Farmers, who have been evicted from the Kemashi Zone of Benishangul Gmuz Region, have told ESAT that they were in “mixed emotions” as they were being returned back to the Region and their homes.
One of the farmers preferring to remain anonymous said “lost properties can be earned back. We would like to thank all those that helped us to be back alive”.
Another farmer said that the cooperation of all those that have been with them was still dearly needed as the situation has not been fully solved yet. He also pleaded that his properties be returned.
Similarly, Ethiopians in Addis Abeba and other regions are condemning the persecution being committed against Ethiopians of the Amhara ethnic origin. A caller from Addis Abeba, who goes by the name, Eskedar said that Ethiopians should say “Stop” to this dictatorial regime and all should rise up. Another caller from Addis Abeba also said that Ethiopians should take to the streets.
A resident of Arsi Zone, Oromia Region on his part said that he was bewildered why everyone was sitting and watching while all this abuse was taking place and advised that something should be done.
ESAT understands that there are still over 2000 Ethiopians of the Amhara ethnic origin who have not yet been resettled back in Benishangul Gumez Region yet.
Similarly, hundreds of Ethiopians of the Amhara ethnic origin, who have been residing in the Minit Wereda of Southern Ethiopia, have been evicted from the Region. Seven of these evictees have reportedly been killed.
Last year, 20,000 Ethiopians of the Amhara ethnic origin have been evicted from the Grura Farda area of South Ethiopia. Although the Regime has been stating that the evictees were resettled in their respective Regions, it has not yet disclosed where and when they have been resettled.
