Saalaa Abbaa Boollee, a herdsman living near the border of East Showa with Afar Region, was shot dead by Argobba tribespeople and more than 100 of his cattle were stolen. In its 26 December report of the killing, ONM wrote that the Argobba people, armed and supplied by the Prosperity Party government, had traditionally lived in harmony with their Oromo neighbours in Fantale district. But they were now killing and looting property from Oromo who raised cattle, sheep and camels near the border in villages such as Ilaalaa, Haroo Qarsaa and Haroo Hoobaa.
