tldr: Ethiopia's sea access is an existential issue, costing billions in foreign currency annually and harming the economy, states Abdulber Shemsu, CEO of Ethiopian Maritime Transport and Logistics.

"Lack of sea access is causing billions in foreign currency to be paid annually" - Abdulber Shemsu (Eng.) Ethiopia's sea access question is said to be an existential issue. Abdulber Shemsu (Eng.), CEO of Ethiopian Maritime Transport and Logistics, stated that Ethiopia's claim to sea access is crucial for accelerating sustainable economic growth and is an existential issue. He added that the lack of sea access is causing billions in foreign currency to be spent annually, including for port rent, and is significantly impacting and harming the economy by delaying the movement of goods for import and export. He told ENA that this underscores the rationality of the Ethiopian people's and government's demand to reclaim the country's natural, geographical, strategic, and legal ownership of sea access.

tldr: Japan's centenarian population surpassed 100,000, yet an aging populace and declining birth rate challenge its social security system.

Japanese Longevity In Japan, the number of people aged 100 and above has exceeded 100,000. The country's Ministry of Health announced that the number of people aged 100 and above in Japan has for the first time exceeded 100,000, reaching 107,677. Of these, 88 percent are women, with 114-year-old Kishimoto Fuyo, living in Kyoto, being the oldest woman. Japan's Minister of Health, Kenichiro Uno, stated that advances in medicine and technology are among the reasons people live long lives. Experts link the long lifespan of Japanese people to a healthy diet and an active lifestyle. Japanese food is mostly based on fish, vegetables, and rice, and has a lower fat content compared to many other countries. Among the elderly in Japan, walking, cycling, and physical activity are common. In 1963, when the count of people aged 100 and above began in Japan, there were only 153, but now the number has reached 107,677. Meanwhile, the aging of Japan's population and the declining birth rate remain a concern. People aged 65 and above now account for about 30 percent of the country's population, which could approach 40 percent by 2070. Similarly, the birth rate is declining, with Japan's fertility rate recording a new low of 1.14 last year. It is estimated that the country's population could decrease to 87 million by 2070. Therefore, while Japan rejoices in the increasing number of its long-lived citizens, on the other hand, population aging and declining birth rates have become a challenge to sustain its social security system.

Mekelle Prosecutor's Office appealed in the Zewdu Haftu murder case. The Mekelle Prosecutor's Office appealed, stating that the decision to acquit individuals who were accused of involvement in the Zewdu Haftu murder and had been sentenced to life imprisonment is inappropriate. The office filed the appeal challenging the Mekelle Central Court's decision to acquit Yared Gebreselassie and Angesom Hailemariam, who were accused of involvement in the murder. The office stated that the appeal was officially submitted to the Tigray High Court on Pagume 4, 2018 E.C. It was reported that the prosecutor, in the appeal, requested the case to be heard and decided upon without any interference and with a short adjournment, citing the complexity and urgency of the matter. Colonel Gebreselassie Belay, the father of Yared Gebreselassie, who was suspected in the Zewdu Haftu murder and had been sentenced to life imprisonment, was appointed Deputy Commissioner of the Tigray Regional Police Commission a few months ago.

tldr: Armed groups calling themselves 'Fano' attacked Abeshge Woreda in Central Ethiopia, causing casualties and abductions, prompting a regional security official to confirm the incident and dispatch a team for damage assessment.

