200 killed in Ethiopian ethnic feud

About 200 people have been killed in one of Ethiopia's worst outbreaks of communal violence.
A government official said the killings took place in the small village of Dima, more than 500 miles west of the capital, Addis Ababa.

"On 30th January, in the Dima district of Gambella bordering the Sudan, 196 people were killed, of whom 172 were traditional miners," the federal affairs ministry said. It said the atrocity was conducted by over 200 armed men claiming to be leaders of the Anyua ethnic people.

1. Ethiopian ethnic food

I briefly caught the title of this post on the front page and my first thought was "I haven't had Ethiopian takeout in a while," followed by "maybe I will get some tonight."

Am I in hell right now?
