U.S. Urges Ethiopia to Improve Human-Rights Record

Dec. 11 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. called on Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi’s government to re-examine a law that limits foreign funding of human rights and pro-democracy groups, and expressed concern over the closure of the country’s biggest privately owned newspaper.

The law cutting foreign funding, which was passed in January, “will constrain rather than promote the long-term democratization, governance and stability of Ethiopia,” according to a U.S. Embassy statement e-mailed to reporters yesterday in the capital, Addis Ababa.

Ethiopia has been a key ally of the U.S. in recent years. U.S.-backed Ethiopian troops invaded Somalia in December 2006, occupying Mogadishu for two years and assisting the U.S. in pursuit of suspected al-Qaeda members. The U.S. trains Ethiopia’s military and American aid to the country topped $850 million this year.

The U.S. criticism comes as political tensions in Ethiopia rise ahead of national elections scheduled for May, which the country’s opposition has said will not be free and fair.

Earlier this month, Addis Neger, a newspaper critical of government policies, closed after its top editors fled the country accusing the government of using a new anti-terror law to silence the press.

Harassment

“We are concerned about the recent closure of the Addis Neger newspaper, and the allegations of harassment and intimidation of private media,” the U.S. Embassy said.

The embassy said the Ethiopian government’s pursuit of charges against newspapers closed after the country’s disputed 2005 elections “contribute to a perception that space for independent media in Ethiopia is constrained.”

Shimeles Kemal, a spokesman for the Ethiopian government, denied that Addis Neger reporters had been harassed.

“No government organs would interfere to stifle free expression of the media in Ethiopia,” Shimeles said in an interview today in Addis Ababa. “Their allegations are entirely baseless.”

Shimeles also defended the new law on funding for human rights groups, saying there was “nothing repressive or restrictive” about the legislation.

“It boosts the free operations of home-grown and local non- governmental organizations and it delimits the tasks and functions of international NGOs,” he said.

In an interview yesterday, Gizachew Shiferaw, the acting chairman of the opposition Unity for Democracy and Justice, accused Meles’s government of selecting ruling-party militia members and party cadres as election monitors.

The National Electoral Board of Ethiopia is investigating the complaint, Shimeles said.

UDJ leader Birtukan Mideksa has been jailed since December 2008 after the government accused her of violating terms of a pardon that released her from jail in 2007.

Kennedy School students raise money to build library in Ethiopia

Students at John F. Kennedy Elementary School hope to raise $5,000 to build a library at their sister school in Ethiopia.

They previously donated more than $450 to purchase new desks and chairs for the Gordama School, which serves 1,800 kindergarteners through eighth graders who often sit on the floor in classes averaging 100 students, said Kristen Fudge, a Kennedy School teacher who is co-organizing the program.

Fifth graders also exchanged photos and letters with their African counterparts to learn about the people, culture, and school community in Africa. The relationship began when Fudge adopted an Ethiopian child and learned that the Gordama School was seeking an American sister school.

Students received letters and pictures from Ethiopian students this fall and wrote return letters which were sent to Africa Dec. 5 with a family adopting a child, Fudge said.

"It's opened their eyes to other parts of the world and situations other kids have to live in," she said. "I hope they will develop a connection to Ethiopia and realize they truly can make a difference."

The students are holding a fund-raiser at the Porter Square Pizzeria Uno Dec. 16 in which Uno will donate 20 percent of a participant's check to the cause. Attendees must present a donation ticket available here.

Students at the Gordama School in Ethiopia attend classes in crowded rooms where many have to sit on the floor.

U.S. urges further Ethiopian action on human rights

Addis Ababa, December 10, 2009 – The United States congratulates the Government of Ethiopia for its participation yesterday in the UN Human Rights Council’s Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process in Geneva. The United States has been a strong supporter of the UPR process and looks forward to the review in 2010 of its own record in promoting and protecting human rights and fundamental freedoms in the United States.

While recognizing the complex environment prevailing in many parts of Ethiopia, we commend the Government of Ethiopia for its declared commitments to promote and protect human rights. We appreciate the Ethiopian Government’s willingness to consider country visits by UN Human Rights Council special rapporteurs and mandate holders, and note that the UN Special Rapporteurs on the rights to freedom of opinion and expression, on torture, and on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, as well as the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention have outstanding visit requests.

The United States expresses the hope that Ethiopia will address positively the recommendations made to its delegation during the UPR session in Geneva. These recommendations included that the Ethiopian Government reassess the Charities and Societies Proclamation in light of concerns expressed by a number of UN member states that it will constrain rather than promote the long-term democratization, governance and stability of Ethiopia. Among other important issues raised, member states also recommended greater humanitarian access to the Ogaden areas of the Somali region so that organizations such as the International Committee of the Red Cross and UN relief agencies can provide assistance to conflict victims.

