Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you very much. That's a very important question. The Amharas made a lot of effort to be part of the agreement and the discussions, but they were refused. They were systematically excluded from participating in that Pretoria agreement. That's exactly why the Cessation of Hostilities Agreement has failed.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  —stop genocide and war on the Amhara people, and to promote genuine peace, democracy and justice in Ethiopia. Thank you very much.

Subcommittee on International Human Rights committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I would also like to thank the committee members for inviting the Amhara voice to this hearing. Speaking of the current situation in Ethiopia.... There is only one war conducted under the state of emergency, which is the war on the Amhara people that started in April 2023 and was launched in a coordinated manner by the Abiy regime; the Tigray People's Liberation Front, TPLF; and the Oromo Liberation Army, OLA, following the war in north Ethiopia.
