Over one-fourth of displaced individuals, due to the recent inter-regional disputes between the Oromia and Ethiopian Somali regional states, returned to their home, according to a recent release of the government.
National Disaster Risk Management Commission (NDRMC) reported that 300,000 internally displaced people returned to their homes. Still, 856,941 people are left displaced, according to the report. And the Commission is providing them with humanitarian assistance in collaboration with the two regional governments, according to Mitiku Kassa, commissioner of NDRMC.
