Ngomhla ziyi-11 kuNcwaba, umfelandawonye oholwa yi-United States ushicilele lesi sitatimende kusizindalwazi sehhovisi lenxusa laseMelika e-Ethiopia:
“Ohulumeni base-Australia, eJapane, eNew Zealand, e-United Kingdom, nase-United States of America bakhathazekile ngodlame lwakamuva oluqhubekayo esifundeni sase-Amhara nase-Oromia, olubangele ukufa kwabantu abavamile nokungazinzi.
Sikhuthaza zonke izinhlangothi ukuthi zivikele izakhamuzi, zihloniphe amalungelo abantu, futhi zisebenzisane ekuxazululeni izinkinga eziyinkimbinkimbi ngendlela enokuthula. Umphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe uyaqhubeka nokusekela umgomo wokuzinza kwesikhathi eside kubo bonke abantu base-Ethiopia.”[Ii]
Ekugcineni, nge-X (eyayiyi-Twitter), i-European Union yakhipha umbiko wabezindaba mayelana nesimo sase-Amhara ngosuku olufanayo.
“Amanxusa e-European Union kanye namaNxusa ase-Austria, Belgium, The Czeck Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherland, Romania, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain kanye ISweden ikhathazekile ngokuqubuka kwakamuva kodlame esifundeni sase-Amhara, okuholele ekufeni kwabantu nokungazinzi.

Umphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe uyaqhubeka nokusekela umgomo wokuzinza kwesikhathi eside kubo bonke abantu base-Ethiopia.”[Iii]
Emzamweni wokuchaza isimo esimangalisayo e-Ethiopia kanye ne-Amhara, inhlangano ethi Stop Amhara Génocide (SAG) ishicilele ukuhlaziywa kuka-M. Elias Demissie(umhlaziyi wezepolitiki nommeli wase-Amhara).
Ukuhlaziya kwakhe kugxile ekutheni ubuzwe be-Tigrayan ne-Oromo bubhebhezela kanjani udlame nokuqothulwa kohlanga kubantu base-Amhara e-Ethiopia kanye nomlando wabo.
Isihloko sakhe sichaza ukuthi i-Ethiopia ibhekene nenkinga ekhulayo yodlame nokuqothulwa kohlanga kubantu base-Amhara. Lolu dlame lubhebhezelwa ubuzwe be-Tigrayan ne-Oromo, onomlando omude wokungqubuzana nabantu base-Amhara.
Ngokusho kombhali, ubuzwe baseTigrayan bavela ngasekupheleni kwekhulu le-19 njengendlela yokubhekana nezinkinga zezomnotho zesifunda kanye nokudala ubunikazi obuhlangene be-Tigrayan. Kodwa-ke, ibuye isetshenziselwe ukuthethelela udlame olubhekiswe kubantu base-Amhara. Isibonelo, i-Tigrayan People's Liberation Front (TPLF) yathatha u-Wolkait no-Raya basesifundeni sase-Amhara ngeminyaka yawo-1990, okwaholela ekuthuthweni nasekubulaweni kwezinkulungwane zabantu base-Amhara.
Ubuzwe be-Oromo baqala ngekhulu le-16 njengendlela yokumelana nokwanda kombuso wama-Amhara. Kodwa ibuye isetshenziselwe ukuthethelela udlame olubhekiswe kubantu base-Amhara. Isibonelo, isimemezelo esithi “indawo epulazini” esakhishwa umbuso wakwaDerg ngo-1975 saphumela ekuxoshweni nasekubulaweni kwezinkulungwane zezakhamuzi zase-Amhara.
Udlame lwakamuva e-Wollega, eBeninshangul, eDera nase-Ataye luwukuqhubeka kwalo mlando wodlame olubhekiswe kubantu base-Amhara. Lolu dlame lwenziwa yiwo womabili amaqembu obuzwe be-Tigrayan kanye ne-Oromo ngokwesekwa uhulumeni wase-Ethiopia.
