Multiple crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the current geopolitical and global macroeconomic situation have resulted in poor economic progress and exacerbated the structural challenges of African Landlocked Least Developed Countries (LLDCs). Thirteen are still categorized as least developed countries and no landlocked developing country in Africa has graduated from least developed country status in the past decade. On the trade front, African LLDCs had low trade in services between 2014 and 2022.

Amhara Fano and Ethiopian Clashes: Amhara Fear More Extrajudicial Killings – Modern Tokyo Times
Amhara Fano and Ethiopian Clashes: Amhara Fear More Extrajudicial KillingsKanako Mita, Sawako Utsumi, and Lee Jay WalkerModern Tokyo TimesThe Amhara have much to fear with ongoing extrajudicial killings of this ethnic group by the armed forces of Ethiopia. Recent fighting in Bahir Dar between the Fano (Amhara) militia and the central forces of Ethiopia raises the fear of more extrajudicial killings – given recent massacres. Accordingly, central forces loyal to Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed of Ethiopia seek to crush the independent spirit of the Amhara at all costs. Because Abiy is failing to respond to the Amhara questions and has deployed his troops in the Amhara region, the Amhara Fano now feel compelled to fight back.”The Amhara have much to fear within their homeland and in surrounding regions.
