Attention for Innocent

The death toll from the Saturday june 19 massacre of ethnic Amhara civilians in Gimbi, Wollega, in West Ethiopia is well over 1000  

The victims are mostly children and women, according to reports from Ethiopia that are citing eyewitnesses who managed to escape the attack. 

The massacre that seems to have been orchestrated in a way to target an entire community in Tole locality of Gimbi has hit some families harder.  Some have lost multiple family members in the attack.  

There have been recurring massacres in Wollega region of Ethiopia targeting ethnic Amhara since Abiy Ahmed became prime minister of Ethiopia following the resignation of Hailemariam Desalegn in March 2018. 

Thousands of ethnic Amhara civilians have been killed in the Wollega region of Ethiopia. 

The number of deaths from the Saturday attack could rise as there are reported life-threatening wounds.  

Other Ethiopian sources report a much higher number of casualties from the horrific attack by the militant wing of the Oromo Liberation Front. The Ethiopian government calls the armed group Shane but the armed group rejects the designation and calls itself “Oromo Liberation Army” 

Genocide Prevention In Ethiopia, a  social media page, said the casualties from the village attack are over 1500. 
The massacres should be investigating and concerned body take responsibility.