Ekupheleni kwesihloko sakhe, umbhali uM. Elias Demissie ucela umphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe ukuthi uthathe isinyathelo sokumisa udlame nokuqothulwa kohlanga kubantu base-Amhara. Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukugxeka udlame, ukujezisa abenzi bobubi kanye nokuhlinzeka ngosizo lobuntu kwabahlukunyezwayo.
Uyaphetha: “Ubudlova obenziwa kubantu base-Amhara buyisikhumbuzo sezingozi zobuzwe. Ubuzwe bungaba ithonya elinamandla lokuhle, kodwa futhi bungase busetshenziswe ekuthetheleleni ubudlova nokuqothulwa kohlanga. Kubalulekile ukuqonda umlando wobuzwe e-Ethiopia ukuze uqonde inkinga ekhona. [Iv]
Siphinde sabuza nomengameli weStop Amhara Genocide (SAG) uNkz Yodith Gideon mayelana nesihluku esikhona kulesi sifunda nokuthi ucabangani ngempendulo yomphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe kuleli sonto.
“Eminyakeni emihlanu edlule, abantu base-Amhara baye bakhuthazelela igagasi lonya elingapheli elishiye imiphakathi yabo iphazamisekile futhi ukuphila kwabo kunesiyaluyalu. Thina, i-Stop Amhara Genocide Association, singofakazi bezinto ezinyantisayo ezehlele abantu bakithi - isigameko sokuqothulwa kohlanga, ukucwaswa, ukuhlanzwa kohlanga kanye nodlame olungachazeki.
Ukuhlukunyezwa nokuboshwa sekuphenduke amathuluzi ashaqisayo asetshenziswa ngokumelene nezintatheli zase-Amhara, izishoshovu kanye nezihlakaniphi ezaba nesibindi sokukhuluma ngokumelene nombuso wengcindezelo. Labo ababefuna iqiniso, ubulungisa kanye nokulingana bahlangatshezwa nengcindezelo enonya, amazwi abo ethuliswa ngendlela embi kakhulu ongayicabanga.
Izicelo zethu zokungenelela, eziphuma kuhulumeni wethu kanye nasemphakathini wamazwe ngamazwe, ziye zathola impendulo encane, futhi lapho izwi seliphakanyiswe ukugxeka izenzo zonya ezenzekayo, azizwakalanga.
Lokhu kuntuleka kokuphendula kwenqwaba yezincwadi, imibiko kanye nobufakazi bezenzo zonya esizithumele kuye kwanikeza umbono wokungajeziswa kwabahlukumezi, kodwa impendulo ibe ukuthula - ukuthula okuye kwakhuthaza kuphela ukungajeziswa kwabahlukumezi.
Ngokuthula komphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe, ama-Amhara azifaka engozini yokuqothulwa. Namuhla, ama-Amhara alwela ukusinda kwawo - ukusinda kwabantu, isiko kanye nefa elichuma iminyaka engaphezu kwezinkulungwane ezintathu.
Sicela amazwe omhlaba ukuthi ahambisane nathi, akhulise amazwi ethu futhi aqinisekise ukuthi umhlaba uyalizwa ikhwelo labantu abaqinile abangafuni ukuthuliswa.”
Unksz Gideon ukhwele wadilika ngokungaphenduli izingcingo zezinhlangano zomphakathi zokunqanda isimo esidabukisayo sabantu base-Amhara. Kodwa-ke, uhloniphe izinhlangano ezizimele zamazwe ngamazwe, kanye nenhlangano yakhe, zazama ukuxwayisa umphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe.
Ikakhulukazi, ubalule ama-NGO amabili asebenze nawo neNhlangano Yezizwe.
Ngosizo lwe-CAP Liberté de Conscience, egunyazwe yi-United Nations, kanye ne-Human Rights Without Borders, inhlangano ezinze enhloko-dolobha yaseYurophu iminyaka engu-30, kuye kwenziwa izitatimende eziningana ngomlomo nezilotshiwe emikhandlwini Yamalungelo Abantu yakamuva futhi bangenelela IKomidi lokugcina Lamalungelo Abantu e-Ethiopia.
