More than 50 civilians were killed in attacks in Ethiopia last month, a human rights body said Wednesday, barely two weeks after talks between the government and a rebel group from the country's most populous region ended without agreement.
The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) -- an independent state-affiliated body -- said that fighters from the Oromo Liberation Army (Ola) killed 17 people and burned down villages in Benishangul-Gumuz, which borders Oromia region.
