Armed groups have continued killing undisclosed number of civilians in Jarda-Jardi, Kiramu, Gida Ayana districts as well as Anger Guten town in east Wollega zone of Ethiopia’s Oromia regional state.
 
Oromia officials called the Amhara meeting and locked them in the hall, they handed over the meeting to the OLF Shene and killed them. The government bodies gathered the Amhara farmers and imprisoned them in the Kiremo Municipality, saying, "Shene will kill you, come to the camp." The elders tried to free the prisoners, but the Oromos were released, but the Amharas were not allowed to leave. Residents said that many people were killed in an attack in East Welega Zone. Thousands of citizens were displaced from their homes to flee further massacres. Today, the killings and robberies are being carried out by the government officials from Wolega to Showa, from Guji to Arsi. As the chief coordinator of the Oromia Special Force, he robbed public and private banks. Genocide of the Amhara people is not an incident but a structural and systemic one, so it will be stopped by structural and systemic change.

The number of casualties is not known yet eyewitnesses Confirmed that at least 200 civilians were killed over the past two days with 26 civilians were killed in Kiramu and another 24 were massacred in Sasuga district in the zone.
 

Ethnic Amhara residents blamed the Oromia regional state’s Special Forces or members of the Oromo militants who call themselves as member of the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) otherwise known as ‘Shane’ for the killing. The Oromo militants were found wearing the military uniforms of the state’s Special Forces.

Administrators of the districts on their hand accused Fano, Amhara armed militia, of killing the civilians largely ethnic Oromo people.

There are no Fano forces but residents in the stated districts have got organized to defend themselves from the unfolding attacks of the Oromo extremists groups.

More than 200 civilians were killed in the latest ethnic based attacks. Majority of them were killed in a crossfire between Oromia Special forces and Amhara militia.

The government of Ethiopia lately deployed the national defense forces to stop the killing amid long time yearning and plea from the residents to rescue them before it is too late.
