#Sudan to reopen #Khartoum airport on Wednesday after 30-month closure
Airport to resume domestic flights, marking 1st reopening since fighting erupted between army and RSF in April 2023.
Sudan’s Civil Aviation Authority said Monday it will reopen Khartoum International Airport for domestic flights starting Wednesday, following a 30-month closure caused by the country’s ongoing conflict.
“The Civil Aviation Authority issued a notice announcing the resumption of domestic flights at Khartoum International Airport beginning Wednesday, Oct. 22, in accordance with approved operational procedures,” the official news agency SUNA said.
The decision confirms the airport’s readiness to gradually receive flights after completing technical and operational arrangements, the agency added.
This marks the first time Khartoum International Airport has resumed operations in more than two and a half years amid the conflict between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF).
The army and RSF have been fighting a war since April 2023 that has killed more than 20,000 people and displaced 14 million, according to the UN and local authorities. Research from US universities, however, estimates the death toll at around 130,000.
On March 27, the Sudanese army said its forces had cleared the last RSF strongholds in Khartoum province after regaining control of the airport, several security and military facilities, and neighborhoods in the capital’s east and south for the first time since April 2023.

Inside #Ethiopia’s aggressive EV revolution
As the first country in the world to ban the import of petrol and diesel vehicles, Ethiopia is creating the blueprint for electric vehicle (EV) uptake, supported by favourable government policies. It is one of several African countries to be introducing incentives to encourage EV uptake as a means of reducing fuel dependency and supporting green transport growth.
While many Ethiopians were initially reluctant to switch to EV, they are becoming a much more common sight in the capital of Addis Ababa, and public perception is slowly shifting.
While Ghana was the leader for EV uptake in 2024, with a 29.31 percent share of the continent’s EV revenue, Ethiopia is now the fastest-growing country for EV uptake, with an anticipated CAGR of 58.92 percent through 2030.
Before the introduction of the ICE vehicle import ban, EVs were extremely uncommon in Ethiopia.

News: #Ethiopia in talks with #China to convert dollar loans into Yuan
Ethiopia has begun negotiations with China to convert a portion of its $5.38 billion debt to #yuan-denominated loans, following Kenya’s recent move to diversify away from the U.S. #dollar and support China’s push to internationalize its currency.
National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) Governor Eyob Tekalign (PhD) said discussions are underway with the Export-Import Bank of China and the People’s Bank of China (PBC) for a potential currency swap. He disclosed the talks during an interview with Bloomberg on October 17 in Washington, D.C., where he attended the International Monetary Fund (IMF) annual meetings.
After his appointment as Governor of the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE), Eyob made China his first official overseas destination. On 22 September, Addis Standard reported, citing local media, that Eyob was visiting China to advance debt restructuring talks & strengthen economic cooperation.

#Geological Shock – massive rift opens in #Ethiopia within 10 days, signaling the possible birth of a new #ocean on earth
It might sound like a science fiction headline, but it’s true: Africa is slowly splitting in two. Deep beneath the surface of the continent, massive geological forces are at work, stretching the land apart in a process that could one day give rise to a brand-new ocean. This isn’t something we’ll see in our lifetime, but over millions of years, it could completely reshape the map of Africa and the world.
At the heart of this transformation is the Great Rift Valley, one of the largest and most active tectonic fault systems on the planet. Stretching over 3,000 kilometers from the Gulf of Aden down to Zimbabwe, this valley is slowly tearing the eastern part of Africa away from the rest of the continent.
In 2018, a dramatic event caught everyone’s attention: a massive crack split open in Kenya, cutting through the Nairobi-Narok highway. While it seemed sudden, it was just one visible example of a process that’s been underway for more than 25 million years.
The rate at which the African continent is splitting may seem slow: just over half a centimeter per year. But in the world of geology, that’s lightning-fast. It’s roughly the same pace at which South America once drifted away from Africa, forming the Atlantic Ocean.
Over time, this tiny annual shift adds up to massive geological change. The ground is not as solid as it seems beneath us; tectonic plates are constantly shifting, bending, and breaking. That’s how continents move, oceans form, and mountains rise.
Eventually, water from the #Red_Sea and the #Indian #Ocean could rush into the widening rift, forming a new sea or ocean. This would separate countries like #Somalia and Ethiopia from the main body of Africa, turning them into a vast island, a completely new geographical entity.

#Opinion: From Sea Access to Global Alliances: #Ethiopia’s foreign policy ambitions, missteps
Ethiopia is experiencing “a period of significant political and diplomatic unraveling” driven by “strategic miscalculations and concerning instances of brinkmanship,” writes Batseba Kassahun.
At the center is the “controversial” MoU with #Somaliland. While Ethiopia’s pursuit of port access is “a strategic imperative,” Batseba contends it was “executed without evident diplomatic forethought,” citing #Somalia’s condemnation of the deal as “a violation of international law.”
Relations with #Eritrea are also “reaching an alarming stage,” after an Ethiopian defense official called Red Sea access, particularly the #Assab Port, “a historical right” and “a matter of national survival.” Batseba concludes that “Ethiopia’s foreign policy today reveals patterns more than errors,” increasingly favoring “force over dialogue” and “symbolism over substance.”

#Japan elects first female leader, a hawk who promotes ‘Japan First’
Sanae Takaichi, a firebrand nationalist and security hawk, was chosen as prime minister of Japan on Tuesday, becoming the nation’s first female head of government during an unusually rocky time in Japanese politics.
Takaichi, 64, succeeds Shigeru Ishiba, who said last month that he would step down after bruising electoral losses that cost the long-running Liberal Democratic Party its coalition majority in both parliamentary chambers.
The parliament voted Tuesday afternoon, confirming Takaichi as the new prime minister. She will now head to a ceremony with the emperor, then her term will begin.
Takaichi will hit the ground running with high-profile diplomatic visits, including a meeting with President Donald #Trump early next week. Japanese prime ministers usually arrange a trip to Washington as early as possible in their tenure,

Around 350 families trek 50 km to escape #Sudan's El Fasher siege: UN
Approximately 350 families walked around 50 km for four days, fleeing the besieged Sudanese city of El Fasher, and arrived in the town of Tawila in a dire condition, UN humanitarians said Tuesday.
The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that mostly women, children and older people, some injured along the way, joined on Sunday and Monday the more than 600,000 people displaced from El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state, and surrounding areas now harboring in Tawila.
OCHA said that dozens of young men who fled with the group are still missing, and escalating violence deepens the already devastating humanitarian crisis in Sudan's North Darfur, as the United Nations and its partners continue to scale up their response efforts where access allows.
