ADDIS ABABA, May 21 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese-built Ethiopia-Djibouti railway has significantly reduced logistics time and costs, boosting Ethiopia's import and export trade, according to the Ethio-Djibouti Standard Gauge Railway Share Company (EDR).

As of April 2, 62% of American Jews believe Israel has responded to Hamas’ attack in an “acceptable” way. But as a peace and religion scholar, I know that some U.S. Jews’ involvement in Palestinian solidarity movements began years before the current war. My 2019 book, “Days of Awe,” examines American Jewish critics of Israeli policy and Zionism – support for a Jewish state in the Middle East. I didn’t want to do nothing.”For these interviewees, discriminatory or violent policies contradict their understanding of Jewish values, which they assert by standing in solidarity with Palestinians. Doykayt is just one example of how these activists embrace often-overlooked aspects of Jewish history, including marginalized voices such as Arab Jews and Ethiopian Jews, as they discover new ways to live their Jewish values.

Three Decades of Ethnic PoliticsThis year marks the 30th anniversary of the institutionalization of ethnic federalism or, as many proponents call it, multinational federalism. Multinational federalism is just one form; multicultural federalism another. Flawed by DesignFederalism is not inherently divisive, but ethnic federalism is. But before that process even begins, we must change the practices that sustain the current political order.
