Ethiopian Army Claims Upper Hand Against Amhara, Oromia Rebels
Addressing the Defence Force media, Field Marshal Birhanu Jula described the "extremist" groups operating in Ethiopia, particularly in the Amhara and Oromia regions, as no longer posing a significant threat. The Amhara region, home to a prominent local militia known as Fano, has been embroiled in a prolonged conflict with the Ethiopian National Defense Forces (ENDF). Contrary to Field Marshal Birhanu Jula's claims, local media reports indicate escalating clashes in some areas this week. General Birhanu noted that the defense army is currently operating at only 10 percent of its capacity in the Amhara region. Claims by Fano that they captured three helicopters, tanks, and killed a military general were refuted as "false" by Field Marshal Birhanu Jula.

Opportunities for African OPEC members – New Business Ethiopia
By NJ Ayuk – In this article the writer argues that delayed organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) cuts mean opportunity for African members. Many of OPEC’s African member states had been struggling to produce enough crude to meet the targets set for them last year. Algeria and Gabon are the two African members among those volunteers. Algeria in the north is another high achiever, with production capacity that exceeds its 2024 OPEC target of 959,000 bpd. A united effort to awaken more investor interest in African oil should start now, as should cooperation among African members to present a more unified voice when the 36th OPEC meeting is held in November, 2023.

The decision was made by the AU Peace and Security Council after a meeting on Thursday afternoon. The army took over power in the West African nation after the results of a contested election declared President Bongo as the winner of a third term. The African Union Chair Moussa Faki Mahamat was quick to condemn the military’s move used “as a means out of the current post-electoral crisis”. Gabon is yet another former French colony in West Africa to experience a coup – following Mali, Burkina Faso, Guinea and Niger.
