"body": "The African Union has condemned attacks claimed by Yemen's Iran-aligned Houthi movement on commercial oil tankers in the Red Sea, warning that the assaults threaten regional security, global trade and one of the world's busiest maritime corridors.\n\nIn a statement, African Union Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf denounced the attacks, which followed the Houthis' announcement of a naval blockade targeting Saudi Arabia, describing the move as a dangerous escalation.\n\nYoussouf expressed the African Union's solidarity with Saudi Arabia and reaffirmed the bloc's support for the kingdom's security, sovereignty and stability.\n\nHe said attacks on commercial vessels and efforts to disrupt maritime traffic posed a serious threat to international maritime security and the stability of the Red Sea, a key route for global trade and energy shipments.\n\n\"The freedom of navigation and the safety and security of commercial shipping must be fully respected in accordance with international law,\" Youssouf said.\n\nHe warned that disruptions to shipping through the Red Sea could undermine regional maritime connectivity, global supply chains, energy security and the economic interests of many African countries that rely on the route for trade.\n\nThe African Union chief called on the Houthis to immediately halt attacks on commercial shipping, avoid further actions that could escalate tensions and comply with international maritime law.\n\nHe also reiterated the African Union's support for regional and international efforts to de-escalate the conflict, safeguard maritime security and pursue a negotiated settlement aimed at restoring stability in the Red Sea and the wider Middle East.",

"title": "NBE Reaffirms Ban On Virtual Assets, Warns Public Against Crypto Transactions | The Reporter Ethiopia",
"body": "The central bank today reaffirmed that the use, trading and transfer of virtual assets, including cryptocurrencies, remain prohibited unless expressly authorized by the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE), warning the public against engaging in such transactions because of legal and financial risks.\n\nIn a public notice, the NBE said the ban extends beyond cryptocurrencies to all virtual assets, which it defined as digital representations of value that can be electronically traded, transferred, exchanged or used for payments, investment or similar purposes.\n\nThe central bank said the prohibition covers the purchase, sale, exchange, transfer, trading, settlement and facilitation of transactions involving virtual assets unless specifically approved under Ethiopia's existing legal framework.\n\nThe notice appeared intended to clarify what the bank described as a broad interpretation of the ban, stating that it should not be understood as applying only to cryptocurrencies.\n\nAccording to the NBE, prohibited activities include exchanging virtual assets for fiat currencies or other virtual assets, transferring virtual assets, providing custody or administrative services for such assets, and offering financial services related to the issuance or sale of virtual assets.\n\nThe central bank urged the public to refrain from participating in transactions involving virtual assets, citing risks that include legal consequences, fraud, scams, cyberattacks, operational failures, market manipulation and significant financial losses.\n\nThe statement did not announce new regulations or enforcement measures, but reiterated the existing legal restrictions governing virtual assets in Ethiopia.\n\nThe NBE has maintained a cautious stance toward cryptocurrencies and other digital assets, arguing that transactions involving such instruments fall outside the country's authorized financial system unless explicitly approved by the central bank.",

"title": "Ethiopia's Trade Minister Present Performance Report on Commodities Supply",
"body": "Ethiopia's Minister of Trade and Regional Integration, Dr. Kassahun Gofe, presented a detailed report to the Prosperity Party forum regarding the major activities carried out to stabilize the market, improve the supply of products, and reduce the cost of living.\n\nIn the report presented by the Minister, he stated that multifaceted activities have been carried out in coordination in the areas of the Lemat Trufat initiative, market linkage, market infrastructure, and the control of illegal trade to address the high cost of living and improve supply.\n\nBy following the direction of supporting importers engaged in the sector while leaving the supply of basic commodities to the free market, more than USD 568.8 million in foreign currency was approved by banks for the purchase of commodities. Accordingly, 7.35 million quintals of sugar and more than 704 million liters of edible oil were supplied to the market.\n\nRegarding fuel supply, 5.23 million cubic meters of fuel were supplied, representing 91% implementation of the plan. As the Minister explained in his report, the opening of 804 new weekend (Saturday and Sunday) markets increased their total number to 2,369. This enabled products to be supplied to the public at a 10-20% discount, the Minister stated in his report.\n\nIn addition, 32 modern market centers have become operational, while 750 million birr has been allocated for the expansion of livestock trading, and the work is being carried out. During the fiscal year, charitable activities worth 190.56 billion birr were carried out in all regional states and city administrations, the Minister indicated. Among these were the renovation and construction of 209,262 houses for vulnerable households at a cost of 66.4 billion birr, food sharing for 4.33 million households at a cost of 12.2 billion birr, educational material support for 12 million students worth 14.4 billion birr, and school feeding programs costing 28.3 billion birr.\n\nAlthough the regions reported that 316 illegal checkpoints restricting the free movement of goods had been removed, it was noted that the problem of checkpoints has still not been completely resolved in various areas.\n\nAction was taken against 347,679 traders who violated the law, and 781.3 million birr in financial penalties was imposed. Similarly, 14,221 individuals were punished with imprisonment, while 6,885 business licenses were revoked. Legal action was also taken against 115 fuel stations involved in illegal fuel distribution, 84 members of the trade and security structure, and 604 illegal actors.\n\nFood inflation reached 15.0%, while non-food inflation declined to 11.1% due to the tight monetary policy. Overall inflation was recorded at 13.4%. The 49% increase in diesel prices and the 26% increase in the foreign exchange rate were cited as the main reasons for the rise in prices.\n\nThe Ministry stated that in the next fiscal year it will work to increase the supply of products by 10%, upgrade 500 local markets, increase the number of weekend markets to 3,369, eliminate trade bottlenecks and illegal checkpoints, and provide training to 20 million market actors in order to continue the regulatory work at a higher level, Honorable Minister Dr. Kassahun Gofe announced.",

