Concern over rising violence and arrests in Amhara

Growing concern over upsurge in violence and arrests in Amhara

The Amhara region, located in the northwest of Ethiopia, is currently the scene of an escalation of violence and arrests, which is causing serious concern among local populations and the international community.

In recent years, the Amhara region has been the scene of growing political tensions and ethnic conflicts, jeopardizing the stability and security of the region. Since the beginning of the year, the number of violence and arrests has increased significantly, fueling fears that the situation will worsen further.

Violence in Amhara takes many forms, ranging from deadly attacks on civilians to clashes between rival ethnic groups. These conflicts, often motivated by political tensions or territorial disputes, accentuate divisions and threaten peaceful coexistence between the different communities of the region.

Along with this spiral of violence, arbitrary arrests have become commonplace in Amhara. Dozens of people have been arrested in recent months, often without a clear reason and without following legal procedures. These detentions raise fears of violations of human rights and the rule of law, thus undermining citizens’ confidence in the judicial system.

Faced with this worrying situation, the international community calls on the Ethiopian authorities to act quickly to put an end to the violence and arbitrary arrests in Amhara. It is essential that the rights of all citizens are respected and that concrete measures are taken to restore security and stability in the region.

Furthermore, it is essential to promote dialogue and reconciliation between the different ethnic communities of the Amhara region. Mediation and trust-building processes are needed to prevent further escalations of violence and foster peaceful and harmonious coexistence.

In conclusion, the upsurge in violence and arrests in Amhara is causing deep concern both locally and internationally. It is urgent that adequate measures be taken to put an end to this violence, protect the rights of citizens and promote reconciliation within the region.
