The coalition of rights advocates, which includes the Ethiopian Human Rights Council and Association for Human Rights in Ethiopia among others, expressed concerns that ongoing political volatility could further destabilize parts of the country approaching the holiday period. - Advertisement -Of the many more organizations that expressed their concern, the Consortium of Ethiopian Human Rights Organizations (CEHRO), Association for Human Rights in Ethiopia (AHRE), Siiqqee Women’s Development Association, Ethiopian Media Women Association and Good Governance for Africa East Africa (GGA-EA) were among othem. In her presentation about the previous year’s human rights situation, Mesert Ali, the executive director of the Association for Human Rights in Ethiopia (AHRE), stated that her organization was gravely concerned about serious safety issues, which also makes it difficult to investigate human rights situations. “It wasn’t simple to collect and collate human rights concerns throughout the nation,” she continued, pointing out that when the government is questioned about people who are unjustly detained, including journalists, human rights campaigners, and defenders, it does provide a sufficient information or rarely respond properly. As a civic society, our task is to call upon the government and respective figures to take corrective action in situations of violations of human rights.
