(OPride) – Ethiopia’s speaker of the House of Peoples Representatives, Abba Dula Gamada, on Sunday confirmed tendering his resignation letter to his party and the House leadership. “There are reasons why I could not continue in the current role,” the outgoing speaker told reporters from the state-run Oromia Broadcasting Network. He offered no other details for his abrupt departure but said he has no interest to remain the speaker. The former minister of Defense was also apparently enraged by TPLF leaders’ efforts to pin the blame for the border crisis on Oromia state officials. Meanwhile, in a statement on Sunday, the federal government warned Somali regional state leaders to stop disseminating inciting messages.
