The Ethiopian government has arrested 103 individuals relating to recent conflict along the border of Somali and Oromia regional states, an official said on Saturday.
Speaking to journalists, Negeri Lencho, Minister of Ethiopia Government Communication Affairs Office (GCAO), said 98 suspects from Oromia regional state and five suspects from Somali regional state are under custody.
He further said the situation along the 1,500 km long common border of the two regional states has largely stabilized despite isolated flare-ups.
Heavy clashes along the Oromia-Somali boundary in September spilled into ethnic violence which left scores of people dead and tens of thousands displaced.
