Ethiopia announces completion of filling of disputed Nile dam
The dam has been topic of dispute between Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan. The negotiations are on an agreement over the Nile water that takes into account water needs of all three countries. Both countries have repeatedly asked Ethiopia to stop filling the dam until the three countries reach agreement. "It is with great pleasure that I announce the successful completion of the fourth and final filling of the Renaissance Dam," Ethiopia Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed said on X, formerly Twitter. The country views Ethiopia's dam as an existential threat since Egypt relies on Nile for 97 per cent of its water needs.

DAYTON EATS: Ethnosh Dayton returns in October after long hiatus
At the beginning of 2020 I wrote the following:Ethnosh Dayton is on a roll and it’s showing no signs of stopping. With that Ethnosh and so many other wonderful things we all loved and enjoyed came to an end. So when I heard that Ethnosh — one of my favorite food events before the pandemic — was returning after a three-and-a-half year hiatus I was absolutely thrilled. There will be new flavors and textures to be enjoyed along with different styles of dining and a sense of discovery in our wonderful community. Dining is family style, so it’s easy to meet others from Dayton who share an interest in food and people.
