Second round of talks between Ethiopian government and Oromo rebels
A first round of talks, between late April and early May, had ended in persistent disagreement. Despite the declared willingness of the parties to continue talks, ten days later the OLA accused the Ethiopian government of having launched an offensive contrary to the "hoped-for de-escalation". The OLA has been repeatedly accused by the government of being responsible for these massacres, a charge it systematically denies. The government, for its part, is accused of indiscriminate repression, which fuels Oromo resentment against the federal government. In addition to Oromia, Ethiopia is torn apart by numerous unrelated conflicts, often linked to identity claims or territorial disputes.

The WHO warned that the ongoing dengue fever outbreak in Ethiopia is one of several concurrent outbreaks that the East African country is facing, including cholera, COVID-19, malaria, and measles. The WHO also warned that the current climate change led by the El Nino phenomenon could extend the transmission period of major vector-borne diseases including dengue fever.
