by allAfrica.com It seems the chance of the Ethiopian National Football Team to reach the group stage in the World Cup qualifiers is highly likely, the national football fans suggested. Ethiopia will meet first Sao Tome e Principe in World Cup qualifier in mid-October. A win in the home and away match will give the national side to face Congo in the second round. Fifty-three African countries were in the draw made in Russia's city of St. Petersburg a couple of weeks earlier. The only country out of the draw was Zimbabwe following their FIFA expulsion for failing to pay a former coach. The format of the World Cup qualifiers also helps the national side to progress up to the decisive stage. Just look at the format: the winners in the first round advance to the second round, where they will play a two-legged play off, before the 20 second round winners go into five groups of four, with the winners of that group stage qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

An Ethiopian court jailed Muslim leaders, activists to lengthy terms

By: www.businessinsider.com   You might have heard or seen the term “fair trade” when buying your coffee. Fair trade coffee provides coffee growers, most of whom live in developing countries, with fairer wages that can help lift them out of poverty. Hugh Jackman journeyed to Ethiopia in 2009 as an ambassador for World Vision Australia, a humanitarian organisation, to see first hand how fair trade coffee makes a difference to both local growers and the environment. A film crew tagged along and filmed his experience for the recent documentary Jackman wanted to see how hard life can be for farmers, some of whom struggle to get enough food. Once he reaches Ethiopia he meets up with a 27 year old farmer named Dukale. He aims to try and help Dukale, and farmers like him, to lift themselves out of poverty. “It’s not the way things are meant to be. And it’s not the way things have to be,” Jackman says in the film’s trailer. One of the best way to help these farmers is to
