Ethnic Strife in Ethiopia

The Washington Post published on 21 October 2017 an article titled "'They Started to Burn Our Houses': Ethnic Strife in Ethiopia Threatens a Key U.S. Ally" by Paul Schemm.

The article focuses on ethnic violence in Ethiopia between the Oromo and Somali ethnic groups, especially in areas where the two live side by side. The author says more than 100,000 Ethiopians have been displaced as a result of the strife.
