#Ethiopia: Drought induced hunger claims dozens of lives, left millions at risk in #Tigray and #Amhara regions
Tragic consequences have unfolded in #Tanqua_Abergele, Tigray, where a relentless drought has led to hunger and despair. Reports reveal at least 46 individuals have succumbed to starvation, with 90,000 people caught in distress without lifesaving assistance.
The drought has decimated crops, putting over 90,000 people at risk without humanitarian aid. The impact extends beyond Tanqua Abergele, affecting 20% of Tigray's farmland, compounding the region's existing challenges due to conflict.
Neighboring Amhara region is also affected, with 40 reported deaths related to hunger. Water scarcity and lack of medicine have led to livestock fatalities. The ongoing drought has affected 1.8 million people in Amhara, adding to the loss of animals.

#Ethiopia Secures Over $350 Million for National #Digital_ID Program
Ethiopia's Fayda digital ID initiative has obtained over $350 million in supplementary donor funds, a #World_Bank planning document reveals. The biometrics-based national ID system will utilize the contributions across key components, augmenting domestic investment.
Allocations include $16 million from the World Bank's International Development Association plus $5 million more to cultivate institutional capacity and public trust. Further funds target technical infrastructure, inclusive enrollment of citizens, upgraded service delivery, and administrative needs.
By 2025, Ethiopia aims to issue digital IDs to all residents, with around 70 m projected to be registered thus far. Potential adoption barriers involve low awareness of the technologies used. Over 100 staff and numerous partner officers will support rollout.

According to well placed diplomatic sources who spoke to #Addis_Standard today, the two sides failed to pass a stalemate that intensified since yesterday “over matters of significance.”
The OLF side tabled proposals to negotiate “a substantial shift in governance”, including demands for arrangements of “inclusive governance and embrace of all political parties in Oromia”, whereas the government’s side focused on arrangements with OLA alone, similar in substance to the #Pretoria Cessation of Hostilities Agreement signed between the government and the TPLF in November last year, the sources further said. https://addisstandard.com/?p=39494

In a statement it just released, the group further said “the OLF-OLA involved its highest leadership in this round of the talks.

#Gaza truce agreed; #Palestinian prisoners to be freed

PM Netanyahu says agreement does not mean war will stop, vows Israeli military will press on after the pause in fighting.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has commended the efforts of Qatar and #Egypt in helping secure the pause in fighting, while renewing calls for a “comprehensive cessation of the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people”.

#Ethiopia-#France: Delegation of French companies to arrive in Ethiopia
Twenty French companies will begin pre-investment screening visits to Ethiopia today.
The world’s most populous landlocked country has long enjoyed an economic partnership with France. Between 1996-2020 French companies invested USD 84 million there, creating over 4000 jobs. Today’s visits follow those from French Chamber of Commerce officials in June.
Ethiopia consistently posts strong economic growth rates and boasts a young population eager to work. The country, however, is sliding towards authoritarianism and shifting away from the West. This visit from French CEO’s directly follows Ethiopia’s formal acceptance into the BRICS.
The BRICS now contain 46% of world population. The group increasingly alters trading patterns and threatens Western-led geopolitical order.

#Kenya partners with #UNDP and #World_Bank to attract $10bn in #FDI
“To unlock FDI and position Kenya as a competitive investment destination, the National Investment Council, through its Secretariat, the Kenya Investment Authority, has developed an Investment Facilitation Framework to create a transparent, predictable, efficient and trusted mechanism,” Rebecca Miano, Cabinet Secretary of Investment, Trade and Industry, said.
Ever since the Covid-19 pandemic, the government in Nairobi has struggled to attract business people from abroad, with FDI inflows going down from $1.1bn in 2019 to just $463m in 2021 before making a shy comeback in 2022 ($759m).
In June 2023, the country’s President William Ruto signed the 2023 Finance Act, which includes a series of tax and regulatory changes aimed at improving the FDI climate. According to the US Department of State, however, US businesses in Kenya continue to face bureaucratic processes and delays in accessing business licenses that allow them to operate in the country. https://www.investmentmonitor.ai/news/kenya-partners-with-undp-world-bank-to-attract-ten-billion-dollars-in-fdi/?cf-view&Top-Article-Share-Button-clicked:%20Share%20on%20X

#Ethiopia: Tourism industry, local economy faces major setback with the destruction of #Aksum Airport during the #Tigray war
The Aksum Airport, once a vital hub for tourists, has been reduced to ruins due to the devastating Tigray war, causing distress among locals and impacting the tourism sector. The closure and destruction of the airport have left the city's residents without a crucial link to the outside world, leading to economic crises for individuals and businesses.
The absence of tourists has affected the livelihoods of many, including those selling souvenirs, providing taxi services, and working at hotels and restaurants. The war has also caused damage to infrastructure and services, including telecom and internet connectivity. Stakeholders have voiced concerns about the airport's future and the need for government intervention to revive the tourism industry.
The absence of reliable transportation services has hindered the flow of both local and international tourists to the historic town of Tigray. The impact of the airport's non-operational state has led to social, economic, and psychological problems among residents. The restoration of the airport and tourism industry is crucial for the city to thrive once again.

Ongoing clashes in the Amhara region have caused severe disruptions in the healthcare sector, leading to acute shortages of medical supplies in hospitals. Health officials have expressed concerns about the scarcity of crucial medicines for chronic illnesses such as diabetes and laboratory diagnostic reagents.
Road closures caused by fighting have prevented the delivery of sufficient resupplies from the federal and regional governments, leaving hospitals in distress. The lack of adequate supplies has also impacted women and children reliant on medically prescribed supplementary feeding programs.
The Ethiopian Pharmaceutical Supply Service Agency confirmed the crisis, stating that insecurity has blocked road transport from central warehouses. Conflict-related delays continue to hinder humanitarian access to Amhara cities and towns.
