Debre Libanos

[Bry]

Recent research has made it clear that Graziani ordered the liquidation of resistance at Debre Libanos.Apparently more than 1200 people.A few years back I viewed a website of an investigation that took place in 73 iirc.Approximately 35 skeletons in a group.Have other bodies been recovered in the past?

The corpses of the executed (1,200 is a wild guess-estimate, the Italian reports state they were 320 in Laga Wolde and 129 in Debre Berhan) were collected in 1941 after the return of Hailé Selassié. I have no further information.

Children were spared and sent to the camps.

And the children being spared is exactly what his daughter told me.

We will not discuss whether 1200 or 600 were killed in a camp. The actions of Graziani are well document (see my recent review of the book Rodolfo Graziani) and there is little to discuss.
