]]> Addis Ababa (Kaab TV) – The Head of the Ethiopian ruling Prosperity Party’s Amhara region branch, Girma Yeshitila has been shot dead in Amhara region, the local media reported.

The specifics of the killing are yet to emerge however, Ethiopian Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed tweeted that the party official was killed by “violent extremists who believe that he [Girma] shouldn’t have a different idea from ours”.

The PM also stated that he was killed where he was born and grew up.

Girma, who had been the head of the office of the Amhara Prosperity Party until his death, served as an executive member of the ruling party.

Girma was at the center of the government’s controversial decision to abolish the regional special forces and “reorganize” them into national army, federal and regular police.

Mass protests erupted in the Amhara region in opposition to the decision to disband the regional forces.
