The long awaited March human rights violation report is here.The data, which follows a period leading up to the June election, is grim.
In a period of less than one week, 68 civilians were killed and 153 injured in conflicts along the Oromia, North Shawa, and surrounding zones in the Amhara Region. All were farmers. They leave behind large families – wives, elderly parents and children – now left to fend for themselves in a situation that grows more dire by the day.
These ethnically targeted attacks continue to reveal the failure of the Abiy government to address human rights violations. Instead, his administration has been promoting and engaging in deeply divisive and oppressive politics.
The civil war in Tigray has garnered widespread international condemnation, with the ruthless tactics used by Ethiopian and Eritrean forces potentially amounting to crimes against humanity, according to Amnesty International.
On July 7, a damning New York Times report described “the catalog of horrors that has defined the war — massacres, ethnic cleansing and extensive sexual violence”.
In addition to the abhorent and widespread weaponization of sexual violence documented in Tigray, starvation tactics are being utilised by authorities, found a report by Relief Web, threatening a mass famine:
“Our stark conclusion is that the governments of Ethiopia and Eritrea are starving the people of Tigray. Circumstantial evidence suggests that this is intentional, systematic and widespread.”
They go on to write:
“It is not appropriate to praise the Ethiopian government for permitting modest acts of mercy towards the survivors of its policies.”
The targeting of Oromo farmers in the killings and injuries documented in this report indicate that such tactics extend well beyond the Tigray border.
Conflicts, extrajudicial killings, arbitrary arrests and other human rights violations remain widespread across Ethiopia.
In the wake of such atrocities, the landslide victory claimed by the Abiy administration in June has no legitimacy. An election that takes place on the back of such deeply abhorrent crimes committed by authorities cannot be compatible with a truly democratic process.
As Aljazeera wrote on July 14:
“By pushing for an election amid deadly civil war and by crushing opposition parties ahead of the vote, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed further undermined an already broken electoral process.”
The individuals documented in this report range from as young as 17 to as elderly as 100. Young men and women just starting out in life and those whose lifelong contributions and hard work form the backbone of Ethiopian society.
OLLAA will continue to document their names and their lives, and to fight for justice on their behalf.
OLLAA unequivocally condemns the weaponization of sexual violence and starvation tactics by Ethiopian and Eritrean authorities. It calls on the international community to hold these authorities to account for such crimes against humanity.
OLLAA continues to reject the sham Ethiopian elections and call on the international community to invalidate the results.
OLLAA calls upon the government to end all killings of civilians throughout Ethiopia.
