Police in a town in Ethiopia’s restive Oromiya region fired
live rounds on Thursday to disperse demonstrators who had blocked roads.
The incident in Ambo some 130 kilometres (80 miles) west of
the capital Addis Ababa is the latest bout of unrest to plague a province that
was shaken by unrest for months in 2015 and 2016.
Residents in the area said demonstrators
blocked the town’s main road to protest sugar shortages, sparking clashes with
police.
