History
Starting on 18 March 2021 clashes broke out in the town of Ataye after Amhara Special Forces shot a person at the steps of the main mosque in the city. From there clashes, riots, and pogroms perpetrated by Oromo militias spread throughout the Oromia Zone eventually making its way to the town of Kemise where extensive damage was done. The clashes finally ended on 31 March killing 303 people. During the Tigray War, on 31 October 2021, the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) said they captured Kemise, on the same day that the Tigray Defense Forces (TDF) also claimed to have captured Kombolcha, 53 km (33 miles) to the north.
