June 10, 2019During their joint meeting this morning the Ethiopian Parliament and the House of Federation decided to postpone national population census of Ethiopia by over one-year period. After debating on the plan to extend, the parliament has extended the national population census by one year. It is recalled that before the joint meeting the Ethiopian Parliament has passed a resolution to postpone the census. Since the current regime came to power in May 1991, Ethiopia has undertaken national population census two times every ten year since 1994 and 2007. Estimates show that the total population of Ethiopia at the moment is around 100 million.
