Ethiopia cracks down on gay sex in hotels, other venues

Security forces in Ethiopia are cracking down on hotels, bars and restaurants in the capital Addis Ababa. According to the authorities, this is where gay sexual activity is alleged to take place.  Reuters reports that several African countries that criminalise homosexuality have enforced the law more harshly in recent years, with many governments proposing stricter laws and sentences, including most recently in Ghana and Uganda.
