Militia members from Ethiopia’s second largest ethnic group killed dozens of people and torched and looted homes in an attack on a town in the country’s restless Oromia region, survivors told AFP. “The attackers attacked... from three directions using gunfire and continued their attacks until around 2:00 pm,” a survivor, who fled Agamsa told AFP. Both said the men were members of a militia based in the neighboring Amhara region. A resident, who fled Agamsa but returned, said: “I’m still in Agamsa town but there is no government security forces presence. In June, hundreds of mainly Amhara civilians were killed in a restive area in the far west of the country.
