Strategic Assessment:

The durability of the Pretoria Agreement depends not only on domestic implementation, but also on its capacity to withstand external pressures. As regional rivalries, cross-border security dynamics, and competing strategic interests re-enter Ethiopia’s northern political landscape, the peace process risks becoming regionalized once again.

What’s really behind the Assela Wind Farm project? I explore it in my latest article.

Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa, is wearing a new look as the country hosts the 39th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union Heads of State and Government from 14 to 15 February 2026 at the continental bloc's headquarters.

In recent days, the Ethiopian government has intensified efforts to beautify major roads and key landmarks across the city, as international guests arrive for the summit, which is expected to deliberate on security, economic and diplomatic issues concerning the continent

🤯Cracks in Ethiopian buildings may soon "heal themselves"

The Construction Management Institute is wrapping up a study using "bio-fillers"—bacteria that self-repair wall fractures, tackling rising costs & quality issues.

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

Held extensive discussions with PM Abiy Ahmed Ali. We have decided to elevate the India-Ethiopia ties to a Strategic Partnership. Gave three key suggestions to enhance bilateral ties:

Deepen relations in food security and health security. This includes cooperation in sustainable agriculture, natural farming and agri-tech.

Boost capacity building. Today, we have decided to introduce new programmes in artificial intelligence and to double student scholarships. This will enable many more Ethiopian students to access higher education opportunities in India and strengthen youth-to-youth engagement.

Work extensively on Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI).

🇪🇹 Ethiopian Hospital Removes 19-Kg Tumor, Saves New Mother

Doctors at Woldiya General Hospital removed a 19-kg uterine tumor from a 28-year-old woman one month after childbirth, after severe pain prompted early surgery.

The tumor had gone undetected due to limited prenatal care, but the mother has fully recovered and is healthy, local media report.

Why is Singapore’s 🇸🇬 PM traveling with Ethiopian Airlines?

Because Singapore 🇸🇬 doesn’t use a private government jet, and @flyethiopian offers a direct, efficient route from Singapore to Addis Ababa 🇪🇹….. making it the most practical option.
