	MPR: Anuak in Minnesota fear for homeland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		They insist their Anuak parents, siblings, cousins and friends still in Ethiopia are being systematically killed by the Ethiopian army, and by other ethnic groups incited to violence by the army.
		The Anuak say they believe the government is trying to exterminate their small community to get hold of their homeland, and to send a message to separatist groups active in Ethiopia.
		Anuak leaders in Minnesota say the Ethiopian government may be using ethnic cleansing on their relatively small tribe as a warning to the larger separatist groups that the government will use violence, if necessary, to keep the country unified.

	Anuak Justice Council, Genocide
		In the absence of Anuak men—killed, jailed or driven into exile—Anuak women and girls have been subject to sexual atrocities from which there is neither protection nor recourse.
		Based on a careful application of international legal standards to the crimes committed, it appears that a prima facie case exists against the Ethiopian government for committing the crimes against humanity of murder, deportation or forcible transfer of a population, rape, and persecution of a group.
		It is evident that the Anuak are a distinct group as recognized by the Ethiopian government and other ethnic groups in the area.

	Field Reports: Ethiopia, Targeting the Anuak: Human Rights violations and crimes against humanity in Ethiopia's ...
		On December 13, 2003, a brutal ambush allegedly committed by armed Anuak sparked a bloody three-day rampage in the regional capital in which ENDF soldiers joined "highlander" mobs in the destruction of the town's Anuak neighborhoods.
		The motivations behind the military's assault on the Anuak population -- and the government's failure to address it -- remain unclear.
		Many victims' testimonies seem to indicate that ENDF officers and soldiers, frustrated by their inability to find and destroy the armed Anuak groups they are looking for, have come to believe that the entire Anuak population is colluding with their elusive enemies.

		The Anuak in the districts of Abobo, Dimma and Gog, mostly women, children and elders, as most of the younger men had fled to Sudan in late 2003, were forced to move from the villages where they have lived for generations, to larger towns in their respective districts.

	Ethiopia: Targeting the Anuak: Background and Context
		As recently as 1980, Gambella’s Anuak population was by far the largest ethnic group in the region and a majority of the total population. This began to change very quickly in the mid-1980s.
		Many Anuak bitterly resented the arrival of the settlers brought to Gambella by the Derg, and in May 1991, groups of Anuak villagers attacked and murdered large numbers of highlander farmers who had been living alongside them near the town of Abobo.
		The military has established camps throughout the region and conducts regular patrols throughout most predominantly Anuak areas. The primary reason for the large military presence in Gambella appears to be an effort to eliminate armed Anuak groups in the region and assure the security of areas under exploration for oil.

		The massacres were led by Ethiopian government troops in uniform, but they were joined by local people from highland areas.
		The pretext for these massacres was the ambush of a van on December 13 by an unidentified gang who murdered its eight occupants, who were U.N. and Ethiopian government refugee camp officials.
		Our sources indicate that those targeted particularly have been educated Anuak men, a tactic often intended to render a group leaderless and defenseless.
