The spectre haunting Ethiopia: Unbridled torture, impunity in Somali region
The Ethiopian-Somalis have endured massive human-rights abuses and torture under the tyrannical rule of the thug Abdi Mohamoud Omar, aka Abdi Illey, the unelected president of the region, who was forced to resign this past week over allegations of torture and human rights abuses.

This past week, Ethiopian defence forces clashed with the notorious paramilitary Liyu police in the Somali region of Ethiopia.
The fighting led to the burning of churches and the looting and destruction of the businesses to the non-Somali communities in Jigjiga, the seat of the Somali regional government, according to AP.
