Former Ethiopian minister arrested for links with Oromo rebels
Ethiopian police announced the arrest on Tuesday of a former minister accused of "collaborating" with Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) rebels. Taye Dendea, former Minister Delegate for Peace, had posted on his Facebook account on Monday a letter from Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, informing him of his ouster from the government. An OLA member "who used three different identities was also found hiding in (the minister's) residence and was arrested", the police added. More than 50 civilians were killed in attacks in the Oromia region in November, according to the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC). The Oromo region is plagued by multi-faceted violence, making the situation extremely confusing: internal political struggles, territorial disputes, and animosities between communities, combined with the recent development of armed banditry.
