Ethiopian security forces have captured 20 Kalashnikov rifles and 53,921 light and heavy gun machine bullets in a sting operation, an Ethiopian official said on Wednesday.
The illegal weapons cache was captured during a joint sting operation carried out by the Ethiopia National Intelligence and Security Service and Police in Ethiopia’s northeastern Afar regional state.
Humed further said that, in recent days, his police commission intercepted several rounds of large weapons cache, which were smuggled to Ethiopia from neighbouring countries. Violent crimes are relatively rare in Ethiopia, but recent incidences of armed robberies in major cities and sporadic ethnic and religious unrest have led to a spike in demand of illicit arms ownership.
