In the Oromia region, the rebel group OLA is said to have killed numerous people. Eyewitnesses report that the victims are mainly women, children and the elderly.

According to eyewitness reports, more than 200 civilians have been killed in Ethiopia . Armed men are said to have killed mainly members of the Amhara ethnic group in an attack in Oromia, the largest region of the East African country. The attack happened near the town of Gimbi on Saturday.

The regional government in Oromia confirmed the attack and blamed the rebel group Oromo Liberation Army (OLA). The OLA fighters could not have withstood the government troops and then attacked the Amhara.

Eyewitnesses reported that the victims were mainly women, children and the elderly. Many people remained hidden for fear of subsequent attacks.

A spokesman for OLA rejected the allegations. “The attack you are referring to was carried out by the regime’s military and local militia as they retreated from their camp in Gimbi after our recent offensive,” said OLA spokesman Odaa Tarbii.

Ethiopia classified the OLA as a terrorist group after aligning itself with the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF). OLA and TPLF are accusedof wanting to destabilize Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed ‘s government . The OLA, a splinter group of the political party Oromo Liberation Front, calls for more autonomy and self-determination for the Oromo people.

The Amhara are the second largest ethnic group in the country. In regions like Oromia, they have often been the target of attacks.
