Ethiopia has charged 22 people for allegedly inciting violence in schools in Oromia, the country's largest state. The court claimed the individuals acted after receiving instructions from Kenya and Norway-based leaders of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF), which the government labelled as a terrorist organisation. Ethiopia has detained 11,000 people following months of anti-government protests in Oromia and Amhara regions. During rallies, Oromo people attacked foreign-owned factories, acts of violence that could result in a reduction in investments in the country. The Ethiopian government labelled the OLF as a terrorist organisation that carries out violent acts in Ethiopia, Somalia and Kenya.
