At least 10 people have been killed and 20 wounded after security forces fired on demonstrators during violent protests in the town of Ambo, in the Oromia region. The latest protest  - which follows on more than a year of deadly protests in the region between November 2015 and December 2016 - was triggered by shortage of sugar.
