Five people suspected of burning down four mosques in Ethiopia's Amhara region arrested on Saturday - Getnet Yirsaw, spokesman for Ethiopia's Amhara state
In this June 10, 2005 file photo, members of the Ethiopian army patrol the streets of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
"Five people who are suspected of leading and organising the attacks have now been arrested," Getnet Yirsaw, the Amhara state spokesman, said in a Facebook post. The president of Amhara's regional Islamic council said the attack in Motta was unexpected and that businesses owned by Muslims had also been burnt and vandalised.
But the reforms have also stoked ethnic and religious tensions as regional strongmen have been emboldened to compete over influence and resources.
