Ethiopia Insight published on 19 June 2022 a commentary titled "Oromia Carnage Spreads to Gambela" by Ermias Tasfaye, Ethiopia Insight reporter, and Abel Tasfaye, teacher at private colleges in western Ethiopia.
The authors charge that the Oromo Liberation Army and Gambela Liberation Front killed hundreds of people in Gambela Region. The killings reflect Nuer and Anuak antagonism and an effort to defeat the ruling Prosperity Party. There were also attacks on towns in western Oromia.
