The people of Ethiopia are an extraordinary and remarkable people. Other than the Creator, who can truly know and assess our people in their entirety? Through this year’s election, Ethiopians have once again shown the world that they are a people with a rich culture, deep patriotism, and the ability to safeguard the common good.
On this historic day:
* Citizens who were not intimidated by the cold and darkness of the night,
* Who were not deterred by the midday sun or sudden rain,
* Whom weddings, funerals, childbirth, and other social obligations did not prevent from participating,
* Who were not wearied by long lines,
* Whose physical disabilities did not stop them from casting their vote,
* Those whose illness and old age did not prevent from witnessing the hope of their country,
* Who were not exhausted by carrying their infant children; the future inheritors of the nation,
* And above all, whom the shouting and threats of enemies could not intimidate or stop;
The perseverance you demonstrated amid many challenges and hardships, against all odds, was a contribution made for democracy and for the very survival of the nation. For this, you deserve heartfelt gratitude.
It is a privilege to serve such a people. Therefore, may those who have been elected honor the trust placed in them and serve this people, with integrity and sincerity! A people who have paid a great price for the democratic system. May you be worthy of that responsibility.
Aliko Dangote has increased investment in Ethiopia’s planned fertilizer plant to about $4 billion
The massive project in Ethiopia’s Somali Region is expected to become the largest fertilizer production facility in East Africa once completed
This is no longer just a factory project
The expansion now includes major power infrastructure, a 108-kilometer gas pipeline from the Ogaden Basin, and a 25-year natural gas supply agreement with GCL Group from China
The project is being developed through a partnership between Dangote and Ethiopian Investment Holdings to reduce fertilizer imports, improve agricultural productivity, and strengthen food security across East Africa
Officials expect annual production to hit 3 million tons of urea by 2029
Chinese companies are investing hundreds of millions of dollars in Ethiopian manufacturing to produce solar modules, and to bring high-tech manufacturing to Africa.
Ethiopia has been positioning itself as a manufacturing hub for solar. Several Chinese companies have announced major investments in the country.
Ethiopia and Africa are working together to transform Africa from a mere source of raw inputs to a manufacturing powerhouse.
The response from the USA, since December 2025, has been to block $16.3 million worth of Ethiopian solar equipment from entering the USA.
Abune Mathias, the Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, pleads with the Saudi Arabian authorities to pardon Ethiopians who are facing the death penalty and commute their sentences to prison terms. At least 65 Ethiopians are at imminent risk of execution, @hrw said.
Met with Ethiopian Foreign Minister @GHessebon today to discuss expanding our security partnership and increasing commercial opportunities between our two nations.
Four Years of Sustained Effort and Measurable Progress!
It is truly an honor to witness the tangible realization of our national vision at this year's "Made in Ethiopia" Expo. Our results-driven governance is reflected in unprecedented industrial expansion, highlighted by average production capacity utilization soaring from 47% to 67%, the attraction of over 2,800 domestic and foreign direct investments over the past four years, and more than $4.85 billion in foreign exchange saved through import substitution in the first nine months of the 2018 fiscal year alone.
This expo unites hundreds of dynamic enterprises and innovative startups from across the nation. By working together and sustaining this powerful momentum, we will build a resilient, industrialized, and self-reliant Ethiopia for generations to come.
We Were Great and We Shall Be Even Greater!

🇪🇹|| Claude AI officially enters Ethiopia
As of yesterday, May 1, 2026, Anthropic has officially expanded access to Claude AI in Ethiopia. This marks a significant milestone in our digital journey, placing advanced generative AI tools directly into the hands of local developers, students, and businesses.
For those of us in the blockchain and tech space, this isn't just another chatbot; it’s a high-level coding and data analysis partner that understands complex reasoning better than almost any other platform.
The arrival of Claude alongside global giants like Google and OpenAI is a massive win for our startup ecosystem. Local builders can now use these tools to prototype dApps faster, audit smart contracts with higher precision, and automate customer service in local languages. As we move toward the Digital Ethiopia 2030 goals, having official access to these global "brains" means we are no longer just consumers of technology, but active competitors in the global AI race.
While the tech is exciting, the real challenge now shifts from access to application.
With the Ethiopian Artificial Intelligence Institute (EAII) pushing for homegrown innovation, tools like Claude will act as a force multiplier for our youth.
Whether you are a student working on a research paper or a dev building the next big fintech solution in Addis, the barrier to entry has never been lower. The future is here let’s use it to build something uniquely Ethiopian.

🇪🇹 Ethiopia's Made in Ethiopia initiative is crucial for economic growth, self-sufficiency in food production, and sustainable development, professor Mohammed Isa told Sputnik Africa.
The country is now nearly self-reliant in wheat production and is replacing many imports with domestically produced goods, he noted.
To boost economic capacity, improving product quality and expanding industries for export are essential, the expert stressed.
Summer irrigation farming represents an important step in our journey toward food self-sufficiency. With continued effort, commitment, and better use of our water resources, this path will surely lead us to a more secure and sustainable future where we can feed ourselves reliably.
