Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

This study had initially planned to cover four key regions. However, as the research commenced new information regarding the scale and reach of the atrocities came to light resulting in the expansion of the regions covered. For example, the initial plan had been to collect information in the East region including Asebot Monastery, Bedeno, Weter, Gara Muleta and Gelemso. All the above, excluding Asebot Monastery and Gelemso, are located within East Harerge. However, once the research commenced, it became known that many Amharas had been killed within West Harerge. Therefore, the decision wastaken to focus on West Harerge (including Gelemso, Anchar, Daro Lebu, Wefi, Dance ...etc). The massacre in West Harerge saw the loss of between 10,000 - 15,000 Amhara lives - a scale that is comparable to that of the Metekel massacre.In Arsi Kifle Hager, [Arsi Administrative Zone], the initial plan of the study had been to focus on Arba Gugu Awraja only. However doing this would have excluded a study of key incidents that took place prior to and post 2005/2006 (E.C. 1998) in West Arsi (including Arsi Negele) from Shashemene to Kofele and Kore. It was therefore decided to include these regions.
