Bunge la Ethiopia limepiga kura ya kusitishwa mapema hali ya hatari ya miezi sita, hatua ambayo ni ishara kwamba mzozo wa umwagaji damu kati ya serikali na vikosi vya waasi wa Tigray unaweza kupungua. Uamuzi wa Bunge la Ethiopia utaanza kutekelezwa mara moja. Ethiopia ilitangaza hali ya hatari mwezi Novemba mwaka jana baada ya vikosi vya wapiganaji wa Tigray kuvamia maeneo zaidi ya Ethiopia na kutishia mji mkuu wa nchi hiyo, Addis Ababa.

Hata hivyyo jeshi la serikali mwezi Disemba mwaka jana liliwarudisha nyuma wapiganaji wa Tigray, ingawa mapigano yanaendelea katika eneo la Afar, na Tigray - ambako mamilioni ya raia wanaotegemea msaada - wamesalia bila ya msaada wa chakula tangu katikati ya mwezi Disemba.

Juhudi za kusitisha vita katika taifa hilo la pili kwa ukubwa barani Afrika kwa kiasi kikubwa zimekumbwa na mkwamo, na wanadiplomasia wanaopatanisha kati ya pande hizo mbili wana matumaini finyu ya kupatikana maendeleo baada ya tangazo la kuondolewa hali ya hatari.

Ethiopian parliament lifts state of emergency

Ethiopia's Parliament on Tuesday approved the lifting of a state of emergency imposed last year, signalling further freedoms for the public, including movement of people.    

The House of People's Representatives, the Lower House of the Ethiopian Federal Parliamentary Assembly, approved a proposal to lift the state of emergency following their recall from recess.     

The state of emergency had allowed the government wide-ranging powers meant to respond to the then expanding surge of the Tigray People’s Liberation Front.
