Boeing Chooses Ethiopia Over Kenya and South Africa for its Africa Headquarters
Boeing has selected Ethiopia as the location for its African headquarters, favoring it over Kenya and South Africa due to Ethiopia’s exemplary aviation safety record. This decision is perhaps the result of Ethiopian Airlines’ strong commitment to Boeing, including becoming the company’s first African customer for the Boeing 777X and last year’s order of 11 Boeing 787 Dreamliners and 20 Boeing 737 Max planes, despite the aerospace company’s recent challenges. To head the new establishment, Boeing appointed Henok Shawl, a former Ethiopian Airlines’ employee with extensive experience in aviation and telecommunications. Boeing projects that African carriers will need 1,030 new aircraft over the next two decades to meet international standards and its decision to set up shop on the continent is likely influenced by this development.

Nigeria Air is suspended indefinitely - aviation minister
The process of setting up Nigeria Air (NWB, Lagos) will remain suspended indefinitely as it was never a genuine Nigerian project and just Ethiopian Airlines trying to fly the Nigerian flag, according to Nigerian aviation minister Festus Keyamo. "It was not Air Nigeria [sic]. It was never Air Nigeria. Air Nigeria will be indigenous for the whole of Nigeria and for the full benefit of Nigeria, not with 60% of the profits going to another country. Nigeria Air was proposed by the previous administration under former president Muhammadu Buhari and former aviation minister Hadi Sirika.

Xi calls for more jobs for youth, migrant workers
BEIJING: China’s President Xi Jinping called on Monday for efforts to promote high-quality and sufficient jobs for college graduates and migrant workers, while presiding over a Politburo group study session, state media Xinhua reported on Tuesday. The Xinhua report did not give details on job promotion support measures or plans. The survey-based jobless rate for 16-24 year-olds, excluding college students, was 14.7 percent in April, down from 15.3 percent in March, official data showed last week. China’s statistics bureau revised its methodology by removing college students from the survey pool after youth jobless rate surged to around 20 percent last year. Xi also said the government should take steps to promote the employment of migrant workers, guide them to return to their hometowns and for people to start businesses in the countryside.

Ukrainians risk lives to flee draft via icy Romanian pass
He was one of thousands who have been fleeing secretly across the border to EU member Romania as Ukraine has tightened its draft rules. "Many of them say that they'd rather come and die on the mountain than die in the war." They risk freezing in the mountains or drowning in the Tisa River that runs along part of the northern border. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, 23 Ukrainians have been found dead on Romanian soil, border police say. Among the Ukrainians arriving there in vans and cars was a 29-year-old man travelling with his wife and daughter.

She and her colleagues use social media to campaign for gender equality online by challenging gender norms and attitudes towards women in Ethiopia, Africa’s second most populous nation. “My colleagues and I have received threats online that have become increasingly violent, especially after we engaged in social media activism regarding women’s rights,” Betelehem told AFP. “Death threats, sexual harassment, gang rape and threats of physical harm are commonplace.”Betelehem co-founded the Ethiopian Women Human Rights Defenders Network (EWHRDN) and an advocacy platform called Afro Feminism — Seta Set Power (Women in Power) in 2021. Since then, her social media and email accounts have been hacked and private information, including photos and her home address, stolen and shared online.
