Rights Council reports alarming civilian deaths and abductions across four regions

The Ethiopian Human Rights Council (EHRCO) has reported a significant increase in civilian deaths and abductions across four regions of Ethiopia. In its latest assessment, the council highlighted that deteriorating security conditions have left civilians increasingly vulnerable to violence and arbitrary detention. The report emphasizes that innocent people are being killed and kidnapped in conflict-affected areas, urging the government to prioritize the protection of citizens and uphold law and order. EHRCO is calling for accountability for the perpetrators of these abuses and demanding immediate intervention to restore stability. This development underscores the ongoing human rights challenges and the precarious security situation in several parts of the country.
