Ethiopian forces clash with protesters in Oromia
Ethiopian security forces kill at least 10 people as Oromo protests return to Ambo
Secuity forces on Thursday fired live ammunition at protesters who had blocked roads, killing 10 and wounding 20 other in Ethiopia’s restive town of Ambo in central Oromia, according to a spokesperson for the town.
The killing signals dangerous escalation as regional Oromo authorities call for meaningful implementation of the country’s federalist constitution.
Ambo located in the Oromia region – the country’s biggest region– was the heartbeat of spreading anti-government protests that started in late 2015 through to the better part of last year.
