The Ethiopian federal government on Friday declared a state of emergency in the Amhara region amid ongoing clashes between the military and local militiamen.

The decision was made by the Ethiopian Council of Ministers Friday, at the formal request of the Amhara regional government administration Thursday calling on the federal government to "take appropriate measures" in response to the expanding clashes.

The Council of Ministers said the armed illegal activities in the Amhara region have become impossible to control through the regular law enforcement system. It said the armed activities have greatly disrupted the overall economic and social activities of the residents of the region and threatened the constitutional order.

In a letter addressed to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, Amhara regional president Yilkal Kefale on Thursday said the unrest was causing significant human, social and economic damage.
