Oromia: Somali and Oromos

oromia: More than 55,000 Oromos were displaced from the Somali region after the recent incident and are now sheltered in makeshift camps, Addisu Arega, Oromia region's spokesman, said in the statement, according to Metro News. Overall, some 416,807 Oromos have been displaced this year alone in fear of attacks by the Somali region's Special Police Force. The statement from the Oromia government follows claims by Somali regional officials earlier this week that more than 50 people were killed in an attack against ethnic Somalis in Aweday town. Oromia officials say only 18 people were killed and that Oromos have been moving out of Somali towns and villages in fear of reprisals. Though they agreed to reconcile in April, conflict persists in many locations. Border disputes between the two ethnic groups are common. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
