Two killed in clashes as mourners struggle to get into Ethiopian singer's funeral

Two people were killed on Thursday as Ethiopian security forces scuffled with mourners trying to attend the stadium funeral of a singer whose shooting this week sparked protests in which more than 80 people died, hospital officials said. Haacaaluu Hundeessaa, 36, a member of the Oromo, Ethiopia's largest ethnic group, was shot dead in Addis Ababa on Monday by unknown gunmen. Haacaaluu's songs were a soundtrack to a generation of Oromo protesters whose three years of anti-government demonstrations finally forced the resignation of the prime minister in 2018 and his replacement by Abiy Ahmed, whose father is Oromo.
