#Ethiopia: OLA outlines factual error in #Amnesty report; calls for independent investigation
The Oromo Liberation Army (#OLA) has rejected findings of a recent report by Amnesty International accusing its fighters of gang rape and sexual slavery against women in #western_Oromia, alleging that the report contains “serious methodological flaws and factual errors,” and calling for an independent investigation into abuses committed in the region.
In a press release issued on 06 March, the OLA said that while it condemns all forms of gender-based violence and supports efforts to document abuses against civilians, Amnesty’s report titled “No One Came to My Rescue” suffers from investigative shortcomings & fails to conclusively identify the perpetrators of the crimes described.

Dear Members,
You would observe that NIDO Russia has not taken part in disseminating any news on amnesty. Observant people have called privately to inquire and we have guided them as usual. Some have taken matters into their hands and are suffering the consequences, not one, not two. Please before you rush, it may be useful to contact executives in the organisations that you belong.

A word is enough for the wise.
Have a beautiful day ahead!

In a new briefing titled “No One Came to My Rescue: Gang Rape, Sexual Slavery, and Mass Displacement of Women in Oromia, Ethiopia,” the rights group said it documented 10 cases of sexual violence in the #Sayo and #Anfillo districts of #Kellem_Wallaga zone, areas it described as strongholds of the OLA.
Amnesty said that the conflict between the OLA and Ethiopian government forces — including the #ENDF, Oromia #Special_Police, Oromia regional police, and local militias — meets the threshold of a non-international armed conflict under .....
