Scattered gunfire and rioting continue in Ethiopia
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.
Ethiopian special forces, driving six US-built Humvees, patrolled the capital this morning with heavy machine guns and sniper rifles. Opposition supporters went from shop to shop, ordering merchants to shut down and go home.
