At least 50 people killed' after teargas and warning shots fired by police


Police fired teargas and warning shots at anti-government protesters during a religious festival, triggering a stampede that killed 'at least 50 people'.

Thousands of people had gathered for an annual celebration of thanksgiving in Ethiopia's Oromiya region when some began chanting and waving a rebel flag.
When police fired teargas and guns into the air, crowds fled and created a stampede, with some people plunging into a deep ditch.
Witnesses said they saw people dragging out a dozen or more victims, showing no obvious sign of life.
