Appalled by reports last week of killings in Gambella and Oromia in #Ethiopia. Violence against civilians is unacceptable and undermines efforts to win lasting peace. I support @EthioHRC’s call for the protection of civilians.
Horrified by recent violent attacks in western #Ethiopia. This hampers national reconciliation prospects. We echo the call from the @EthioHRC for protection of civilians and urge all actors to end the violence and take steps towards peace. Accountability must be ensured.
