Ethiopia's state television reported Friday that four more people have been killed and 11 wounded as political protests spread from the capital to other parts of the country.
The latest clashes erupted in Bahar Dar, the country's second-largest city.

Police have killed at least 40 people since violent confrontations began Tuesday in Addis Ababa over elections in May that gave the ruling party control of nearly two-thirds of parliament.
A further 150 people were injured in the protests.
Opposition parties say the parliamentary vote was marred by fraud and intimidation.
