Political party in Ethiopia
National Movement of Amhara
Founded2018

National Movement of Amhara or NaMA or NAMA is an ethnic Amharan political party created in June 2018 in Bahir Dar, capital of the Amhara Region of Ethiopia.

Creation

NaMA was created in June 2018 in Bahir Dar to defend the interests of people identifying as Amharan in Ethiopia, after Abiy Ahmed became prime minister of Ethiopia and promised the "broadening democratic space".

Leadership and structure

Desalagne Chanie (or Chane) was elected as the chair of NaMA at its creation in June 2018. He was replaced by Belete Molla, who was elected as chair in February 2020 in a meeting that included observers from the National Election Board of Ethiopia (NEBE).

As of February 2020, NaMA was led by an nine-member executive committee, including Belete as chair. One of the executive committee members, Christian Tadele, was at the time under arrest as a suspect in the Amhara Region coup d'état attempt of June 2019.

Political positions

June 2019 Amhara Region coup d'état attempt

In December 2019, NaMA called for the release of its leaders who had been arrested for suspicion of involvement in the June 2019 Amhara Region coup d'état attempt. NaMA stated that the detainees had not been interrogated in relation to the killings that occurred during the attempted coup d'état. NaMA stated that it want "the real culprits" of the event to be "held accountable".

Massacres

In October 2020, NaMA criticised the federal government for killings of ethnic Amharans in Oromia Region, Benishangul-Gumuz Region and Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region. NaMA accused the federal government of "demeaning the attacks, hiding evidence and in frequent cases blaming the victims" and regional government officials of failing to stop the attacks and of supporting the perpetrators.
