Newsday Essentials
Families in Ethiopia mourn relatives executed in Saudi Arabia, and a bishop calls for clemency for those still on death row. Plus, South Africa investigates the killing of an anti-immigration movement leader.
This week on Newsday Essentials, we hear from families in Ethiopia's Tigray region
grieving relatives executed in Saudi Arabia, including a father who recalls the final
conversation with his son before learning of his death. We also speak to Bishop
Tesfaselassie Medhin, who is urging international intervention to halt further
executions of Ethiopians on death row and describes the anguish of families waiting
for news of their loved ones. Finally, we head to South Africa, where the fatal
shooting of a leader of an anti-immigration movement has intensified debate over
migration, political tensions and public safety, as the movement responds to
allegations surrounding its activities and the threats facing its members.
