Current, in the case of the Ampere, is literally dC/dt or coulombs/s. When using Amperes like in conventional electronics its not a directional vector quantity, like a current density which you might encounter in plasma physics which would typically have the units of (electron#/volume/time) with a direction.
If shafri was flying around in a circle with a charge of 1 coulomb at a rate of 1 rotation per second than the current at any point on that circle would be 1 amp, regardless of what is carrying that charge and in which direction.
In a hierarchal sense, a measurement of current in Amps is devoid of direction. As long as your reference of flow is constant throughout your analysis and you take into consideration the behavior of field controlled devices you can arrive at the same conclusions regardless of what the actual electrons are doing.
