Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the representatives from GAC for providing us this briefing.

As I understand it, over the past 48 hours, the state of emergency has been lifted in Ethiopia. Could you provide us with some information as to what that was in response to? What were the initiatives that were under way in encouraging the Ethiopian government to do so? How significant a step could that be?
