The ex-rebel group, Ogaden National Liberation Front, ONLF, blamed persons they said were Oromo militia for the incidents that happened in the town of Moyale, near Ethiopia’s border with Kenya. “ONLF strongly condemns the mass killings against defenceless Somali civilians in Moyale of Somali State by Oromo militias. “We urge Ethiopian government and Somali Regional State, SRS, to take immediate action to stop these violent militias attacking Somalis,” they said in a tweet. It is not the first time Oromo militia are being cited as a source of deadly attacks. Over a dozen ethnic Somalis were killed after two separate attacks in and around the east Hararghe zone of the Oromia region – specifically in the areas of Babile, Chinaksen & Tulli Guled.
