The Ethiopian government says 103 people have so far been arrested in connection with deadly regional conflict in the eastern part of the country.
The state-affiliated FBC quoted information minister Negeri Lencho as confirming the arrests which comprised 98 people from the Oromia regional state and 5 others from the Ethiopian Somali regional state.
Lencho added that there was a hunt for 24 other suspects believed to be complicit on the Somali side of the conflict. Earlier reports had indicated that the Somali regional state was hesitating in apprehending suspects.
The minister emphasized that the government was working to rehabilitate thousands that were displaced by the recent conflict. The government is on record to have said it was seeking a conclusive solution (security, communal) on the matter by engaging major stakeholders.
