FILE - Ethiopia's Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed speaks at a final campaign rally at a stadium in the town of Jimma in the southwestern Oromia Region of Ethiopia, June 16 2021. “It all started with a confrontation between a single local militia and members of the Oromia special forces,” he said. “This militia group is killing our people, burning villages and looting everything we own,” Dhugassa Feyissa told the AP. The prime minister last week said only that some “enemies with extreme views” were trying to destabilize the country, without giving details. Many Oromos were jubilant when Abiy, who identifies as Oromo, became prime minister in 2018.
