In Bati town, which is along the Kombolcha-Asaita road, the OLF Shane group attacked a hotel whose ownership is unspecified. Five people were wounded as the armed group threw a hand grenade.
The Amhara region also announced that several armed OLF groups were captured. On the part of the region’s security forces, one policeman is wounded, as confirmed by Ato Temesgen Tiruneh.
Those who lost their privilege because of the political change in the country are beyond the attack, he said. “Cleaning the spider web does not solve the problem. The spider itself needs to be a target,” he added.
At least 166 innocent civilians are reportedly killed in the Oromo region of Ethiopia following the killing of Ethiopian singer Hachalu Hundessa. Properties worth hundreds of millions of birr is destroyed and looted. Authorities in the region say Oromo Liberation Front Shane group is behind the massacre of civilians and looting in the past few days.
