<p>The Government is concerned about the violence and resultant displacement of people
in a number of regions of Ethiopia. We are further concerned by the conditions of
recent returns, including from Gedeo to Guji zones. Conflict and displacement present
a real risk to the welcome reforms that Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed continues to institute.</p><p>I
raised our concerns and offered assistance in my visits of October 2018 and March
2019. Our Ambassador and senior officials have raised concerns with the Deputy Prime
Minister and the Minister of Peace. DFID is currently supporting humanitarian agencies
to respond to the needs of IDPs and host communities affected by this crisis, including
through support to Ethiopia's humanitarian pooled fund.</p>
