EDITORIAL For a poor country like Ethiopia, which has been bogged down in the swamps of a command economy for nearly two decades, economic growth has a strong reason to exist. Yet, whether it brings a blessing or a curse depends on the social and political implications that comes along with it. Every year, the government promises to realise double digit economic growth. For a country with 29pc of the population living under poverty line - one dollar a day - this may seem like a target to be commended. Nonetheless, the distributional aspect of economic growth is often overlooked. This entails how much of the benefit from economic growth is going to the rich and the poor, respectively. It also refers to how much of the cost of economic growth the rich and the poor, respectively, shall bear. At face value, this calls for the answering of two critical questions.

Opposition: Ethiopia police block rally, beat some The Associated Press Monday, Sept. 2, 2013 | 12:07 a.m. An opposition leader in Ethiopia says police have prevented his group from staging a rally to demand the release of jailed activists. Yilkal Getnet, who heads the opposition Blue party, said Sunday that police raided their headquarters in the capital, Addis Ababa, on Saturday night and beat up some party members. He said police also seized banners and equipment that would have been used during a street protest on Sunday. Yilkal says the rally was meant to highlight the continued detention of some journalists and Muslim activists. Ethiopia has charged at least 28 Muslims activists with terrorism. But those activists say they have been unfairly targeted by the government, which they accuse of harassment. A spokesman for Ethiopian police was not immediately available for comment. http://www.lasvegassun.com/news/2013/sep/02/af-ethiopia-protest/
