ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Dozens of civilians have been killed this month by drone strikes and house-to-house searches in Ethiopia's Amhara region, where authorities have touted security gains since conflict erupted in July, a state-appointed human rights commission said on Monday. At least 183 people were killed in the first month of the conflict, the United Nations said in late August. In a new report, the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission (EHRC) documented several incidents in which civilians were killed this month. Earlier this month, Amhara's regional administration said security had improved, and it eased curfews imposed after the conflict broke out. Relations between the two sides have since soured, particularly after the federal government moved in April to integrate security forces operated by each region into the police and army.

To this, Chef Laurent adds the pièce de résistance: a few dehydrated mealworms and some whole crickets for crunch and flavour. There are insects, but behind the insects, it's more a way of cooking more intelligently, more respectfully,” the classically trained chef explained. So we need to change,” Arnold Van Huis, a professor at the University of Wageningen in the Netherlands who co-authored a book on edible insects, said. Well, aside from their comprehensive nutritional profile - they are rich in protein, essential amino acids, and healthy fatty acids - edible insects could be a viable way to rise to the environmental challenges of food production. For all these reasons and more, to Laurent, insects are the food of the future despite some initial misgivings the Lyonnais chef had when he first tasted the delicacy.
