#Ethiopia: Ethiopia is preparing to welcome a new calendar marking the beginning of 2016 working year as of tomorrow.
But for millions of Ethiopians who are trapped in the vicious circle of conflicts and poverty, the prospect of New Year festivities remain elusive and incomplete.
Once again, team Addis Standard pleads for an end to these sufferings and for a dawn of peace for all Ethiopians. We also call on all concerned parties to work together to ensure that Ethiopians across the country who continue yearning for peace and justice enjoy the peace they deserve in the year 2016.

Ethiopian nationals arrested in Kenya stage hunger strike, demanding speedy repatriation process
A group of #Ethiopian nationals who were arrested in #Kenya and awaiting repatriation staged a hunger strike at the Athi River police station. The group had been found confined in a residential house in #Athi_River and had escaped before being apprehended. On 11 September, they refused meals, demanding a speedy repatriation process.
Similar incidents of hunger strikes have occurred in the past, with the previous group eventually being repatriated. Dozens of Ethiopians are arrested in Kenya as they attempt to use the country as a route to other destinations such as #Tanzania, the Middle East, and #SouthAfrica.
In an effort to combat this issue, an Ethiopian national, Yibekal Gatachew, was sentenced to 31 years in prison for trafficking 12 Ethiopian immigrants. Yibekal was found with fake documents and the immigrants were eventually repatriated to Ethiopia.

#Addis_Ababa faces growing climate change risks, study warns
Addis Abeba, the capital city of #Ethiopia, is one of the fastest-growing cities in Africa. Researchers at Tufts University and the Woodwell Climate Research Center, however, say this growth will be absorbed by informal settlements, which are characterized by poor or non-existent infrastructure and face the twin challenges of worsening climate change and poor urban environmental policy.
Researchers at Tufts University and the Woodwell Climate Research Center analyzed flood risk and temperature data for different time periods, projecting from the past to the future, to investigate the city’s vulnerability to climate change. They predicted that the city’s extreme daily maximum temperatures would increase by about 1.7 °C over the period 2040–2060, compared with 2000–2020.
This increase would result in a rise in the frequency, duration, and intensity of heatwaves, which will threaten health, ecosystems, infrastructure, livelihoods, and food supplies. The city is expected to experience an additional 1.6 months of extreme drought annually between 2040 and 2060, a 53% increase compared with 2000-2020. These droughts will affect health, hydroelectric energy production and urban agriculture.

Coffee firms won't be ready to comply with #EU deforestation law - report
A new report has revealed that most global coffee firms are not prepared to comply with the European Union's (EU) new law preventing the import of commodities linked to deforestation. This could have detrimental effects on small farmers, especially in countries like #Ethiopia.
The EU's law, which is set to take effect at the end of 2024, requires importers of commodities such as coffee, cocoa, beef, soy, rubber, and palm oil to prove that their goods are not contributing to forest destruction or face significant fines.
The report, called the coffee barometer, highlights the lack of preparedness among coffee firms, which may result in them sourcing from more developed regions like #Brazil that have better traceability. This would leave millions of small-scale and poverty-stricken farmers living in countries like Ethiopia at a disadvantage.

According to Deputy Commissioner Birhanu Abebe of the Ethiopian Federal Police Commission, the police have videos showing assaults deemed too horrifying for public consumption. The abuse sometimes starts in Ethiopia and is perpetrated by Ethiopian traffickers en route to Saudi Arabia.
