Addis Ababa Education Office; He explained to
Addis Ababa Education Office; He explained to Tikvah Ethiopia that the provision of water and infrastructure is a challenge for the feeding system in schools.
Mr. Alemu Hailu, a student nutrition expert at the Tikvah Ethiopia, explained that the nutrition system is the biggest help in the learning process.
He stated that the presence of the system in schools is bringing multiple results.
But they mentioned that there are some challenges in this process.
He pointed out that although there are many changes compared to the past, the #water_supply problem is a challenge.
Mr. Alemu said that a lot of water is needed especially for food; "There are 5 days of entry (from Monday to Friday) between these days there is a time when the water supply is not as required," he said.
He explained that alternatives are being taken to solve the problem and more water tankers will be used.
He stated that there are problems in addressing some schools on the said day and said, "Then water should be provided."
He also pointed out that there is a certain level of challenge in making the dining halls built by the government and the World Bank have electricity.
Although there are dining halls, there are some challenges in the supply of electricity for cooking.
On the other hand, people who are engaged in school feeding and managing families are heard complaining that the payment they are paid is "too little" especially considering the cost of living.
What is being done in Tikvah and Ethiopia to address their grievances? he asked.
Mr. Alemu; He said, "What is being offered in connection with my income is constantly improving according to my living situation."
"For example, by conducting a study centered on the living conditions, it has been increased to #23 Birr per student (per capita)," he said.
"This year, about 3.2 billion birr has been allocated for the food program," he added.
"It means that certain improvements are being made at that level. When it started (the entry program) was 14 birr, now there is a situation where it has reached 23 birr. And for the future, there are procedures to be studied and improved according to the season," he explained.
Tikvah Ethiopia received this information a week ago when the Addis Ababa Education Bureau, together with other institutions, was conducting a 6-month performance evaluation regarding the coordination of food and nutrition.
Due to the security problem in the Amhara region, the income from tourism
Due to the security problem in the Amhara region, the income from tourism has decreased, the monks have been forced to evacuate and the monastery is unable to start the construction that had started due to the danger of the lake water being full.
Imahoi Wolete Selase, the head of the monastery, had a visit to Tikvah Ethiopia.
what are they saying
➡ Monks are being displaced. We were dependent on tourist income, but it stopped because of the security problem.
➡ There is no such thing as a tourist because of the seasonal problem. The flow has stopped. We don't even have a farm. We always earn from tourists.
➡ People used to buy our handicrafts as a blessing, but for the last 6 months, we are in dire straits.
➡ If we look up, it is heaven, if we look down, it is earth. We are in a very difficult situation.
➡ There were 40 monks in the monastery; However, only 35 monks remained in the monastery due to the displacement of 5 monks. I am afraid that the remaining monks will migrate.
➡ Our urgent problem / what we need is daily sustenance / daily allowance is annual clothing. After this, if our handicraft products can be used in the market, we will leave the patronage.
on the other hand ; As the monastery is facing a big threat due to the fullness of water especially in winter, a proposal was made by Bahir Dar University and Culture and Tourism and the construction around it was started, but only 65 meters of the 300 meters needed for construction were built. The total cost of the construction is more than 12 million.
It is said that the monastery of Cross Glory Unity was founded in 1314 by the righteous Abune Zeyohannes and that Abune served there for 35 years.

On February 12, when Italy invaded Ethiopia, Ethiopians who were
On February 12, when Italy invaded Ethiopia, Ethiopians who were massacred under the orders of General Graziani are remembered. 87 years ago, the Italian General Graziani gathered the residents of Addis Ababa at the former Gente Lol Palace to celebrate the birth of a prince from the Italian royal family. At this time, two young men named Mogs Asgodom and Abrha Deboc, who were angry about the invasion of Fascist Italy, came out of the crowd and threw a bomb at Graziani. As a result, Graziani and several of his officers were wounded. Fascist Italian General Graziani, who was annoyed by this, ordered the Ethiopians to be massacred mercilessly. The Ethiopian martyrs were killed in fascist Italy on February 12, 1929, exactly 87 years ago. 30 thousand Ethiopians disappeared in just three days, including young Abrha Debok and Moges Asgedom. The Martyrs Memorial Monument is standing in the Six Kilo Square in Addis Ababa.

