Addis Ababa, November 05, 2021 — Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) terrorists have been looting schools during their invasion of North Wollo of Amhara region while destroying or burning stuff they could not carry to Tigray. And in some places, they were forcing residents to purchase them. They even 'sold' by force school computers and laboratory equipment, said witnesses who spoke to Ethiopian Press.
"They came to my home carrying broken computers and asked me to purchase them. But I told them I didn't know how to use a computer and they just forced me to give them the money I had in my pocket. I gave them what I had and they threw the computer and left", said Aynachew in an interview after his town, Kokit, was freed by Ethiopian forces.
One of the witnesses also said he was forced to purchase the school items such as printers after he saw another person getting executed for refusing to purchase them.
According to witnesses, who fled from TPLF occupied towns, who spoke to EthiopianCitizen, said that the group makes people purchase things it stole to frame the community as if it also participated in the looting.
However, most people are keeping the stolen items safe in their home. People like Kassa, who had an interview with Ethiopian Press, said that they are returning the equipment that the TPLF terrorists made them purchase. "These are the equipment that our children use for learning," he said.
In Kokit town of North Wollo, Amhara region, the terrorist group not only stole school materials but it also burnt student certificates and financial documents of the school.
