2. The committee, headed by Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's former chief of staff, decides who to detain or kill without due process. It has been implicated in the killings of at least 14 shepherds and hundreds of arrests.

Ethiopia's Amhara Region: A Call for Peace Amidst Human Rights Abuses
The situation in Ethiopia, particularly in the Amhara region, is dire and marked by widespread human rights abuses, including mass detentions, extrajudicial killings, and ethnic profiling of ethnic Amhara people. The federal government's actions have led to a cycle of violence and retaliation, with civilians bearing the brunt of the conflict. The international community has expressed concern over the targeting of civilians and called for independent investigations into the atrocities. The escalating violence and loss of innocent lives underscore the urgent need for a peaceful resolution to the crisis in Ethiopia to prevent further bloodshed and suffering.
Mass Killing in the Amhara Region by the National Defense Force Implications ...
The mass killing in the Amhara region by the national defense force has significant implications for peace and stability in Ethiopia. The incident highlights the fragility of peace in the region, as well as the urgent need for accountability, reconciliation, and dialogue among different communities. The government must take decisive action to address the root causes of violence and ensure the protection of all its citizens to prevent further bloodshed and suffering. Failure to do so risks further destabilization and conflict, with devastating consequences for the people of Ethiopia.
Ethiopia's Drones: A Step Towards Progress or an Aggravated Civil War?
Drones, also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), have become an increasingly common sight in conflicts worldwide. In the case of Ethiopia, the deployment and use of drones by both the government and various armed groups have sparked debates regarding their impact on civilians and the country's civil war. While drones can offer promising advancements in technology and surveillance, their usage in Ethiopia has become a controversial topic due to concerns over civilian casualties and the potential escalation of the conflict.
The secret Guard Vol.02.pdf
1. The document discusses the unfair and illegal usage of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones) against civilians in Ethiopia, focusing on the Tigray and Amhara regions conflicts. It argues that UAV strikes intended to cause collateral damage have escalated into deliberate mass killings of civilians, which violate international humanitarian law.
2. It notes several issues with the Ethiopian government's use of UAVs, including a lack of transparency, accountability for civilian casualties, and compliance with legal and ethical standards. The document calls for investigations into possible war crimes and measures to prevent future atrocities and protect civilians.
3. The misuse of UAVs could have negative international implications like diplomatic tensions
Peace is the Way No More War -The Current Situation in Ethiopia.pdf
Ethiopia stands at a critical juncture, where the pursuit of peace is not only a moral imperative but also a strategic necessity. The current situation in Ethiopia demands immediate attention and concerted efforts from all stakeholders involved. By prioritizing peace, addressing grievances, and fostering reconciliation, Ethiopia can overcome its challenges and build a future where war becomes a distant memory. It is through peace that Ethiopia can truly thrive and become a beacon of hope for the region and the world.
Disarmament and Demobilization A Path to Peace in Tigray, Amhara, and Oromia.pdf
Disarmament and demobilization efforts in Tigray, Amhara, and Oromia are crucial steps towards achieving lasting peace in Ethiopia. By removing the presence of armed groups, rebuilding trust among different ethnic communities, and addressing underlying grievances, the country can overcome its ethnic divisions and work towards a prosperous future for all its citizens. International support and long-term solutions are vital to ensure the success of these efforts and pave the way for a more peaceful and inclusive Ethiopia.
Elite Politics in Ethiopia Dynamics and Implications.pdf
Elite politics in Ethiopia remains a critical factor in the country's governance and development. The competition for power, resources, and influence among different elite groups, fueled by ethnic and regional interests, can both shape and hinder political processes and socioeconomic progress. Addressing the challenges associated with elite politics requires efforts to foster inclusive governance, promote dialogue, and encourage the emergence of a shared national identity that transcends ethnic boundaries. Moving forward, Ethiopia should aspire towards a more inclusive and participatory political system that incorporates diverse voices and addresses the concerns of all citizens. By promoting genuine dialogue and cooperation among elite groups, Ethiopia can work towards a more stable, united, and democratic future.

