPLF to stay in power for long time, designed a strategy to escalate the foe between Amhara and Oromo peoples on the basis of perceived and real perceptions, false narrations and hypocrisy . 3)To engulf the thug TPLF from power, the Oromo's and Amhara's form an alliance to scramble TPLF once and for all and they did it. 4) After the burial of TPLF, the Oromo based rulers started to grip in power and wealth soon & continue their former grievance and foe on Amhara by excavating from its tomb. Soon, they started killing, displacing, alienating, looting and use hunger as a weapon to weaken the Amhara's. 5) The plenty of atrocities and existential threat on Amhara make the people to hold arms and decided to fight against the Oromo rulers led by Abiy Ahemed (Dr) in order to realize their freedom and equality.

Both nations has built up common anti Amhara front, it's why this deadly fighting led by Abiy. Abiy is completely working for superiority of Oromo nation, by making one to the other anti [the Amhara withthe Tigray]. Though this kind killer politics planned by Tigrian politicians before 40-50 years, the fire is burning including Tigrian themselves. Here, the Amhara people is being victim by Tigrian and Oroo politician poorly and ignorantly designed politics.

    I think judging the actions by the Amhara people as resulting from betrayal of being an Allie in the Tigray war is not correct. The Amhara was hoping a half decade long of wrong narrative created by TPLF that led to genocides against Amhara in different parts of Ethiopia would have changed by the current gov’t. But things went even worst happened and more than a million Amhara were displaced from Oromia, Addis Ababa. Hundreds of thousands were killed. The prime minister when as even for national mourning day, he replied that he would plant seedling of trees for the dead’s.
