Gunmen kill at least 32 in Ethiopia ‘massacre’: national rights body
ADDIS ABABA, Nov 3, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – An armed group active in Ethiopia’s restive Oromia region killed at least 32 civilians in a weekend “massacre”, the national rights body said Monday, adding that the true toll could be higher.
“Official figures state a death toll of 32 civilians, but preliminary evidence obtained by EHRC indicate the number is very likely to exceed that tally,” the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission said in a statement.
