Once again, Oromo Militants affiliated with OLA carried out a heavy attack on innocent Kistane Gurage civilians in Dugda Woreda, in the localities known as Joro, Reqa, and Weji Menjikso, which borders the East Gurage Zone of Soddo Woreda in eastern Gurage.
According to information reaching us from the area, today, Nehase 29, 2017 E.C. (Ethiopian Calendar), starting from 11:00 AM, the group carried out a sudden, heavily armed attack. By the time this report was completed, 15 civilians had been killed in the assault.
Other sources indicate that the group operates with impunity and instills terror among the population, and some of its members are considered dangerous entities who benefit from spreading fear.
From the reports coming out of the area, the death toll has now risen to 15. Those whose deaths have been officially confirmed include:
Mr. Alemayehw Megnase
Mr. Abule Tulu
Mr. Beri Tageze
Mr. Gofte Endale
Mr. Beriso Abebe
Mr. Shekne Sima
Of the 15 confirmed deaths, Beri Abebe was from Weji Menjikso, while the other five victims were from Joro Rega Kebeles.
Although the kebeles differ by name, the area has previously experienced similar attacks during the rainy season, which resulted in multiple civilian deaths and extensive damage to property. Today's incident, unfortunately, continues that pattern.
Many locals reported that the attackers abducted people, and some victims died while trying to escape.

No one has taken responsibility for this horrific and inhumane crime of genocide against Kistane Gurages. More than 60 Gurages slaughtered and burned alive by OLF and Oromia Special Forces.

In East Gurage Zone, Sodo District, the barbaric OLF Shene group has committed a horrific massacre. More than 30 people were killed in this horrible massacre, children, women and the elderly became the victims of the attack 💔😢
