Ethiopia's government says it has lifted a state of emergency imposed in October after hundreds of people were killed in anti-government protests.
Lawmakers in the East African country have voted to end the emergency law that restricted a number of rights and led to the arrests of more than 21,000 people.
More than 600 people had been killed in the unrest. Defense Minister Siraj Fegessa said the government was able to deal with armed terrorists, anti- peace elements and troublemakers.
