Ethiopia: Gunmen kill at least 32 people in Oromia state
Gunmen have killed at least 32 people and set fire to homes in a "horrendous" attack in western Ethiopia, officials say.
Local authorities said the rebel Oromo Liberation Army (OLA) was to blame for the attack in Oromia state.
Residents said dozens were rounded up and killed and livestock was stolen.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed suggested the attacks may have been identity-based. Ethnic violence has increased since he took office in April 2018.
