I express my sincere condolences on the passing of Alberto Varnero, a pioneering figure in Ethiopia’s construction sector since the late 1950s. His work has profoundly shaped the nation’s built environment and historical landmarks.

Among his many contributions delivering landmark projects are the Africa Hall (UN ECA Headquarters), Addis Ababa City Hall, Commercial Bank of Ethiopia Headquarters, Hilton Hotel, Millennium Concert Hall, Jimma Aba Jifar Airport upgrade, Abrehot Library, Unity Park, and the renovation of the National Palace.

His legacy stands in the foundations of these national landmarks and in the progress they symbolize. May he rest in peace.

A great feature in today’s @addis_fortune of two successful Ethiopian-American doctors who established Axone Stroke & Spine Center.

Dr. Akeza & Dr. Wondossen are inspirational diaspora returnees from the U.S. making a difference in their birth country #Ethiopia. Well done guys!

I follow the passionate discussion on the #GERD with interest. But the fundamental truth is - a country which does not contribute one drop of water to the Nile (#Egypt) - cannot demand 100% of the right to decide how the waters should be used by all. The world has changed.

@TiborPNagyJr Whether a fan of Putin or the West, the fact that we Africans can't feed ourselves should be a source of embarrassment. Africans need to ensure food security from within each country to avoid being victims of food-aid politics.

Sorry to see Ethiopian Airlines CEO Ato Tewolde resigning for health reasons. ET thrived under his 11 year leadership and they were instrumental in helping evacuate Americans from all over Africa when COVID started. ET is one of the best airlines in the world; not just Africa.

[Yoadan Tilahun @FlawlessinET]

Seeing #abrehot library quietly buzzing with people from all walks of life reading, fiercely typing away on their keyboards, doing homework, huddling around chatting, & browsing brought joy beyond helping with the inauguration of this landmark for #addisabeba! My heart smiled!
