Africans dominate as Irish find the going tough in Riga
Andrew MilliganIT was a tough learning day for Ireland’s four representatives competing at Sunday’s inaugural World Road Running Championships in Riga, Latvia. Catherine Amanang’ole (67:34), in third, made it a clean sweep of the individual medals for Kenya who also claimed team gold from Ethiopia and Britain. Two-time Olympian Kevin Seaward was a withdrawal from the men’s race leaving Hiko Tonosa Haso and Peter Lynch as the Irish standard-bearers. Newcastle followed up their win in the road relays seven days earlier by putting their four scorers in the top 11 to claim the championship team gold medals. It was double joy for Robyn McKee in the women’s race taking the individual title in 36:16 and leading her Annadale Striders squad to a comfortable team win.

Gas prices skyrocket as Ethiopian government ends subsidy
Starting from September 30, 2023, the price of a liter of gas will be set at 77.79 Ethiopian Birr. A report by DW Amharic, published on Sunday, reveals that the price increase is over fivefold. A liter of gas (commonly referred to as benzine in Ethiopia) used to sell for 15.76 Ethiopian Birr. Combined with the existing price inflation of other goods, the increase in gas prices is expected to place a heavy burden on the Ethiopian economy. Fethawork Wondewossen, another Ethiopian economist, believes that increasing gas prices while the government claims to be working to reduce inflation in other goods is inconceivable.
