Persecution of Ethnic Amharas Will Harm Ethiopia's Reform Agenda

The targeted eviction of ethnic Amharas in the regional states of Benishangul Gumuz and Oromia is especially worrying. Thousands of Amharas have been evicted, killed and tortured. Although cases of evictions have recently increased, the problem started in 2012 when thousands of Amharas were evicted from the Southern Region, writes Yohannes Gedamu for The Conversation Africa.
