Ethiopia is set to carry out the fifth filling of the Grand Ethiopian Revival Dam (GERD) by the end of July, which is expected to bring an additional 23 billion cubic meters of water to the dam, despite objections from downstream countries (Egypt and Sudan) . The new filling raises concerns among Egyptian experts about “a decrease in Cairo's share of Nile water,” and there are fears that the move will complicate the crisis between Egypt and Ethiopia. Cairo called on Addis Ababa to conduct "detailed technical" studies on the effects of the GERD, stressing that Ethiopia's "unilateral" measures risk perpetuating "tensions and instability" in the region. According to what was announced in January by Ethiopian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Demeke Mekonnen, the dam's construction rate has currently reached 94,6 percent.

The Ethiopian filling is expected to take place at the end of July, without any coordination with downstream countries Egypt and Sudan. Egypt’s former assistant foreign minister, Hussein Hureidi, told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that, “Egypt is taking all the necessary measures to lessen the damage caused by the dam at this time”. Another professor, Mohammed Hafiz, told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed that the satellite photos had shown a slight rise in the water level around two small islands in the dam’s reservoir. Negotiations between Egypt and Ethiopia over the dam broke down last December. Egypt’s Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation said at the time that the talks were unsuccessful due to Ethiopia’s “persistent refusal” to accept any compromise.

Three Ethiopian truck drivers and one repairman die from heat in Djibouti; truck drivers’ association blames owners(Photo: Ethiopian Embassy in Djibouti)Addis Abeba – At least three Ethiopian truck drivers and one repairman have died in the past two weeks, and two additional drivers have been hospitalized, all due to the extreme temperatures in Djibouti. “The drivers are compelled to travel to Djibouti and remain there without their freight to avoid termination from their jobs,” Solomon explained. “In contrast, once reaching Djibouti, vehicle owners are no longer responsible for such costs.”The drivers, however, are subjected to excessive charges for tolls, parking, and other ancillary fees, according to Solomon. The general manager of the association contends that dispatching drivers to Djibouti’s port has a deleterious effect on the Ethiopian economy. Solomon implored vehicle owners to acknowledge the gravity of this issue and to refrain from prematurely dispatching drivers.

As the rest of the world lives in 2024, Ethiopia is still in 2016. The Ethiopian calendar, also known as the Ge'ez calendar, has its roots in the ancient Coptic calendar. This structure makes the Ethiopian year 7 to 8 years behind the Gregorian calendar, which is used globally. While the Gregorian calendar, introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, is based on calculations made by Dionysius Exiguus, the Ethiopian calendar relies on an alternative calculation (7 BC) from the Coptic Church. From business transactions to social engagements, the Ethiopian calendar coexists with the Gregorian calendar, especially in urban areas and international dealings.

"The AU and Somalia's government have emphasized the importance of a conditions-based drawdown to prevent any security vacuum," he told Reuters. The Peace and Security Council is due to meet on Somalia later on Thursday to discuss the drawdown and follow-up mission.

Boeing crash families demand record $25bn fine16 hours ago By Christal Hayes , BBC News, Washington ShareReuters Boeing chief executive Dave Calhoun before Congress this weekThe families of victims in two Boeing 737 Max plane crashes have asked for prosecutions and a fine of $24.8bn for "the deadliest corporate crime in US history". The families' lawyer Paul Cassell said the amount was "justified and clearly appropriate" given "enormous human costs of Boeing's crimes". Two 737 Max aircraft were lost in separate but almost identical accidents that killed 346 people. The charge has laid dormant since the company acknowledged in a settlement that it had mislead air-safety regulators about aspects if the 737 Max, and promised to create a new compliance system to detect and prevent further fraud. Last month, prosecutors determined that the settlement was violated when a door panel flew off a 737 Max plane during an Alaska Airlines flight in January, leaving a gaping hole in the fuselage mid-flight.
