Tribal Warfare in Rural Ethiopia
“We just had to jump from our sleep and protect ourselves. Because it was night, we didn’t see who was attacking us, but we think they were the people called Gherri from Somali regional state.
“They came on foot, without vehicles, but they had bombs and missile launchers, and at that time we didn’t have guns, only sticks to defend ourselves.”
Wamo, his family and neighbours fled with just the clothes they stood up in.
They managed to bring some of their stronger livestock with them, but they had to leave the weaker ones behind to be taken by the raiders.
Now they are camped close to the dirt road that runs east from Yabelo, the administrative headquarters of Ethiopia’s Borana zone.
