[Victoria33]

That’s something, a popular musician and singer, called a protest singer as well, was shot dead in Ethiopia… now, they are having serious unrest. At least, 8 people killed. I don’t think they caught or know who shot the singer dead who belongs to one of Ethiopia’s ethnic “minorities”… the Oromo.

Violence Erupts in Ethiopia After Popular Singer Is Killed

At least eight people were killed and 80 hurt in and around Addis Ababa when protests erupted after Haacaaluu Hundeessaa, a popular Ethiopian singer and musician, was killed.

Haacaaluu was shot dead, police said, in what Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed calls “an evil act.”

“This is an act committed and inspired by domestic and foreign enemies in order to destabilize our peace and to stop us from achieving things that we started,” he said.

Police are investigating his death.

Hachalu’s songs often focused on the rights of the country’s Oromo ethnic group and became anthems in a wave of protests that led to the downfall of the previous prime minister in 2018.

The 34-year-old was attacked on Monday evening when he was driving.

Shot dead while driving or however the facts work out to be.
