The capital, Addis Ababa, has been quiet but tense on Saturday.
Witnesses say government security forces are patrolling the streets of the city, where at least 42 people have been killed since Tuesday. Some residents have been seen venturing out of their homes, but many have expressed concern the violence could flare up again.
