የጽሁፉ ምንጭ፦  The guardian Western backers of the Ethiopian education system should not ignore reports of violent clashes on university campuses Over the past 15 years,  Ethiopia  has become home to one of the world's fastest-growing higher education systems. Increasing the number of graduates in the country is a key component of the government's industrialisation strategy and part of its ambitious plan to become a middle-income country by 2025. Since the 1990s, when there were just two public universities, almost 30 new institutions have sprung up. On the face of it, this is good news for ordinary Ethiopians.

PRODUCTION ON FOOD SECURITY IN SNNP REGION ------- Summary ------- 1. Late, uneven, and generally poor 2008 seasonal rains resulted in poor coffee production and expected decreases in sweet potato cultivation, negatively affecting food security in eastern Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples (SNNP) Region. Humanitarian agencies expect food insecurity in coffee-producing and sweet potato- dependent areas of SNNP Region to continue until the usual green maize harvest in June, negatively affecting more than 600,000 individuals in coffee- producing areas in the coming months. 2. In response, USAID's Office of U.S. Foreign Disaster Assistance (USAID/OFDA) and USAID/Ethiopia continue to provide assistance through non- governmental organization (NGO) partners and report on humanitarian conditions. In Sidama and Wolayta zones, the Government of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia multi-donor Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) protects a
