According to the eyewitnesses, even though the newly armed civilians did not have a gunfire experience, they were armed with high quality guns which are not even held by members of the Ethiopian national army.

The OLA militants have killed thousands of ethnic Amhara civilians, abducted scores of university students, and pillaged and burned untold numbers of homes in east Wollega zone of Oromia Regional State over the past four years following the coming of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to power in April 2, 2010.
