#GPE_AtrocityReport:
Reports of targeted killings, burnings and lootings in Eastern Wollega-

In Horo Gudru Zone, Amuroh Woreda, at 7 in the morning on December 15, 8 ethnic #Amharas were attacked by #OLFShane and #OLFShane supporters. The estimated number of attackers were(1/)

were 50, with about 10 of them that were armed with guns, and the rest machetes. The 8 innocent victims were slaughtered using machetes and known to be long time residents of the area. Here are their names:
1. Hawa Hassen [Elderly female]
2. Melkeye Hamza [Adult female]

3. Hassan Ayalew [Young male]
4. Kedija Adem [Young Female]
5. Wude Hebre [Severe head trauma (transferred to Bahirdar and under critical condition)]
6. Demeke Yemer [Young Male]
7. Tuba Gede [Young Male]
8. Mamush GetewAlem [3 DAYS OLD BABY BOY]

We are very concerned with reports that The Oromia Liyu Force has commented by saying they were not aware of the atrocities in spite of numerous social media campaigns that attempted to alert of looming threats.The district administrators have also reportedly declined to offer

protection to residents that are under threat of #OLF. We would like to remind the international community that ethnic #Amharas are under constant threat of genocide in #Oromia as well as in all the seven Woredas or districts of #Metekel. #StopAmharaGenocide #AmharaGenocide
