I believe that the ethnic group described by this article is the Bari people. The article consists of original research advocating for the 'Karo' name over Bari. I can find no reference for its claims. The three references provided were all published years before the events described in the article were alleged to have taken place. I was able to retrieve the full text of two of them (Seligman and Yunis) and found that they did not contain the word 'Karo' at all. Confusingly, there does appear to be a Karo ethnic group in East Africa: the Karo people of Ethiopia, but they are not the Karo (Bari) people described here. ATDT (talk) 07:12, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
