EHRC says rebel group killed 150 people in Oromia region last week, and 60 others were killed in reprisal attacks.
More than 210 people have been killed across several days of ethnic violence in Ethiopia’s tense Oromia region last week, the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has said. The state-affiliated but independent commission said on Thursday that witnesses described gunmen affiliated with the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), a rebel group, arriving on August 18 after security forces withdrew from Gida-Kirimu in the western region. “The area’s residents and others have told the commission more than 150 people were killed by the gunmen,” the human rights body said.
