Detention, destruction, looting, school closures W1 and ONM reported arbitrary detention, looting and burning by ENDF in Tulu Bolo, Bacho, Sadeen Sodo and Tole districts. Not only homes and farms but schools were put to the torch: in an attack on Golole and Tamsa villages in Tole district in mid-August, homes were destroyed, cattle looted or killed and the primary school, the teacher’s home and all the books were burnt by ENDF. Detainees were being ‘tortured at the district police station’ (ONM). Homes belonging to families of OLA members were particularly likely to be razed, at least in Tole and Bacho districts, according to ONM.
