The Ethiopian government, led by Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, is waging war against its own people—specifically, the Amhara. Amhara men, women, and children are being killed and arrested not for their actions, but for who they are. This is targeted ethnic violence. It is, therefore, genocide. The term “genocide” is inflammatory, but in the context of Ethiopia (as in Gaza), it is tragically accurate.

In a display of staggering arrogance, even by its own standards, the U.S. administration recently sent a questionnaire to UN aid agencies, asking staff whether they held “anti-American” beliefs or affiliations—as if America were a religion rather than a nation-state—and whether they had any links to communism. The International Committee of the Red Cross also received the form, which was issued by the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
