Ethiopia defends what is hers - first with the sword, now with the river.
150 years on from Gundet to Guba, sovereignty unbroken.

China, India and Pakistan waste 217.6 Mt of household food a year, over a third of the world's 631 Mt. It's Zero Waste Day at #COP31 - food waste targets in every NDC and make the biggest wasters lead. Food waste drives 8-10% of emissions.

1.05 billion tonnes of food wasted in 2022 - 631 Mt in homes, 290 Mt in food service, 131 Mt in retail. That's 132 kg per person while 783 million go hungry. #COP31 - no climate plan without food waste targets. Only 21 countries had them.

Food loss and waste generate around 10 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions. Every investment in preventing it both protects planet and people and saves money. Let’s reduce emissions together and safeguard our food and our future.

Africa emits about 4% of global emissions. China, the US and India emit 48.9%. Now a super El Niño threatens African harvests with drought and floods. Those who pollute most must pay most. Fund loss & damage. No more delay.

BAHIR DAR | 1962
A remarkable chapter in Ethiopia’s urban planning history. German architect & planner Max Guther developed Bahir Dar’s modernist master plan in 1960s, envisioning a new urban structure around Lake Tana & the Blue Nile.
A historical vision worth rediscovering

From 9th to 5th in Africa: Ethiopia’s government claims GDP rebasing lifts its economy to $210.7bn. The IMF has not adopted the new count yet. Recognition matters - but lasting progress comes from productivity, jobs and shared prosperity.
።
Ethiopia’s GDP story is bigger than a number. The rebased figures put the economy at 31.86 trillion birr in 2025/26, while the chart tracks real growth across the years. A changing measure reshapes the picture - but the work of building prosperity continues.

Before 1997, Assab was Ethiopia’s economic & security heartbeat, handling most of its imports, exports, & naval operations. Before the war, 70% of its population was Ethiopian. Assab is 700 km from Asmara -six times farther than Massawa. History & geography matter. (IRIN, 2000)
