Ethiopia’s civil war is a disaster that’s only getting worse
...Inevitably, the crisis has resurrected memories of Ethiopia’s previous experience with famine. In the 1980s, an estimated 1 million people died from starvation and malnutrition. Comparisons are also being drawn to Africa’s other cataclysmic ethnic conflicts, including the Rwandan genocide.
Ethiopia is Africa’s second-most populous nation and was, until the civil war broke out last fall, held up as a beacon for the rest of the continent: Its recent economic success was cited by investors and aid donors alike as an example for other developing countries.
That success is now imperiled as the conflict exacts a heavy toll on the economy. The risk premium on Ethiopia’s dollar debt has almost doubled this year. The ardor of investors has cooled with the government’s pleas for a debt restructuring. As Bloomberg News has pointed out, the premium demanded to hold Ethiopia’s 2024 Eurobonds instead of US Treasuries has climbed to 987 basis points, the highest in Africa after Zambia, which is in default. The average spread for African dollar bonds is 541 basis points...

...With shuttle-diplomacy and mild financial restrictions having failed, Western governments will need to lean more heavily on the prime minister to pause the fighting and allow humanitarian supplies into the war zone. The Biden administration can lead the way by suspending all nonessential aid to Addis Ababa, as well as blocking assistance from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund. Washington should also follow through on its threat to cancel duty-free access for Ethiopian exports to the US market under the African Growth and Opportunity Act.
Having already announced some restrictions on visas for Ethiopian government and military officials involved in “perpetrating the conflict,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken should now impose harsher sanctions, including freezing any assets these officials hold in the US, and pressing the Europeans to do likewise.
Anticipating a ratcheting up of Western pressure, Abiy is seeking support elsewhere: He got some from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on a visit to Ankara earlier this month. But the combined clout of the US and Europe remains substantial, and it should now be deployed to save millions of Ethiopians from calamity.

When even the ሻለቃ starts hating you, then it's over!
“ትምህርት ቤቶችንና ሆስፒታል ማውደም በጦር ወንጀልኝነት መታየት አለበት”- አትሌት ሻለቃ ኃይሌ ገብረሥላሴ -

አዲስ አበባ፣ ጳጉሜን 3፣ 2013 (ኤፍ ቢ ሲ) አሸባሪው ህወሓት
ትምህርት ቤቶችና ሆስፒታሎች ላይ እያደረሰ ያለው ውድመት እጅግ አስነዋሪና በጦር ወንጀለኝነት መታየት ያለበት ድርጊት ነው
ሲል አትሌት ሻለቃ ኃይሌ ገብረሥላሴ ተናገረ፡፡
ማን ከማን ጋር እንኳ እንደተጋጩ የማያውቁ ህጻናትን ትምህርት ቤት ማውደም በምን ይገላጻል?
በማለት ነው በምሬት የጠየቀው፡፡
አትሌቱ በአማራ ክልል በዋግ ኸምራ ዞን ፃግብጂ ወረዳ በዳስ ጥላ ለሚማሩ ህጻናት ያስገነባው ትምህርት ቤት በመውደሙ እጅግ እንዳዘነም ነው የገለጸው፡፡
ትምህርት ቤቱን ለመገንባት ከገንዘብ ወጪ በላይ በርካታ ውጣ ውረዶችን እንዳሳለፈ የገለጸው አትሌቱ÷ የትምህርት ቤቱ መውደም በአካባቢው ማህበረሰብ ቁስል ላይ እንጨት እንደመስደድ ይቆጠራል ነው ያለው፡፡
አትሌቱ ያስገነባውን ጨምሮ በአካባቢው በርካታ ትምህርት ቤቶችና ሆስፒታሎች መውደማቸውን ጠቅሶ፤ ይህም የአሸባሪው ህወሃትን
የክፋት ጥግ ያሳያል
በማለት አስረድቷል፡፡
በየትኛውም ዓለም በሚካሄዱ ጦርነቶች ትምህርት ቤቶችና ሆስፒታሎችን ዒላማ ማድረግ የጦር ወንጀል የሚያስጠይቅ መሆኑንም አትሌት ሻለቃ ሃይለ ገብረስላሴ መናገሩን ኢዜአ ዘግቧል፡፡
ትምህርት ቤቱም ከአምስት መቶ በላይ ለሚሆኑ የአካባቢው ህጻናት አገልግሎት ሲሰጥ ቆይቷል፡፡
