Addis Ababa – Four people, including one police officer, were killed in Ethiopia on Sunday as protesters attacked a police station where Muslim demonstrators were being held, an official said on Tuesday.
“One police officer was killed while two police officers sustained injuries, and three members of the [protester’s] group were killed during the violence,” government spokesperson Shimeles Kemal told AFP.
The attack occurred on Sunday in Gerba in the Amhara region, after demonstrators gathered to protest what they call undemocratic elections of the Supreme Council on Islamic Affairs, Ethiopia’s highest Muslim representative body.
