ADDIS ABABA, March 18 (Xinhua) -- Business and transportation movement across Ethiopia have returned to their regular services since the imposition of martial law, an Ethiopian official said on Sunday.

Assefa Abyou, Commissioner General of the Ethiopian Federal Police Commission, said since the imposition of martial law on February 16, regular business and transportation activity occasionally interrupted by strikes and riots have resumed to normal operations, reported state media Ethiopia Broadcasting Corporation.

"The regular activity of farmers selling their produce in urban centers while in turn buying inputs from urban areas for their household needs has been restored," he said.

However, Abyou acknowledged there's fear among the general populace of resumption of violence despite day to day activities in urban and rural areas largely returning to normal state.

He mentioned social media posts by exiled activists threatening attacks on fuel convoys and stations as one area of concern by the public.

Ethiopia has faced incessant protests since 2016, especially in its three most populous Oromia, Amhara and Southern regional states.

The recent protests have led Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn to declare resignation, which was followed by the imposition of a six-month martial law.

The Ethiopian government imposed the martial law saying it was to protect the country's constitution, citizens and their property.
