We are presenting this petition in order to express our deep concern with the misguiding statement of the European parliament report on the people of Amhara in its recent resolution—European Parliament resolution on the situation in Ethiopia (2016/2520(RSP). Although we wholeheartedly appreciate most of the statements the EU has made, we are disappointed with the following section, which we felt is negatively impacting the image of the Amhara people, the second largest ethnic group in Ethiopia: “E. whereas Ethiopia is a highly diverse country in terms of religious beliefs and cultures; whereas some of the largest ethnic communities, particularly the Oromo and the Somali (Ogaden), have been marginalized in favor of the Amhara and the Tigray, with little participation in political representation.” The Amhara are victims of an all-embracing discriminatory policies of the ruling Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF) government. While the Amhara are one of the most disadvantaged groups in the country, it is very disappointing to see the EU mentioning them as part of the exploiters of the Oromo as indicated in this statement: “particularly the Oromo and the Somali (Ogaden), have been marginalized in favor of the Amhara.” This statement is totally false as it is well known that the Amhara have been targets of genocidal acts across different parts of the country at different times. The TPLF, from its onset to struggle in the forests of Tigray, documented that the Amhara are entities to be eliminated from the face of the earth as they are “historic enemy of Tigray.” That manifesto has been in full practice ever since, and it is very active as we write this complaint. The fact on the ground shows that TPLF has been very busy organizing all ethnic groups in Ethiopia against the people of Amhara for the past 40 years. Such campaign has now come to fruition and the Amhara people are at risk of being eliminated from their own country. It is unacceptable to label the Amhara peopl

I am not totally against EU resolution on the exiting govt of Ethiopia, but this resolution is not balanced and is one sided in regard to amhara, so there must be a mistake and must be correct!

It saddening and embarrasing to hear that the international body who always says stand for foundamental human right issues releases statements contrary to the facts. It is shocking when The European Union denies the truth that the Amhara people are marginalised and genocide committed on them in various parts of the country; Harar , Arusi, Jimma, welega, Arbaminch Gambella, Benishangul Sidamo , Afar and even inthere home area Gonder and evicted from their area of living and massacred in open day light. As a human right bodies European did not say any word rather they helped the tyranny dictatorship leader or TPLE for the eviction of innocent people. Ethnic cleanse on Amhara by the Ethiopian ruling part has no been mentioned even in on place by European Human Right. The systematic wipe out the Amhara once for all from the surface of the earth did not give sense to previous. COLONIAL POWER EUROPE, the now day whatch dogs for so called thier human right. When any leader dictatorship they support kills, massacres, burn alive they say nothing as far as their interest is not touched. We know that in 1935 when Italian opend war on our country Ethiopia the so called League of Nation supported Italian to colony us . European leader from the start they washed their hands with innocent Africans blood from colony time to neo-colony or posts colonial powe even up to today. We shall request them to stop to releases biased to words TPLE Rather condemn the evil act of ethics cleansing Ethiopian Amhara
