Several overt and covert attempts were made by the United States to cause diplomatic stampede, the flight of foreign missions out of Ethiopia. It is impossible for any peace talk effort to even begin with the Fano with Ambassador Michael Hammer as the main player. The current uprising, resistance movement of the Fano, is the direct result of the treacherous Pretoria Agreement, courtesy of the United States State Department, Ambassador Mike Hammer’s legacy. Some in the State Department, such as Michael Hammer’s advisor, have a very personal interest; having adopted children from Tigray.

Ethiopia begins issuing refugees digital ID cards to facilitate service access
The distribution of digital ID cards to Ethiopian refugees and returnees, as part of a pilot with tripartite support, has begun in the country’s capital Addis Ababa. It was unveiled last year following the signing of an MoU by Ethiopia’s ID and refugee authorities and the UNHCR. The digital ID issuance to refugees is being implemented under the UNHCR’s PING PRIMES Interoperability Gateway project, the first to be rolled out in Africa, the announcement mentions. Also, during one of the panel discussions during the MOSIP event, a UNICEF official explained how the Ethiopia digital ID project has helped them empower forcibly displaced persons in the Oromia region of the country.

How ‘hometown associations’ help immigrants support their communities in the US and back in their homelands
(THE CONVERSATION) “Hometown associations,” also known as migrant clubs, are nonprofits formed by immigrants who are originally from the same place in their country of origin. Advertisement Article continues below this adMexican hometown associations are the most widely established. Why hometown associations matterI’m a scholar of philanthropy who has recently studied the Mexican hometown associations that support causes on both sides of the U.S. southern border. This estimate leaves out collective philanthropy, including the money that hometown associations send back to their homelands. I’ve never found a reliable estimate of the scale of hometown associations’ charitable contributions.

Why is Fano Stronger in Gojam Than in Other Parts of the Amhara Tribal Land?
I consistently named the Eskinder Nega and Shaleka Dawit Woldegiorgis team as a liability to the Fano movement. He lacks political savviness, diplomatic subtlety, and moral fortitude to lead any political movement. The strategy was to use diaspora forces as a leverage to hijack the Fano movement at home. Why is Fano Stronger in Gojam Than in Other Parts of the Amhara Tribal Land? The answer to this question is key to establishing a political architecture to unify Fano across the Amhara tribal land.

Sami’s Odysseys review – life obsession of Ethiopian translator of Greek myths
Living in a rudimentarily furnished home in Ethiopia’s capital Addis Ababa, sixtysomething Sami has spent nearly two decades translating Greek mythology into Amharic. Slight in frame, the reticent figure only lights up when he speaks of his colossal project, which has grown into an all-consuming obsession. The book has overwhelmed all other aspects of his life, leaving friends, relatives and Sami’s own wellbeing in the rearview mirror. At the same time, at the launch for his long-awaited book, Sami is strangely at a loss for words, as he refuses to give a speech about his efforts. Perhaps, his ambivalence about his achievement stems from what he considers to be a wasted youth, spent in the shadow of Mengistu Haile Mariam’s regime.

Youth activist groups jointly endorse Biden. They say his achievements matter more than his age
“If age were really a concern we would not see this much energy around these groups,” said Lobel, an urban studies major in New York. “President Biden comes before midterms and exams and papers,” Lobel said, only half-joking. The groups’ affinity for the president is little surprise given that young people tend to be more left-leaning than many other voting blocs. Still, it may soften the blow of many voters’ concerns about Biden’s age. In the first ad of a $30-million, post-Super-Tuesday, swing-state advertising blitz, Biden makes no excuses for his age, but says he’s been more effective as president than Trump was.

Stock market today: Wall Street slips some more ahead of this week’s inflation report
NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are slipping Monday as Wall Street prepares for a report on inflation that could show how realistic its hopes for easier interest rates are. Expectations for easier interest rates have helped the price of gold rally to a record. Nvidia is still up more than 70% this year after more than tripling last year amid a frenzy on Wall Street around artificial-intelligence technology. The rally has caused Nvidia to swell in size, and it’s become the third-largest stock on Wall Street. Elsewhere on Wall Street, Reddit said it’s looking to raise almost $750 million by selling its stock to investors on an exchange for the first time.

First photo of Princess of Wales since her surgery is retracted because image appeared manipulated
But The Associated Press and other news agencies later retracted it from publication because it appeared to have been manipulated, fueling more conjecture. “Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months,” Kate said on social media. “Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day.”AP initially published the photo, which was issued by Kensington Palace. The Kensington Palace media office is not open on weekends and a voicemail left for a spokesperson was not immediately returned. “Kensington Palace made it clear in January the timelines of the princess’ recovery and we’d only be providing significant updates,” the palace said Feb. 29.
