Abstract

The article reports on an alleged army massacre of civilians in Amhara state, Ethiopia. The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) confirmed that at least 45 civilians were extrajudicially killed by government security forces in the town of Merawi. The killings followed clashes between the military and the ethnic Amhara militia, Fano. The United States has called for an investigation into the incident. The article also mentions ongoing conflicts between Tigray and Amhara, as well as the federal army's operations against the rebel Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) in Oromia region. The OLA and the government have made conflicting claims about casualties. Additionally, the article notes the sentencing of al-Shabaab leader Hussein Almed and four commanders to life imprisonment for orchestrating attacks in the Somali region of Ethiopia.
