Britain spends millions on Ethiopian 'special police' linked to abuses

Britain is spending millions of pounds from its foreign aid budget on training Ethiopian paramilitaries that have been accused of human rights abuses including summary killings, rape and torture.

A government security force known as the “special police” operating in the eastern Ogaden region will be supported as part of a UK-funded “peace and development programme” lasting five years and costing up to £15 million. http://www.ethiomedia.com/assert/5049.html
