News: Prominent #Oromo scholar Alemayehu Diro under police custody for more than ten days, denied right to appear before court

By Getahun Legesse

Oromia regional state security forces have placed distinguished Oromo scholar Alemayehu Diro under custody as of 29 September 2022; he has since been denied of the right to appear before court, his wife Lakech Hailu confirmed to Addis standard.

Alemayehu, 53, an anthropologist, economist, influential business person and a father of six, was taken from his residence in Burayu town in Oromia Special Zone Surrounding Finfinne, near the capital Addis Abeba and detained at the Burayu district police station. His wife Lakech said that a group of Oromia regional state security forces took him on 29 September.

“A group of people wearing security uniform appeared at our gate at 6:00 AM and asked for the whereabouts of Alemayehu. They broke into our residence without a court order. I asked [them] to know why he was needed, the only reason they gave was that ‘we are hiding people and tools in our home’. I am not sure what they meant by ‘tools’. They checked the house and inside our car, but they couldn’t find anything,” Lakech said.

#Ethiopia: My patients are doomed to die in #Tigray blockade

Dr Fasika Amdeslasie speaks in a matter-of-fact voice, but what he has to say is devastating.

"We have a lack of anaesthesia drugs, lack of intravenous fluids, lack of antibiotics and so you see complications arising [with] the patients and you see them dying helplessly - your arms folded," the surgeon says on a WhatsApp call using a rare satellite internet connection from the Tigrayan capital, Mekelle.

The patients are helpless but the doctors are too.

Nevertheless, there is barely a hint of emotion as Dr Fasika, who works at Mekelle's main Ayder Hospital, relates the impact of the conflict in Tigray on the region's health service.

For most of the past two years Tigray has been isolated from the rest of the world.

#SouthSudan to expel #Eritrean and #Ethiopian migrants

South Sudan’s immigration body says it will deport more than 20 foreign nationals, mainly Eritreans and Ethiopians, who entered the country illegally.

They were arrested on arrival at Juba International Airport a few days ago and were said to have entered the country without passports or travel documents, local media reported.

The migrants had come from Sudan's capital Khartoum to seek refuge in South Sudan, and had boarded local flights to Juba from Bentiu and Paloch towns in northern South Sudan, an immigration official said.

Top Migrant Trafficker Arrested in #Ethiopia: #Italy

Temesghen Ghebru Ghebremedhin, 35, is "considered a key member of a vast transnational organization dedicated to smuggling migrants from North #Africa to #Europe," one of the sources told Reuters.

The #Eritrean suspect was captured at Addis Abeba airport and charged with international organized crime membership and abetting illegal migration.

Judges in Palermo, Sicily, had issued an arrest warrant for Temesghen and several other alleged human traffickers in 2020, the sources said.

Temesghen was on #Interpol's "red notice" fugitives list and was stopped while on his way to #Australia, where other members of his alleged criminal group operate, the sources added. https://www.voaafrica.com/a/eritrean-migrant-trafficker-arrested-in-ethiopia-/6785518.html

Business: #Ethiopia exports US$13 million worth electricity to #Sudan, #Djibouti in two months

The amount generated was out of the planned US$18.55 million by supplying more than 349.56 million kilowatt hours of electricity to Sudan and Djibouti in the two months of the current Ethiopian fiscal year.

The state owned utility has instead supplied 232.76 million kilowatt hours of electricity, cashing in 13.04 million US dollars, which amounts to 70.29% of the target.

Compared to the plan, the sale was US$5.5 million or 29.71 percent less than the plan, whereas the electricity exported was 116.8 million kilowatt hours, a decline by 33.42% than the plan.

Analysis: Eastern #Oromia residents agonize from fresh mass detention, forced conscription; zonal officials deny multiple accounts

Residents of #EastHararghe and #WestHararghe in eastern Oromia who spoke with Addis Standard say communities are reeling from a fresh wave of conscription of the youth into the military, mass arrest, the snatching of young people at checkpoints and hunting young men and women door to door.

