Ethiopia into geopolitical trade
With BRICS members surging to eleven soon, the block’s economy is forecasted to surpass the OECD’s block. Prime Minister Abiy claims new military and trade ties with members, though analysts argue BRICS’ main value lies in investment potential if Ethiopia can improve business. Ethiopia is the seat of AU and ECA, which BRICS countries cannot avoid in their strategy towards Africa. In terms of trade and finance, Ethiopia might benefit from the currency convertibility of trading with BRICS countries without the need of dollar. With our growing regional integration endeavours and infrastuructres in airlines, telecom and land transport, Ethiopia will become a connectivity hub for those regions.”According to PM Abiy, Ethiopia joined BRICS by its own merit.

From 53 birr to business empire
With an afro and full beard, the 40-something entrepreneur recounts how his promotion business began with just 53 birr – not even enough today for a macchiato. Rising from humble roots to influence the industry, Esayas has overcome challenges to build an empire across sectors. Esayas’ industry entry began two decades ago with his art and a deep desire to craft independence and success while impacting business. However, he has persisted, investing substantially – like 10 million birr on infrastructure, 25 million birr on garments and 40 million birr acquiring land. In total, he’s dedicated approximately eighty million birr developing facilities in Urael.

Will the EU take a stance for justice in Ethiopia?
During a January 2023 trip to Ethiopia, Annalena Baerbock, Germany's foreign minister, said it was essential to address human rights violations to enable reconciliation. It spearheaded the establishment of the International Commission of Human Rights Experts on Ethiopia, an independent inquiry collecting and preserving evidence of international crimes for future prosecutions under the United Nations Human Rights Council. It accepted a joint investigation by the Office of the UN high commissioner for human rights alongside the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission. More recently, the government has allowed the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission and the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to monitor abuses in northern Ethiopia. And yet, the EU knows that without building a strong foundation of evidence, there will be no meaningful justice for war crimes domestically or internationally.

Head of Ethiopia's crisis-hit Amhara region resigns
Addis Ababa (AFP) – The head of Ethiopia's violence-stricken region of Amhara, which the federal government has placed under a state of emergency, has stepped down, according to an official statement reported Friday. Tension in the northern region ratcheted up this year after the end of a devastating war in the neighbouring region of Tigray that also drew in fighters from Amhara. The move triggered protests by Amhara nationalists who said it would weaken their region. The situation in Amhara is impossible to verify on the ground, as the federal authorities restrict access to the region. The Amhara region is inhabited mostly by the Amhara people, the country's second most populous ethnic group.

Nightmare at the British Museum: why the theft scandal won't have a Hollywood ending
In real life, as the British Museum has recently discovered to its cost, both financially and reputationally, art theft is far more prosaic and almost certainly an inside job. George Osborne, beleaguered chair of the British Museum, is well used to the fierce heat of a public scandal.
