Amhara Digital Diplomacy
Dear Esteemed Diplomatic Member, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
I hope this letter finds you well. We are writing to share an urgent initiative undertaken by Amhara Digital Diplomacy, aimed at addressing the ongoing genocide and human rights abuses against the Amhara people in Ethiopia.
Our mission is to collect, verify, and disseminate evidence of these atrocities while ensuring complete anonymity for all contributors. We believe that exposing the truth is critical in rallying international support and action against the injustices faced by the Amhara community.
Attached to this letter, you will find our comprehensive plan detailing how we aim to achieve our goals through the following key strategies:
1. Anonymous Data Collection: Utilizing secure platforms such as Session, Tox, and Signal, we encourage individuals to submit videos, images, and testimonies without revealing their identities. This protects contributors from potential retribution and fosters a safe environment for sharing critical information.
2. Verification Process: All submitted content will undergo rigorous verification to ensure its authenticity. Our commitment is to uphold the integrity of the evidence we collect and share.
3. Global Distribution: Verified evidence will be strategically disseminated to human rights organizations, media outlets, and governments, amplifying the voice of the Amhara people on an international stage.
4. Voluntary Contributions: We do not seek public donations. Our funding is derived solely from voluntary contributions made by individuals who wish to support our mission anonymously, as well as in-kind contributions from technology providers.
5. Outreach and Engagement: We aim to engage with global audiences and stakeholders who can help bring attention to the Amhara genocide, fostering partnerships and collaborations to maximize our impact.
We believe that collective action is essential to combat the systemic violence and discrimination faced by the Amhara ethnic group. Your support and collaboration can make a significant difference in our mission to save lives and restore dignity to the Amhara people.
We would greatly appreciate your attention to our initiative and look forward to any opportunities for collaboration. Together, we can work towards halting the ongoing genocide and promoting justice for the Amhara community.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,

Amhara Digital Diplomacy Plan – An Anonymous Initiative for Justice
1. Define
Amhara Digital Diplomacy is a digital platform dedicated to advocating for the survival, rights, and protection of the Amhara people in Ethiopia. Our mission is to anonymously collect and disseminate verified evidence of human rights violations, including genocide, against the Amhara people. All materials, such as videos, images, and testimonials, are submitted anonymously to ensure the safety and security of those contributing. We are not interested in anyone’s personal identity; our only goal is exposing the truth to end the genocide and human rights abuses targeting the Amhara ethnic group. Our platform serves as a secure digital space for exposing these crimes to the global community, encouraging action from human rights organizations, and the international diplomatic community.
2. Initial Baseline Research
To ensure that the need for confidentiality is addressed effectively, initial research focused on:
• Interviews: Engaged with human rights advocates, NGOs, and individuals affected by the Amhara conflict to understand the importance of anonymity in gathering evidence.
• Surveys: Distributed to trusted community members to assess their comfort level in sharing sensitive information anonymously.
• Feedback from Diplomats and NGOs: Discussed with international human rights bodies the challenges of verifying evidence while maintaining anonymity.
Key Findings:
• Fear of retaliation is significant for individuals sharing evidence of human rights abuses, making anonymity crucial.
• There is a strong demand for a secure platform that allows for anonymous submissions, guaranteeing the safety of participants.
• International organizations require credible, verified evidence to act but are willing to collaborate anonymously if necessary.
3. Mission and Vision
• Mission Statement: “To expose the truth of the ongoing genocide and human rights abuses against the Amhara people, while ensuring the safety and anonymity of all contributors. We aim to protect lives by securely sharing evidence with the world, advocating for urgent intervention without risking the identities of those who provide it.” • Vision Statement: “A world where atrocities against the Amhara people are recognized globally, human rights are protected, and contributors exposing these abuses are safeguarded through secure, anonymous advocacy.”
4. Goals
We have outlined the following specific goals to guide our mission:
• Goal 1: Collect and verify evidence (videos, images, testimonials) of human rights abuses and genocide from anonymous sources.
• Goal 2: Share verified content with international human rights organizations, media outlets, and governments and international diplomatic missions through secure, encrypted communications and formal email includes.
• Goal 3: Create a global digital resource that securely and also publicly houses evidence of Amhara Ethnic human right abuse & genocide, accessible to advocacy groups, journalists, and relevant institutions.
• Goal 4: Maintain the highest level of anonymity and protection for all contributors and affiliates, allowing them to work with us without revealing personal identities.
5. Key Elements

6. Tools for Submission and Communication
We use the following platforms to ensure fully anonymous and encrypted submissions:
• Session:
Features: Fully anonymous, decentralized, no registration needed, end-to-end encryption. Session allows contributors to submit evidence such as videos, images, or text messages completely anonymously. This platform does not require phone numbers or personal information, ensuring full protection.
• Tox:
Features: Decentralized, anonymous, no registration, open-source, end-to-end encryption. Tox provides a completely decentralized communication method, where contributors can submit materials anonymously. It offers secure messaging, voice, and video capabilities without needing any registration or identifying information.
• Signal:
Features: End-to-end encryption, strong privacy, free to use (requires a phone number for registration).
Signal is recommended for encrypted communication, though it does require a phone number to register. For this reason, we suggest contributors use burner or anonymous numbers if they choose this option.
Deletion Protocol:
All submitted content will be reviewed, verified, and promptly deleted after receiving it. This ensures that the anonymity of the submitter is maintained, and no digital traces are left behind.
7. Funding Sources

• Encourage the use of Session, Tox, and Signal as the primary methods of contributing anonymously and securely.

• Create a centralized, encrypted platform where verified videos, images, and testimonials of the Amhara genocide are showcased. Develop an encrypted, secure platform for showcasing verified evidence of the Amhara Ethnic Human right abuse & genocide. This resource will be accessible to the public using the official website to trusted human rights organizations, media, and governments and international diplomatic missions.
