From Dreamy Risotto to Parsnip Piccata, Philadelphia’s Pietramala Puts Plants First
For them, a parsnip can become as tender and flavorful of a piccata as any cut of veal.

The leaders of Egypt, Somalia and Eritrea – countries which all have strained relations with Ethiopia – have been meeting in the Eritrean capital, Asmara. “This is an axis against [Ethiopian capital] Addis Ababa,” Hassan Khannenje, director of the Horn International Institute for Strategic Studies, told the BBC’s Focus on Africa programme. "We are not determined to instigate anything against Addis Ababa," he told Focus on Africa. This was Sisi’s first visit to Asmara, while the Somali president had already been three times this year.

Egypt, Somalia and Eritrea close ranks to stem Ethiopia's expansionism
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al Sisi arrived today in Asmara, Eritrea, to meet with Eritrean President Isasias Afwerki. Egypt, according to the same source, also reiterated its opposition to Ethiopia's military presence on the Red Sea. In addition to the common Ethiopian threat, the thaw in relations between Cairo and Mogadishu's historic ally: Turkey, has also brought the positions of Egypt and Somalia closer. A thaw that was sanctioned by the recent visit to Ankara by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al Sisi (the first since 2014). The talks between Egypt and Eritrea follow a surprise visit to Asmara in August by Egyptian intelligence chief Kamal Abbas, who is very close to President Al Sisi, accompanied by Foreign Minister Abdelatty.

Rare Ethiopian Beta Israel Sacred Texts to be Released Online by National Library of Israel
Photo Credit: Michael ZekriThe National Library of Israel (NLI), the Ethiopian Jewry Heritage Center, and the Orit Guardians program at Tel Aviv University, have announced a new digitization project to scan and make available the rare holy books and manuscripts of the Beta Israel community. Until now, most of these items were held by the community’s Kesim (clergy) in private homes, or in Beta Israel synagogues, but were not accessible to the public at large. Scanning is being conducted jointly by NLI and the Ethiopian Jewry Heritage Center. It was donated by the Beta Israel to the Library in 2016. Naftali Avraham, Director General of the Ethiopian Jewry Heritage Center, says that documenting and preserving the Ethiopian Jewish bookshelf is one of the Center’s primary objectives.

Egypt, Somalia leaders visit Eritrea amid regional tensions
It bases its findings on a range of sources including interviews with victims and witnesses, submissions and satellite imagery. The COI has previously alleged that both Israel and Hamas committed war crimes in the early stages of the Gaza war, and that Israel’s actions also constituted crimes against humanity because of the immense civilian losses. The term is reserved for the most serious international crimes knowingly committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack against civilians. The COI has accused Israel of obstructing its work and preventing investigators from accessing both Israel and the Palestinian territories. Sometimes, the evidence gathered by such UN-mandated bodies has formed the basis for war crimes prosecutions and could be drawn on by the International Criminal Court.

Egypt, Eritrea, Somalia forge closer ties in volatile Horn
NAIROBI: The leaders of Egypt, Eritrea and Somalia pledged Thursday to work together on regional security at an unprecedented summit held against a backdrop of heightened tensions in the Horn of Africa. Thursday’s summit in Asmara signalled the forging of a new regional alliance in the Horn, with Ethiopia — Africa’s second-most populous nation — left out in the cold. Relations have soured dramatically between Ethiopia and neighboring Somalia, which was enraged by the Somaliland maritime deal and has since moved closer to Addis Ababa’s longtime regional rival Cairo. Relations between Addis Ababa and Asmara have also been deteriorating recently, even though Eritrean troops backed Ethiopian government forces in the brutal 2020-2022 war against Tigrayan rebels. Analysts say Eritrea was not happy with the peace agreement between Addis Ababa and Asmara’s longstanding enemy the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), and still has troops in parts of Tigray.

Ethio Telecom to Kickstart Ethiopian Securities Exchange with 10% Listing
Ethio Telecom will be the first company to list on the Ethiopian Securities Exchange (ESX), the country’s new bourse kicks off next week. The revelation was made by Brook Taye, CEO of the state investment arm Ethiopia Investment Holdings, to Reuters. Ethio Telecom enjoyed a virtual monopoly until the government granted a license to Kenya’s Safaricom in 2022 as part of ongoing economic reforms to foster competition by privatising previously protected sectors. In September, Ethio Telecom CEO Frehiwot Tamru said that the telco will aim for 75% growth over the next year by enhancing its existing services, launching new offerings, and expanding enterprise solutions. “We’re seeing banks in our neighbourhood looking at Ethiopia, we’re seeing North African banks looking at Ethiopia, and some of household banks in West Africa also looking at Ethiopia,” Taye added.

Egypt, Somalia, and Eritrea Forge Alliance Amidst Ethiopia Tensions
Egypt, Somalia, and Eritrea Forge Alliance Amidst Ethiopia TensionsASMARA, Eritrea - In a significant diplomatic move, Egypt, Somalia, and Eritrea have solidified their alliance, escalating regional tensions primarily directed against Ethiopia. Somalia, feeling its sovereignty threatened by Ethiopia's recognition of Somaliland, has found common cause with Egypt, leading to increased military cooperation. Notably, Egypt has begun deploying military equipment and personnel to Somalia, not only to bolster its military but also as a strategic message to Ethiopia. The Eritrean President, known for his reserved foreign policy, sees this alliance as a means to counterbalance Ethiopia's regional maneuvers. Such an alliance could reshape the geopolitical dynamics of the Horn of Africa, influencing everything from trade routes to military alliances.

Egypt's El Sisi and Somalia's Mohamud head to Eritrea for talks as Ethiopia relations sour
Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El Sisi arrived in Eritrea's capital Asmara on Thursday for talks with his Eritrean counterpart Isaias Afwerki, the Egyptian presidency said. Their visit comes during heightened turmoil in the Horn of Africa amid multiple wars and disputes that have changed the region’s dynamics significantly. Egypt then began conducting talks with Eritrea in September to explore increased military and intelligence ties, Egyptian former assistant foreign minister Rakha Ahmed Hassan told The National. Eritrea and Ethiopia have had a historically fraught relationship, which was described by the United States Institute of Peace as more akin to a rivalry in a 2023 report. Egypt and Eritrea have maintained strong diplomatic relations since Eritrea's independence from Ethiopia in 1993.

JFNA supported hundreds of events in US, Canada to memorialize Oct. 7
Two years have passed since the murder of Jina (“Mahsa”) Amini, a young Kurdish-Iranian woman, at the hands of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s morality police. Amini was brutalized and killed for allegedly wearing her hijab, or head-covering, improperly – the sort of “crime” that sends a backward theocracy apoplectic with rage. Her death sparked the “Women, Life, Freedom” movement, the latest and perhaps most significant wave of protest among the millions of ordinary Iranians who have been clamoring for regime change for well over a decade, but who have so far been unable to dislodge the ruling mullahs.
