THIS SCHOOL HAS A FILE
Sana Primary School is not a name that appears today for the first time.
▸ 7 SEPTEMBER 2026
The Amhara Association of America documented government drone strikes on two primary schools in Dera woreda, South Gondar — Sana and Mecho.
[ DOCUMENTED · AAA weekly update, 7–13 Sept 2026 ]
▸ THE DAY THEY CHOSE
Registration day. The one morning when every child in the catchment is standing in the schoolyard with a parent, waiting to be written into a book.
The timing followed announcements that formal education would resume.
▸ AAA'S OWN CAVEAT, WHICH I KEEP
The civilian death toll from that September strike "was not yet confirmed." Six weeks on, as far as I can find, it still has not been.
▸ AND A SECOND CAVEAT, MINE
No UN body, no wire service and no human rights organisation has corroborated the September strike either. The only sourcing is AAA. I am giving it to you as an advocacy record, because that is what it is.
▸ SO HOLD TWO THINGS AT ONCE
A school in this woreda, with this name, was struck six weeks ago and the dead were never counted. That is the context for today.
It is also the reason to be careful: a name that is already in the record can be recycled. I want today verified on its own evidence, not on September's.
‖ Two strikes on one school is not bad luck.
‖ But I will wait to say that until today stands up on its own evidence.
