The deadly ethnic violence along Ethiopia’s border with Kenya continues to escalate, showing no signs of abating as it enters its third day.
The clashes between Oromo and Somali communities in and around Moyale have reportedly claimed lives, left people injured, and caused widespread destruction through arson and looting.
Hundreds of Ethiopian civilians, including women and children, have fled across the border into Kenya to escape the violence.
The fighting has reportedly spread to multiple locations, raising fears of further casualties, mass displacement, and a deeper humanitarian crisis.
The unrest, fueled by longstanding territorial and administrative disputes and tensions over the raising of the Somali Regional State flag, underscores the urgent need to protect civilians and prevent further escalation.
