Good morning 😁

A picture worth 1,000 words. ❤️

After two wonderful months in Riyadh, we had to leave rather suddenly, without my husband. It was a long, exhausting journey from Bahrain to Addis Ababa and finally home to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe.

On our Ethiopian Airlines flight, we all fell fast asleep. When I woke up, my four-year-old daughter was missing from her seat. I found her a few rows ahead, fast asleep in the arms of a lovely flight attendant named Lydia.

She had woken up crying and confused, and Lydia, not wanting to disturb me, had picked her up, comforted her and rocked her back to sleep. My little girl stayed there for the next three hours.

In the middle of a difficult journey, this beautiful act of kindness meant the world. Thank you, Ethiopian Airlines, and especially Lydia, for reminding us that kindness and humanity know no borders. ❤️

Wake up.
Every profession deemed white-collar, the middle class dream, is about to be decimated by AI, at a much faster pace than anticipated, with monstrous social consequences.

This legendary internet moment turns 18 this weekend. A man in a nightclub in Veliky Novgorod, Russia, complained about the music, then promptly danced his way into meme history as “Dimitri Finds Out.”

Somali representation in both Houses of Parliament and the House of Federation.

It was an honor to meet with our leaders representing the Somali Region in the House of Federation, led by H.E. President Mustafe Omer, along with Hon. Mubashir Dibad Raage, Speaker of the Somali Regional State Parliament.

We congratulated them on their renewed mandates and wished them success in their responsibilities. May Allah guide them, give them wisdom, and bless their service to our people

Eritrean soldiers drove through the northern Ethiopian town of Adigrat on Wednesday, two witnesses told Reuters, days after the Horn of Africa neighbours severed diplomatic ties, raising fears of outright conflict. https://t.co/wXJ76sZ8Cq

Eritrean troops are reportedly seen today in Edagahamus town, south of Adigrat, #Tigray, crossing into Ethiopian territory.

This follows longstanding allegations of Eritrean support for the #TPLF through the “Tsimido” alliance. Today’s footage would provide further evidence of Eritrean direct involvement in the conflict and a serious violation of Ethiopia’s sovereignty.

The international community should strongly condemn such act of aggression and hold the #Eritrean regime accountable for violating Ethiopia’s territorial integrity.

#Ethiopia #Eritrea #Tigray

[Abel Abate Demissie @Abele_a]

Several credible reports (including AFP and DW) confirm that Eritrean forces are not only inside #Ethiopia but also expanding in northern and central Tigray, digging trenches and more.

This is a dangerous escalation we have warned about for some time. In its attempt to create strategic depth in Ethiopia, the #Eritrean government is making Ethio-Eritrea war a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Absolute FIGHTER ❤️

After running on world record pace for 40km, Tigst Assefa was hit by an injury in the closing kilometres of the @berlinmarathonE.

Visibly limping to the line, she still manages to clock a big PB and third-fastest marathon in history with 2:11:04 💪
