The TPLF forces from Tigray, in Northern Ethiopia, have now advanced deep into southern Welllo, Amhara region and are waging a hand-to-hand battle in Desie and Kombelcha to take over the cities. It is to be remembered that the TPLF has time and again threatened the Amhara population stating that it has “issues to settle “with the Amhara people. Clearly, the massacre in MAYKADRA, CHIFRA, KOBO as well as a number of massacres and targeted displacement of the Amhara and Afra people while TPLF was in full control of Ethiopia from 1991- 2018 heightens the concern about the now advancing TPLF forces and what they may do to the Amhar and Afar people in Ethiopia. SOCEPP Canada is deeply concerned about a possible forced displacement and Genocide by the TPLF forces. . We urge the international community to be fully aware of this serious concern and put TPLF and its leadership on notice against any such inhuman and degrading treatment of the Amhara and Afar people including any crime against humanity and Genocide activity. We ask the international community and all genocide watch groups to pay attention to this alert.
