The growth is below its average of the last decade, and to push that rate higher, the government needs to change policy to encourage private investment, the Bank said. "We still think growth could be robust - in the order of 7 percent in the medium term would not be unexpected," said Lars Christian Moller, the bank's lead economist in Ethiopia, in an interview with Reuters. Moller said Ethiopia's US$43 billion economy would need to repeat its performance of the last 10 year to make it into

Binyam Taye, 29, a teller in one of the branches of the Awash International Bank, located around the National Theatre, usually eats his lunch in one of the informal restaurants, called mother bet. These have become increasingly popular for their relatively fair prices. Challenged by his fixed income, Binyam is forced to eat his lunch and sometimes his dinner at the informal restaurant, paying 15 Br on average for one meal, since 2010. "The price is much cheaper than in common restaurants; this has helped me a lot to allocate my monthly income properly", Binyam told Fortune, while eating his lunch at the one of the mother bets located around Ras Abebe Aregay Street, close to the National Theatre. Informal restaurants - like the one Binyam regularly visits, owned by Tiruwork Negatu, a 70-year-old mother of seven - have become increasingly popular. Most of these venues are owned by older women, thus their rather unambiguous name. Tiruwork runs the business for more tha

HRLHA Statement August 2013 The Human Rights League of the Horn of Africa strongly condemns the atrocious torture and inhuman treatment by the Ethiopian government against its citizens, and holds it accountable for the death of a political prisoner and prisoner of conscience Engineer Tesfahun Chemeda on August 24, 2013 in Kaliti prison. HRLHA informants confirmed that Engineer Chemeda died in Kaliti Penitentiary due to the severe torture inflicted on him while he was in different detentions centers from 2007 until the day he died. We also protest the fact that he was denied medical treatment by the government. Engineer Tesfahun Chemeda, an Oromo national, was handed over by Kenyan authorities to Ethiopian Security agents in April 2007 from where he had granted a refugee status from UNHCR in Kenya after he had fled to Kenya to escape persecution by the EPRDF government of Ethiopia. Engineer Tasfahun Chemeda was one of the 15 Oromo nationals who was sentenced to life

ALEMAYEHU G MARIAM For the past several months, I have been commenting on the findings of the World Bank’s “ Diagnosing Corruption in Ethiopia ”, a 448-page report covering eight sectors (health, education, rural water supply, justice, construction, land, telecommunications and mining). In this my sixth commentary, I focus on “corruption in the justice sector”. The other five commentaries are  available at my blog site .    Talking about corruption in the Ethiopian “justice sector” is like talking about truth in Orwell’s 1984 Ministry of Truth (“Minitrue”).  The purpose of Minitrue is to create and maintain the illusion that the Party is absolute, all knowing, all-powerful and infallible. The purpose of the Ministry of Justice in Ethiopia is to create the illusion that the ruling regime under the command and control of the Tigrean People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) masquerading as the Ethiopian People’s Democratic Front (EPDRF) is absolute, all knowing, all-powerful and infalli
