Markets. Health centers. Schools. These are the targets of the Ethiopian government's drone attacks in the Amhara region. Civilian structures with civilian casualties. Nothing changed in Ethiopia. Whether in Oromia, Tigray or Amhara, the Ethiopian army targets citizens with precision strikes.

Good to see people returning home. But they need massive support from the government to become self-sufficient again. Since this is unlikely, aid agencies need to step in with more than just starter packs and a one time food ration. Don't scratch those people from aid beneficiary lists just yet.
