Upstream Costs, Downstream Gains: Toward a Just Payment System for Ecosystem Services

#Ethiopia: The Blue Nile River, rising from the Ethiopian highlands, is a vital artery of water for the northeastern African region. Contributing nearly 85 percent of the Nile River's total flow, the Blue Nile is indispensable to the livelihoods, agriculture, and economies of Sudan and Egypt. Yet, the burden of conserving the watershed that sustains this mighty river falls almost entirely on Ethiopia. This article explores the imbalance in responsibility and proposes a fairer, cooperative framework for safeguarding the Nile's future.
The Ethiopian highla...

On World Refugee Day: Solidarity Matters More than Ever

#Ethiopia: The headlines surrounding refugees over the last year have been increasingly bleak. The war in Sudan, now in its third year, continues to rage. It has led to the largest displacement crisis in the world, with over 4 million people seeking safety in neighbouring countries. The conflict in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo has sent more than 140,000 people fleeing across borders since the start of this year. And as violence flares up in South Sudan, thousands more are threatened with exile.  
At the same time the region faces a humanitari...

“Not Just Symbolic Act”: What Will Somaliland’s Recognition Mean for the Horn?

#Ethiopia: Last week, a US Congressman introduced the ‘Somaliland Independence Act’ to congress, potentially bringing Washington one step closer to becoming the first to recognize Somaliland as a sovereign state and ending the breakaway territory’s decades-long quest for full independence.
If it goes ahead, recognition would undoubtedly have huge implications for regional geopolitics, affecting not only Somalia, but Ethiopia, Djibouti, and regional powers across the Red Sea.

TPLF’s splinter party: A force for change or a federal Trojan horse in Tigray?

#Ethiopia: Disclaimer
Before diving into the substance of this article, I feel compelled to make an important clarification. I am one of the founders and the former chairman of Solidarity of Tigrayans for Independence and Liberty, an organization widely known by its Tigringa name, Simret. Based in the United States, our global movement was established in support of the cause of Tigrayan independence. To our surprise, a new political party recently formed by a splinter group from the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) has adopted not only our name b...

An Ethiopian Interlude: Birds, Blight, and the Blunt Edge of Progress

#Ethiopia: Last week, a day like all days, though perhaps less futile than most. I was out for a walk. Some call it a scholarly pursuit; others, a mere diversion. Here, in this very land of origins, Ethiopia. My mission, if one dares dignify it with such a term, was to pair endemic birds with their endemic trees. A noble endeavor, one might presume; to find some endemic knot, some apotropaic fons et origo for these feathered and arboreal denizens. A bulwark, you understand, against the creeping chaos. One seeks a pattern, or, failing that, a flicker of me...

Swedish NGO Affirms Continued Operations Amid Humanitarian Funding Drought

#Ethiopia: Reach for Change, a Sweden-based NGO, says global humanitarian funding cuts have resulted in increased competition for financing in Ethiopia.
“We are seeing increased competition for funding sources that have not been cut. For example, we know that USAID has reduced its funding, which has placed additional pressure on alternative sources like the EU and other donors. However, from Reach for Change’s perspective, this has not affected us, and we do not foresee any impact on our operations in Ethiopia in the foreseeable future,” said Hristina Po...

The Role of Elites

#Ethiopia: A Call for Purpose Over Power
The Ethiopian National Dialogue Commission recently held its latest round of agenda-setting sessions, gathering an array of participants—federal officials, regional representatives, religious leaders, and heads of political and civil institutions. During the opening remarks, a prominent journalist made an intriguing statement: “This conference is truly unique in its nature, for it has brought together the elites at one table... This is because the problem in this country lies with the elites.”
The sentiment echoe...

Ethiopia and South Africa: shared struggles in transitional justice

#Ethiopia: A little over a year after Ethiopia adopted its landmark Transitional Justice Policy, the country is grappling with how to proceed while battling ongoing unresolved tensions. In this moment of uncertainty, Ethiopia can draw lessons from other contexts such as South Africa.
For both countries, reckoning with the past is foundational to their longer-term aspirations. South Africa’s three decades-long transition offers useful lessons on what to do (and what not to do), how to sequence the process, and which components are vital to success.
In Ma...

Warholm Breaks World 300m Hurdles Best in Oslo

#Ethiopia: (Source: World Athletics Federation)
Karsten Warholm gave the packed crowd at the 60th edition of the Bislett Games in Oslo the performance they craved in the latest Wanda Diamond League meeting as he set a 300m hurdles world best of 32.67, becoming the first athlete to better 33 seconds in this event.
It was the final event of a programme that had seen Mondo Duplantis set two meeting records in the men’s pole vault, Kenya’s Faith Cherotich set a women’s 3000m steeplechase meeting record and world lead of 9:02.60 and Emmanuel Wanyonyi, Isaac ...

Education as a site of oppression and liberation

#Ethiopia: An Ethiopian crisis through Freire’s lens
Ethiopia’s education system, lauded for its rapid expansion over the past decades, now faces an existential crisis that threatens to undo its progress. While access has increased dramatically—from primary to tertiary levels—the quality and relevance of education have deteriorated sharply. The latest examination results, revealing that only 3.2% of students passed the national exam, serve as a stark indicator of systemic failure.  Beneath these statistics lies a deeper, more troubling reality: education...

Africa’s AgriTech Generation Rising: Youth, Agriculture, and the Innovation Imperative​

#Ethiopia: Africa is home to the world’s fastest-growing population, with over 60 percent of its people under the age of 25. Yet, as climate change, resource scarcity, and outdated infrastructure strain food systems, millions of young Africans remain excluded from agricultural markets, technology, and finance. For many, agriculture is seen as either unappealing or unprofitable, contributing to a widening skills gap in the sector.
But a quiet revolution is underway—led by Africa’s youth.
Across the continent, a new generation of agri-tech entrepreneurs i...
