ከአሩሲና ከወለጋ በቀጥታ EMS Eletawi reports live from Arsi and Wollega.
Background: In late October 2026 residents and church sources told BBC Amharic and DW Amharic of mass killings in Arsi's Shirka and Merti districts (the Ethiopian Orthodox Church put the Arsi toll at least at 60 faithful across two attacks); relatives who went to bury Shirka victims later said some mourners were arrested, accounts Mereja Media could not independently confirm. In East Wollega, the Alliance for Survival coalition has claimed that more than 80,000 Amharas are scattered in forests without aid and has accused state structures of a role in killings and displacement — figures and accusations the federal government has not answered directly, while Oromia officials have blamed other armed groups for Arsi violence. EMS's title is a live report from those two areas; specific on-air claims are not restated here.