"Regarding the number of casualties and property damage, a team that has entered the area is working to gather accurate information" - Regional Peace and Security Bureau.Residents reported that many were killed and abducted in an attack by armed groups in Abeshge Woreda, East Gurage, Central Ethiopia. Ato Temesgen Kassa, Head of the Regional Peace and Security Bureau, confirmed the attack and told Tikvah Ethiopia that an investigative team had been sent to the area to determine the extent of the damage.Ato Temesgen responded to questions from Tikvah Ethiopia regarding the overall situation.Q. Have you identified the attackers? If so, who are they?Ato Temesgen Kassa:"They are armed groups who call themselves 'Fano'."Q. Based on what do you call the attackers "Fano"? They operate in the Amhara region, but the attack occurred in the Central Ethiopia region?Ato Temesgen Kassa:"Because they call themselves 'Fano'. We consider any armed group outside the government to be a bandit, a robber, a killer; they are a force in the forest, a force that has entered the forest. They operate under the name 'Fano'."Q. Attacks on civilians in the area are frequent; this is not hidden from you; at various times, killings have occurred, injuries have been sustained, and property has been destroyed; how far has it gone to stop the attacks? What is being done now? What is the reason the problem has not been resolved?Ato Temesgen Kassa:"On our part, the first thing is to awaken the public; to work to make them save themselves from this force.Furthermore, in connection with this, we work with the public to prevent retaliatory harm to peaceful and healthy citizens; we hold discussions. We have held various discussions. We have held discussions with the public that included those who went into the forest to live peacefully.We have had extensive discussions that destroying property is not profitable; it pits people against people; it creates distrust among people in a brotherly and sisterly community, and there are those who accepted the call for discussion and came to live in peace.Those who farm are farming; those who trade are trading; those who learn are learning. Beyond that, a group accustomed to getting rich by shortcutting, robbing, and killing to collect money, saying 'I refuse', is carrying out this evil deed.What is disgusting is the attack that targets specific ethnic groups; attacks are carried out by choosing ethnic groups; and we have concerns that this could create inappropriate things among people over time.One of the central ideas of our initial discussion was that. Because it creates distrust among people, it must stop. We have also told the public to stand by and work to advise these groups and make them join the community peacefully.In that regard, a significant number have joined the path of peace; those who said 'I refuse' have continued their evil deeds."Q. If there are armed groups who chose the peace option, what are their demands? How did you evaluate their demands, whether right or wrong, given that knowing them leads to a solution? What is the solution to completely stop the attack in the future?Ato Temesgen Kassa:"What wrong has been done to you? What is the damage, what have you lost? What do you want to gain now? To say this, to truly know their demands, it would be possible if we created a platform and had a face-to-face discussion with the armed groups. But this force is not open to discussion; it has gone into the forest.Our assessment and study indicate that this is a bandit accustomed to living by kidnapping and robbing, wanting to torment people, determined to get money without effort; a force that, if successful, mov...

One problem is not getting a good education," he said.He also stated that students will not be forced to stay in conflict zones."It's your right. No one is telling you to stay in a problematic area. You must go and learn wherever you are," he conveyed to the students.Furthermore, Professor Birhanu Nega said, "I am very, very saddened to see you young people suffer because of the struggles we, who have finished our age, are engaged in.

