Republicans Thursday picked a trailblazing Black Israeli immigrant to run for the seat left vacant by the expulsion of disgraced ex-GOP Rep. George Santos, a source familiar with the decision told the Daily News. Mazi Malesa Pilip, an Ethiopian-born Orthodox Jew and Israeli military veteran, will get the Republican and Conservative party nods even though she has long been registered as a Democrat. The winner will serve out the remainder of Santos’ original two-year term, which expires at the end of next year. Suozzi will go into the race as the favorite given he won the seat three times previously and is far better known. Unlike a normal congressional election, party leaders unilaterally get to pick the candidates in a special election without voters taking part in a primary election first.

New York Republicans have selected Nassau County legislator Mazi Melesa Pilip as their nominee in the special election to replace ousted GOP Rep. George Santos, setting the stage for a competitive race in February. County party leaders selected Pilip, an Ethiopian immigrant who served as a paratrooper in the Israel Defense Forces, one week after Democratic leaders selected former Rep. Tom Suozzi as their nominee for the special election on Feb. 13. Kellen Curry, another Republican candidate for the seat, told NBC News that GOP leaders informed him they had picked Pilip for the special election. During the GOP selection process, Politico reported that Pilip is actually a registered Democrat. Santos also embellished much of his background, so local party leaders were focused on carefully vetting their potential candidates.

JOHANNESBURG, Dec 14 (Reuters) - Ethiopia's government told bondholders on Thursday it was hoping to negotiate a rework of its single international bond quickly and was set to include a form of "loss reinstatement" provision for investors, three sources attending the call told Reuters. However, it included a reference to a "loss reinstatement" provision to compensate bondholders if Ethiopia were to suffer another default that would affect bonds issued after the rework. However, the provision outlined by the government was not offering exactly what bondholders had envisaged, two of the sources said. Ethiopia requested debt relief under the G20's Common Framework in early 2021, but progress was initially delayed by the war. It agreed a debt service suspension with its official creditors ahead of negotiating more debt relief with them.

Ethiopia’s efforts in establishing a secure routing infrastructure underscores its dedication to maintaining a reliable and resilient Internet landscape,” added Dawit. According to the report, there is only one percent adoption of IPv6 in Ethiopia and a four percent average in Africa.

The Internet Society Pulse Country Report for Ethiopia highlights that governments, technology stakeholders, and industry players must work together to prioritize competition and open the market to increase Internet resilience.

Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said Wednesday that around 200 members of the ADF rebels affiliated with the Islamic State group were killed in Ugandan-led airstrikes in September in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Originally mainly Muslim Ugandan rebels, the ADF (Allied Democratic Forces) have been active since the mid-1990s in eastern DRC, where they have killed thousands of civilians. “We carried out air attacks against terrorists in Congo,” President Yoweri Museveni declared on X (ex-Twitter), before asserting that “about 200 of them were killed” in strikes carried out on September 16. Contacted by AFP, the spokesperson for the Ugandan army, Felix Kulayigye, clarified that the president was referring to the ADF rebels. The leader of the ADF rebel group accused of the murders was arrested in early November by Kampala.

Northern Ethiopia has been beset with acute food shortages since the onset of the Tigray War in November 2020. For much of the war, the region was under a blockade, which effectively halted humanitarian aid and created famine-like conditions. The famine is now widespread across at least 12 districts in Tigray. According to the district’s administration, 111 people have died from starvation alone in the last three months. In another nearby district called Abergele, local officials say 76 have died.
