By Dawit EndeshawADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Gunmen have killed 32 people and torched more than 20 houses in a raid on an area of western Ethiopia, a regional administrator said on Monday. The killings were carried out on Sunday by an armed group called OLF Shane in the Western Wollega Zone of the Oromiya region, administrator Elias Umeta told Reuters. OLF Shane says it is fighting for the right of the Oromos, the largest ethnic group in Ethiopia. "They were executed after they were told by the armed group they want to have a meeting with them," he said. The state-run Ethiopian Human Rights Commission said the attack had targeted people from the ethnic Amharic group.
