Addis Ababa, Ethiopia–Ethiopia’s parliament has approved a controversial bill that allows Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed to set up a commission to resolve conflicts triggered by identity and border disputes between regional administrations.
The bill which was fiercely resisted by some members of the parliament, who declared it unconstitutional, was eventually approved with a majority vote.
The new Identity and Boundary Issues Commission will be tasked with studying the causes of such conflicts and providing solutions to lawmakers.
