Ethiopia: About 300 killed in Oromo-Somali fighting
Around 300 people are reportedly killed in a clash between Oromo and Somali clans in Moyale town. Thousands of people have also fled their homes due to the fighting in the Kenya-Ethiopia border.
Violent clashes often occur between the Borana Oromo and Garre Somali, mostly over territorial disagreements and over scarce resources for the two pastoralist communities. The recent drought in southern Ethiopia has escalated the conflict over water wells.
