Applying the Uzbekistan solution to popular unrest, it seems.

ADDIS ABABA -- In the second day of violent unrest in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia, an estimated 100 people, and perhaps as many as 200, were killed by police and army forces battling rock-throwing demonstrators, most of them young people in their teens or early twenties.

The seems little hope that the violence will subside in the near future.

At least two people, and perhaps as many as 10, were killed in Magananya, just a few hundred meters from the Israeli embassy and the compound run by the Falashmura community waiting to immigrate to Israel.

Eyewitnesses reported that army forces shot at demonstrators as they were running away and entered houses were they had taken refuge. On at least one occasion, troops shot protesters in the street who had been taken into custody.
