Five people have died on the streets of Addis Ababa on Monday during a demonstration, which followed the killings of over 25 people and robbery over the weekend in the neighboring Burayu town at the outskirt of Addis Ababa. The incident has caused displacement of thousands of people who run to the neighboring Addis Ababa to save their lives and their loved ones. The Commissioner stated that so far around 700 people allegedly involved in the attack and robbery are arrested in both Addis Ababa city and Burayu town. So far 12,000 people, mostly Gammo people who are orifinaly from Southern part of Ethiopia, are displaced from Burayu town, according to media reports. We encourage each of you to carry this discussion into your communities, seeking common ground and opportunities for cooperation,” the United States Embassy in Addis Ababa said.
