Maporomoko hayo yalitokea saa nne asubuhi majira ya huko kufuatia mvua kubwa katika eneo lenye milima la jimbo la kusini mwa Ethiopia, Dagmawi alisema. Wanawake na watoto ni miongoni mwa waliofariki, alisema, akiongeza kuwa shughuli za kuwatafuta manusura “zimekuwa zikiendelea”. Picha zilizosambazwa kwenye mtandao wa Facebook na chombo cha habari kinachoshirikiana na serikali, Fana Broadcasting Corporate zilionyesha mamia ya watu karibu na eneo la tukio lililoharibika lenye udongo mwekundu ulioporomoka. Eneo la Gofa lipo umbali wa kilomita 450 kutoka mji mkuu Addis Ababa, mwendo wa masaa 10 kwa kutumia gari. Jimbo hilo la kusini mwa Ethiopia limeathiriwa na mvua za muda mfupi za msimu kati ya mwezi Aprili na mapema mwezi Mei ambazo zimesababisha mafuriko na watu wengi kuhama makazi yao, kulingana na shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la kutoa misaada ya dharura ya kibinadamu (OCHA). - AFP #voa #voaswahili #ethiopia #janga #maporomoko #matope #vifo #uokoaji
