Ethiopian police kill opposition politician

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Police shot and killed an opposition politician, prompting the arrest of six officers, a government spokesman said Monday, as the government rejected an opposition offer to renew a peace deal.
The government said the peace deal would not work unless the opposition took further steps to end political violence that has left 37 dead.
Ethiopia's ruling party, which has pledged itself to democratic reform but shown authoritarian tendencies, claimed victory in last month's elections based on provisional results later disputed by the opposition.
