HRW’s 2026 Ethiopia chapter discusses federal forces, Fano, the Oromo Liberation Army and Eritrean troops in accounts of different places and events during 2025. These are distinct actors and contexts. HRW [1] ↗
Ask three questions of each passage: who is making the allegation, what time and place does it cover, and what evidence is linked? A finding about one incident should not silently become a claim about an entire population.
Keep dates attached to evidence. This is a reading guide to a historical reporting period, not a live security assessment. Follow the original report for details and limitations.
