Court sides with Nahoo TV against Zami Fm
Ledeta’s First instance Court has blocked the property of radio station Zami’s 90.7, after the FM station failed to return five million birr of Nahoo’s TV down payment. Zami agreed to sell the radio station for 16 million to Nahoo. After the agreement Nahoo gave a five million birr down payment to the radio station. However, Zami’s owner changed their mind and decided not to sell the station. In response Nahho asked Zami to return the down payment. However, the TV station said Zami FM has refused to return the money. As a result, they sued Zami at Ledeta First Instance Court which sided with Nahoo and placed a lean against the radio station’s properties including an Atoz and Mitsubishi car which are owned by the Zami until the down payment is returned to Nahoo.

Water shortage creates new businesses
Delivering tap water is the task of the city’s Water and Sewerage Authority. Because of the inability to meet resident’s demand for portable water; the Authority has begun rationing and delivers water by tankers to the mountainous part of the city. However, individuals and business institutions are forced to buy water from vendors and water tank truck owners even though distributing water is the sole right of the Authority. This may incur the business owners and the Authority personnel to vandalism by disrupting the rationing schedule.

MoTI sides with local investors against supplier’s credit
The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MoTI) is denouncing the National Bank of Ethiopia’s (NBE) ‘External Loan and Supplier’s Credit Directives FXD/47/ 2017’ that gives the right to foreign investors to access foreign loans at the cost of local industries. The scheme has also been criticized for its vulnerability to corruption because approval is based on a one to one scheme.

Climate change is real
Climate change is increasingly becoming a serious challenge to Ethiopia’s’ socioeconomic development. Various manifestations of its impact are evident in Ethiopia, which include increase in drought, scarcity of food instigated somewhat by irregularities in rainfall and over flooding.
Anthropologist Teferi Abate Adem (PhD) who is living in the U.S argues that Ethiopians are tired of crush campaign and top-down power and have to look for more innovative strategies to unleash the knowledge and energies of rural people to do better job in climate problems.

Jetlag got the best of me last week as I began my 3-month tour to the US and Jamaica, but the good news is the next few columns will be share my escapades. My week of activities began in Chicago with a host of events organized by Gallery Guichard (GG), the leading Black owned art gallery in Bronzeville, a historic Black area in Chicago. The owners, Andre and France Guichard and Stephen Mitchell were introduced to me via phone exactly one year ago by Ambassador Erieka Bennett the Head of Mission for the Diaspora African Forum (DAF). https://www.capitalethiopia.com/discourse-with-dr-desta/so-said-so-done/

FLAGS FLY HIGH
This week I write to you from Juneteenth Sankofa Days Festival in Buffalo, New York. The city is also famous for Niagara Falls which few may know was the last stop on the underground-railroad, a route of secret trails and safe houses in the USA for enslaved African descendants headed to free states, Canada and Nova Scotia. Side note,maps of these routes were braided into women’s hair to help ensure safe path. As I took questions on the history of resilience of Ethiopians, it was obvious that though the proud narrative of the non-colonization of Ethiopia is touted at home, this profound history continues to inspire millions of Africans here and there in the 21st century. African Americans wear the win of Ethiopia over Italy as a badge of honor and hope.
