News: #Ethiopia’s #Eurobond restructuring wins creditor approval, but warrant raises concerns
Ethiopia has secured approval from its official creditors for an agreement to restructure its $1 billion Eurobond, marking a major step toward resolving the country’s external debt crisis. However, concerns remain over a new financial warrant included in the deal.
The Official Creditor Committee, co-chaired by #France and #China, said the agreement reached between Ethiopia and private bondholders in June meets the #G20 Common Framework’s requirement for comparable treatment of creditors.
Under the proposed restructuring, the Eurobond’s principal would be reduced by 12%, from $1 billion to $880 million. The restructured bond would carry a 6.15% interest rate and mature in July 2029. Ethiopia would also pay around $99 million in accrued interest.

#US and #Denmark push for nationwide expansion of UN arms embargo in #Sudan
The United States on Monday urged the #United_Nations Security Council to expand an arms embargo on the Sudanese region of Darfur to cover all of Sudan, saying the nation's brutal conflict risks regional expansion. The suggestion was supported by Denmark, which holds the Council's rotating presidency.
The #Darfur arms embargo, which has been in place for more than two decades, is set to expire on 12 September if a new agreement is not reached.
The US envoy to the meeting, #Massad_Boulos, called on the Council to take steps to curtail "external support" for the conflict that "risks drawing more regional actors and neighbours deeper into Sudan's conflict".

News: #Eritrea says tanker seized off #Yemen was flying a false flag and has no links to Eritrea
The Embassy of Eritrea in #London has rejected reports by several international media outlets that an oil tanker hijacked off the coast of Yemen on 20 August was Eritrean-flagged, saying the vessel has no ownership or registration links to Eritrea.
In a statement issued on 25 August, the embassy described reports by #Reuters, #AFP, #BBC and other outlets as a “hoax news story,” arguing that the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (#UKMTO), cited as the primary source, never identified the vessel as Eritrean-flagged.

Dozens killed in rebel attacks on #Sudan’s Kordofan, medical group says
A medical organisation has accused a Sudanese rebel group aligned with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (#RSF) of killing 27 people, including four children, in the southern province of South #Kordofan.
In a statement on Tuesday, the Sudan Doctors Network said the killings were carried out by the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (#SPLM-N) in #Qardud and #Abu_Hamama, areas inhabited by the Otoro tribe in South Kordofan.
“The attacks resulted in a large wave of displacement among citizens towards the Abu Hitan area and Kadugli,” it said.
Targeting unarmed civilians on ethnic grounds constitutes a “clear violation of international humanitarian law”, the group added, warning that continued violations threatened to turn “the conflict in South Kordofan into a broader ethnic conflict”.

“The Quest for Consensus: Analysis on #Ethiopia’s National Dialogue”
For more than four years, Ethiopia has been engaged in a “National Dialogue” process that promised a path toward consensus.
The process culminated in 38 days of deliberations. But what happens when we look beyond the official narrative?
Who was missing from the room? Who chose the 4,000 delegates? And can a process that excluded some of the country’s most consequential political and armed actors produce a truly national consensus?
In “The Quest for Consensus: Analysis on Ethiopia’s National Dialogue,” a three-part Addis Standard special edition, two critical thinkers who witnessed and closely reflected on this long-running undertaking examine what the process actually meant, what it achieved, and what it left unresolved.

#Kenya Airways to reveal potential new investors as losses deepen

#Opinion: Algorithm of Neglect, Business of Extremism: How #TikTok monetizes #Ethiopia’s trauma, profits from pain
ByteDance’s TikTok has transformed Ethiopia’s collective trauma into viral entertainment, subjecting users to severe hate, violence, and gender-based abuse due to inadequate localised content moderation, writes Abdunasir Isak.
He contends that the platform’s engagement-driven algorithms actively reward outrage while failing to safeguard vulnerable populations, particularly women and children.
Emphasising the financial incentives behind this model, the author notes that “TikTok doesn’t just host extremism; it subsidises it.”

“Drone strikes by Federal Government of Ethiopia hit a secondary school in Tigray at Saharty Woreda, destroying ICT facilities with 35 computers installed this year by the World Bank supported 3R program,” Kiros said.
The latest destruction of a school adds another layer to an education system that the Tigray Education Bureau earlier has warned is already struggling to recover from the devastating consequences of the war.
“Serving 500+ students since 1999 E.C., this vital hub now lies in ruins,” Kiros said.
