Nigeria had to wait till the 51st minute before they will restore parity through captain Raheedat Ajibade. The Falcons most outstanding player let fly from outside the box an unstoppable rocket that gave the Ethiopian goalkeeper no chance. Highly-rated Barcelona star Asisat Oshoala was a pale shadow of the player who was recently nominated for the prestigious Ballon d’Or.

A new two-day round of negotiations between Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan ended in Cairo on Tuesday with no resolution to their years-long dispute over Addis Ababa’s building of a mega-dam on the Blue Nile, which threatens water security, the neighbours say. The next round of talks will be held in the Ethiopian capital, Egypt's Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation said. Another round of talks was held in Addis Ababa in September which also ended with no resolution to the dispute. READ MORE Why even failed talks over Ethiopia's Gerd dam are a good thingIn between August and September's talks, Addis Ababa announced it had completed the fourth and final filling of the dam's 74 cubic-kilometre reservoir.

Ethiopia records 6,959 cyberattack attempts during 2022/2023 fiscal year
The Ethiopian government said it recorded 6,959 cyberattack attempts during the 2022/2023 fiscal year that ended on July 7. Ethiopia’s Information Network Security Administration (INSA) said it has rescued more than 23.2 billion Ethiopian birrs (about 416 million U.S. dollars) by thwarting cybercrime attempts during the reported period, state-affiliated Fana Broadcasting Corporate (FBC) reported late Monday. Cyberattack attempts in Ethiopia often target financial, security, intelligence, media and communication institutions as well as key government institutions and infrastructure, the FBC quoted INSA Director General Solomon Soka as saying. Ethiopia is upgrading its largely traditional basic services infrastructure and government bureaucracy, using cyber technology as a key component. Since assuming office in April 2018, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, who was previously head of the INSA, has engaged in an ambitious drive to introduce cyber technology across all public and private sectors in the country.

EV Floodgates Open In Ethiopia After Gov’t Exempts All EVs From VAT, Surtax, & Excise Tax
Or follow us on Google NewsA year ago, the Ethiopian government introduced some incentives to catalyze the adoption of electric vehicles. Ethiopia’s Ministry of Finance exempted all electric vehicles from VAT, surtax, and excise tax! This move was made to encourage the local assembly and component manufacturing sectors for electric vehicles. Semi-knocked-down kits now attract a customs duty tax of 5% and fully built electric vehicles will have a customs duty of 15%. The growth of EV imports in Ethiopia, which now dwarfs EV imports in some of the other major African countries, just goes to show how things can really move quickly.
