The 48th "Sheger derby" is upon us, as Ethiopia Coffee target back-to-back wins over eternal rivals St George. However, the star attraction will only have pride at stake as St George and Ethiopia Coffee are both out of title contention. Ethiopia Coffee are currently in fourth place on 50 points, while St George are fifth with 44 points. His first match was the reverse fixture of the "Sheger derby" against St George Kedus which Coffee won by a lone goal scored by Chala Teshitas. If Ethiopia Coffee get three points from St George, they will certainly finish the season in third place.

Ike Riffel fears that instead of putting Boeing on trial, the government will offer the company another shot at corporate probation. He played sports in school and worked as a technician for the California Department of Transportation in Redding. The Justice Department reopened the possibility of prosecuting Boeing last month, when it said the company had breached the 2021 agreement. Together, they have pressed the Justice Department, the Federal Aviation Administration and Congress to make sure that aircraft are as safe as possible. "We want to find some meaning in what happened to our loved ones," Ike Riffel says.

I read that if the TV was on in your home as a kid then it was probably a soccer game playing. Naomi Girma: My dad loved soccer and that started with his childhood in Ethiopia, just playing with his friends after school. Girma: On Saturday mornings, we would all gather at a local park and it was very fun and informal. His coming to the U.S., barely speaking any English, and then getting an electrical engineering degree and becoming an electrical engineer for most of my life was really, really inspiring. I think for me to be able to take that into the Olympics would be just a really, really special feeling.

The conservative Texas Supreme Court has upheld a state law that prohibits minors from receiving gender-affirming care, overturning a lower court ruling that deemed the ban unconstitutional. Any minors who were already receiving any type of gender-affirming care were then to be "weaned off" their medications in a "medically appropriate" manner. Related Story: What really is gender-affirming care? However, more states are pushing legislation that intends to restrict gender-affirming health care for minors, claiming it protects children from making decisions they may regret later in life. Friday's ruling is the latest in a wave of efforts from Republican-led states to target transgender health care for minors.

The Supreme Court ruled in a 6-3 decision that federal prosecutors went too far in bringing obstruction charges against participants of the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. The Supreme Court sent the case back to a lower court to decide whether the charges should still stand. Trump faces two obstruction charges in a separate case — the same case the Supreme Court will soon decide on regarding the former president’s claims of immunity. Roberts added that there was not a single case against the alleged Jan. 6 rioters in which only obstruction charges were filed. What did Supreme Court justices have to say about it?

Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Clarence Thomas all had questioned the Chevron decision. Judges must exercise their own authority and judgment to say what the law is, they argued to the Supreme Court. Defending the rulings that upheld the fees, President Joe Biden's administration said that overturning the Chevron decision would produce a “convulsive shock” to the legal system. Environmental, health advocacy groups, civil rights organizations, organized labor and Democrats on the national and state level had urged the court to leave the Chevron decision in place. They lost in the lower courts, which relied on the Chevron decision to sustain the regulation.

Regardless, the National Dialogue Commission has started collecting views on the agendaAs widely acknowledged, and I noted four years ago, national dialogue is needed. A national dialogue is supposed to be held, in essence, among participants with diverse views and competing interests. Below are some recommendations to reinvigorate the Ethiopian National Dialogue, in order of importance. There is very little chance of a successful national dialogue in the midst of raging civil wars. Once again, they are in the thick of it, backing a flawed, insincere National Dialogue.
