HeadlineJun 21, 2022

In news from Ethiopia, witnesses say at least 200 civilians were killed in a massacre Saturday in the western region of Oromia. Some witnesses put the death toll at over 320. Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed condemned what he called “horrific attacks.” One survivor said members of the Oromo Liberation Army carried out the attack targeting ethnic Amharas, who are a minority in the region. However, members of the OLA blamed government forces for carrying out the massacre.
