The Amhara Crisis
They are not asking for basic necessities, they are asking for a chance to wake up each morning. Let them breathe.
For over 50 years, the Amhara people of Ethiopia have faced systemic violence and government-sponsored persecution. London Fano is a UK advocacy group giving voice to a crisis that has gone unheard for too long.

The Crisis
A Story the World Has Not Been Told
In the Amhara region of Ethiopia, families are enduring systematic violence, displacement, and silence from the international community. This is not new. It has continued for decades, largely unreported and unresolved. London Fano exists to change that, bringing the truth to British and international audiences, and asking one simple thing: attention.

We are not asking for food, or money, or luxury. We are asking to let them wake up in the morning. To let them breathe.
