- In Ethiopia, the Parliament voted for an early end to a six-month state of emergency which was declared last November when rebel Tigrayan forces were threatening to march to the capital.
- The lawmakers’ decision came after cabinet proposals last month about cutting short the state of emergency in light of improving security conditions in the country.
- Meanwhile, it was not immediately clear whether the state of emergency would be lifted directly following parliament’s vote.
- The state of emergency gave the government power to detain citizens without charge and search homes without a warrant. Thousands of Tigrayan civilians were rounded up and held in prisons and warehouses.
