Amhara Genocide - Tolle, Gimbi, Oromia


“We have buried four hundred fifty corpses so far. However, there were some dead bodies that remained unburied. Moreover, wild beasts ate the carcass of Emama Mutie who lived in Gutin Sefer. In a jungle found at Chefie village (wherein fifty three people were mass murdered in one place) we buried fifty five dead bodies almost all were children and women. Only a small number of them were adult men.
In Silsaw Sefer, we managed the mass burial of sixty three carcasses in a single, small and below standard hole (comprising forty eight who were mass slaughtered at a Moseque backyard named Jafer). Additionally, there are 3 mass graves in the nearby area of the mosque where we managed the funeral of fourteen, eleven and two corpses, respectively. When we see the case of Gutin Sefere, we collected 12 dead bodies that were ignited with fire inside a hut where they tried to be out of sight from the heinous mass killers of OLA. Similarly, we covered their corpses with soil in a single hole.
In the other hand, the funeral of the remaining twenty eight deceased bodies that we collected from the same village was managed in three different sites located at the village. We have not yet finished the collection and burial of the dead bodies in a village called Begene. Nevertheless, we buried seventy one corpses in one mass grave site and eleven others in an identified place of the village. We have also managed the burial of numerically counted 124 dead bodies in villages including Seventy Seven at (Seni and Assosa Sefer), Seventeen at (Karakore), Fourteen at (Oromo Shewa), and sixteen at (Hayaw) villages.’’
