The Ethiopian authorities have pardoned at least 31 opposition members detained after post-election violence in 2005.
They were jailed along with 38 senior figures - who were freed last month - from the opposition Coalition for Unity and Democracy (CUD).
The CUD accused the government of electoral fraud following the 2005 polls, which saw the opposition party claim its biggest ever gains.
Nearly 200 people were killed in the violence that erupted after the elections two years ago. (Photo from our archives) |

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States said on Friday it was considering putting Eritrea on its list of state sponsors of terrorism for allegedly funneling weapons to insurgents fighting the Ethiopian-backed government in Somalia.
Putting Eritrea on the list would impose sanctions on the Horn of Africa nation, including a ban on arms-related sales, prohibitions on some U.S. aid and U.S. opposition to International Monetary Fund and World Bank loans to Eritrea. The fragile interim Somali government, backed by troops from Eritrea's archrival Ethiopia, is fighting an Islamist insurgency in a conflict that has killed hundreds of people since December.
