Ethiopia protest: Ambo students killed in Oromia state

The government has said, at least nine students have died during days of protests in Ethipoia. There was a witness that told BBC that there were actually 47 students that were killed by security forces. This all started because of plans over expanding the capital into Oromia State, she said. The Ambo resident said that four students had been killed on Monday and another 43 in a huge security crackdown on Tuesday, after a huge demonstration including many non-students. Since then, the town's streets have been deserted, she said, with banks and shops closed and no transport.
