#NewsAlert: #IGAD “diligently monitoring” developments between #Ethiopia, #Somalia; ‘recognizes the potential implications for regional stability’
IGAD’s statement came one day after Somalia has rejected a “historic” MoU signed between Ethiopia and #Somaliland granting Ethiopia access to the sea in return for international recognition for Somaliland. Somalia has also recalled its Ambassador to Addis Abeba, Abdullahi Warfa “for consultations.”
IGAD said it was “diligently monitoring the situation and recognizes the potential implications for regional stability” but made no reference of the MoU between Ethiopia and Somaliland.
Furthermore, the regional bloc said that given the circumstances, Dr. Workneh “urges IGAD leaders to be seized, and appeals to the two sisterly countries to collaborate towards a peaceful and amicable resolution of the situation, upholding the shared values that unite the IGAD family.” https://wp.me/p7BpQh-aye

Editorial: After hundreds die of #starvation in #Ethiopia, millions more are in grave danger. Stop denial and declare a national emergency before too late!
After millions of Ethiopians have fallen victims of the 1984 #famine, including the death by starvation of up to a million, it has to be acknowledged that the recent reports of death by starvation in #Amhara and #Tigray regions are the first to have been officially admitted by regional authorities.
Failing to properly understand the severity of the crisis, or admit the death of helpless civilians by starvation will significantly hamper the response to the catastrophe. Millions are on the verge of death. Authorities must stop wrangling over the semantics of denoscription and declare the crisis a national emergency in order to coordinate appropriate responses before it is too late. https://wp.me/p7BpQh-avt

#Sudan Recalls Envoy to #Kenya Over Reception of RSF Commander
The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced the recall of its ambassador to Kenya, Kamal Jubbara, following the reception accorded to Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo "Hemetti," the leader of the Rapid Support Forces (#RSF), by the Kenyan government.
Foreign Minister Ali Al-Sadiq expressed Sudan's disapproval through a formal statement, indicating that the recall is a diplomatic gesture of protest against the recognition given to Hemetti by Kenya, despite Sudan's position on the RSF's conduct.
Moreover, the Foreign Minister criticized the Kenyan government for overlooking the RSF's alleged role in committing serious abuses, including damage to infrastructure and civilian properties. The ambassador's consultations will review Sudan's diplomatic stance towards Kenya, amid accusations of Kenyan support for the paramilitary group.
The incident follows Hemetti's series of meetings with regional leaders in #Ethiopia, #Uganda, #Djibouti, #South_Africa, where he received varying levels of reception. It also comes after Sudan's Sovereign Council President Abdel Fattah al-Burhan's prior warnings against treating Hemetti as a legitimate state representative, with implications for Sudan's diplomatic responses.

#Ethiopia’s bond bust: A decade from darling to default
A decade after Ethiopia's $1 billion #Eurobond debut, which attracted more than double the offering, investor confidence is shaken. In December 2023, Ethiopia announced its intention to postpone its coupon payment, stirring global market concerns about investment implications in #Africa's second-most populous nation.
Experts are assessing if this marks a "technical default" or "contractual default." Henok Fasil from the #World_Bank clarifies that Ethiopia is in a technical default with a 30-day grace period before it potentially becomes a full contractual default.
Ethiopia's debt renegotiation efforts under the G20's Common Framework have been met with a mix of challenges and temporary relief. In 2023, #China granted a one-year debt repayment postponement, followed by other government creditors agreeing to a suspension of debt services, excluding China. Ethiopia's proactive measures have secured over $1.5 billion in temporary debt relief, aiming to avoid default.
Despite these efforts, the nation defaulted on its December coupon payment, signaling a willingness to discuss potential mitigation strategies with bondholders. Experts advocate for comprehensive debt restructuring and structural reforms to enhance tax administration and boost private sector growth. They stress that the sovereign default impacts Ethiopia's economic prospects, increasing the cost of future borrowing and hindering foreign investment. It may also lead to reduced ability to finance essential projects and attract foreign assistance, with long-term consequences for vital sectors.
