During Eid celebrations, Ethiopian Muslims were tear-gassed.

Tear gas was shot by security officers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital, on hundreds of Muslims who had congregated to mark the conclusion of Ramadan.

When the violence broke out, tens of thousands of people were attending Eid prayers in the city's largest stadium. There have been no casualties reported.

After 20 Muslims were killed while attending a funeral last week in the north, tensions between Muslims and Christians have been rising in many parts of the country.

Following the incident in Gondar, there have been demonstrations and retaliatory attacks around Ethiopia, including the burning of at least three churches.

Tensions are likely to rise as a result of Monday's violence in the capital. Images of individuals fleeing tear gas and mothers urgently searching for their children amid the pandemonium have gone viral on social media.

The violence was blamed on "a few individuals" by Addis Ababa police, who said the property had been damaged. They promised to look into the matter thoroughly.

A civil war in northern Tigray and ethnic violence in many parts of the country have already divided the country.
