Eye witnesses who spoke to Addis Standard last week blamed "Fano militants" for the massacre. The report from the Commission did not mention Fano militants a group of informal armed militia from the Amhara region. However, EHRC's report confirmed that the massacre of the civilians took place from 30 - 31 August in Amuru district, in Horo Guduru Wollega zone, in western Oromia. Tye report confirmed an eye witness account given to Addis Standard by a survivor who said: "the militants stole over 5000 cattle. We have nothing to say, the shops, and even furniture was not spared, they [militants] loaded it onto their cars and left."
