A resident reported ‘The militants stole over 5000 cattle. We have nothing to say, the shops, and even furniture was not spared, they [militants] loaded it onto their cars and left.’ In a press release on 2 September, OLF-OLA High Command wrote ‘In Amuru district, 16 of its 21 kebeles have been under their [Amhara forces] occupation with the full approval of the regime. These forces are trained in the Birsheleko Military Training Camp found near Bure, a mere 50 km from the site of this massacre as part of an initiative overseen by Deputy Prime Minister Demeke Mekonnen.’
