ADDIS ABABA: An insurgent group in Ethiopia’s most populous province carried out a string of attacks around last week’s election that killed multiple people, witnesses told AFP on Saturday. The government confirmed the attacks in a statement and blamed the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), a rebel group operating in the country’s most populous region of Oromia, but did not say how many were killed or wounded. The OLA, designated a “terrorist organization” by the government, had threatened to disrupt the parliamentary elections on June 1.
