UN Agencies and Opposition Parties Express Concern Over Security in Ethiopia

United Nations agencies and various opposition political parties have expressed deep concern regarding the deteriorating security situation, civilian casualties, and rising displacement across several regions in Ethiopia. The reports highlight that thousands of citizens have been forced to flee to neighboring countries, including Kenya, due to ongoing regional violence. These organizations are calling on the government to take immediate action to protect civilians, conduct independent investigations into reported human rights violations, and ensure accountability. Political entities, including the Ethiopian Citizens for Social Justice (EZEMA), have condemned the violence, stating that the targeting of civilians is unacceptable. The ongoing instability continues to pose significant challenges to national peace and security, prompting calls for urgent humanitarian and political intervention.
