In Amhara Region:
❗4,178 schools closed due to ongoing insecurity & impact of previous conflict
❗Some 300 schools damaged & 350 non-functional
❗Over 4.1m children out of school
❗Over 1.5m children need school feeding services
As long as the Addis regime retains unchecked and exclusive war-making powers, threat of genocidal war on Tigray and others remains ever-present.
