Pleased to join government representatives and partners in #Addis# Ababa ahead of the seventh Emergency Medical Teams Global Meeting, the first to be held in our region. Congratulations to Ethiopia on the @WHO classification of its national emergency medical team. I also appreciate the contribution of African teams supporting emergency responses across the region. Sustained investment in national teams, through training and financing, is essential to ensure rapid deployment when emergencies strike. I urge governments and partners to sustain this investment, guided by country priorities. WHO will continue supporting countries build effective emergency medical teams. #EMTGlobalMeeting2026#

The Ethiopia Luban Workshop smart building technology training base was launched in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, on Saturday to promote smart building technologies and practical engineering expertise

While Ethiopia’s government appears to have the upper hand in the latest round of fighting, the conflict has worsened a growing rift between Addis Ababa and regional powers, writes @nosmotg.

“The most consequential victims of the current China shock are not workers in Detroit or Stuttgart, but future workers in places such as Addis Ababa, Dhaka, Lagos, Nairobi, Phnom Penh, Surat, and Tirupur,” argue @shoumitro_c and @arvindsubraman.

🇪🇹 60 Christians were killed in Ethiopia in a single week, and the government and rebels are blaming each other. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church says 14 believers were killed in one attack on October 20, and 46 more in another just 4 days later, both in the Oromiya region surrounding the capital, Addis Ababa. Over 20 homes were burned, and more than 20 people are in hospital with severe injuries. The regional government says a rebel alliance carried out the attacks to spark religious conflict, without offering any evidence. A source linked to the rebels says the government did it. That alliance formed just last month, with 7 armed groups vowing to overthrow PM Abiy Ahmed. While both sides point fingers, the families of 60 people are left burying their dead.
