Résumé

The US State Department Country Report for human rights practices in Ethiopia covering 1997 conveys the impression that the Ethiopian government is committed to improving human rights and the democratisation process in the country. Extra-judicial killing and disappearance are said to be "unconfirmed".  Those human rights violations which are conceded by the Ethiopian and US governments are blamed on local officials and the lack of a democratic culture and history of respect for human rights.  Where a degree of central planning is obvious, as in the shooting of three unarmed Oromo in Addis Ababa on 8th October, the government proclaims a deliberate crackdown on "terrorists. This paper will focus the effects of human rights violation in Ethiopia.
