At least 52 killed in Ethiopia protests over singer’s death

At least 50 people were killed in Ethiopia’s Oromiya region in demonstrations following the deadly shooting of a popular singer, a regional spokesman announced on Wednesday.

Musician Haacaaluu Hundeessaa was shot dead on Monday night in what police stated was a targeted killing.

Rallies resounding anger at the killing of a popular figure and a sense of political marginalisation broke out the next morning in the capital and other towns and cities in the surrounding Oromiya region.

The dead included protesters and members of the security forces, spokesman Getachew Balcha said. Some businesses had also been set on fire.
