ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) - Each day hundreds of women gather at the Red Cross office in the Ethiopian capital, some holding photos or identification cards of missing husbands and sons.
Thousands of Ethiopians, most of them men, were detained during political violence this month, in which police clashed with demonstrators and at least 46 people died. Authorities freed 4,138 people last week, but many remain unaccounted for and are believed still in custody.
Zinash Kebede, pain etched into her face, was searching for her younger brother, Sisay, seized by police in a late-night raid in the first days of the violence that began Nov. 1 amid protests over disputed May elections. He has not been heard from.
