Ethiopia says it is experiencing stability and steady progress. Government spokesperson Legesse Tulu stated, “The country is experiencing an atmosphere of peace like never before,” though this assertion contrasts with reports of widespread violence and instability in several regions. The ongoing conflict in the Amhara and Oromia regions has resulted in significant death, displacement, and civilian suffering. Civilians have also been targeted by drone strikes, and farming villages have been subjected to bombardment, leading to numerous casualties. Additionally, the spokesperson revealed that an independent commission has been set up to deal with the underlying grievances of the population.
