The European Union (EU) calls on Ethiopian government and
opposition to end peacefully through dialogue the ongoing conflicts in
Oromia and Amhara regions of the country, which has caused the death of
dozens of citizens, among others.
“The recent unrest in the Oromia and Amhara regions of Ethiopia has
caused a considerable number of casualties and only a constructive
dialogue among all affected parties can lead to a peaceful and
sustainable resolution of such disputes. Working within the framework of
Ethiopia’s Constitution, all stakeholders need to continue such a
dialogue and refrain from recourse to violence and inflammatory
statements,” EU said in its press statement yesterday.
“The EU extends its condolences to the families and friends of the deceased. The reassurance of the consultation with the concerned communities is encouraging,”it said.
