Vulnerable economies fall behind despite resilient global growth – New Business Ethiopia
One in three IDA countries is poorer today than it was on the eve of the pandemic. While several major economies are seeing growth surprise on the upside, near-term projections for IDA countries are, on average, being revised down. Investment growth in IDA countries has generally been weak in recent years. Against a backdrop of historically challenging international and domestic circumstances, IDA countries’ policy efforts— should be complemented by significant and consistent international financing. To create an environment in which IDA countries can thrive, enhanced international cooperation on global issues will also be necessary.

1,000 refugees flee Ethiopian camp
NAIROBI: About 1,000 refugees have fled a UN-run camp in northern Ethiopia after reports of armed robbery, shootings and alleged abductions, the United Nations said on Friday. The UN’s refugee agency UNHCR said the refugees, from war-torn Sudan and also Eritrea, left the Awlala settlement in the Amhara region earlier this week “primarily because they did not feel safe”. “This follows several reports of security incidents, including crime, theft, armed robbery, shooting and alleged abductions,” a UNHCR spokesperson said in Nairobi, adding that the refugees also wanted services there to be improved. The Awlala camp lies about 70 kilometres from the Metema border crossing into Sudan, which descended into a brutal conflict between rival generals in April last year. The UNHCR spokesperson said teams from the agency and the Ethiopian authorities tried to encourage the refugees to return to Awlala, but that they refused and remain by the roadside about 1.5 kilometres away.

The Jal Maroo Transcript And The Question Of Self-Determination
In it, Jal Maroo gives us a blow-by-blow account of what transpired at the meeting. So, it is in this context that I comment on a couple of the issues Jal Maroo raised. The first is the fact that Abiy’s emissaries revealed to Jal Maroo and the OLA that Abiy has sent them “a special message”. According to Jal Maroo, the regime delegates insisted on not divulging the “special message” in the presence of foreign observers that were at the meeting. This takes us to the second point Jal Maroo raised in his transcript.