The United States considers a vibrant and independent media to be one of the pillars of a strong democracy. As such, we are concerned about the recent closure of the Addis Neger newspaper, and the allegations of harassment and intimidation of private media. The outstanding charges against private journalists, editors, publishers, and media houses may also contribute to a perception that space for independent media in Ethiopia is constrained. Ethiopia’s constitution guarantees freedom of the press and that the press shall enjoy legal protection to ensure its capacity to entertain diverse opinions.

On International Human Rights Day, we welcome the Ethiopian Government’s latest pledges and call on the government to work in earnest to address its obligations under international and domestic law.

Ethiopia-Kenya: Kenya’s offer to finance Gibe III a double standard?

Kenya’s Energy Minister, Kiratu Murangi has expressed his country’s readiness to cover half the cost of Ethiopia’s Gibe III Hydropower Project, that is, if international financial institutions reject their funding request. The surprise announcement was made when he met Alemayehu Tegenu, his Ethiopian counterpart, last Friday. Kenya has until now not only expressed misgivings over the construction of the Gibe III hydropower plant, which it claims would negatively impact its environment, but also suspicions over Ethiopia’s alleged plans to use the project’s water resources for a huge irrigation project.
Kenya’s latest position comes as a total surprise to foreign donors and international financial institutions who have supported environmental related arguments concerning the construction of the Gibe III power project. Experts have cited the project’s social and environmental impact on Kenya’s Lake Turkana, and its surrounding communities, as the principal cause of loan refusal from the financial institutions.

Earlier reports had suggested that the government of Kenya and its local NGOs had been urging the international community for the last couple of years to reject Ethiopia’s financial request as they defended their own power project.

Meanwhile, the European Investment Bank, the World Bank and the African Development Bank have still not responded favourably to the east African country’s 1.7 billion dollar loan request needed to complete the construction of Gibe III, which is set to generate an estimated power of 1800 MW.

Said a senior official of the Ethiopian Electric Power Corporation (EEPCo): “We organized an Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) which is perfect and accepted by the country’s Environment Protection Authority, however the lenders did not support it. They are not willing to assess the said impact due to pressure from the Kenyan government and NGO’s”.

Official sources have confirmed that, despite the setbacks, the EPPCo has gone ahead with the construction project using its own financial resources. 35 per cent of the project has so far been completed, but the remaining 65 per cent is beyond the country’s financial capacity. According to the source, without any foreseeable help from the international community, Ethiopia’s only solution would have been to negotiate a deal with the government of Kenya anyway.

“We invited a Kenyan delegation in June 2009 to physically observe the project site and visit the Gibe II Hydropower Project which had been successfully accomplished at the time of their visit”, the source said. “This strategy paid off as it cleared any doubts the Kenyan delegation would have concerning the controversial ecological issues surrounding the project.” Kiratu Murangi, Kenya Energy Minister, who led the delegation, told the press about the importance of Gibe III, especially to Kenya’s power demand, and its environmental friendliness.

“But the government of Kenya still expresses misgivings,” according to our source. Their doubt, however, does not concern the project’s ecological impact. In fact, according to the Ethiopian official, Kenya’s fear of Ethiopia using Gibe III as an excuse for huge irrigation projects led to a proposal requesting the establishment of a joint committee to monitor the Power project. Ethiopia rejected the proposal on the grounds of sovereignty and denied all allegations with respect to the suspected irrigation project.

Kenya, according to the official, has since requested Ethiopia for power supply from the recently completed Gibe II power plant, despite the fact that the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for power supply from Gibe III.

The official notes that Kenya only complained about the environmental issues related to the Gibe III project after having signed the MoU.

Energy ministers of the two countries discussed the issue last Friday during which the Kenyan minister revealed his government’s willingness to cover half of Gibe III cost. The official believes that this development is a considerable achievement for Ethiopia. According to him, Alemayehu Tegenu is also willing to sell power from Gillgel Gibe II in return.

Kenya needs to import between 200 and 400 MW of power from to Ethiopia.

Sudan and Djibouti were among the first countries to express their interest in the importation of power from the Tekeze and Gilgel Gibe II power plants, respectively. Tekeze which has a generating capacity of 300MW is set to sell power to Sudan whilst Gilgel Gibe II, with its generating capacity of 420 MW, will serve Djibouti. Transmission lines to Djibouti and Sudan are under construction.

