Authorities in the western Ethiopian region of Gambella have imposed a night-time curfew after scores were killed in fresh violence. Sources in the regional capital, Gambella city, said businesses and offices were closed on Wednesday. The region, which borders South Sudan, has seen recurring violence in recent months. In May, at least seven were reportedly killed and more than a dozen wounded in clashes in Gambella city. Last year the city was raided by rebel fighters from neighbouring Oromia region with dozens killed.
