A group of armed men attacked a village in Ethiopia's border region on Saturday, November 14, killing eight people. The attack occurred early in the morning while residents were asleep. Local leaders and a member of parliament condemned the violence, calling for an investigation.
The victims were identified as civilians, with no indication of military involvement. The attack took place in a remote area near the border with Kenya, where tensions have occasionally flared. Authorities have not yet released details on the perpetrators or the motive behind the attack.
The incident follows a series of clashes in the region, which have been linked to disputes over land and resources. Local elders and community leaders expressed shock at the level of violence, emphasizing the need for peace and security. The Ethiopian government has not commented publicly on the attack, but officials have previously warned of the risks of instability in border areas.
