These Top 3 Vegan Food Cities Are Poised to Become Blue Zones
The cities with emerging Blue Zones, and where plant-based fare is king, are Los Angeles, CA; Portland, OR; and New York City, according to the insights. The growth of vegan businesses and qualitative factors such as the ease of finding vegan options and the city’s overall engagement with veganism are also crucial components of HappyCow’s evaluation. The overlap in these methodologies suggests a significant link between the rise of vegan-friendly cities and the characteristics of Blue Zones. Moreover, the sense of community, particularly evident in the strong vegan scenes of these cities, echoes the social connectedness observed in Blue Zones. “Blue Zones exhibit a holistic approach to living at the intersection of diet and lifestyle,” Cebuliak says.

The African Union, European Union, and United States called Thursday for an immediate cease-fire and constructive dialogue between warring factions in Sudan. The groups also called for an end to tension between Somalia and Ethiopia over an agreement signed between Ethiopia and Somalia's breakaway region Somaliland. Sudan's armed forces and the rival Rapid Support Forces have been fighting for control of Sudan since April. "Guns must be silenced," he said, adding that the war endangers "stability of the entire region and beyond." Tension has been rising after land-locked Ethiopia signed an agreement on January 1 with Somaliland to give it access to the sea.

Could Ethiopia and Somalia go to war?
Mogadishu says a deal to grant Addis Ababa access to sea in Somaliland is a violation of its sovereignty. An agreement between Ethiopia and a breakaway part of Somalia is raising tension on the Horn of Africa. Somalia regards Somaliland as part of its territory, and has warned Ethiopia against interfering in its affairs.

Nigerian ex-president sent to mediate Ethiopia-Somalia tensions
In a bid to prevent the escalating tensions between Ethiopia and Somalia from spiralling into a full-blown war, the African Union's Peace and Security Council (PSC) has deployed former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo for negotiation efforts. In 1977, they disputed territory, and in 2006, Ethiopia invaded Somalia as part of the fight against terrorism. However, Somalia has declared that it will not engage in any discussions with Ethiopia unless the latter reverses its January 1 agreement with Somaliland. "The sovereignty and territorial integrity of Somalia have been violated by Ethiopia when it signed an illegal agreement with the northern region [the administration of Somaliland] of Somalia. That is why there is no room for mediation unless Ethiopia reverses its illegal agreement and reaffirms the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Somalia," stated the Somali Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

A rising female artist with exciting new tunes
The work is rooted in the Ethiopian musical tradition, yet defies the confines of a single culture. Yema was born and raised in Addis Ababa. She took a significant step into the realm of performance by joining a band at the Office Bar in Sheraton Addis. After just three months of performing at the Office Bar, she crossed paths with Eyuel, who led the Ethio Quartet band performing at Ramada Hotel in Addis Ababa. Yema’s voice and style bear an undeniable resemblance to Gigi, with numerous instances that could be perceived as imitative of the renowned artist’s sound.

Somalia blocks Ethiopian Airlines charter to Somaliland
The Somali Civil Aviation Authority (SCAA) has denied entry to a DHC-8-Q400 operated by Ethiopian Airlines (ET, Addis Ababa International) on a charter flight from Addis Ababa International to Hargeisa, capital of de facto independent Somaliland. The regulator said the flight, carrying unidentified "Ethiopian VIP" passengers, had not obtained the necessary permit to enter Somali airspace. Ethiopian Airlines confirmed that the aircraft returned to Addis Ababa "because there were doubts regarding the required permissions from Somalia, even after it had already commenced its journey". The development comes amid elevated tension between Ethiopia and Somalia in the wake of Addis Ababa's breakthrough diplomatic agreement with Somaliland on January 1. The de facto state's government is also set to get an undisclosed stake in Ethiopian Airlines.