Ethiopia - National HIV/AIDS Case Management Implementation Guidelines Launched

The Ethiopian Ministry of Health, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and University of Washington today launched National Case Management Implementation Guidelines for HIV/AIDS in Ethiopia at the Intercontinental Hotel, Addis Ababa. The guidelines offer a proactive approach to help clients adhere to anti-retroviral treatment (ART) and care in Ethiopia.

The Guidelines are the result of four years of collaboration by several stakeholders committed to developing a practical approach to providing quality care for HIV/AIDS clients, especially those needing chronic care which requires strict ART adherence and retention. Today’s launch brought together health policy makers, delegates from the World Health Organization, U.S. Government, development partners, and various government agencies and non-governmental organizations.

The rapid scale-up of ART in Ethiopia has presented resource challenges for health facilities. Through improved HIV/AIDS case management, health facilities can proactively and systematically identify those HIV clients who are at risk for non-adherence with their treatment regimes. In addition to retaining clients on care, case management enables care-givers to provide them with critical support to ensure adherence and the continuity of care by using trained lay persons known as Adherence Case Managers and Adherence Supporters. HIV/AIDS case management also helps to trace and encourage clients who have not followed up on their treatment regimes to resume their treatment and care. At the same time, it also involves shifting some of the tasks from over-burdened clinical staff to a trained Adherence Case Managers.

In 2006, the Ministry of Health requested University of Washington’s International Training and Education Center for Health- Ethiopia (I-TECH) to develop a sustainable, pragmatic, and culturally appropriate case management model for the treatment and management of HIV clients in Ethiopia. Through funding from the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and technical assistance from the CDC, I-TECH, the Ethiopian Ministry of Health, and the Federal HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Office (FHAPCO) developed an HIV/AIDS case management model including training curricula in 2007. The model was piloted at six hospitals in the Amhara, Tigray, and Afar regions. The guidelines unveiled today expand this model nationwide.

Is Ethiopian Airlines to join Star Alliance next year? May be

According to a story published by Addis Ababa, based The Reporter, Ethiopian Airlines is set to join Star Alliance, the World's first and largest airline alliance, by early next year. The paper cited a statement from Ethiopian Airlines public relations office.

nazret.com has contacted both Ethiopian Airlines and Star Alliance to confirm the story and it now appears that the Reporter story is misleading as it suggests a done deal. In an email we received from Ethiopian Airlines, it said, "Ethiopian is still under discussion to join star alliance and no date has been fixed". Star Alliance responded to our question and it denied the report saying, "We would like to inform you that Ethiopian Airlines has not been invited to join Star Alliance and also its not joining with star alliance next year."

But today, Air Transport World (ATW) reports that Star Alliance is holding exploratory talks with Ethiopian Airlines and will discuss the African carrier's potential membership at its chief executive board meeting today in Brussels. Star Alliance CEO told ATW that decision on ET is not "imminent," he stressed, and an announcement can be expected in the first half of 2010. So we will find out if Ethiopian will join by mid 2010.

For several years now, there have been many reports about Ethiopian airlines joining Star Alliance. In June 2007, Flight Global wrote an article titled "Ethiopian Airlines eyes Star Alliance". At the time, Ethiopian Airlines chief executive Girma Wake said a new codeshare with Lufthansa, signed in June, brings it "a step nearer" to joining Star. But he adds: "We have yet to start the process" of applying for membership. "It's not something we've decided but we are considering," he was quoted as saying. "We would like to do that [join Star]. We would like to do it in steps."

Ethiopian airlines has recently strengthened its code-share agreement with Lufthansa, a Star Alliance founding member. In addition to the Lufthansa deal, Ethiopian codeshares with Star Alliance member South African Airways (SAA) and has interline agreements with Star Alliance members Singapore Airlines and Thai Airways International.

The Star Alliance network was established in 1997 as the first truly global airline alliance to offer worldwide reach. Overall, the Star Alliance network offers 19,700 daily flights to 1,077 airports in 175 countries. Member airlines include Lufthansa, United, South African, EgyptAir, Continental, Air Canada, Singapore, Thai and Turkish.

Ethiopian Airlines has 35 new airplanes on order direct from the manufacturers. Including the recent orders of five B777-200LR and twelve A350-900, Ethiopian has also on order ten Boeing B787 and eight Bombardier aircraft. These investments will also enable Ethiopian to operate one of the youngest fleet in Africa with better comfort and efficiency.

Ethiopian Airlines currently operates 36 aircraft, comprising of ten B767-300ER, eight B757-200ER, two B757-260 F, two B747F, two MD-11F, five B737-700, two B737-800 and five Fokker 50 aircraft.
