Ethiopian Airlines plane (from the web)By LJDemissieDear Bloomberg,I read your article about the Ethiopian Airlines Boeing 787-9 landing in Hong Kong during a super typhoon. I found your article misleading and inaccurate, as it contradicts the official data and statements from the Ethiopian Airlines and the Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department. The pilots had obtained clearance from the Hong Kong air traffic control, and they had followed the standard procedures and regulations for landing in adverse weather conditions. I suggest you revise your article or add a disclaimer to reflect the facts and avoid spreading misinformation. Sincerely,The writer LJDemissie can be reached at LJDemissie@yahoo.comEditor’s note : Views in the article do not necessarily reflect the views of borkena.com__To Publish Article On borkena, please send submission to info@borkena.com for consideration.

But this diversity, this ability to absorb talent from all over the world, is why Dubai, with a relatively small population of three million, is home to food options that delight connoisseurs worldwide. Smoked brisket at the Big T.I will weigh in with my global foodie creds (even if I say so myself) to draw a line in the sand and say: your list of global food hubs is incomplete if Dubai doesn’t feature in it . We even have Dubai food tours, which are growing in popularity. Parts of old Dubai have been converted from traditional Emirati homes to a local cultural experience described via local food. Whilst the Puritans will pooh-pooh Dubai scene as an upstart, I will weigh in with my global foodie creds (even if I say so myself) to draw a line in the sand and say: your list of global food hubs is incomplete if Dubai doesn’t feature on it.

EU and US Knew About Saudi Guards Killing Ethiopians but Kept SilentKanako Mita, Sawako Utsumi, and Lee Jay WalkerModern Tokyo TimesAmerica and the European Union – according to the New York Times – knew that the border guards of Saudi Arabia were killing Ethiopians (and other Africans) in late 2O22. However, respective geopolitical issues annulled human rights in the corridors of power in America, France, Germany, Holland, and Sweden (European Union officials also knew). The border guards of Saudi Arabia – a nation where all non-Muslim holy places are banned and where slavery only ended in the 1960s – reportedly killed hundreds of Ethiopians. Therefore, it highlights the complete hypocrisy of the Biden administration and the European Union. https://www.hrw.org/report/2023/08/21/they-fired-us-rain/saudi-arabian-mass-killings-ethiopian-migrants-yemen-saudiModern Tokyo News is part of the Modern Tokyo Times grouphttp://moderntokyotimes.com Modern Tokyo Times – International News and Japan Newshttp://sawakoart.com – Sawako Utsumi and her website – Modern Tokyo Times artisthttps://moderntokyonews.com Modern Tokyo News – Tokyo News and International NewsPLEASE JOIN ON TWITTERhttps://twitter.com/MTT_News Modern Tokyo TimesPLEASE JOIN ON FACEBOOKhttp://facebook.com/moderntokyotimes

The “United Nations (UN)” and African Union (AU) talk loud against the coups in West Africa, but they have given deaf ears to the Amhara Genocide in Ethiopia. In its earliest face, the Amhara genocide was effectively implemented in Wolkait and Raya. Similarly, the Amhara genocide is not being implemented without active and direct involvement of the rulers. Use your well-developed diplomatic culture throughout the world to show the ongoing Amhara genocide even to UN and AF who are sleeping intentionally. It is evident that the UN, AU and the West are supporting the Amhara genocide in silence.
