Complaints on European Parliament resolution on the situation in Ethiopia (2016/2520(RSP)) due to Its Misguiding Statement about Amhara

To: European Parliament resolution on the situation in Ethiopia (2016/2520(RSP)) European Parliament Subject: Complaints about a Misguiding Statement on Amhara 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

Amaras are the primary prey of the barbaric, beast regime of Ethiopia and they have been marginalized and left destitute for the last 24 years. Labeling them as favored by the very system that is prosecuting them is so disappointing to say the least.

We Amharans are Victims Of TPLF We have been executed for Being loyal to our identity We have been sterilized and Ethnically cleansed and deliberately and systematically depopulized

I strongly agree with most of the points raised and the decision of the European Parliament except the statement made against the Amhara people (ethnic group). It is very sad to hear/read the decision from European Union, who knows very well the atrocities carried on Amhara people during the last 25 years by TPLF government and even during the former military junta. According to the recent census, the TPLF government has already acknowledged that 2.5 million Amharas are perished during the last 10 years of its rule. How on earth then the EU comes to say Amharas are beneficiary from this tyranic rule. Please recall your decision and re-amend it by the proposed correction.
