Fresh anti-government demonstrations have erupted in several towns in Ethiopia a day after dozens of people died during a protest in the Oromia region.
The government has declared three days of mourning following the deaths that occurred during a religious festival in the largest region in the country.

Towns across the Oromia region have seen protests today with people chanting anti-government slogans.
Witnesses say police used tear gas to disperse the protesters, who were angry over the way security forces dealt with the crowds attending an annual Oromia festival on Sunday.
The government says the death toll now stands at 55, but opposition activists say the number is much higher.
The country’s prime minister has vowed to bring to justice those responsible for the deaths.
Rights groups say hundreds of people have died in the country since anti government protests begun last November.