"title": "Africa Policymakers Require Evidence-Based Choices to Make Decisions: Minister",
"body": "Addis Ababa, July 23, 2026 (ENA) -- Addressing Africa's challenges require policymakers to make informed choices on where to invest limited resources and which programs deliver effective results based on evidence, Planning and Development Minister Fitsum Assefa noted today.\n\nSpeaking at the opening of the 14th Africa Evidence Summit that opened in Addis Ababa, the Minster said that \"we cannot answer these questions on gut feeling alone. We need real data, honest analysis, and strong collaboration between leaders, researchers, and communities\".\n\nShe highlighted that Ethiopia is strengthening its evidence ecosystem through coordinated efforts among key institutions.\n\nAccording to her, the ministry provides policy guidance, prepares short, medium, and long-term development plans, manages public investments, and supports climate policy, while the National Statistical Office generates official data and the Policy Studies Institute (PSI) transforms data into evidence to support policymaking.\n\nThe Minister said the eight-pillar Statistical Development Program is modernizing Ethiopia's statistical system by moving toward digital data management.\n\nShe noted that the strengthened system has supported major data-generation initiatives, including Ethiopia's first agricultural census in 23 years, the first-ever Economic Establishment Census, a comprehensive Demographic and Health Survey, and an Integrated Household Welfare Survey.\n\nFitsum further called for stronger collaboration among governments, universities, think tanks, civil society organizations, and private sector actors to ensure research findings contribute directly to policy decisions and practical implementation.\n\n\"There is no better time than now for researchers here and across the world, and of course our own Policy Studies Institute, to inform policy with quality and credible evidence,\" the Minister stressed.\n\nFor his part, Network of Impact Evaluators in Africa Chairman, Amos Njuguna, stressed that emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence and advanced data analytics, should be deployed ethically and inclusively to improve people's lives.\n\n\"Our mission goes beyond producing research to ensuring that evidence reaches the desks of decision-makers, informs public policy, and ultimately improves the lives of our people,\" he noted.\n\nAt the summit, Ethiopian Policy Studies Institute (PSI) Director- General, Fekadu Tsega, emphasized the importance of strengthening links between researchers and policymakers to ensure evidence contributes to practical development solutions.\n\nThe Director-General said the institute works to bridge the gap between research and policymaking through multidisciplinary studies, policy engagement, and capacity building aimed at supporting national development priorities.\n\n\"Research should not remain confined to academic institutions or journals, but must actively engage with policy processes and contribute to real-world solutions,\" he said, underscoring the importance of collaboration between researchers, policymakers, and practitioners.\n\nHe added that researchers provide analytical methods, scientific evidence, and new perspectives, while policymakers contribute practical knowledge, institutional experience, and understanding of implementation challenges.\n\nThe 14th Africa Evidence Summit, held under the theme \"Powering Policy with Innovative, Inclusive, and Transparent Data,\" has brought together more than 400 policymakers, researchers, innovators, and development partners to discuss how evidence and technology can strengthen decision-making across Africa.",

