By ELIAS MESERET, Associated PressADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Ethiopian security forces mistakenly killed nine civilians in Moyale, located on the country's southern border with Kenya, according to a command post established to oversee Ethiopia's state of emergency. Five members of Ethiopia's National Defense Forces involved in the killings have been disarmed and are under investigation, the command post stated. Ethiopia's Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn recently resigned amid the protests and a new leader is expected to be inaugurated in the coming days. The new chair will automatically become the next prime minister of Ethiopia. Officials recently released several high- profile opposition figures and journalists after the outgoing Prime Minister pledged to open up the political space in the country.
