- Special Zone Surrounding Finfinne
On the first day of Ramadan, 10 March, Fano and Amhara militia attacked two kebeles in the Bate area near Sanbate, a small town in a mountainous area, killing 94 people. One village, Wasan Qurqur, was totally destroyed. In each kebele were 200 or more homes, each with 8-14 people living in them. Thus, at least 4000 Oromo were made homeless. Crops were burnt as well as houses. 1000 cattle and several hundred camels (one house would have 3-4 cows and a camel) were either stolen or shot if they could not be taken away. More than half of all properties were stolen.
