Ethiopia to increase potable water supply to Djibouti
ADDIS ABABA, Jan. 23 (Xinhua) -- The Ethiopian government said improvement activities are underway with a China-funded project to increase the amount of potable water supplied to neighboring Djibouti to 100,000 cubic meters per day. The Ethiopian Ministry of Water and Energy said Sunday the Ethiopia-Djibouti cross-border potable water project, currently generating 20,000 cubic meters per day, is undergoing improvement activities to boost supplies, state-run Ethiopian News Agency (ENA) reported Tuesday. The project, contracted by the Chinese company CGC Overseas Construction Group Co. Ltd (CGCOC), has been operating since 2017. It is regarded as one of Africa's largest cross-border water projects, covering 258 kilometers from underground wells dug in Ethiopia's Somali region to Djibouti city, the capital of the Red Sea nation. With an annual average of 200 millimeters of rainwater in most of its territory, Djibouti has always been in a chronic water stress situation.

News: Ethiopia takes third place in Africa for journalist incarceration, trailing behind Eritrea and Egypt
News: Ethiopia takes third place in Africa for journalist incarceration, trailing behind Eritrea and Egypt(Photo: Innocence Project)Addis Abeba – Ethiopia has been designated as the third-worst country in Africa for the incarceration of journalists in 2023, according to a recent report by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). The tally of imprisoned Ethiopian journalists has surged to eight, underscoring the formidable challenges prevailing in the nation’s media landscape. In April last year, Ethiopian Mass Media Professionals Association (EMMPA) has called on the government to “immediately release” all media professionals that are detained by security forces “without any legal procedure”. In a statement it issued today, the Association also urged for an end to harassment and intimidation that media professionals are facing in Ethiopia. In addition, none of the journalists detained in Eritrea have faced formal charges, and some of these cases represent the longest-known instances of journalist imprisonment worldwide.

Nigeria's polluted economic hub Lagos bans styrofoam, plastics
Nigeria's Lagos State, which includes the country's sprawling economic capital of more than 20 million people, has announced a ban on styrofoam and single-use plastics to curb pollution. Many street vendors and markets in Lagos use styrofoam containers to serve and deliver food or produce and the plastic and other containers litter roads and block drains in the megapolis. "Following the menace which single-use plastics especially non-biodegradable Styrofoam are causing on the environment, the Lagos State government... is hereby announcing a ban on the usage and distribution of Styrofoam and other single-use plastics," the Lagos environment comissioner said on X. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) estimates the equivalent of 2,000 garbage trucks of plastic is dumped into the seas, rivers and lakes every day. Each year around 19-23 million tonnes of plastic waste leaks into the world's water ecosystems.

The man who captured images of a long-forgotten Ghana
For more than a decade — since Tamakloe began managing the Deo Gratias Photo Studio, which her grandfather set up in the Jamestown area of Accra, Ghana in 1922 — she has overseen an archive of some 50,000 images. “Photographers of that generation were not capturing images for recognition or with the aim of being showcased in an exhibition,” explained Muluneh. Later, he trained with J.A.C Holm (another Ghana-based photographer) for three years before establishing his own studio aged just 23. I needed to sort out the archive.”For the past 12 years, Tamakloe has been digitalizing her grandfather’s pictures. “Unveiling the Shadows of the Past: J. K. Bruce-Vanderpuije — The Hidden Icon of Photography in Africa” runs until Feb. 20, 2024 at Efie Gallery, Dubai.

Red Sea Saga: Al-Sisi Tells Ethiopian President Egypt ‘Ready to Intervene’ Against Ethiopia
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi has warned Ethiopia against attempts to violate Somalia’s territorial integrity, saying his country would ‘intervene’ if requested by Mogadishu. Al-Sisi affirmed on Sunday that Egypt stands with Somalia against any threat to its security and stability, expressing his rejection of the recent agreement signed between Somaliland and Ethiopia over a port in the Red Sea. Ethiopia currently relies on Djibouti as a major trade partner, as 95 percent of Ethiopia’s imports and exports pass through Djibouti. President Mohamud is currently on a diplomatic offensive to thwart Ethiopia’s attempts to access the Red Sea without the consent of Mogadishu. The Berbera Port has previously attracted foreign powers due to its strategic position at the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden, connecting the Arabian Sea and Indian Ocean to the Red Sea via the strait of Bab-el-Mandeb.

Hong Kong leads Asian market rally on China support hopes
Hong Kong led a rally across Asian markets Tuesday as traders were cheered by reports that Chinese authorities were considering a blockbuster boost to equities after a painful start to the year. "The market was poor enough to warrant such elevated attention -- China cannot afford to see A-shares sinking toward the Lunar New Year holidays." "Prevailing pessimism regarding the economy, policy efficacy, and reduced allocation to China by global and Asian equity funds persists," he said in a commentary. Traders had started the year on a somewhat sour note as a string of figures and warnings from Federal Reserve officials all but doused expectations rates will be cut in March and keep coming down through 2024. No matter how high interest rates go, the economy will continue to glide right through."
