More than 200 people, mostly ethnic Amhara, killed in an attack in Ethiopia's Oromia region – witnesses
Ethiopia is experiencing widespread ethnic tensions in several regions, most of them over historical grievances and political tensions.
“I have counted 230 bodies. I am afraid this is the deadliest attack against civilians we have seen in our lifetime,” Abdul-Seid Tahir, a resident of Gimbi county, told AP news agency after barely escaping the attack. He said ethnic Amhara that settled in the area about 30 years ago in resettlement programs are now being “killed like chickens.”Both witnesses blamed the Oromo Liberation Army for the attacks.
