#Nigeria’s #Dangote refinery has reduced operating rates at its main gasoline-producing unit by 34% since May 21, raising concerns about fuel supply and export volumes at a time when global oil markets are already under pressure.Africa’s largest refinery has reduced operating rates at its key petrol-producing unit by 34% since May 21.
Industry monitor IIR Energy said the refinery’s Residual Fluid Catalytic Cracking Unit (#RFCCU) is expected to return to full rates by mid-June after repairs to a flue gas slide gate valve.
“Initially, lighter crude being processed resulted in insufficient feed availability for the RFCCU. However, by the end of May, IIR Energy confirmed that the RFCCU was also facing an issue with its flue gas slide gate valve. Repair work on that issue is almost complete,” Reuters quoted IIR as.....

News: #UN children’s agency warns of high humanitarian needs in #Ethiopia as it faces 81% funding shortfall
“Humanitarian needs in Ethiopia remain high due to conflict, refugee inflows, climate shocks, and economic pressures,” the agency said, adding that “insecurity in several regions disrupts livelihoods and aid delivery.”
The warning comes amid similar concerns from the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET), whose latest Ethiopia Food Security Outlook Update covering April to September 2026 highlighted the combined impacts of conflict, economic shocks, and anticipated rainfall deficits on vulnerable households.

#Opinion: From Resistance to Reconstruction: Reimagining #Ethiopian #Somali Diaspora Engagement
In this opinion piece, Hirsi Abdulkadir Mohamed contends that the Ethiopian Somali diaspora, historically united by opposition to political exclusion and advocacy for Somali political aspirations, now confronts a transformed landscape shaped by Ethiopia’s post-2018 reforms.
He explains that although the peace agreement between the #ONLF and the federal government successfully ended armed conflict and opened avenues for political participation, it has also contributed to increased political fragmentation, especially within the diaspora.
Hirsi notes that “the challenge for the Somali regional government is not simply to attract diaspora investment but to earn diaspora confidence” by demonstrating improved governance, transparency, accountability, and inclusive political engagement.

#Iran war is straining #African airlines, industry body warns
The war in Iran is driving up jet fuel prices and worsening supply strains for African airlines, forcing carriers to review routes and raising fresh concerns about the stability of the continent’s aviation network.
The African Airlines Association (#AFRAA) says the crisis has exposed its heavy dependence on imported refined jet fuel, leaving airlines vulnerable to global shocks.
African carriers were already paying about 17% more for jet fuel than the global average before the Iran war, according to AFRAA. The new price pressures are adding to already thin margins across the sector.
“The impact is dire and a major shock for our members,” AFRAA Secretary-General Abderahmane Berthe told The Associated Press. “Fuel represents between 30% and 40% of airlines’ operating costs. Any increase directly affects their balance sheets.”.....

#Ethiopia plans wider budget gap as spending Jumps 21%
Ethiopia’s budget deficit is projected to widen to 1.4% of gross domestic product in the coming fiscal year.
The government plans to increase spending by a fifth to 2.34 trillion birr ($14.8 billion) in the year starting July, creating a shortfall of 308.6 billion birr, most of which will be plugged domestically, Finance Minister Ahmed Shide said in a budget speech.
That financing gap compares with 1% of GDP in the current fiscal year — the lowest in the past seven years — & 4.1% recorded in the 2024-25 period.
“Compared to this year’s budget, next year’s budget shows an increase,” Ahmed told lawmakers Thursday. “It is important to understand that the increase is done primarily considering expenses linked to the crisis in the Middle East.”

#UAE paid #Iran billions of dollars to halt strikes: Report
The UAE paid Iran billions of dollars in return for a halt to attacks on the country in an about-face for the Gulf state that staked out the most hawkish position on Iran, lobbying the US to continue waging war on the Islamic Republic, Reuters reported on Friday.
The UAE has already delivered $3bn to Iran as part of the agreement, which two regional sources said reached as high as $10bn. Two other sources told Reuters that the UAE would eventually pay Iran $20bn.
The report reflects a stunning turn of events for Abu Dhabi and an indicator that Iran has emerged stronger from the war.
The UAE joined the US and Israel in conducting dozens of strikes on Iran during the war. It also tried to prevent Pakistan from mediating an end to the conflict.

#Polish firefighters teach life-saving skills to #Ethiopian rescuers

The two-week course focuses on practical rescue skills, including firefighting, first aid, emergency communication and team management during rescue operations.
Instructors are also teaching firefighters how to use specialist equipment, including tools carried on fire trucks, water fittings and extinguishing foam.
“We are trying to introduce practical, real-life elements into these exercises,” Bartosz Kozak, one of the Polish instructors, told Poland’s public broadcaster TVP Info.
“It is certainly a very positive experience to be able to share the knowledge and skills I gained during my training in Poland, and to help develop the fire service here on the ground,” he added.
