Ethiopia delays census again despite looming election

Ethiopia's parliament postponed a national census for a second time on Monday, citing security concerns but potentially undermining logistics for the first election under reformist Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed.Ethiopia is due to hold a national vote some time next year, and the census - already postponed once from 2017 - is a crucial step toward demarcating constituencies."Our people are still displaced in many parts of the country," lawmaker Tesfaye Daba said during a parliamentary debate.
