FEARS OF ETHNIC PROFILING STALK CONFLICT: IF NO PROFILE WHO SHOOT OR MACHETE, WHO NOT?

 Without ethnic profiling in fricking Ethiopia, how can folks on the ground tell their friends from their fricking enemies.

Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has emphasised that the conflict in the northern Tigray region is against a "criminal clique" within the dominant party there, the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF), but reports from elsewhere in the country suggest there is an ethnic dimension to the crisis.

Tigrayans make up around 6% of the Ethiopia's more than 110 million people and many live outside their regional state.

The government has denied that there has been ethnic profiling and said any action carried out against individuals was for justified security reasons.

Some in the security forces have told the BBC that they have been disarmed and ordered to stay at home.
