In Ethiopia, a wave of violence in November has left more than 50 civilians dead, as reported by the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC). Additionally, unidentified assailants killed 30 individuals in the Arsi zone of Oromia, including several family members. The violence also extended to religious communities, with nine members of the Lutheran church in the Hamo-Tokuma diocese of the Oromia region killed by unknown attackers on November 25. The Oromo region is vast, stretching across a significant portion of the country and housing a substantial part of Ethiopia’s population. The region is beset by multifaceted violence, including internal political strife, territorial disputes, community animosities, and the recent emergence of armed banditry.
