The demonstrations were crushed but anger remains in Bahir Dar, capital of Ethiopia's northern Amhara region, where a fortnight ago security forces killed at least 30 protesters, according to a human rights group. "I would say at least 50 people!" said Getachew, a protester who saw bodies arrive at the city hospital on August 7. Dressed in black, Getachew is mourning his younger brother Abebe, 28, who he says was shot twice –- once in the back of the head and once in his side -– as Ethiopian security broke up the protests with gunfire and teargas.
