It’s laughable that some go to such lengths to fabricate stories about an “Amhara crackdown” in Addis Ababa. The claims of widespread army mobilization and ethnic targeting are nothing more than baseless rumors meant to undermine the progress this government is making. The truth is, there is no such crackdown, and business continues as usual in the capital.
It’s both misleading and irresponsible to spread falsehoods about a supposed crackdown on the Amhara people in Addis Ababa. The claims of “army mobilization” and “crackdown” are baseless fabrications aimed at discrediting the successes of the current government. The reality on the ground is far different from the narrative being pushed by those who have a vested interest in destabilizing Ethiopia.
The recent devaluation of the birr was a necessary measure to control the black market, which had gotten out of hand, and to stabilize the economy. In fact, businesses are now able to obtain dollars directly from banks, which is a positive development for the economy.
It’s worth noting that much of the anti-Ethiopian rhetoric, including the false claims of an Amhara crackdown, is being funded by external actors, particularly from Eritrea, who do not want to see a peaceful Ethiopia. These groups are trying to disrupt the progress that the government is making.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is a gift to Ethiopia, and under his administration, the lives of the poor and destitute have seen significant improvement. For instance, there has been a 300% salary increase for low-income civic workers, which is helping them cope with the increased cost of living resulting from the devaluation. This government is committed to improving the lives of all Ethiopians, despite the baseless accusations being spread by those who wish to see Ethiopia fail.
In conclusion, while the detractors may continue to bark, the caravan of progress in Ethiopia will keep moving forward under the leadership of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. The focus remains on building a peaceful and prosperous Ethiopia, and no amount of misinformation will derail that mission.
To prove or disprove claims like these, the best approach is to rely on credible and verified sources of information. Here’s how you can verify the situation:
1. Official Statements – Look for statements from the Ethiopian government, including press releases from the Prime Minister’s office, the Ministry of Defense, or the Addis Ababa City Administration. These sources can confirm or deny claims about military mobilization or crackdowns.
2. Reputable News Outlets -Check reports from established and respected news organizations, both within Ethiopia and internationally. These outlets often verify information with multiple sources before publishing.
3. ndependent Observers -Reports from international organizations, such as the United Nations or human rights groups, often provide impartial assessments of events on the ground. Their reports can offer insights into whether such a crackdown is taking place.
4. Eyewitness Accounts -Verified eyewitness accounts or video evidence can provide on-the-ground perspectives. However, these should be corroborated by multiple reliable witnesses or sources to avoid the spread of misinformation.
5. Social Media- While social media can offer real-time information, it is also a hotbed for misinformation. Verify social media reports by checking the credibility of the sources and whether multiple reliable outlets report the same information.
Using these methods, you can form a more accurate picture of the situation, rather than relying on Eritrians funded claims
I thought Eritrean president and the so called Ethiopian PM are working together to destabilize the region. You may not get the memo but that seems the case. Don’t be a cadre for a doomed government which is being led by mentally challenged infantile.

Sujaja. Spare us, please. You could have used the time to write your comment on rather productive than lecturing us about the state of Ethiopia under the brutal and backstabber prime minister. Today Ethiopia is on a cliff, the economy in free fall, and war and destruction everywhere, and you are here to tell us how rosy it is, and if there is any problem, it is Eritrea; Eritrea and Fano saved your backstabber prime minister from destruction and gratitude should go to them.
Daniel ,Let’s address the facts: Ethiopia is undergoing a critical economic restructuring, and part of that involves tackling the black market, much of which has been driven by external actors, including some from Eritrea. The reality is that Fano, despite its claims, cannot even manage its own internal divisions, let alone “save” Ethiopia. If it weren’t for the bravery and determination of the Afar people, Fano would have been captive of the TPLF, which is the hard truth. Instead of dismissing the efforts being made to stabilize Ethiopia, it’s more productive to confront the bitter truths of our current situation. The challenges we face are significant, but the actions being taken now are crucial for the long-term stability and prosperity of the country. Let’s focus on what truly matters: building a stronger Ethiopia that can stand on its own, rather than being caught in a cycle of blame and resentment.