"Last night, about 17 people were killed. More than 10 people were abducted. This happened in the Walga area" - A body that investigated the matter. Residents told Tikvah Ethiopia that civilians were killed and abducted in a new attack by armed groups in Abeshge Woreda, Gurage Zone, Central Ethiopia Region, which frequently experiences killings and attacks. The zone's police leadership and the regional peace and security bureau also confirmed the attack. A reliable source who investigated the matter told us, "Last night, about 17 people were killed. More than 10 people were abducted. This happened in the Walga area." The same source stated, "The attack has particularly intensified since the rainy season began," adding, "Other times, the armed groups abduct two or three people; one or two people are killed; but yesterday's attack was more severe." Explaining that the area is vulnerable to attacks, they added, "There are armed groups; they come; first, they kill whoever they want. Some they abduct. There isn't a week without an attack. Now people have started to be displaced from the area." Recalling the repeated attacks in the zone, they also stated, "According to our information so far, over 34 million Birr has been paid for the release of hostages; we have confirmed information that over 34 million Birr has been paid. This information is from a month ago." While information circulating on social media indicated that "only one ethnic group was killed," our source, who told us that local residents were at a funeral today, informed us that they received "information indicating that the deceased were from various ethnic groups." Relatedly, information from the area indicated that an attack occurred yesterday in "Walga," with the number of deceased reaching 20 and abductees 16, but the government has not yet provided any numerical data. What did Gurage Zone Police say? Tikvah Ethiopia asked the Gurage Zone Police about the alleged attack that occurred yesterday in Abeshge Woreda. A police official stated, "The information is available from the command post that manages the area; this is managed by the regional peace and security bureau. We cannot provide information." The same official, who told us "We cannot give individual explanations; it is managed by the command post," also said, "Attacks have occurred; a disaster has happened. Since the community holds various perceptions, it is not something to be explained individually." 👉 Although Tikvah Ethiopia attempted to contact the Abeshge Woreda administration, no phone or written response was received. However, we have requested a response from the region. What did the Regional Peace and Security Bureau respond to Tikvah Ethiopia? Ato Temesgen Kassa, Head of the Central Ethiopia Region Peace and Security Bureau, confirmed the attack and blamed an armed group that "calls itself 'Fano' and operates" for it. The Head: "There is a killer and robber group in that area; there is a force that calls itself 'Fano' and operates. That force is using opportune moments to harm innocent citizens. It is also inflicting harm by selecting ethnic groups. Yesterday, it also harmed some innocent citizens. Government security forces are around to counter this; it used an unexpected opportune route to inflict this damage in a very short time and a few minutes. Government security forces are operating in the area to take measures to establish peace. Indeed, these groups are responsible for house destruction and attacks on citizens," he said.

tldr: The Amhara Region Civil Society Organizations Council reports millions of children are out of school due to three years of conflict, with many schools destroyed or militarized. They urge all parties to demilitarize schools, protect students and teachers, and ensure education resumes free from political agendas.

Most schools in conflict-affected areas of the Amhara region are reportedly not in a condition to adequately receive and educate children who have been out of school for the past three years. The Amhara Region Civil Society Organizations Council (ARCSOC) has issued a statement regarding the education situation in the region. In this statement, received by Tikvah Ethiopia, the council emphasized that the right to quality education with equality is a matter of human rights and social justice, indicating that the education sector in the Amhara region has been damaged in various ways due to security problems that have occurred over the past three years. The institution stated that millions of children have been excluded from their education in the Amhara region, which has been in conflict for the past three years, significantly impacting their educational opportunities, academic progress, and future development. According to the statement, out of 7.4 million students expected to enroll in the 2018 E.C. academic year, only about 4.3 million were registered. This indicates that approximately 3.1 million children remained out of school or unregistered. The council added, "This number does not include new children entering school age each year, making the problem even more serious." It also stated that thousands of schools are out of regular operation due to the ongoing conflict or war in the region, including: - Hundreds of schools have been used as military camps or shelters for internally displaced persons. - Many schools have been destroyed or damaged due to the conflict, and learning and teaching materials have been lost. Regarding the preparation for the 2019 E.C. academic year, the institution stated that it has heard that parties involved in the conflict are publicly campaigning for education to resume, most schools have been freed from military camp status, and registration is progressing well. It extended gratitude to the relevant bodies for their positive contributions. However, based on the information the council possesses, it stated that most schools are not in a condition to adequately receive and educate children who have been out of school for the past three years. Some are destroyed, while others lack classrooms, textbooks, and other essential materials, it added. Therefore, the council called on all parties involved in the conflict/war to free the 2019 E.C. academic year from political and military agendas so that education can resume in all schools in the region. Furthermore, it requested that parents send their children without fear, children learn without fear, schools and their surroundings be completely free from military activity, schools, teachers, and students be protected from attack, and education not be used as a tool for political or war agendas. For continuity, it also proposed the establishment of an impartial body (composed of parents, elders, religious leaders, and indigenous civil society organizations) trusted by all parties to verify and monitor that this does not happen. The Amhara Region Civil Society Organizations Council is a representative institution of Amhara Region Civil Society Organizations, comprising over 400 member civil society organizations.
