Ethiopia Declares State Of Emergency
Ethiopia has declared a state of emergency a day after Hailemariam Desalegn, the country's prime minister, abruptly resigned.
The measure was announced on Friday by the Council of Ministers, the Ethiopian government's cabinet, according to state broadcaster EBC.
Local media said the measure is effective as of Friday, but it was not immediately clear how long it would last.
Quoting an unnamed source "close to the government", the Addis Standard newspaper reported that the Council was debating whether to make the measure span three or six months.