However, officials of the Zonal police and local administration who spoke with Addis Standard denied the accusations.

The information comes in the backdrop of multiple armed conflicts between the federal and regional government security forces and various armed groups in different parts of the country most notably in Oromia regional state as well as regions such as #BenishangulGumuz and #Gambella that are ongoing in the shadow of the 21-months war which started in #Tigray, and little attention from the mainstream independent media.

Trio of yellow, blue and green lakes in #Ethiopia stuns in striking satellite image

A trio of technicolor lakes in Ethiopia, each one a different color from the others, is visible in stunning detail in a satellite image recently released by #NASA. The unusual colors are the result of numerous factors, including water chemistry, depth and inhabiting wildlife.

The three lakes are Lake #Shala, which has a deep blue hue; Lake #Abijatta, which is green in color; and Lake #Langano, which has a sandy-yellow hue similar to the surrounding land. The lakes are located in Ethiopia's Great Rift Valley, around 124 miles (200 kilometers) south of the capital, #AddisAbeba.

#Ethiopia - #Oromia: Drought pushes more and more girls into child marriage, but not for girls like Fiinxee

Meet 17-year-old Fiinxee. She was married off at the tender young age of 13. She does not even know how old her husband was.

“My family married me off because of the drought and they had no income,” said Fiinxee. “They needed the dowry, so they sold me off.” Fiinxee is from an area in Oromia region which experiences recurrent drought. This year, Ethiopia has been hit by the worst drought in 40 years.

***
“I was so stressed and scared on the day of the marriage,” said Fiinxee. “As soon as the marriage began, I could not cope. I could not survive in the house and could not even manage basic household duties.”

But Fiinxee was lucky. After, being stuck in the marriage for 8 months, she heard from her neighbors that she could get help and get out of the marriage. She went to the local authorities, and they immediately helped her and a few weeks later, her marriage was legally cancelled in court.

News: Member of #OLF central committee, author Moibon Bekele shot dead in Addis Abeba

By Natnael Fite

Moibon Bekele, a member of the central committee of the opposition Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) and an author, has been shot dead near his residence in Addis Abeba on the night of 12 October.

Moibon was taken to Abet Hospital for life-saving treatment after being shot by unidentified men around his residence in Sansusi area on the evening of Wednesday, but could not be saved, his friend Lelisa Idris told Addis Standard.

“I don’t know exactly what the circumstances were but he was hit sometime between 7:00 PM and 8:00 PM [local time]. When I was told he had been shot, I ran to Abet Hospital. He was alive when I arrived. He was pronounced dead at about 11:30 PM.” His body was taken today to his hometown in Nekemte city, east Wollega zone of Oromia regional state, Lelisa said, adding “so far, nothing is known about who actually shot him. Burayu police has taken up the case.”

The OLF has issued a statement late yesterday as soon as the news of his shooting was heard, saying it had information that Moibon had been shot and was in hospital for treatment. “Many of our members and officials have been subjected to similar situations in this country,” the statement said, and condemned such acts “specifically against its members and officials”.

News: #Ethiopia puts #Ireland on notice, threatens to cut ties for alleged “attack against its sovereignty, territorial integrity”

Ethiopian Deputy PM and Foreign Affairs Minister Demeke Mekonnen wrote a letter to the Irish government threatening to cut diplomatic ties if the country does not refrain from undermining Ethiopia’s “sovereignty and territorial integrity.”

Ethiopia also accused Ireland of having the “intent on emboldening the TPLF and calling for coercive actions against Ethiopia using its membership in the UNSC.”

This is the second diplomatic rupture between the two countries in a span of a year. In November last year the Ethiopian government had informed Ireland’s Embassy in Addis Abeba that four of the six Irish diplomats serving at the Embassy must leave the country within one week.
