Ethiopia says suspects confess to killing singer Hachalu Hundessa

Members of the Oromo community

What you need to know:

  • Hachalu Hundessa became a symbol of the Oromo struggle during years of anti-government protests that swept Abiy to power in 2018.
  • Though Abiy is Ethiopia's first Oromo head of state, Oromo nationalists accuse him of insufficiently championing their interests since taking office, a complaint echoed by many protesters last week.

Addis Ababa,

Ethiopia's attorney general said Friday that two men had confessed to killing a popular singer from the Oromo ethnic group as part of a plot to topple Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government.
