Due to security incidents between Somali and Oromo populations, nearly 100 000 people were reported displaced. More than half of them are now returning to their place of origin. Given the extent of heavy damage done to private properties and public infrastructures, cases of rape and torture and violent confrontations leading to casualties, assistance is required for both those who have temporarily moved to a safer location and those who have returned. This is the third time in a period of 12 months that similar confrontations cause massive displacement in the woredas of Qumbi and Meyu in East Haraghe.
