Pursuant to rule 14 of the Tribunal Procedure (Upper Tribunal) Rules 2008, the appellant is granted anonymity.
No-one shall publish or reveal any information, including the name or address of the appellant, likely to lead members of the public to identify the appellant. Failure to comply with this order could amount to a contempt of court .
            The appellant has been granted permission to appeal from the decision of First-tier Tribunal Judge Hussain promulgated on 19 August 2023 ("the Decision"). By the Decision, Judge Hussain dismissed the appellant's appeal against the decision of the respondent that he did not qualify for recognition as a refugee on the grounds of his political opinion or on the grounds of his ethnicity.
            In the refusal decision dated 8 September 2022, the respondent accepted that he was of Oromo ethnicity; that he was a supporter of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) and that he had been involved with the OLF to a low level whilst in Ethiopia. But since leaving Ethiopia in 2016, he had not been involved with the OLF at all.
            It was not accepted that he would have problems in Ethiopia due to his previous support of the OLF. Due to the inconsistencies in his account, and especially his failure to mention his support for the OLF and his claimed subsequent arrest and beating in his screening interview, it was not accepted that he would have problems in Ethiopia as a result of supporting the OLF.
