#Ethiopia: Intense fighting continues to rattle #Amhara cities, towns; vicinities of #Debark town become latest targets
Debark town, located in North Gondar Zone, has become the latest site of intense fighting in the Amhara region, following a weekend of clashes. Residents reported ongoing confrontations between government security forces and #Fano militants starting on Saturday, 19 October, 2024, and continuing into Sunday.
The Ethiopian National Defense Force (#ENDF) announced an operation near Debark on October 20, stating that several leaders of what it referred to as "terrorist groups" were "neutralized," and weapons were seized. This follows reports of civilian deaths in the North Gojjam Zone earlier this month, where residents allege drone strikes and shootings killed over 100 individuals, including children and the elderly.

#Ethiopia: Human rights council urges gov’t action as 'most' kidnapped university students remain in captivity
https://t.co/6nFZcFBIQW
The Ethiopian Human Rights Council (#EHRC) reports that many students kidnapped on 03 July, 2024, while traveling from #Debark University to #Addis_Abeba, remain in captivity.
The incident, occurring near #Garba_Guracha in #Oromia, has led to conflicting reports about the students' fate. The Oromia Communication Service Bureau announced on July 10 that 160 out of 167 kidnapped students were freed through a government operation. However, some parents dispute this, claiming they are still in contact with kidnappers demanding ransom.
The EHRC calls for urgent government action to secure the students' release and hold the perpetrators accountable, highlighting an alarming rise in kidnappings in Ethiopia. The organization emphasizes the need to protect citizens' rights to life, safety, and freedom of movement.
#Ethiopia: #OLA denies kidnapping allegations, blames gov’t for university students' abduction
https://t.co/cFIN1w12XA
The Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) has denied involvement in the recent kidnapping of students from #Debark University in #Oromia’s North Shewa zone. The OLA claims that members of the ruling Prosperity Party (PP) orchestrated the abduction, accusing “local party cadres, spies, and security forces.”
The incident, which occurred on 03 July, 2024, saw over 100 students kidnapped near #Garba_Guracha while traveling from the #Amhara region to #Addis_Abeba. Despite government reports suggesting the release of 160 out of 167 students, families express ongoing fears for their children's safety.
Parents describe continued contact with the kidnappers, who demand ransom payments. One father reported a demand of one million birr for his daughter's release, while another parent, a farmer, lamented his inability to pay the ransom. A sister of one of the abducted students refuted media claims of their release, stating that her sibling remains in captivity.
#Ethiopia: Rising abductions for ransom threaten human security in conflict hit areas, #Oromia region
Following the reported abduction of over 100 students last Wednesday while traveling from #Debark University to #Addis_Abeba, the #US Embassy in Addis Abeba condemned the rise of abductions in the Oromia and #Amhara regions. "Abductions of civilians and students for financial gain must stop," the embassy said in a statement.
An article published in Addis Standard in October 2023 reported on the increasing incidents of kidnappings for ransom in Ethiopia's Oromia region. Multiple victims and officials have confirmed this trend, which occurs amid ongoing conflict between government forces and the Oromo Liberation Army (#OLA).
One account involves Gemechu Temesgen and his wife, Bethelem Mitiku (names changed for security). In June 2023, the couple was abducted near Lemen in South west Shewa zone while traveling from Hosanna. Gemechu reported, "The kidnappers demanded a ransom of one million birr, which our extended family couldn't arrange. Through a loan from an acquaintance, the ransom was paid." The couple endured 11 days of captivity, facing physical and psychological torment.
Experts attribute the rise in abductions to several factors, including limited economic opportunities and potential political motives. They recommend a multifaceted approach to address the issue, including efforts to resolve underlying conflicts, create economic opportunities, and enhance security measures.
