(Jigjiga) 26 August 2018 – The Parliament of the Somali regional state in Ethiopia is set to today to debate on the new president’s proposal to change the name and the flag of the region.

Sunday’s unextraordinary session comes days after the region’s new acting Presidential, Mustafa Mohamed Omar has unveiled plans to review both the flag and the name.

On the other hand, Ethiopian Prime Minister, Abiy Ahmed, speaking at a press conference underlined that an action would be taken against former state officials for committing human rights abuses.

Those will be held accountable include former Somali regional state president, Abdi Mohamed Omar, who resigned last month following unrest and military intervention.
