The Prosperity Party of Benishangul Gumuz has sacked senior members of the party, including the region’s speaker of the house and a member of the Central Committee. This action comes in response to the violence that claimed the lives of many civilians and caused destruction of properties in the region, as reported by Addis Standard.
According to the report, Ato Yishak Abdulkadir, the head of the region’s ruling party, stated that the attacks in Metekel were ethnically motivated, and some senior officials of the regional leadership were implicated. He acknowledged that their involvement had exacerbated the situation. Ato Yishak apologized to the people of the region and pledged to take corrective measures. The party has taken action against 100 regional leaders at various levels, with eight federal and regional leaders receiving serious warnings and 19 receiving cautionary warnings.