Today, more than millions of people live in my
country affected by war and conflict — a majority of
which are under the age of 30 and below. These numbers
alone justify the inclusion and consideration of
youths in policymaking and planning. But in practice,
the meaningful participation of young people in
peacebuilding has been hindered by discourses that
overwhelmingly depict youths as victims or villains,
and from my personal experience, who lost his
a friend in a youth movement and the above reasons and
others, I am interested to promote youths as active
leaders and partners in peace-building processes and
decision-makers. I believe if we empower youths,
they can play a positive role in peacebuilding which
is why I choose this sector to work.

Ethiopian Peace Ambassador December 12.pdf
This document discusses the concept of peace in three parts:
1) It defines positive peace as freedom from conflict, violence and oppression, and negative peace as merely the absence of direct violence. Positive peace allows for justice, equality and cooperation between groups.
2) It outlines two types of peace - direct peace, which is freedom from harm, injury or oppression, and structural peace, which aims for justice, equality and respect for human dignity. Structural peace addresses the root causes of injustice and works to establish fair systems.
3) It describes the culture of peace as promoting values of respect, equality, solidarity and a lively civil society within and between all social groups. A culture of peace seeks to resolve conflicts peacefully

Community leaders play a crucial role in building and maintaining peace in rural Ethiopia. As respected elders, they bring different ethnic groups together to resolve disputes and promote peaceful coexistence. As a community leader focused on peacebuilding, one would work to establish relationships between groups, facilitate dialogues to address grievances, and promote equitable management of scarce resources to address the root causes of conflicts. To be effective, a community leader must be a trusted, impartial figure who understands community culture and can navigate social dynamics tactfully. Their efforts are essential for mediating conflicts, fostering understanding, and creating a peaceful environment where diversity is celebrated.

facing the Ethiopian state today.
Identity at the peace, conflict security & development Nexus
All animals recognize differences between “self” and “other”. In human societies, these differences take on enormous significance, partly because humans are so individualistic – rather than being clone-like automatons, humans have individual personalities. Society validates that individualism by giving infants unique names. Those names also keep track of who’s related to whom, sometimes for generations back into the past. On the other hand, Ethnic groups constitute an identity as defined by outsiders who do not belong to the group but identify it as different from their own groups and by “insiders” who belong to the same group. This generally becomes the basis of mobilizing group’s consciousness and solidarity and which in certain situation result in political activities.

Abstract
The main objective of this study is to examine the role of military diplomacy in Ethiopia foreign policy. To achieve this objective qualitative approach was employed for the study and data was collected through interview of key informants and checklist as primary data while secondary data was from different materials in the education center and electronic materials. For this study purposive and non-probable sampling techniques were used to collect information from sources believed for their knowledge about the subject studied. To accomplish objective of the study qualitative method of data analysis was applied since it facilitates detailed study of social phenomenon based on feelings, experiences, motives and behaviors of targeted group’s and their attitudes. This study explores the dynamics of Ethiopian military diplomacy in the present time. Study found out that, the government using of military diplomacy has been shaped up by the nature of the domestic political system, geopolitics, and the international system. Overall, for an economically poor and geopolitically constrained country like Ethiopia, military diplomacy has significantly helped preserve its territorial integrity and national independence. Ethiopian National Defense Force used several categories of components of military diplomacy, which includes; the education and training of foreign officers and cadets, Strategic Security Dialogues, Defense Attaché Offices, High-level Military Exchanges, Functional and Educational Military Exchanges, Combined Exercises and Training, UN Peacekeeping Operations, Humanitarianism Assistance/Disaster Relief, which helps to achieve as a tool for the achievement of Ethiopian foreign policy objective. This thesis paper calls for the government should use military diplomacy to create a positive image of states and Ethiopia needs a definite and structured policy and road map for engaging other countries, and the government should develop a doctrine for how it will use military diplomacy to support foreign policy.
