Thank you..
Wasn’t Ethiopia more peaceful when the had the Emperor?
Thank you sharing to world
This man doesn’t know what he’s talking about. No region in Ethiopia has a constitutional right to have its own forces except for the once by the federal government. He really needs to educate himself on the Ethiopian constitutions and laws, and Al Jazeera needs to do better when it comes to picking their guests
Thanks very much Al Jazeera for your coverage Amhara protest 👍
thank you ,AL Jazeera for you helping amhara people, abiy ahmedgeberment is dictater specilaly amhara

Thank you Al Jazeera for being a voice for the voiceless .
Thank you for your coverage. Al Jazeera become voices for the voiceless. The people are against the tribal and autocratic rules of the government. Million Amhara ethnic have displaced and thousands killed in dark and the so-called government did nothing to stop such expulsion. Doubled to such doings, now Abiy Ahmed is trying to impose personal decisions without public consultations that ends up making the people defenseless.
I actually agree with abiye Ahmed,
The Horn of Africa is the most armed place in the whole Africa
Everybody and their mother got Ak47😂
Aljazeera – voice of the voiceless
👇👇👇
This is exactly the reason why the founding fathers of America gave the Bill of Right , the 2nd amendment. Government bought and paid by
foreign powers could do such slaughter against its people
Now AJ is reporting Amhara news😳 where were you for the last 5 years? The current evil, disguised as an Oromo regime of abiy have been committing genocides on millions of innocent Amhara people.They were forcwd to put to unforgivable genocide , displacement ,dispossession of their property and so many untold brutality
Amhara this is the time to get rid of the bastards and take back Ethiopia and what is your Unfortunately ,freedom & the right to live won’t be obtained free of charges. To avoid the existential threat posed to our motherland, Amhara yet again need to be bleed fighting for it
AJ should have reported this more often but i am not holding my breathe for it
God help us 😥😥😥😭😭😤💔💔💔
ethiopian govt genocide Amhara known ! Pls unknown international community ?
Abiy went about this in the wrong way. I understand his goal, but now is not the time. He needs to protect the Amhara people first and earn their trust. Then negotiate a slow and steady plan to have these special forces join his army. TPLF invaded huge areas in Amhara, raping and killing innocent people. Abiy’s army could not defend Amhara or Afar regions. Without the help of Amhara special forces and Afar special forces, TPLF would of took Addis Ababa. This just happened months ago. Amhara people are being attacked and killed in mass on a regular basis. I hope Abiy reconsiders his plan and implements the plan differently. I’m not Ethiopian. I just really love the country, people, and culture.
All special forces in Ethiopia will disarm, that is a government decision. Those who lives in America and called themselves Amhara associations are traitors. Aljazeera as usual reporting one side story. Why you didn’t interview government representatives for clear explanations?
😎😎😎😎
Thanks
Thank you AL Jazeera for voicing us. Amhara people are under attack by the Abiy regime.
Abiy Ahmed is Genocider We need justice‼️ We need the United Nations to ask Abiy Ahmed for the crime of genocide‼️ We non Amhara support Amhara‼️

I am correcting this for all who will continue to cover this story.
Amharas, are not protesting the overall concept of regional forces being centralized. That will be a massive misrepresentation of facts! Amharas were against this genocidal system for over 30 years, including the various acts that took the country on the path to Balkanization. Regional forces were just one of those acts.
📍 The truth is Amharas were being killed day in and day out just for their identity, to make it worse the government in the end, made it look like as if it is illegal to be Amhara in and around the capital city Addis Ababa.
📍 Almost half a million Oromo Regional forces exist. And this force didn’t just exist, it allied itself with a non state actor OLF and literally gunned down Amhara IDPs in Kiremu, Wollega (and all over Shoa). The regime however chose to start with the region that is under the threat of TPLF and OLF attack.
📍 The Abiy regime just want to give the optics of ‘slowly dismantling the system’, they once succeeded by preaching unity they didn’t intend to build. Now, they want to play the international community again with a double edged sword of this dismantling forces agenda. On one side it weakens Amharas so they can galvanize their attack. On the other, they want to project the optics of wanting to dismantle the system, but in reality, what he will do is make his clique permanently dominant, and continue to systematically eradicate the diffrent targeted groups starting from Amharas.
📍 So tl;dr, Amharas are protesting the genocidal system for all the atrocities it committed against them, for all the injustice, and for total lack of safety and security in their own country. They ads tired of waiting, they want to fix this so the suffering stops one and for all!

