Djibouti opposition groups were scheduled to meet today to decide what steps to take next after police allegedly fired on demonstrators yesterday, injuring at least two of them, an opposition leader said.

“The situation is very bad,” Ismail Guedi Hared, president of the Union for a Democratic Alternative, said by phone late yesterday. The police “used tear gas and they shot in every direction. I know two people are in hospital.”
