Ethiopian police fire tear gas at protesters during Eid celebrations
Muslims marking the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan were hit with tear gas in the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa on Monday as protesters clashed with police.
Hundreds of thousands had gathered to celebrate the Eid al-Fitr holiday which marks the end of a month of fasting.
However, during the prayers, some attendees began protesting the killing of at least 12 Muslims in a majority Christian city of Gondar last week.
Eyewitnesses said that several people were arrested in the clash. Images on social media showed the historic Meskel Square deserted after the incident.
