A survivor from Wollega said the violence erupted after security forces stationed in the area abruptly and inexplicably left, allowing OLA fighters to round up civilians.

“After collecting us, they opened fire on us, and then afterwards looted cattle and burned down houses,” said the survivor, who spoke on condition of anonymity for safety reasons. “I have counted more than 50 corpses, and I know there were others hit by bullets.”

Dessalegn Chanie, a senior member of Nama, said “up to 200 Amharas were ruthlessly murdered” in the attack on Sunday, though he acknowledged the precise toll was difficult to pin down.

It happens. I don’t know why, and i can’t understand why, but there are organizations that call themselves marxist and also explicitly target civilians. For example PKK bombed civilian areas with no actual political target in them in 90s and 00s.
