Nearly 1,500 IDPs return to Tigray’s Tselemti district ‘cautiously’ despite lingering fears
He further specified that the total number of returnees to Tselemti district from the first batch is between 8,500 and 10,000. “A comprehensive and expedited approach is crucial for a successful IDP repatriation program, which is vital for lasting peace in Tigray,” Tadele added. This plan outlined the timeframe for the return of IDPs to their homes in southern and western Tigray. According to the agreement, IDPs would be resettled in Southern Tigray by early June 2024 and in Western Tigray by early July 2024. These demonstrations called for a two-fold solution: the resumption of suspended humanitarian aid and the facilitation of their safe return to their homes.

Ethiopia, Djibouti strengthen ties amid ongoing high-level visits
One of these is the recent announcement made by Djibouti Ports Corridor Road (DPCR), a body that was founded under the Djibouti Ports and Free Zones Authority (DPFZA) a few years ago with the goal of modernizing the logistics roads corridor. Taye toured a number of port facilities on his first visit to Djibouti after being appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs. There are concerns in the economic and national interest between the two countries, according to those who closely monitor their relationship and the logistics industry. “The road condition in Djibouti is one of the issues,” they added, referring to Ethiopia and Ethiopian clients, who use Djibouti ports for the majority of their imports. ESL, the only multimodal operator, was the only NVOCC in Djibouti according to the agreement reached in 2006.

US to criminally charge Boeing over two fatal 737 Max crashes and seek guilty plea, sources say
“The underlying outrageous piece of this deal is that it doesn’t acknowledge that Boeing’s crime killed 346 people,” said Paul Cassell, one of the lawyers for victims’ families. Lawyers for the crash victims’ families expect that would be done for Boeing. The Justice Department is likely to seek another, similar penalty as part of the new plea offer, said a person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing case. The Justice Department gave no indication of moving to prosecute any current or former Boeing executives, another long-sought demand of the families. It is also unclear what impact a plea deal might have on other investigations into Boeing, including those following the blowout of a panel from the side of a Boeing Max 9 during an Alaska Airlines flight in January.

Old video shows demonstration in Ethiopia, not anti-tax protests in KenyaOld footage of a large crowd marching down a road in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa has resurfaced in social media posts that falsely claimed it showed anti-government protesters in Kenya's capital Nairobi in June 2024. The video has circulated online since September 2018, during an outbreak of deadly ethnic violence on the outskirts of Addis Ababa. But the video circulating online was in fact filmed in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa. Addis Ababa rallyA reverse image search using keyframes from the clip led to a YouTube video titled "Addis Ababa at the moment", which was uploaded on September 17, 2018 (archived link). The footage circulating online corresponds to the 39-second section of the YouTube video beginning at its 28-second mark.

US set to criminally charge Boeing with fraud
The proposed agreement also includes a $US487.2 million ($A730.2 million) financial penalty, only half of which Boeing would be required to pay, they added. That is because prosecutors are giving the company credit for a payment it made as part of the previous settlement related to the fatal crashes of the Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines flights. The penalty is the maximum legally allowed for the charge.

In its determination to turn the page on Brexit, Labour has ruled out rejoining the EU single market or customs union. But even such small steps would require tough choices, said an EU source, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss hypothetical future negotiations. A veterinary agreement would require Britain to submit to resolving disputes through the European Court of Justice (ECJ) the EU source said. “Working with a like-minded partner, friend and ally is what everybody wants,” said the EU source.
