Ethiopian Army Murders, Rapes, and Kidnaps Sudanese Anuaks
(Washington, D.C. 15 April 2006): Ethiopian Army troops that invaded Sudan
three weeks ago in search of leaders of the Anuak ethnic group, partially
withdrew into Ethiopia Wednesday under pressure from the several Western
governments. However, some of the Ethiopian troops sent from Dimma,
Ethiopia reportedly remain in Sudan, reuniformed as troops of the Sudan
Peoples Liberation Army. They have reportedly pillaged up to thirty Anuak
villages and carried out mass killings and rapes.
Genocide Watch, Washington, D.C. based chair of the
International Campaign to End Genocide, charges that Ethiopian Army troops
tortured and murdered the chief of Pinythiinh village, Sudan when he could
not hand over guns that they accused him of hiding. The Ethiopian Army also
murdered five Anuaks in Obwodi village, Sudan (two women, two men, and one
child.) Inside Ethiopia, the army killed four Anuaks (three elders and one
child) and kidnapped ten boys in Tado village. Young men have also been
kidnapped in other villages and are being held in Pinyudo, Ethiopia. The
Ethiopian Army has systematically raped the women of Obwodi, Pinythiinh,
Tado, Nyiuum and other Anuak villages. Genocide Watch bases its charges on
multiple direct Anuak sources in Pochalla, Sudan, corroborated by
international organizations and Western governments.
The Ethiopian Army has carried out massacres against the Anuak
since December 2003 that have cost at least 2500 lives. Major oil reserves
have been discovered in Gambella province, Ethiopia, the Anuak homeland.
The Ethiopian government is attempting to repopulate the province with
settlers from the Ethiopian highlands, who view the Anuak as racially
inferior. Genocide Watch has declared a Genocide Alert.
Excellent efforts. Please keep on trying. Reach out to the international community out there, especially north America and the Scadinvian countries. Target the East African countries and the Horn of Africa countries.
Giving up is NOT AN OPTION.
