Ethiopia’s visa policy shift leaves Sudanese refugees in limbo
November 16, 2024 (ADDIS ABABA) – Sudanese refugees in Ethiopia face mounting difficulties as authorities reimpose visa fees and hefty fines, leaving many stranded and unable to access vital opportunities. The policy reversal, which ended a February exemption for Sudanese nationals in Addis Ababa, now requires visa renewals and imposes a $30 daily fine for those who are not in compliance. The UNHCR in Ethiopia has further complicated matters by refusing to register Sudanese refugees in the capital, insisting they relocate to camps. The Sudanese Assembly in Addis Ababa, a civil society group, has voiced concerns about the new measures and appealed to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed for a reprieve. This policy shift comes as thousands of Sudanese have sought refuge in Ethiopia following the outbreak of civil war in April.

AG Moylan: Outlaw personal recognizance bonds
Outlawing the option of personal recognizance bonds is the solution to reducing the number of repeat offenders reentering the criminal justice system, said Attorney General of Guam Douglas B. Moylan. Of those 320 violations, said Moylan, 26 defendants also picked up new cases. “The solution is to outlaw cashless bails, which is the personal recognizance bonds. Moylan said he developed the plan to seek funding to purchase 17 drug canines, both male and female, to develop drug dogs born and raised on Guam. “We also have a team looking to acquire more federal funding so that I can pay for more drug prosecutors.”

Ethiopian Trade Union Calls for Lower Employment Taxes
Trade Union Urges Reduction of Employment Taxes to Alleviate Worker BurdenThe Confederation of Ethiopian Trade Unions (CETU) has called on the government to reduce employment taxes for workers as part of broader economic reforms to address the rising cost of living. Mr. Kasahun highlighted that the sharp depreciation of the Ethiopian Birr and the escalating cost of living have disproportionately affected salaried workers. Combined with the steep decline in the purchasing power of the Ethiopian Birr, these salaries are insufficient to cover basic expenses. The Ethiopian Birr has depreciated significantly, losing over 100% of its value. The union stresses that without swift government intervention, the livelihood of millions of Ethiopian workers will continue to deteriorate.

Weddings have long been expensive. Now, guests are paying, too
As an unwed woman and frequent wedding guest in 2024, I am maybe too attuned to the ways weddings have become increasingly extravagant. On Reddit, one user noted that being a bridesmaid in her best friend’s wedding in a Scandinavian town, where the friend’s family is from, is going to run her $8,000. And some guests are being denied plus-ones, making attending the wedding less of a joy and more of a dutiful chore. Even in times of high inflation, like now, while some may try to cut back, expensive weddings prevail. Weddings are the rare time in life where everyone you care about will likely come together — friends, family and loved ones.

Ethiopian Airlines Warn Boeing Strike Could Impact Growth
Ethiopian Airlines, Africa’s largest and most profitable carrier, is grappling with the effects of a recent seven-week strike at Boeing, its CEO, Mesfin Tasew, revealed on Friday. The strike, which disrupted production of Boeing’s popular 737 MAX and 777 jets, could have lasting consequences for the airline’s growth. Ethiopian Airlines recently received deliveries of Airbus A350-900s, helping mitigate some of the impact. Ethiopian Airlines, which carried 17.1 million passengers and saw a 14% rise in revenue in the 2023/24 financial year, relies heavily on new aircraft to support its growth. Ethiopian Airlines resumed flights with the 737 MAX in February 2022.

Ethiopia congratulates Somaliland on a peaceful and democratic election
Ethiopia congratulates Somaliland on a peaceful and democratic electionADDIS ABABA - Ethiopia has recognized the recently concluded presidential election in Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia that is fighting for international recognition, having declared self-independence three decades ago. A statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs acknowledged the people of Somaliland for conducting “a peaceful and democratic election.” The region runs a parallel government from that of Mogadishu and conducts its own legislative business. In the statement, Ethiopia lauded the Somaliland National Electoral Commission for conducting 'free and fair elections'. “This process reflects the maturity of Somaliland’s governance and democratic system,” the statement by the ministry said. Regardless of the outcome of the election and the eventual winner, Somaliland would still face the question of a Memorandum of Understanding with Ethiopia, which was termed as 'illegal and provocative'.
