Their joint efforts to breed better Ethiopian dairy cattle have taken off. The production gains are pronounced enough to draw widespread interest from area dairy farmers and additional investment from the national government. “The best way to sell a technology is to have farmers tell their success stories to other farmers,” Youngs said. In 2022, on the sixth of his seven total visits to Ethiopia, Youngs toured a model dairy village near Denkaka. “If everyone has excess milk, farmers could buy a cooler tank and keep it until a processer comes to pick it up.

Horn of Africa’s stability at stake as Ethiopia bids to regain access to Red Sea
The NewsA call by Ethiopia’s prime minister for his country to regain access to the Red Sea after a 30-year hiatus has sparked fears that the issue could destabilize the Horn of Africa. Ethiopia lost direct access to the sea in 1993 when Eritrea seceded from it after a war that lasted three decades. There is now fear that such an aggressive demand from Ethiopia might escalate into a regional war. An aid-dependent nation with an expanding economy, the inability to access the Red Sea and the accumulated cost of using the Djibouti port, along with recurring conflicts, have derailed its plans to become a middle-income nation by 2025. Samuel’s viewThis is the first time the Ethiopian prime minister has addressed lawmakers on the issue of the Red Sea without mincing words.
