🚨 Urgent Appeal to the International Community: Halt the Recruitment and Use of Child Soldiers by Ethiopian Government Forces! The Ethiopian government is facing credible, documented allegations of systematic forced conscription, including the recruitment and use of children as soldiers, in violation of international law. These practices are occurring amid ongoing internal armed conflicts, particularly in the Oromia and Amhara regions, and represent grave breaches of Ethiopia’s obligations under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Optional Protocol on the Involvement of Children in Armed Conflict, and other international humanitarian standards. As illustrated in the accompanying photographs-one showing a young individual in Ethiopian National Defense Force digital camouflage with an “ETHIOPIAN ARMY” insignia, and the other a youth wearing a uniform with the Ethiopian flag patch-these images, alongside widespread social media reports and eyewitness testimonies, raise serious concerns about the apparent involvement of minors in military roles. Verified Evidence from Credible Sources Independent and official bodies have substantiated these allegations: The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC)-Ethiopia’s own national human rights institution-has reported cases of children as young as 11 being arbitrarily detained by regional security forces in Oromia for forced military training. In one documented instance, an 11-year-old boy was held in a Shashemene detention center; investigations in late 2024 revealed dozens of teenagers (many aged 15-16) being pressured into service outside legal recruitment criteria. Families have reportedly been extorted for large sums to secure their children’s release. The U.S. Department of Labor’s 2024 Child Labor Report and related assessments confirm reports of forced recruitment and detention of children by state armed groups and affiliated forces for military training in Oromia, with at least 14 verified cases during the reporting period. Media outlets and human rights monitors, including the East African Review (May 2024), have highlighted how manpower shortages from prolonged conflicts have led to coercive round-ups of youth from streets, schools, and homes, with social media imagery and testimonies indicating underage conscripts. These actions contravene Ethiopia’s commitments and constitute one of the six grave violations against children in armed conflict monitored by the UN Secretary-General. Call to Action We urgently call upon the international community-including the United Nations Security Council, the UN Human Rights Council, the Office of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Children and Armed Conflict, the African Union, the European Union, the United States, and other concerned governments and donors-to take immediate and decisive steps: 1• Launch an independent investigation into these allegations, with full access for UN and AU monitors to detention centers, training facilities, and conflict zones in Oromia, Amhara, and elsewhere. 2• Publicly condemn and demand an immediate end to the recruitment and use of anyone under 18 by Ethiopian government forces and affiliated militias, in line with the UN’s Children and Armed Conflict agenda. 3• Impose targeted measures (such as travel bans, asset freezes, and restrictions on military assistance) against individuals and entities credibly implicated in these violations, while ensuring humanitarian aid reaches affected civilians. 4• Support rehabilitation and reintegration programs for affected children, including those already conscripted, through UNICEF and partner organizations. 5• Pressure the Ethiopian government to enforce its own laws prohibiting child recruitment, release all unlawfully detained minors, and provide transparent accountability for perpetrators. @UNGeneva @StateDept @EU_Commission @EUCouncil @SecRubio

@TiborPNagyJr It’s not a “little country” as Taiwan is not. Both are smaller land masses that have grievances of administrative, political and others with their other larger parts. To recognize Somaliland as independent from the federal republic of Somalia sets a BAD precedent for Africa.

A Very happy 35th Birthday to Somaliland! "The Little Country that Can" has so much to be proud of, and it's been a momentous year with its first formal international recognition (with many more to come)! A model nation with accomplishments others envy. #google_vignette" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">hiiraan.com/news4/2026/May…

For the past eight years, the Amhara have been systematically targeted based on their ethnic identity and subjected to killings, abductions, sexual violence, and arbitrary detention. This pattern of violence has led to an estimated tens of thousands of civilian casualties. The tightly knit genocidal structure that the regime of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has created to "exterminate" Amhara identity all over Ethiopia must be dismantled. The @LemkinInstitute renews our call on the international community to end its complicity with the Abiy regime and exert sustained pressure on the Ethiopian government to ensure the protection of all civilians and dismantle its genocidal apparatus, which it has been using against any population it views as threatening for almost a decade.

@martinplaut 2of2 The irony is that UAE is in bed with authoritarian African despots and brutal warlords that it bribes, buys and finance to do its bidding. This only leads to brutalizing civilians while committing war crimes that the UAE will be held to account on the day of reckoning.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has become one of the most aggressive external actors in African conflicts, from Ethiopia, Libya and Somalia to Sudan. The leadership in Abu Dhabi obstinately denies its support for belligerents, yet it has maintained it. swp-berlin.org/en/publication…

🚨 The @AbiyAhmedAli regime drone strikes targeted multiple locations, including a temporary detention site holding POWs (killing 13 captured soldiers), an EOTC religious school (killing four students), and Mahderemaryam Primary School where children were present.

“The @LemkinInstitute remains greatly concerned about the ongoing widespread genocide against the Amhara people in Ethiopia. For the past eight years, the Amhara have been systematically targeted based on their ethnic identity and subjected to killings, abductions, sexual violence, and arbitrary detention. This pattern of violence has led to an estimated tens of thousands of civilian casualties.”

Schools. Markets. Civilians. Another week of reported drone strikes and mass violence in Ethiopia’s Amhara Region while the regime prepares for “elections” during an active war. Across the world, communities are protesting and demanding accountability. “No ballots while bullets fly.” #Ethiopia #Amhara

⛔️Breaking news ‼️ ⛔️ One of the commanders who defected from the Rapid Support Forces supported by UAE who terrorised Sudan drops a bombshell and confesses: “We receive direct support from the UAE, and I personally trained in camps in the city of Al Ain, and the terrorist drones being used come from Ethiopia under UAE supervision‼️”

ETHIOPIA ― 🔥A small protest took place in Addis Ababa today after a young man was reportedly killed by police in the Shiro Meda area. What began as a reaction to the incident later grew into broader anti-government demonstrations, with protesters voicing frustration over worsening political and economic conditions in the country. With the general election approaching, social media is already filled with Ethiopians venting despair over what many describe as a nation pushed to its breaking point. Today’s unrest may fade quickly, but one thing is increasingly difficult to deny: the patience of the Ethiopian people against the incompetent administration of Abiy Ahmed is wearing dangerously thin. #Ethiopia

Horrific massacre happened in North and South Gondar Zones, Amhara Region. The regime in Ethiopia has continued targeting civilians under the guise of war. Just in the past 4 days, there were massacres and point blank murder, Jawi (Gojam), Simada & Wegeda (Gondar), Addis Ababa (Shoa). Don't see these incidents as a separate event or snap shots. See them as a pattern, they are terrorizing the people by any means necessary. Drone attacks, close range gunning down, abduction, indiscriminate shooting at civilians. Whether in war zone or off war zones, the story is the same, it is always the civilians they target. Also, identity based targeting and profiling has flared up more. Even if ethnic profiling is the status quo in Ethiopia, whenever the regime is threatened, it goes out of the way to corner Amharas so that the long lasting suffering does not end up erupting in the form of civil disobedience. In addition to ethnic Amharas, ethnic Gamos and Guraghes are currently being targeted in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. End #AmharaGenocide Stop #WarOnAmhara Expose #AmharaConcentrationCamps #Abiy2ICC

Weekly update on Ethiopia: civilian casualties, drone strikes, arrests in Addis Ababa, detained journalists, and growing protests worldwide ahead of national elections.

Peace begins in the human heart, passes through relationships, takes root in neighborhoods and peripheries, and expands until it embraces the entire city and the world. Peace is built by promoting a culture that rejects violence, through daily gestures, education, and practical acts of justice. #PastoralVisit #Naples
