The massacre of unarmed Aunak( local people) civilian. In that town many residents were blame EPRDF forces forces for that massacre in Itang town for couples reason: EPRDF forces was ignore order from State President for more than a week and eyewitness said that their ransom took to EPRDF Generals on June 2002 from Nuar group. Those ransom contribution in United State, Europe and far east countries whom they were settles in those countries. So, EPRDF ethnic policy Aunak (local people) endanger in last decade. Since EPRDF and Meles control central Government in Addis Ababa there is a lot of incidents in Gambella Ethiopia whcih local people was victim of those incidents. Since that more 1500 people lost their life, families separated, around 700 people relocation to safe place, and more 800 rape case been reported to local Government in Gambella in last eleven years. For those reason many people ask them why Gambella State been ignore by EPRDF's Government? Indeed, no one had answer till now.
