More Than 80 Reported Killed This Week in Ethiopia Unrest

Associated Press

   ADDIS ABABA, ETHIOPIA - More than 80 people have been killed in unrest
   in Ethiopia after a popular singer was shot dead this week, the
   state-run Ethiopian Broadcasting Corporation says. He was being buried
   Thursday amid tight security.

   The deaths reported Wednesday, citing police in the Oromia region,
   follow the killing of Hachalu Hundessa on Monday. He had been a
   prominent voice in anti-government protests that led to a change in
   leadership in 2018. Angry protests, including three bomb blasts,
   followed his death in the capital, Addis Ababa.
