Ethiopian State media on Monday reported that Ethiopian PM Abiy Ahmed had a meeting with “representatives from all zones of the Amhara region.”
It is unclear how they were selected to represent zones in the Amhara region. In the video footage from the state media, Abiy Ahmed is seen receiving a traditional vestment award for “what he has been doing in the Amhara region.”
The tragedy is that it happened weeks after his forces massacred at least 45 civilians – as confirmed by Human Rights Organizations – in Merawi town in extra-judicial killings.
The military operation his government started in the Amhara region in August – which was intended to be completed within two weeks – is still ongoing in the region.
There are reports that Abiy Ahmed’s government is now increasingly using local militia in Amhara region to fight against Fano – a move that appears to be a politically calculated move rather than military considerations.
