NOVEMBER 23, 2017

It has been reported that there are very high tensions in Moyale, between the Oromo and indigenous Somali people.

According to information received from Moyale, the Oromo people have been engaging in road blocks and robbing all non-Oromo people of Moyale for a while now. So far, over 5 Somali people have lost their motorcycles to the Oromo gangs/robbers.

On November 23, 2017 the Oromo gangsters were intercepted by the Somali youth before they caused any damage to Somali owned properties. A fist fight ensued thereafter and in the process 3 Somali youths were seriously injured from gunshots. The gunshots are believed to have been shot by Oromos within the Ethiopian armed forces.

 We will let you know as soon as more information becomes available.
