FOURTEEN children were killed, and 67 others injured, when a rainstorm caused a stampede at an open-air amphitheatre in Addis Ababa. The tragedy occurred Monday at a remembrance ceremony in the Mega amphitheatre attended by thousands of schoolchildren to mark the second anniversary of Eritrea’s bombing of the Ayder school, in Mekele, 780 kilometres north of Addis Ababa. Of those who died, aged between six and 14, nine were female and several are in a serious condition.
