Killing by government forces in Jeldu, West Shewa (4 Apr 2026)

Baqqalaa Dhaabaa Badhiyee, an 80 year old Saba Oromo farmer and father of eight in Osolee village, Jaldu district, was murdered by government soldiers at his farm in the early morning of 4 April (ONM). His family were prevented from collecting his body. Another local militia member, named Dhaabaa, originally from Biyo Wagidi village, was killed in Incinni town on 17 April, according to ONM. Apparently, a dispute between militia members over who should go on duty led to a shoot-out during which he was shot in the head and killed.
