Why a teacher was killed execution-style in Ethiopia
The shooting dead of Kitilaa Guddata has left his family in shock.
The 32-year-old high school teacher was among the latest casualties in the conflict between government forces and rebels in Ethiopia s Oromia region.
The violence centres around demands by an insurgent group for the liberation of Oromia - a vast swathe of land that is home to Ethiopia s largest ethnic group, the Oromo - and the subsequent security crackdown.
It has led to civilians being caught in the crossfire - including Mr Kitilaa. His family allege that he was killed after about 10 police officers took him from his home in Sekela town on the night of 19 November.

News Analysis: Rights Commission recommends several changes to improve draft Criminal Procedure Code
By Siyanne Mekonnen
Addis Abeba, January 14/2021 – The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) said that the newly drafted Criminal Procedure Code and Evidence Law presented to the House of People’s representatives (HoPR) for discussion and approval needs to be improved in accordance with human rights laws and principles.
On September 26 last year, during its 90th regular meeting, the Council of Ministers has discussed and referred the draft Criminal Procedure Code, which was last enacted in 1961, to the HoPR. The major reconsideration in the existing Criminal Code is that it follows a unitary system of government and does not take the federal system and international and regional treaties that Ethiopia has since adopted as part of the country’s law into account.
