Gunmen attacked the village of Bekoji in the western Benishangul-Gumuz region of Ethiopia on Wednesday, killing more than 100 people, Reuters reports, citing the state-run Ethiopian Human Rights Commission.
Why it matters: It’s the latest massacre in Ethiopia as ethnic tensions escalate over land and other resources. The violence has forced hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes.
What they’re saying: A senior security official in the region said authorities were aware of the attack in Benishangul-Gumuz and were verifying the identities of the attackers and the victims, according to Reuters.
The big picture: Ethiopia has faced consistent outbreaks of deadly violence since Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed was appointed in 2018.

In the northern region of Tigray, Ethiopias military have been fighting the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF), a renegade political faction.
