Ethiopia’s parliament will appoint a new prime minister on Monday, Fana Broadcasting Corp. reported, as the government tries to quell unrest that’s posed the biggest challenge to its rule in a quarter-century.

Abiy will now be confirmed by parliament as the next prime minister, a move that may stem anti-government protests in the Oromia and Amhara regions that began in late 2015.
