The statue of a former Ethiopian leader in a park in Wimbledon has been destroyed


The bust of Halie Selassie was attacked on Tuesday evening.

Ethiopia is currently in a state of unrest, after a popular singer was shot dead earlier this week.

Hacalu Hundessa’s songs were about the rights of the Oromo ethnic group, and he had been heavily critical of the government.

Statues of Selassie have been torn down in the African country as well.
