It was the second involving a Boeing MAX in less than five months, and led to a worldwide grounding of all MAX jets for nearly two years. Boeing described the sale as the largest-ever purchase of Boeing aeroplanes in African history, without disclosing a price point for the deal.

Ethiopian buys more Boeing 737 MAX nearly five years after deadly crash
DUBAI (Reuters) - Ethiopian Airlines on Tuesday placed an order for Boeing 737-8 MAX narrow-body jets, nearly five years after the fatal 2019 MAX aircraft crash that led to the grounding of the global fleet. In March 2019, an Ethiopian Airlines 737 MAX plane crashed shortly after take-off from Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa, killing all 157 passengers and crew on board. The accident followed a Lion Air 737 MAX crash in Indonesia's Java Sea five months earlier which killed all 189 people on board. Ethiopian Airlines announced the order on the second day of the week-long Dubai Airshow, where order announcements have been dominated by U.S. planemaker Boeing. Tasew said Ethiopian Airlines expects to exercise options to purchase another 21 of the narrow-body planes.

Column: Is the Specialty Coffee Sector Falling Behind on the Environment?
I have worked in the specialty coffee trade for over a decade and, like many people in the industry, I believed for much of that time that specialty coffee was sustainable. With almost all companies in the specialty coffee industry claiming to pay better prices to producers, then the environment must naturally be taken care of, right? Another surprise came when we started to market our solution to brands and traders associated with the specialty coffee sector. It makes me wonder: Is the specialty coffee industry falling behind? In my opinion, what really needs to change in the specialty coffee industry is the narrative.

News: Ethiopia’s quest for sea outlet, own port neither new nor a threat to neighboring countries: PM Abiy
After 30 years, Ethiopia’s status was reduced from ownership of two ports to using two ports, Djibouti and Assab, through trade rules and agreements with the respective countries. That was further reduced to the use of the port of Djibouti after disagreements and conflict with Eritrea. He mentioned recent news of missile attacks coming from Yemen, which is only about 28, 29 km sea width from Djibouti. If the big powers there start shooting at camps on other side, it leaves Ethiopia, a country with a population of 120 million, without options. He questioned how saying ‘let’s share the Airline’ be taken as equivalent to war.

Abiy Ahmed’s imperial ambitions are bad news for Africa, and the world
Since then, Ethiopia has been fully dependent on its neighbours – especially Djibouti – for access to ports and international shipping routes. Yet Abiy is clear that his country will gain favourable access to the sea and key international trading routes – one way or the other. Abiy is increasingly sounding and acting like another world leader whose imperial ambitions and aggression have already caused immense pain and suffering: Russia’s President Vladimir Putin. Abiy’s Ethiopia clearly has ambitions to not only gain access to the sea but become a great power in the world. African nations should put an end to Abiy’s imperial ambitions for good, before it is too late.