Omele uCAP Liberté de Conscience kuNhlangano Yezizwe, uChristine Mirre, usexwayise kaningi iKhomishini Yamazwe Ngamazwe Yochwepheshe Bamalungelo Abantu e-Ethiopia ngesimo sezokuphepha enyakatho-ntshonalanga.
"Kuseshini evamile yama-52 yoMkhandlu Wamalungelo Abantu Into 4: Ingxoxo Esebenzisanayo neKhomishini Yamazwe Ngamazwe Yochwepheshe Bamalungelo Abantu mayelana nesimo samalungelo abantu e-Ethiopia".
Ummeleli weZizwe Ezihlangene weCAP Liberté de Conscience uthe:
"Sisakhathazeke kakhulu ngokubulawa kwabantu abaningi kanye nokuhlaselwa kwezakhamuzi zase-Amhara esifundeni sase-East Wellega.
Ngokusho kozibonele, lezi zigameko zenziwa kakhulu ngamasosha kahulumeni kanti izisulu ngabesifazane, izingane kanye nezaguga. Lokhu kuhlasela kwenzeke inyanga yonke, kusukela ngoNovemba 13, 22 kuze kube nguDisemba 3, 22.
Sebebonke, izakhamuzi zase-Amhara ezingamakhulu amabili namashumi ayisishiyagalombili kwaqinisekiswa ukuthi zishonile ngoDisemba 3, 22. Cishe abantu abayizinkulungwane ezingamashumi amabili bakwazile ukubaleka.
Okwamanje kukhona abacishe babe yisigidi sama-Amhara asuswe ezindaweni zabo ukuze abaleke ukubulawa kwabantu okususelwa ezinhlangeni eBenishangul-Gumuz, Wellega naseNyakatho Shewa.
Uhulumeni uyaqhubeka nokuboshwa kwabantu abaningi base-Amhara. Njengamanje sekusondele izinkulungwane eziyishumi nambili zentsha yama-Amhara ejele okuhlanganisa noZemene Kassie. USintayehu Chekol uphinde waboshwa okungenani izikhathi ezi-4 kusukela ngomhlaka-22 Julayi, kanti uTadios Tantu usegqigqe ejele isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka.
Iziboshwa zigcinwe ngaphansi kwezimo ezinonya, futhi zibhekana nokuhlukunyezwa, ukushaywa nokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi.
E-Addis Abeba njengamanje izindlu ezibalelwa ku-9 zama-Ahmaras zabhidlizwa kwashiya imindeni iswele futhi isengcupheni. Ngenxa yalokhu, izingane ezingu-XNUMX zashona ngenxa yokuhlaselwa yizimpisi.
Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi isimo ama-Amhara abhekane naso sicutshungulwe yiKhomishini kanye noMkhandlu ukuze lezi zindleko ziphenywe ngokusemthethweni.”[V]
Ekugcineni, sabuza uMongameli we-CAP Liberté de Conscience mayelana nalokhu kuqwashisa okusha kwesimo esikhathazayo sase-Ethiopia, futhi ikakhulukazi kubantu base-Amhara.
Umongameli weCAP Liberté de Conscience ngiyaxolisa ukuthi kuthathe lokhu kubhebhetheka kodlame ukubona ukusabela komphakathi wamazwe omhlaba ngodaba lwe-Amhara kanye nempi yase-Ethiopia.
Uphinde abhekisele emsebenzini owenziwe ne-HRWF kanye ne-SAG eMkhandlwini Wamalungelo Abantu kanye neKomidi Lamalungelo Abantu.
"Nakuba umbiko ngemva kombiko usuqalile ukuvusa izinhlaka ze-UN mayelana nenhlekelele yase-Amhara, izwi lethu alizange libe namandla ngokwanele ukumisa ukubulawa kwabantu, kodwa siyaqhubeka nokusebenzisana ne-UN ukuze kuzwakale izwi le-Amhara.
Uphethe ngokuthi iCAP Liberté de Conscience izoba khona emhlanganweni olandelayo woMkhandlu Wamalungelo Abantu.