Amhara is abiys target. He’s disarming all regional police forces except for the oromo which keep getting stronger and modern weapons from korea and russia. He cant change the constitution or every region will become its own country.

Victory to amharan people
Be unite and defend your region against evils oromuma prosperity
Oromuma prosperity commited genocide against civilians in oromia and other regions. They are responsible and must face justice
Amhara people trying to portray themselves as a victim but Oromo people are the ones being exploited and oppressed for more than a century.. Here is some history to shed some light to Amhara – Oromo conflict..
====
The Oromo people are an ethnic group who predominantly inhabit Oromia in Ethiopia, along with communities in neighboring Kenya and Somalia.[22][23] They are the largest ethnic group in Ethiopia and the wider Horn of Africa; according to a 2007 census,[24] they make up about 34.5% of Ethiopia’s population, and others estimate that they make up about 40% of the population.[23][25]
The Oromo remained independent until the last decade of the 19th century, when they were colonised by Abyssinia. Under the rule of Haile Selassie, the Oromo language was banned and speakers were privately and publicly mocked to help the Amhara culture and language dominate the Oromo people.[26][27][28]
In 1967, the imperial regime of Haile Selassie outlawed the Mecha and Tulama Self-Help Association (MTSHA), an Oromo social movement, and conducted mass arrests and executions of its members. The group’s leader, Colonel General Tadesse Birru, a prominent military officer, was among those arrested.[29] These actions by the regime sparked outrage among the Oromo community, ultimately leading to the formation of the OLF in 1973.
The Oromo Liberation Front formed to fight the Ethiopian Empire to liberate the Oromo people and establish an independent state of Oromia. The conflict began in 1973, when Oromo nationalists established the OLF and its armed wing, the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA).[14] These groups formed in response to prejudice against the Oromo people during the Haile Selassie and Derg era, when their language banned from public administration, courts, church and schools, and the stereotype of Oromo people as a hindrance to expanding Ethiopian national identity.
The Oromo consider themselves a nation. They are estimated to make up between 35% and 50% of Ethiopia’s 115 million people. An exact figure is difficult to come by as the government doesn’t provide this data.
Ethiopia has about 80 ethno-national groups. The Amhara make up about 27% of the population. Their language, culture, history and religion have dominated other ethno-national groups. Their warlords and leaders have dominated Ethiopia’s political economy for almost 150 years.
Despite their numbers, the Oromo consider themselves colonial subjects. This is because, like other subjugated ethno-national groups, they have been denied access to their country’s political, economic and cultural resources.
Habasha (Amhara-Tigray) warlords colonised Oromia. The region was then incorporated into Abyssinia (the Ethiopian Empire) in the late 19th century.
Menelik II, the Ethiopian emperor, established a form of colonialism that settled Amhara, Tigrayan and other ethnic soldiers in Oromia. Most Oromos were reduced to serfs, providing free labour and tax revenue.
The colonial government claimed about three-quarters of Oromo lands for its officials and soldiers. It granted the remaining quarter to Oromo collaborators.
In the 1970s, to oppose political, economic and cultural marginalisation, Oromo nationalists created the Oromo Liberation Front. Its military wing is the Oromo Liberation Army. They wanted national self-determination and democracy, and participated in the failed revolutions of 1974, 1991 and 2018.
The Ethiopian state has continued to subject the Oromo people to violence and human rights violations. Successive Ethiopian governments have caused deep social, political, cultural and economic crises in Oromo society.
The major reason for this protests are The National army and Ethiopian Goverments doesn’t want to protect those people from Genocide and the other cause is the peoples doesn’t believe the government and PM Abiy Ahmes because of their plans to destroy ethiopia
They have already surrendered,Diaspora just shouts to n empty grounds😆
amhara can’t defeat the Ethiopian federal army or tigray army that has a long time of war experience and well armed. so it will only harm Ethiopian unity if they dare want to fight neighbors from north and adiss abeba.

