In the Amhara region, ethnic clashes in November 2023 within the Awi and West Gojam zones resulted in multiple casualties, as verified by the Commission. In Oromia, a series of attacks within a week in the Arsi and Qellem Wollega Zones claimed the lives of numerous civilians. On the same day, at least 12 civilians lost their lives in a similar attack in Sole Digelu Kebele. The EHRC reiterated its commitment to ongoing monitoring and evidence gathering in the affected zones.
