Over three million Ethiopians are internationally displaced, by far the highest figure the world over including conflict-ridden countries like Syria and Yemen, due to ethnic violence. In the past few weeks, ethnic-based violence is happening once again in University grounds – this time in Northern and central Ethiopia. On May 26, 2019, Seare Abraham, a graduating student of economics from Shere Endaselassie, in Tigray in Northern Ethiopia, was killed in Debremarkos University. Yesterday, DW Amharic reported that Aksum University students staged a demonstration in their campus. Before the recent incidents in central, north western and northern Ethiopia, universities in south and south eastern parts of the country experienced ethnic violence.
