I got this info from the Institute of Geophysics Space Science and Astronomy, Addis Ababa University

An earthquake of magnitude 5.5 ML occurred around 9.49°N and 39.97°E in the Ankober area on September 19, 2009 at 17(hh):56(mm): 6.3(ss.s) GMT. This is 08:56:06.3 PM local time. This earthquake was felt in some places in Addis Ababa and is probably the first relatively stronger shake to occur close to our capital in recent times.

.... really?
