Ethiopian and Eritrean Refugees in Central America?

June 25, 2008 – 7:40 am
UN welcomes Nicaraguan laws protecting refugees Somali asylum seekers leaving the migration holding center in Managua 5 June 2008 – After four years of collaboration between the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and Nicaragua, the Central American nation’s Parliament has unanimously passed a new law to support refugees, it was announced today.The legislation details the need of legal counsel for asylum-seekers, in particular unaccompanied minors and vulnerable adults; the right of asylum-seekers and refugees to work and access state services; and the obligation of immigration officers, police and army to identify and quickly refer asylum-seekers to the country’s eligibility procedure. This “demonstrates how the refugee experience of a country can translate into a positive step forward in upholding refugees rights as human rights,” said Marion Hoffman, UNHCR’s regional representative, adding that the new legislation “is the expression of the Nicaraguan people to unite in their quest for protecting refugees.” In the 1980s ...

CALL ME BY MY NAME: Solutions with DEBTERAW, XXIX

June 13, 2008 – 2:42 pm
CALL ME BY MY NAME: Solutions with DEBTERAW, XXIX Obo Arada Shawl alias Wolde Tewolde  June 13, 2008  There is the Natural Way And there is the Artificial Way There is the Wrong Way And there is the EWAY Ethiopia Introduction On Saturday morning, June 7, 2008, there was a race – a race not for power, not for time or for revenge but a race for a CURE (Breast Cancer). The winner was ABYOT ABEBE. He stood 1st out of the 40, 000 participants. What a name! He must have been born during the Ethiopian Revolution. Deciphering his name tells me that the Eway Revolution is still blooming as he won the race for cure to bring peace and prosperity for Ethiopia.  Nowadays, it seems to me that there is a race to cure Ethiopia and Eritrea from poverty, disease and from sell out for disintegration. To me there was no poverty in Ethiopia and Eritrea. The truth ...

Hope, Concern Greet China’s Growing Prominence in Africa

May 5, 2008 – 6:19 am
http://www.ipsnews.net/africa/nota.asp?idnews=38630 TRADE: Hope, Concern Greet China's Growing Prominence in Africa Michael Deibert PARIS, Jul 23 (IPS) - While China's growing trade and investment flows to Africa have sparked a sometimes contentious debate with the United States and Europe over who has the continent's best interests at heart, a closer look at the dynamic developing reveals a political landscape where the rhetoric is rarely in line with the reality, observers say. When a recent World Bank report revealed that trade between Africa, the European Union (EU) and the U.S. is nearly equalled by that between Africa and Asia, a closer look at the numbers brought the picture of China's involvement in Africa into even starker relief. African exports to China grew 48 percent annually between 1999 and 2004, with 10 percent of all sub-Saharan exports now destined for the Asian behemoth. Likewise, as a whole, over the last five years Asian exports to Africa increased at an ...

Face of Ethiopia is uglier than one seen by Houston

May 2, 2008 – 12:11 pm
April 25, 2008, 9:36PM Face of Ethiopia is uglier than one seen by Houston Government's PR machine hides many brutal truths By DULA ABDU Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle The Houston International Festival and the Lucy exhibition at the Museum of Natural Science highlight the positive aspects of the African nation of Ethiopia. Knowingly or not, however, both iFest and the museum have been complicit with the government of Ethiopia in shunning a large segment of the Ethiopian population in Houston. The concerns of Ethiopians in diaspora and at home have been marginalized by the PR machine of the regime in Addis Ababa, which denies the existence of human rights violations and record famine. While the Ethiopian government is spending millions in lobbying, American tax dollars are being used to prop up the regime and to ship weapons. At the same time, almost a quarter of the Ethiopian population is facing starvation. The United States is about to ...

“Guilty of Reciting Quran” - Three University Students Dismissed (update) Sunday, 27 April 2008 [Negashi OJ] - Mekelle University has dismissed three of its Muslim students. The three were found guilty of possessing and reading of the Holy Quran.

April 18, 2008 – 12:06 pm
Ethiopia: Govt Blames Rebels for Blasts That Killed The Daily Monitor (Addis Ababa) 16 April 2008 Posted to the web 16 April 2008 Addis Abeba The government blamed rebels backed by arch-foe Eritrea on Tuesday for the two bombs that killed three people and wounded more than a dozen in the capita Addis Ababa. The attacks late on Monday came a day after the the first round of local, regional and federal elections that have prompted opposition claims of harassment and a boycott. "This is the work of the enemy, trying to disrupt Ethiopia's ongoing democratic elections," Information Minister Berhan Hailu told Reuters. No arrests have been made yet, police said. A state media said the explosions tore through two petrol stations in the city at the same time, killing and wounding residents who were queuing to buy fuel. Bloodstains and charred clothing lay at the scene of one of the blasts. Bereket Simon, special adviser to Prime Minister ...
