The Resurgence of Fano & Prospects of the Amhara Existential Struggle
By Desalegn BiraraFollow him on XIntroductionThe existential threat that the Amhara people faced gave rise to Fano movement & armed struggle. Currently, political leaders claim to be Fano, and Fano leaders claim to be politicians, confusing their roles and leveraging Fano for influence. However, Amhara nationalism can be defined to embrace all positive aspects of the “Ethiopia-destination” approach, including redefining who is Amhara. This dichotomous view on Amhara nationalism might divide Fano accordingly, regardless of its historical genesis and its virtues as a common heritage of all Amhara people. Hence, preservation of Fano’s unity and strategic agreement on the dialectic view of Amhara nationalism will have determining roles in the existential struggle.

Ethiopia’s currency dives by 30% as IMF-backed reforms to stabilize the economy take effect
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Ethiopia’s currency lost 30% of its value Tuesday, the day after the central bank began implementing a flexible exchange rate policy backed by the International Monetary Fund as part of new measures to stabilize the eastern African nation’s economy. Following the currency float, the birr depreciated by 30% in the official market against major foreign currencies. Ethiopia has long faced a critical shortage of foreign currency. For over a year, the gap between the official exchange rate and the parallel market rate soared, a disparity the government expects to narrow after the reforms. “The floating was overdue as the parallel black market had reached its ceiling due to cash shortages in the economy,” said Samson Berhane, an economist based in Addis Ababa.

Ethiopia's currency dives by 30% as IMF-backed reforms to stabilize the economy take effect – KION546
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia (AP) — Ethiopia’s currency has lost 30% of its value the day after the central bank began implementing a flexible exchange rate policy backed by the International Monetary Fund as part of new measures to stabilize the eastern African nation’s economy. Mamo Mihretu, governor of the National Bank of Ethiopia, said in a televised address Monday that the reforms “will introduce a competitive, market-based determination of the exchange rate and address a long-standing distortion within the Ethiopian economy.” Commercial banks can set the price of foreign exchange and non-bank entities are permitted to operate forex bureaux for the first time, a historic change in a country where the government for decades fixed those prices allowing their black market to flourish.

Ethiopia gets glimpse of I Ching through art
An exhibition of paintings of ancient Chinese characters was held on July 13 in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, with the aim of enhancing people-to-people and cultural exchanges. Speaking at the event, its coordinator Gossa Oda says the exhibition was a platform to showcase cultural commonalities and shared knowledge between the two countries. “In organizing this exhibition, I wanted to convey the ancient mystery of I Ching, which helps enhance connectivity between Ethiopia and China and promote their shared future. A shared future starts from shared knowledge,” says Oda, who is also the owner of the Medemer Africa Art and Sculpture Space, where the 64 paintings are housed. “The paintings are meaningful in illustrating that China and Ethiopia both have ancient histories in traditional art,” Wu says.

In a statement, the group accused Ethiopian Airlines of “facilitating their use in experimental procedures.”Earlier this month, two American and a UK citizen were arrested in Addis Abeba as they were preparing to stage a demonstration outside the airline’s headquarters demanding the Airlines to stop shipping endangered monkeys. However, Ethiopian Airlines claims the specific reasons were not properly communicated and said that it is “currently seeking clarification“. The CEO mentioned that in March, Eritrea’s Civil Aviation Authority had sent a letter to Ethiopian Airlines concerning luggage mishandling and requesting compensation for affected passengers.
