Witnesses Say at Least 200 Killed in Ethiopian Massacre
-------------------------------------------------------

In news from Ethiopia, witnesses say at least 200 civilians were killed
in a massacre Saturday in the western region of Oromia. Some witnesses
put the death toll at over 320. Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed
condemned what he called "horrific attacks." One survivor said members
of the Oromo Liberation Army carried out the attack targeting ethnic
Amharas, who are a minority in the region. However, members of the OLA
blamed government forces for carrying out the massacre.
