Ethiopia has restructured its army, the Ethiopian National Defense Force, ENDF, state affiliated media FBC reported on Thursday. FBC also cited Lieutenant General Mola Hailemariam, chief of special operation at the defense force as confirming that military positions have also been realigned to the latest development. The ENDF has also set up a committee tasked to reestablish a naval force and a special operation command. The issue of a naval force came up strongly in the wake of Ethio-Eritrea peace deal signed in July 2018. Earlier this year, it took the army to depose leader of the eastern Somali Regional State, SRS.
