Three people had died in the clashes between Muslim worshippers and Ethiopian security forces after several mosques have been destroyed on the outskirts of Addis Ababa. Three people were killed on Friday when police clashed with worshippers outside Addis Ababa's largest mosque, Ethiopian security forces said. Police fired teargas at worshippers outside the Grand Anwar Mosque, in the latest clashes fuelled by the destruction of mosques in the outskirts of the Ethiopian capital. Ahead of this week's Friday prayers, AFP journalists saw police in riot gear deployed outside the mosque. The urban planning project, known as Sheger City, involves the fusion of several municipalities in the Oromia region on the outskirts of the capital.
