The Amhara Crisis
A Story the World Has Not Been Told
For over 50 years, the Amhara people of Ethiopia have faced systemic violence and government-sponsored persecution, a crisis that has gone largely unreported and unresolved.

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.
Decades of silence
What is happening to the Amhara people has unfolded over generations, yet it rarely reaches British newspapers, broadcast bulletins, or the floor of parliament. The absence of coverage is not the same as the absence of suffering. London Fano exists to close that gap, bringing the truth to British and international audiences, and asking one simple thing: attention.
Why it goes unheard
Distance, complexity, and the sheer length of the crisis have all made it easy to look away. We believe the first step toward change is simply refusing to. When people know, people act.

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.
Anania Abebe, Founder of London Fano
What we are calling for
Three things this crisis has been missing
Attention
Coverage in British media and honest public conversation about what is happening, and why it has continued for so long.
Accountability
Governments and institutions held to account for the violence and persecution taking place in the region.
Protection
The most basic assurance of all, that families can wake up in the morning, safe, and simply breathe.
Add your voice to theirs
You do not need to be Amhara to care about this. The more people who know, the harder this crisis is to ignore.
