Funding drying up for Ethiopia’s humanitarian needs – WFP
The United Nations World Food Program (WFP) said it has encountered a funding shortfall in meeting the needs of refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and communities in Ethiopia. The WFP, in its latest Ethiopia country brief issued late Thursday, said it is facing a funding shortfall of 420 million U.S. dollars to support its humanitarian activities in Ethiopia until the end of the year. “Reports from WFP’s conflict sensitivity assessment indicate that the food security situation is worsening in many areas of the country,” the WFP said. According to the WFP, Ethiopia has faced conflict, displacement and drought over the past few years, eventually resulting in growing food insecurity. The WFP said its net funding requirement of 410 million from July to December 2023 also includes 7 million U.S. dollars to support Sudan refugee response for the next six months.

Ethiopian security forces have arrested a number of Boko Haram and al-Shabab terror groups linked suspects, local officials said Saturday.

Ethiopian Modernization: Opportunities and Derailments
The complete manuscript of Messay Kebede’s new bookThe desire to allow open access to a large number of Ethiopian readers explains the reason why this manuscript was not submitted to a normal academic publisher. Unfortunately, the agreement fell apart following my resolution to include a chapter critical of Abiy Ahmed’s policy, the current prime minister of Ethiopia. Aware of the closure of any possibility for open access posting in Ethiopia so long as the present government is in place, I decided to send out the manuscript to some of the websites stationed outside Ethiopia and regularly visited by Ethiopian intellectuals and a wide Ethiopian readership. I hereby extend my gratitude to the editors and webmasters of the websites I contacted for agreeing to post the manuscript in its entirety.

Mariwan Naqshbandi talks with youth from the Lehi Utah Pheasant Pointe Stake near a replica of the ancient tabernacle of Moses in Highland, Utah, on Oct. 5, 2023. Yet at the end of the week, Shifa said the visit that stood out to him the most was the tabernacle exhibit. Visitors to the tabernacle replica progress through stages of the exhibit, starting with entering the gate on the east side. As the books of Moses are canon for many religions, the tabernacle exhibit has seen visitors from several faiths. “One of the things about the tabernacle being an Old Testament experience,” said Elder Russell, “is that it doesn’t matter if they’re Jewish or Muslim or evangelical.

With Messi10, Cirque du Soleil wears the shirt | What is the show that honors the star and premieres in Buenos Aires?
The seal of Cirque du Soleil is at the service, this time, to pay tribute to the figure of Lionel Messi, and has achieved this unique combination of Messi10. To all this traditional circus art are added small games with freestyle balls – it is impossible not to include them -, more or less the protagonist depending on the paintings, and often combined with other circus disciplines. And this is because each scene is organized around a value or attribute of Messi, which it seeks to express. One, perseverance, hard work, constant training: “17 years of hard work brought Leo Messi to become a success overnight,” the screen says, among other things. The two, they said from the production, are what the star asked to be highlighted when he joined the production of the show.
