Arguably, its popularity has never been so high as it has been for the past couple of months. It is for the most unlikely reason too. Apparently, it is about a proposed urban masterplan for the capital and the surrounding Oromia Special Zone incorporating five townships found encircling Addis Ababa: Sululta, Burayu-Menagesha, Sebeta, Gelan-Dukem, Legetafo/Legedadi. The turmoil, which was not that alarming at the beginning, did not take long to take a turn for the worst. According to official figures, 11 individuals lost their lives in an upheaval that erupted after the announcement of an integrated masterplan for Addis Ababa and the surrounding Oromia towns. At the core of this upheaval is a claim that the proposed joint masterplan embodies the desire by the capital city to expand horizontally thre

The government is trying to convince businesses that are engaged in the service industry to build factories and join the manufacturing sector. One such company that manages to expand its business from Coffee trading to establishing manufacturing plants is Aleta Land group. On May 24, 2014, the company that was established 10 years ago with a paid up capital of one million Birr, has inaugurated three manufacturing plants of PP bag, PVC/ HDPE pipe injection and plastic products in Hawassa town, Southern Regional State, with a cost of 68 million Birr. addisfortune

A country’s ability to take care of its needy people speaks volumes about its well being than mere numbers  Mahlet Fasil & Kalkidan Yibeltal   A pensioner for 23 years, Getahun Assefa, 83, of the former Imperial Guard, recalls nostalgically the days when it was possible to get by with his meager retirement benefit of less than US$20 (342 birr), small as it was. But the soaring cost of living in the past couple of years has made it almost impossible to make his ends met. Trying to lead a family of four (his wife and three children) with his retirement money means Getahun’s life is marked by a struggle for survival on a daily base. If he is to lead a somewhat dignified life, the government needs to “increase my pay”, he told  Addis Standard . Getahun is not alone in this; his ache reverberates in endless households throughout the country. The inadequate sums the state pays in varied forms of benefits are the sources of misery for thousands of senior citizens who had contr

SPONSOR WIRE Ethiopia's economy enjoyed robust growth from 2004 to 2011, averaging 11.3% GDP growth per year. Initially led by agriculture, growth subsequently became more broad-based, with a rising contribution from the mining, services and manufacturing sectors. Ethiopia has also improved considerably on basic service delivery indicators in recent years. The focus on decentralized basic service delivery coupled with rapid growth has led to a decline in the population living below the poverty line from 38.7% in 2004 to 29.6% in 2010. Despite this, Ethiopia still faces serious challenges, and the Government remains committed to improving social indicators, with a particular emphasis on increasing access to and quality of basic services. The African Development Bank's Promoting Basic Services Programme (PBS III) provides resources to safeguard and scale up expenditures on basic services for the poor and to help maintain macroeconomic stability by easing pressure on
