The Human Rights Watch said on Tuesday that Ethiopian regime will use the state of emergency to intensify its military crackdown on protesters.
“Now, under the state of emergency – declared on state television – the army will be deployed country-wide. Intensifying the military’s role in responding to the protests is sure to fuel the escalating anger in Oromia,” the Horn of Africa senior researcher with HRW, Felix Horne said.
On October 9, the Ethiopian government declared a nationwide six-month state of emergency. It has been a bloody year for Ethiopia, and the past few weeks have been no different, Horne said in his dispatch.
