In recent days, Addis Ababa has experienced violent unrest that has led to dozens of killings, mass arrests, and even an internet shutdown. Police said at least 28 people died, seven of them by security forces, during clashes following the return of exiled leaders from opposition group the Oromo Liberation Front. The Oromos are the largest ethnic group in Ethiopia and the attacks reportedly targeted ethnic minorities living both in and areas surrounding the capital. The seismic changes have included freeing journalists, delisting opposition groups as terrorist outfits, mending relations with neighboring nations, and opening up the economy. The advocacy group also put the number of deaths at 58 instead of the government figure of 28.
