Hunger Costs Ethiopian Economy Billions Of Dollars
June 25, 2013: Voice of America
GENEVA — Hunger costs Ethiopia billions of dollars in yearly economic losses, according to a new study. Led by the African Union Commission, the UN World Food Program (WFP) and Ethiopian government agencies, it says reducing undernutrition will save lives and boost Ethiopia's struggling economy.
The study shows Ethiopia lost an estimated $4.7 billion in 2009 because of child undernutrition. This is equivalent to 16.5 percent of the country's Gross Domestic Product.

The Problem of Ethiopianism in the Amara-Oromo Elite ‘Pilarisim’ Dialogue
By Yared Ayicheh – June 25, 2013
The recent shift in the political narration of Ethiopian Diaspora politics is the desire among some Amara and Oromo elites to engage in dialogue for bridge building among the two elite groups.
At the surface it is a noble idea; but looking closer at the proposed Amara-Oromo bridge building reveals fundamental deformities in the Amara elite camp that make it unfeasible for bridge building to be realized. One of the deformities in the Amara elite is what I call The Problem of Ethiopianism.

When You Shoot a Zebra in the Black Stripe the White Dies too
June 18, 2013 | By Oumar Hussein
Many commentators either have misunderstood or misquoted Jawar Mohammed. He plainly stated that the Oromo Struggle and the Ethiopian Muslim Protest complementary to one another. He said clearly the two don’t contradict each other. Islam had been weak following its introduction in the northern parts of Ethiopia. As it gradually had penetrated into Oromo Land, the Raaba Doori, the military force of the Gadaa System, defended it. And Islam became part of daily life for many people in Biyya Oromoo/Oromia. It is, therefore, impossible to separate Islam and oromummaa since they have been interwoven. They are two sides of a coin. Even Mahatma Gandhi, one of the fathers of a non-violence movement remarked “those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.”

Ethiopian parliament votes to strip Egypt of rights to majority of Nile water
June 14, 2013 (Reuters in Addis Ababa)
Tensions rise between neighbours over £4.7bn Great Renaissance Dam project
Ethiopia's parliament has unanimously ratified a treaty that strips Egypt of its right to the lion's share of the Nile river waters, raising the political temperature in a dispute between Cairo and Addis Ababa over the construction of a dam.
The parliament's move follows days of irate exchanges between two of Africa's most populous nations over Ethiopia's new hydroelectric plant, which Egypt fears will reduce a water supply vital for its 84 million people.

‘Ethiopia dam harms Egypt water supply’

A political analyst says the construction of a dam on the Nile River by Ethiopia will have a negative impact on Egypt™s water supply, Press TV reports.
œIt is clear that the construction of this dam will have a negative impact. The water™s share, which is already limited, will be lessened and this is the real challenge. We are approaching a major problem, which is water shortage,” Ayman Abdul Wahab told Press TV on Wednesday.

Oromo-Norwegians views & reflections on the current engagement of the Norwegian Development Policy in Ethiopia
June 05, 2013
By Buttaa Duulo
The Oromo community in Oslo and its surroundings has a long tradition of boosting the Oromo Identity (Oromummaa) that highly empowers the Oromo nationalism to its host and to the wider society.
This community probably is one of the oldest Diaspora based Oromo communities in Europe. From its inception back in the late 1980s the community has been demonstrating for civil right and Oromumma – as one of the ancient folks with rich culture at different occasions on different forums.
