Police reportedly shot and killed two people and wounded eight others Thursday as they tried to quell a fourth day of protests against Ethiopia's disputed parliamentary elections. The renewed violence came a day after police shot dead at least 23 people and wounded dozens more, according to doctors. Thursday's victims were shot at Old Airport, a wealthy neighborhood where many foreign expatriates live, according to doctors at the Black Lion and Zewditu hospitals. Sporadic gunfire was heard near the French and Dutch embassies. Elsewhere in Addis Ababa, stone-throwing protesters had earlier defied a heavy military presence. Businesses were closed and taxis were off the streets, the Associated Press reported.
