Information on whether Somalis are at risk on the basis of their ethnicity in Ethiopia is scarse among the sources consulted by the DIRB. For information on the situation of the Somalis in Ethiopia, please refer to the attached articles.
This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
