Ethiopia's House of People's Representatives is set to meet on Tuesday to debate and decide on whether to lift a nationwide state of emergency imposed for six months.
Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed’s government has called parliamentarians for an emergency meeting, recalling them back from recess that was meant to last until end of February, says the Ethiopian Insider, a local news outlet.
