Africa-Press – Ethiopia. <\/strong><\/span>Survivors of an attack last week in a town in Ethiopia’s western region have told the BBC that they have not received any help.<\/p>\n

Residents said at least 55 people were killed. They said the Fano militia \u2013 affiliated with the Amhara ethnic group – was behind the attack, but there has not been any comment from them.<\/p>\n

“My father Mosisa Jemma who was 108 years old was killed. He was a very old man who can\u2019t get out of his house. People who were able to run and hide in the forest saved their lives,” a local teacher told the BBC.<\/p>\n

Another survivor gave details of the number of the victims.<\/p>\n

\u2018\u2019We have managed to bury 55 dead bodies. They include infants who were found in flood waters. Following the attack by Fano, people fled the area.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The authorities are yet comment on the incident, however Ethiopia\u2019s human rights body told the BBC it will open an investigation.<\/p>\n

Armed groups affiliated with different ethnic groups have been blamed for several attacks targeting civilians.<\/p>\n
