A 14-year-old student has created a new kind of soap that he hopes could potentially be used to treat skin cancer someday. "A bar of soap is just so simple, so affordable, so accessible in comparison to these modern new skin cancer treatments."

On this date, his government signed a treaty in Pretoria, South Africa, with the Tigrayan insurgents of the Tigray Popular Liberation Front (FLPT) ending two years of civil war (2020-2022). Terrified that the civil war would lead to the dislocation of the Ethiopian giant, she applauded the agreement with both hands. “The past year began with some signs of hope for the human rights situation in Ethiopia, but ended with a significant deterioration. The Prime Minister, who was their ally during the war in Tigray, announced the dismantling of the Amhara special forces once peace was signed. This war which does not speak its name has already caused several hundred victims among the militiamen, but also among the civilian populations, specifies the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission.

Under Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed Ali’s Prosperity Gospel, the socioeconomic reality on the ground is bleaker today than it was when Abiy took power. More than five million Ethiopians are internally dispalced, one of the largest in the world. A repeat of the 1984 Great Famine is on the horizon, with drought induced starvation in the Amhara region affecting one million lives. Abiy’s system is a blend of plutocracy, that is, a society ruled by a few people of ill-gained wealth and political power ; and oligarcy, that is, a power structure in which power resides in a self-selected few ethnic elites. The Prosperity Gospel in Ethiopia enriches the few and traps the majority of the population into a cycle of poverty and destitution.

Heman Bekele, 14, developed a bar of soap that could be useful in the treatment of melanoma. It's made from compounds that could reactivate certain cells that guard human skin, enabling them to fight off cancer.

He said once he gets it to market, he wants to create a non-profit so everyone can have access to his soap and its benefits.

Nare is only the third athlete after Rene Kalmer and Irvette van Zyl to score a hat-trick of SPAR Grand Prix wins. After finishing runner-up in the first five races this year, she finally collected her first-ever win in a SPAR Grand Prix race in Jozi when Nare gave the race a miss.

Addis Abeba — Education officials in the drought-stricken Sehala district of the Amhara region have reported a significant decrease in student attendance at the start of the new school year. A staggering number of 1,688 students previously enrolled in the district have been forced to drop out as a result of the persistent drought. This unfortunate situation primarily stems from the ongoing conflict between the federal government and the non-state militia, Fano. For instance, at Mesha Primary School, while 1,241 students are officially enrolled, the principal, Amanuel Bere, reported that 154 students have already quit attending classes as their families migrate for work. These reports further highlight the crippling impact of the drought, as minimal rainfall over the past months has depleted resources.

Addis Ababa (AFP) – An accord signed a year ago between the rivals in Ethiopia's Tigray war has brought peace to the shattered region, but ignited yet another conflict in the increasingly fractured nation. The guns at last silent, the northern region of six million has begun the huge task of rebuilding. Among the worst affected are the one million people inside Tigray forced to flee fighting. Many were driven out of territory still under control of security forces from neighbouring Amhara, Tigray's rival region, which sided with the national army during the conflict. The end of fighting in Tigray has only served to spotlight the many other hotspots raging in Ethiopia, often along ethnic lines, troubling a vast and diverse country of 120 million people.

Back in September 2021, Caricom and Africa held their first summit aimed at holding long talks about opportunities in trade and direct investment, air travel, and maritime links, among other areas. Delegates from both regions appeared upbeat and were encouraged by the pace of developments since the leaders met in 2021. Todd said the African bank is also helping the region “develop its own Exim bank” that would work along similar lines to its African counterpart. Commercial quantities were discovered back in 2020 and already the daily tally from two oilfields has reached about 400,000 barrels. Several of the African states are major oil producers, including Nigeria and Mozambique.

We Conducted A Séance With Micheal Jackson, Here’s What He Told Us Share:PAYING someone to conduct a séance of a dead celebrity is cheaper than you’d think, so after our successful séances with Diana (yes, the Queen ordered it) and the Queen (the bitch deserved it), WWN turns its attention to pop star Michael Jackson. With the help expert clairvoyant Claire Voyant (changed her name by deed poll) we hoped to connect with the Thriller singer and get answers to questions about the most controversial aspects of his life. WWN: “No, Michael Jackson of the Jackson Five?”MJ: “I was one of the brothers alright but wouldn’t know anything about us being called the Jackson Five, some cunts called us Microphone Heads on account of the curly afros we were sporting”. Did you speak with a disturbingly soft voice and retreat into a world of performative childlike wonder?”MJ: “No this Michael Jackson, Jackson Building Supplies, Castleblayney.”EDITOR’S NOTE: Claire Voyant Clairvoyant Services do not issue refunds. Even if you clearly requested a séance with a specific, well known person and not someone she knows from the locality.
