"When the #Ethiopian government and the Tigrayan opposition signed a cessation of hostilities agreement in late 2022, the deal ended one of the most lethal wars of the 21st century. ... Credible estimates suggest that the death toll surpassed 600,000, which is likely an underestimate."

"#Food is a “powerful portal into memory, family histories and #cultural #traditions,” according to the initiative’s website, and “transmits cultural identity l’dor vador — from generation to generation.”
Kuhn said they are definitely seeing an upswing in food-focused projects, as “food brings people together and is a naturally inviting thing. It crosses barriers and fosters pride and joy.”

Future #videos will feature others in the small local #Ethiopian #Jewish community, like Aviva Bayon of Walnut Creek, who last year collaborated with Chabad of Contra Costa to hold a #Sigd celebration, a holiday unique to Ethiopian #Jews."

#Ethiopian #artist Tesfaye Urgessa
hopes to generate compassion with his #paintings: “I don’t think most people do wrong or evil things because of a deficiency of information, it’s a deficiency of experience and they don’t know what it means to be in the other position. Painting has the ability to show experience without verbal communication. That’s what I’m trying to do.”

Early Modern Diplomacy

Indigenous #Ethiopian #ambassadors were usually religious officials of high rank or trusted members of the imperial household, perhaps because the Ethiopians thought that European Christian powers could best be approached by men of religion.

Indigenous #Congolese ambassadors, on the other hand, were normally relatives of the king and could be cast in a much more ‘noble’ or princely light. As high-ranking royal relatives and courtiers, they donned expensive European clothes given to them by the Portuguese monarchs or popes on arrival at court.

One other outstanding difference is noticeable between #ambassadors from these two countries, for some Congolese ambassadors brought their wives, who represented yet another facet of #Africa – African womanhood. (5/6)

#Meanwhile, #China keeps salivating over the prospects of an #Ethiopian #NavalBase on the #GulfOfAden because it dovetails so nicely with its audacious #BeltAndRoadInitiative (#BRI)

#Somaliland said it will press ahead with an agreement with landlocked #Ethiopia to give it access to the sea

The deal has been condemned by regional & intl groups as well as West, as it interferes with #Somalia’s territorial integrity. Tensions could threaten stability in #HornOfAfrica

My New Year’s resolution is to try out as many new baking or cooking recipes as I can. I have lots of cook books and many of them haven’t been used as much as they should. My son bought me an Ethiopian cookbook for Christmas and there seems to be lots of interesting recipes to try. First thing to catch my eye was Injeera (as I am heavily into fermented food!). Has anybody made them from scratch and if so, any tips? #injeera #ethiopian #cooking #bread #breadposting

Amnesty says Facebook, through its algorithms, amplifies dangerous content and is slow to respond to reports. Meta disputes the group’s findings.  It previously told the #BBC that it was developing its capabilities to tackle “violating content” in widely spoken #Ethiopian languages.
