Sidama Coffee remain on top of the Ethiopian Premier League football club competition at the end of the first round on 27 points from 13 games. This is a very excellent achievement for Sidama Coffee. This year the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples State has four representatives in the league; the leaders Sidama Coffee, Wolayita Dicha, Arba Minch City and Hawassa City. Addis Ababa takes the lions share with six; St. George, Coffee, Electric, Banks, Mekelakeya and Dedebit. The Amhara and Oromia states have equal two representatives; Dashen Brewery, Woldiya City and Adama City and Muger Cements, respectively. St. George had the possibility to overtake the top spot if they had collected the full three points in their away remaining match against Wolayta Dicha on Sunday but it was not to be so as the game ended in a goalless tie. As a result St. George finished the first round taking the second place on 25 points while Wolayita Dicha moved up to the third place on 22 point

Suffocating dissent   N obody trusts politicians, but some governments are more despicable than others. The brutal gang ruling Ethiopia is especially nasty. They claim to govern in a democratic pluralistic manner, they say they observe human rights and the rule of law, that the judiciary is independent, the media open and free and public assembly permitted as laid out in the constitution. But the ruling Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) systematically violates fundamental human rights, silence all dissenting voices and rules the country in a suppressive violent fashion, that is causing untold suffering to millions of people throughout the country. There is no freedom of the press, journalists are persecuted, intimidated and arrested on false charges, so too their families. All significant media outlets and print companies are state owned or controlled, as is the sole telecommunications company – allowing for unfettered Government monitoring and

NEW YORK ( Thomson Reuters Foundation ) - Children across Africa face unacceptably high levels of physical, sexual and emotional violence at home, at school and in the streets, researchers specializing in children's rights said on Wednesday. Some 92 percent of pupils interviewed in Togo, 86 percent in Sierra Leone, 73 percent in Egypt, 71 percent in Ghana and 60 percent in Kenya said they had experienced violence from teachers and classmates, according to a report by the African Child Policy Forum (ACPF). The report by the Ethiopia-based research institute also showed that 60 percent of children in Zambia, Morocco and Uganda had been physically punished by family members, as were nearly half of children surveyed in Mali and Ethiopia. In Ethiopia, Mali, Morocco, Uganda and Zambia, 16 percent of children interviewed said they had scars on their bodies due to physical punishment. "The burden of creating a continent where children live and grow up in safety principally l

When  Dr. Carol Harris  arrived for an early morning meeting this summer at Black Lion Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, dozens of weary patients and their families huddled together in dark stairwells, or on wooden benches lining the hallways outside the dimly lit oncology ward. One patient lay motionless, shrouded in a colorful sheath, surrounded by family. (From left) Drs. Aynalem Abreha, Carol Harris and Agonafer Tekalegne at Black Lion Hospital, in Addis Ababa As Ethiopia's main cancer referral hospital, the government-run facility offers the only sliver of hope for more than 200 new patients who arrive every day from around the sub-Saharan nation. Each year, Black Lion gets about 6,000 new cancer cases, most of them poor individuals traveling from distant villages by bus, foot,  bijaj,  or even donkey cart.       On this rainy day at 8 a.m., the lights flickered and the radiation machine was shut down—a frequent occurrence with the rolling power outages that regularly
