Ethiopia’s parliament on Tuesday voted for an early end to a six-month state of emergency, effective immediately, adding to signs that a bloody conflict between the government and rebellious Tigrayan forces could be easing.

Parliament's decision to lift the state of emergency came three weeks after cabinet approval.

The state of emergency gave the government power to detain citizens without charge and search homes without a warrant.Ethiopia imposed the order in November after Tigrayan forces invaded two other regions, threatening the capital. It called for the immediate release of all those arrested or detained without charge under the state of emergency.

But Desalegn Chanie, of the opposition National Movement of Amhara party, who voted against, said lifting it now “in order to please the diplomatic community without ensuring the safety of fellow citizens” was premature.Ethiopia’s state-appointed rights commission said some human rights were not being upheld after the order was imposed.
