In April 2017 , during the state of emergency , the Ethiopian government told the two regions to come to an agreement redistricting their boundaries per the outcome of a referendum that was conducted 10 years ago , in which Oromia lost some land . The government recruited " Liyou Police " or special police of the Somali region as an armed force to enforce the outcome .
В апреле 2017 года во время чрезвычайного положения правительство Эфиопии заставило эти регионы прийти к соглашению и изменило границы по итогам референдума , проведённого 10 лет назад .