its not a “paramilitary” they’re the official security force of Amhara state… another showing of Al Jazeera’s bias.
Killing Amharas because they are born Ethnic Amhara is not Ok. It must be stopped immediately! Amharas have the right to defend themselves! I stand with Amhara!!
Where is the world now, where are you there now Europa league with your human rights precious Thema? Where are you CNN BBC broadcast? Where are you the international humanrights Organisation and amnesty international?
Genocide and ethnic cleaning of amharas began 35 years ago when Tigre liberation front and oromo liberation front ousted the military regime snd controlled state power. These two ethno fascist groups have used fabricated stories and lies to justify their crimes against amharas. The mass killings and evictions of amharas reached new heights in the last 5 years since Abiy Ahmad, came to power. He came to power disguising himself as a peace lover and one who would bring an end to the ethnic devide and conflict in the country. On the contrary Abiy Ahmad has been promoting ethnic cleansing , mass killings and detention of non oromos especially amharas from oromo region. Millions of people have been made homeless and forced into refugee camps. Over a million peole have died in The power struggle war between the federal government and Tigre liberation front in the last two years . The Amhara region has been used as the battleground and the region was completely destroyed by this war. Years of oppression have led to frustration among the Amhara .
As an Amhara I against this terrorist group so called liyu hail(special force) they are terrorizing Ethiopian people including Amhara. The government should disarm them sooner than later because things can escalate.
😢😢😢😢 እፍፍፍፍፍ ሀገሬ
First Tigray now Amhara 😄 Which region Is next?😳
These facsist, genocidal Amhara Militia commited a heneous crime in Tigray. They displaced and killed more than a million people in Tigray andoromia. when the Ethipian federal army and Eritrian facist army invaded Tigray, the Amhara used that oppurtunity to invade and control some of Tigrian land. These criminals must pay for their crimes.

Fake news
I support Abiy Ahemd he is doing a lot of great things to his country and this group of special force are war mongers and they hate peace.
😂😂😂😂😂
They trying ro have my people murdered for thier natural resources..
How can a country have ethnic armies, thats a recipe for disaster, a country needs a single national army for peace to prevail
Ohh aljezera you Mayme 😂
Where has been Amahara Regional Forces when TPLF came to Amahara region, occupied and distroyed their region and sexsually abused their sisters and mothers including 85 old lady? Now that TPLF is distroyed by ENDF and amahara & afar regions freed from TPLF and peace restabilished in the country then Amahara Regional Forces showed up like they are the braves making shows. Amahara Regional Forces were in the back line attacking ENDF when ENDF was fighting TPLF in the front line to librate Amahara region from TPLF. Those amahra extremists talking bulkshit on this video about Abiy Ahmed are those trying to go to power by force but they will NEVER EVE😅R SUCCEED. They are loosers.
We support Amhara people,
Oh my lovely amhara people, my innocent people who were slaughter by the olf shene terrorist are now struggling again and again
Amhara people are struggling because they are the most patriot Ethiopian people, pride of Ethiopia 🇪🇹
In Ethiopia, Amhara is being exterminated by the Ethiopian government
Keep being divided Ethiopia. Its good for Somalia, we don’t want a united and powerful Ethiopia
After the recent ambush and slaughter of unarmed Amhara Special Forces by (presumably Oromo army cadres, because local Oromo authorities did nothing to intercede) all Ethiopians see that words from this NWO viper cannot ever be trusted. No one is safe. All Ethiopians must unite in solidarity to remove the snake once and for all.. Their future depends upon it.
Thanks aljazera
