Addis Ababa, February 17, 2020 (FBC) –Organized by the Ministry of Peace, consultation on how to implement the firearm administration and control law is underway in Addis Ababa.
The consultative meeting brought together stakeholders through the country and development partners.
The revised law was approved by the House of People’s Representatives (HPR) last month.
During the meeting, it was noted that the need to own a firearm by the people is increasing due to threats posed by various reasons.
Moreover illegal weapon trafficking is increasing along the Ethiopian borders due to the instability in South Sudan and Somalia.
Accordingly, the consultation would help to gather information to address these challenges.
