Aid Workers Killed In Ethiopia

The US aid charity, Catholic Relief Services, says two of its staff have been killed in the troubled Amhara region of north-central Ethiopia.

Report says Chuol Tongyik and Amare Kindeya were shot in their vehicle as they returned to the capital, Addis Ababa, from an assignment.

Meanwhile, recent days have seen unrest and massive anti-government protests in the Amhara region by people unhappy at an official order for the dissolution of regional Special Forces.

These Special Forces fought alongside federal troops in the recent Tigray war.

Protesters say the move would leave them exposed to attacks from neighbouring regions.
