“I was begging them, please don’t do this, he’s just a kid,” but the mob took him away anyway. “I don’t know whether he’s alive or dead,” Askale said in an interview at a youth centre in the capital Addis Ababa that is her new, temporary home. On Monday, protesters angered by the killings blocked roads in Addis Ababa in demonstrations that left a further five people dead. She fled to the home of an Oromo neighbour who stood between the mob and her until they left. “I don’t know why they did this.”To the Ethiopian government, she has one request: to know where the bodies of those killed have been buried.