"body": "Addis Ababa, July 23, 2026 (ENA) -- Encouraging results have been recorded in the activities carried out to sustainably improve product supply and expand market infrastructure in the 2018 Ethiopia Fiscal Year, Prosperity Party Executive Member and Minister of Trade and Regional Integration, Kassahun Gofe, said.\n\nHis statement followed the conclusion of a high-level party forum reviewing performance of the 2018 fiscal year and setting strategic priorities for 2019.\n\nPresenting a comprehensive performance report at the forum, Kassahun detailed key interventions deployed over the past year to curb inflation, stabilize consumer markets, and map out upcoming economic priorities.\n\nRobust measures taken throughout the 2018 fiscal year to strengthen supply chain resilience and expand market infrastructure have yielded encouraging results, he said.\n\nThe Minister further emphasized that the government has pursued a multi-pronged strategy encompassing the Yelemat Tirufat (Bounty of the Basket) initiative that enhanced market linkages, expanded commercial infrastructure, and targeted crackdowns on illicit trade practices.\n\nTo maintain basic commodity flows through liberalized market channels, the government supported private importers by approving over 568.8 million USD in foreign exchange through commercial banks.\n\nThis allocation facilitated the market supply of 7.35 million quintals of sugar and over 704 million liters of edible oil.\n\nRegarding fuel distribution, 5.23 million cubic meters of petroleum products were delivered to the domestic market, achieving 91 percent of the planned annual target.\n\nThe Minister highlighted that the opening of 804 new weekend open-air markets successfully linked producers directly with consumers, bringing the total number of active weekend markets nationwide to 2,369.\n\nAccording to him, this expansion enabled citizens to purchase essential goods at discounts ranging from 10 to 20 percent compared to standard retail rates.\n\nIn addition, 32 modern commercial centers were brought into service, while 750 million Birr was allocated to expand livestock trading infrastructure.\n\nParallel to economic measures, extensive social welfare programs totaling 190.56 billion Birr were executed across all regions and city administrations during the fiscal year.\n\nKey humanitarian highlights included the construction and renovation of 209,262 homes for vulnerable citizens at a cost of 66.4 billion Birr, direct meal support reaching 4.33 million households valued at 12.2 billion Birr, the provision of learning materials to 12 million students worth 14.4 billion Birr, and school feeding programs benefiting millions of school children nationwide totaling 28.3 billion Birr.\n\nAddressing logistical bottlenecks, regional reports confirmed the removal of 316 illegal transit checkpoints that previously hindered the free movement of agricultural goods, though localized challenges remain under active monitoring.\n\nLaw enforcement operations against commercial distortions resulted in legal actions against 347,679 non-compliant traders, yielding 781.3 million Birr in fines.\n\nFurthermore, 14,221 individuals received custodial sentences, and 6,885 business licenses were revoked. In fuel distribution specifically, enforcement measures were taken against 115 gas stations, 84 commercial and security personnel, and 604 illicit actors.\n\nMacroeconomic indicators show overall headline inflation standing at 13.4 percent, with food inflation at 15.0 percent and non-food inflation slowing to 11.1 percent as a result of a tight monetary policy stance.\n\nKey cost drivers behind price pressure included a 49 percent increase in diesel costs and a 26 percent adjustment in exchange rates.\n\nLooking ahead to this fiscal year, Kassahun said the Ministry will focus on driving a 10 percent expansion in basic product supply, upgrading 500 local markets, increasing the number of weekend open-air markets to 3,369, eliminating lingering trade barriers, and conducting regulatory training for 20 million market participants to maintain market integrity.\n\nThe review session brought together senior government officials, including Prosperity Party Vice President and Main Office Head, Adem Farah, alongside cabinet ministers, state ministers, and regional leaders.",

"body": "More than 47,000 hectares of land have been covered with various crops during the current Ethiopian 2018/2019 Meher farming season in South Achefer district, North Gojjam Zone in Amhara Region of Ethiopia.\n\nThis is stated by the district's Agriculture Office. The head of the office, Mr. Abebe Biyazen, said during a field visit to maize cluster farms with coordinating officials that the district had planned to cultivate 47,597 hectares of land to produce 2.6 million quintals of crops during the production season.\n\nSouth Achefer district is bounded by the Agew Awi Zone to the south and west, Semien Achefer to the north, and Mecha to the east, with the Lesser Abay River marking the eastern boundary. It is located 60 km from Bahir Dar and 502 km from Addis Ababa. The district relies heavily on crop production, especially maize and teff, alongside livestock.\n\nAccording to the latest report, 47,122 hectares of land have already been planted with various types of crops. The head of the office also stated that cluster farming, which follows modern and scientific agricultural practices, is being implemented to increase maize productivity -- one of the district's major crops -- and to improve the benefits farmers receive from their production.\n\nHe further urged farmers not only to complete planting but also to carry out the necessary monitoring and proper crop management to protect their fields from weeds and pests.",
