“Bottom-up” approach should have been implemented to delineate the administrative boundary boundaries between Addis Abeba city and Oromia region, a confidential, high-ranking official working at the Ministry of Justice told Addis Standard. He further expressed that the government officials from the said areas of Addis Abeba and Oromia Special Zone Surrounding Finnfine will hold discussions with the residents that will be affected by the decisions. Another interviewee, raising the same concerns, stated that when she was seeking services, the city administration and the Oromia Special Zone Surrounding Finnfine had discrepancies. EZEMA’s announcement comes in the backdrop of the decision made that the boundary delimitation will be executed between all the districts around Addis Abeba and the Oromia Special Zone Surrounding Finnfine. Neither the Addis Abeba city administration nor the Oromia Special Zone Surrounding Finnfine has released any official information regarding the demarcation agreement.
