Gang Rape, Sexual Slavery of Women In #Oromia
“Members of #OLA have subjected women and girls to sexual violence committing rape, gang rape, sexual slavery, summary killings and destruction of civilian property which may amount to war crimes,” Amnesty International said in a new briefing today.
Executions, Torture, Abductions, Rape In #Oromia
“The research that we conducted puts both the #OLA and gov’t forces in the middle of the conflict in terms of summary executions, in terms of torture, in terms of abductions, in terms of rape of women,” said Sarah Kimani, a spokesperson for Amnesty.
#Ethiopia’s stalemate is deepening. With military victory impossible, #Abiy’s government is leaning on divide‑and‑rule, stoking controlled conflicts from Welkait to Dire Dawa to block a unified opposition and shore up support in #Oromia.

According to the Economist: “Commanders from #Tigray and #Amhara, as well as #Eritreans and rebels from #Oromia, Mr. Abiy’s home region, recently met in #Sudan to discuss joint military planning.”

#Ethiopia 🇪🇹: "Oromo Liberation Army" ( #OLA / #WBO ) ambushed Ethiopian Forces ( #ENDF ); destroyed and looted vehicles in #Oromia Region.
OLA fighters were seemingly armed with a couple of captured KL-103 / AZ-7,62 assault rifles and numerous common AKM / Type 56-2 rifles.
Will have some analysis on this tomorrow if anyone is interested. #Oromia
No one has the right to parcel out and sell Oromo land as if it were a piece of cloth.

Most analysts agree that the #Ethiopian regime led by #Abiy is one of the main destabilizing forces. It kills its own people (#Amhara, #Oromia, #Tigray). It threatens #Eritrea, #Somalia & #Djibouti and supports #RSF in #Sudan. Lastly it fails to reach a deal w #Egypt on #GERD. #Trump #Gaza #France

Seven Years of Abiy Ahmed and Many Missteps
The 2020 genocidal #Tigray war is the deadliest of the 21st century, where over 600,000 died and millions displaced. The #Amhara region is also facing what Tigray has faced. The #Oromia region is stuck in a protracted war.

Magnitude 6.0 Earthquake Strikes Ethiopia, Monitoring Agencies Say
BREAKING: A magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck central #Ethiopia on Friday. The earthquake struck near #Oromia with a population of nearly half a million, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) said.
www.reuters.com/world/africa...
Approximately 99,000 people are affected across 3 regions—60,000 in #Afar and 20,000 in #Oromia and 9,000 in #Amahara—and many residents are uncertain about the appropriate actions to take. About 70,000 people have already relocated & the gov’t is working to evacuate another almost 30,000 people.
New Video Shows Ethiopian Soldiers Executing Youth
Ironically, on the 4th anniversary of the Mahbere Dego massacre, where #Ethiopian soldiers filmed themselves executing dozens of civilians in #Tigray, another video has surfaced showing members of the ENDF killing an unarmed youth in #Oromia.
As of January 11, UN OCHA reports two injuries from seismic activity in Ethiopia. Over 60,000 people have been evacuated, including 51,456 in #Afar and 20,325 in #Oromia. Emergency shelters are in place, with 16 schools severely damaged and 21 partially affected.
Despite fragmenting insurgencies in the #Amhara and #Oromia regions, there remains little prospect of comprehensive peace deals in #Ethiopia, where Prime Minister #AbiyAhmed is set to increasingly rely on repression to maintain his grip on power.
