Government aims to complete gun registry within two years across Ethiopia. The Federal Prosecutor General announced on Sunday that individuals or institutions owning any firearms should get it registered within two years. It is unclear ifCitizens and organizations that apply for gun ownership need to meet a certain qualification, the Federal prosecutor Adanech Abebe said. As much as there are those Ethiopians who tend to support illegal firearms control legislation, there are also those who have a concern about government plans to control the firearm. For many, gun control legislation under the Abiy Ahmed administration is meant to disarm people in the Amhara region of Ethiopia.
