The protests follow the decision by the Addis Ababa administration to sell units of houses.

Protesters say the government did not pay enough compensation to local people for the land the houses are built on.

The controversy over the ownership of the land started five years ago when the local authority unveiled a master plan aimed at expanding the city.

A journalist with the BBC Afaan Oromoo website has tweeted a video of the latest protest in Aweday:
