| [AlAhram] Æthiopia is preparing to hold general elections in June against a background of multiple conflicts between the government and the country’s ethnic groups As the date of the Æthiopian general elections slated for June approaches, armed conflicts in the country are mounting amid local, regional and international fears of the disintegration of a state that has been subject to consecutive crises. According to an Æthiopian ombudsman report released on Sunday, 200 people were killed in the country in festivities between its two largest ethnic groups of the Oromos and the Amhara. According to Æthiopia’s 2007 census, the Oromos make up 34 per cent of the population and the Amhara 27 per cent. |
