Amharas charred to death inside

AAA has verified from multiple sources that 12 civilians including three children who were hiding in a hut in Gutin village were deliberately burnt to death by the assailants. While the victims were inside the hut the militants arrived and surrounded the hut. They then set fire to the hut while the victims inside were crying to be spared. All were burned with the hut. The victims who were charred to death included Leyla Aminu who was six months pregnant and her 6-year-old daughter Sofia Seyd; Ansha Nuru who was nine months pregnant with her 3-year-old son and her brother’s 6-year-old daughter; Nurit Yasin, a mother of two, Sheikh Mohammed Ahmed with his five other family members; his wife Aminat Yimam, his daughter Zemzem Mohammed, his daughter Rabia Mohammed, and his other mentally ill-daughter (name unknown), and his grandson Kasim Itefa (Zemzem’s son). Remains of their bodies that were consumed by the fire were buried in a mass grave in the same place they were burned. In a similar method of killing, a source told AAA that the OLA militants dragged a 40-year-old mother; Ansha Ibrahim Yimer into a hut located in Silsaw village, and then set fire to it causing the hut to burn down while she was inside the hut.
