Residents of the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa stayed largely at home amid a fifth day of renewed protest over the results of May elections the opposition calls fraudulent. There were reports of more scattered gunfire and rioting in parts of the capital.

Uneasy calm returned to the Ethiopian capital today, a day after riot police across Addis Ababa fired guns to quell a second day of protests against the country’s disputed parliamentary elections.

Clashes between police and protesters erupted in gunfire and grenade explosions today, with police killing at least 33 people during a second day of renewed demonstrations against Ethiopia’s disputed elections, a rights group said.
