Governor Shimelis Abdisa said to querros, “What then shall I do with these people who are called Amharas?”
They all said to him, “Let them be killed!”
Then the governor said, “Why, what evil have they done?”
But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let them be killed!”
When Governor Shimelis Abdisa saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that an uproar was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying,
“I am innocent of the blood of Amhara people. You see to it''.
The deafening silence of Governor Shimelis Abdisa in regard to the atrocious crime being committed in oromo killil against the amharas is an indication the PM wants to do the talking while the job is done.