The father who dared to force his 13-year-old son
The father who dared to force his 13-year-old son was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
In South Ethiopia Region, Kore Zone (former Amaro Special District), Kele 01 Kebele, commonly known as "Tuesday Sefer", a father who dared to rape his son in March 2015 was sentenced to prison, according to Tikvah Ethiopia.
The perpetrator of the crime was a 42-year-old father named Ato Santayhu City Officer who was driving his 13-year-old 8th grade student.
He tied her mouth with the scarf she was wearing and forced her.
When the girl felt pain in her uterus due to the act and was unable to cope, she went to her neighbor who is the 2nd prosecution witness, crying and biting, and told the details of what happened to her.
In the examination, it was confirmed that the crime of sexual intercourse was committed against the child and that the HIV AIDS virus was found in her blood.
All the concerned parties heard the matter and conducted a criminal investigation.
The Chief Prosecutor of Kore Zone filed a case and submitted the case to the High Court of Amaro Special District at the time.
The defendant was asked at the trial about having committed a crime, and he denied and argued that he had not committed a crime.
In the dispute, the girl is 13 years old and is punishable by imprisonment of 5-20 years, and the father has been denied bail for threatening and abusing the girl.
The court heard the girl's statement and the prosecutor's counsel explained that the crime was committed in detail according to the prosecution's case, and even though the defendant's defense witnesses tried to deny that the father did not commit the act, it was pointed out that they did not clearly explain anything.
In this way, the court saw the testimony of the witnesses, the medical documents submitted along with the relevant laws, and the person was found guilty unanimously.
When the prosecutor was asked about the punishment, he said that he did not have any because it is listed in the law itself, and the defendant's lawyer; They submitted 3 mitigations to the court because their client has never been convicted of a crime, is a family man, and is a user of HIV/AIDS medication.
The Justice Office of the Zone informed Tikvah Ethiopia that the court decided to sentence him to 10 years imprisonment.
The information was compiled and presented by Job Tkuye, a member of the Tikvah Ethiopian family.

Dr. Leges Tulu; Marawi confirmed that there was a conflict between the Defense Forces and Fano militants.
"The militants used the right of self-defense as they attacked the camp where the army was stationed in four directions to loot the equipment and logistics," they said.
"When the defense forces exercised their right to defend themselves and took action, these forces returned to the homes of individuals," said Dr. Legese.
Dr. Legese said, "The defense army has defended itself." "The defense force did not target any kind of civilian," he said.

The minister who was asked about this; "There is no confirmed information about such action being taken," he said.

Dr. Legese responded by saying that the European Union and the American government have always been concerned about Ethiopia, but nothing is being done.
"We have our own institutions. Our institutions are responsible to the public. If any party commits an offense, if any party causes damage, action will be taken according to the laws and procedures," he said.

The Ministry of Finance has declared that it has not completely
The Ministry of Finance has declared that it has not completely #banned the entry of fuel-powered vehicles into the country.
It will not be forgotten that the Ministry of Transport and Logistics has announced the ban on the entry of gasoline-powered automobiles.
Wasihun Abate, senior legal advisor of the Ministry of Finance, what did he say?
- There is no directive or decision that prohibits the entry of gasoline-powered vehicles into the country and allows only electric vehicles to enter the country.
- There is a situation where the Ministry of Finance is implementing an Excise Tax Proclamation to encourage the entry of electric vehicles and to discourage the entry of fuel-powered vehicles.
- Banning imported products is impossible according to the law of the World Trade Organization, so encouraging those who use the country's tax system to grow the economy is being done to prevent the spread of harmful ones.
- We do not know anything about the matter presented to Parliament by the Ministry of Transport and Logistics.
- Ministry of Finance has amended the Excise Tax Proclamation so that electric vehicles can be widely introduced. Proclaim:
* 5% excise tax for fully equipped electric vehicles
* It allows for tax-free entry for those who are
dispersed and come together in the country.
* The amount of fuel used by gasoline-powered vehicles is 10% or more.
- The Excise Tax Proclamation will be implemented by traders after the ban on 38 different products from opening a letter of credit is lifted due to the lack of foreign currency.
- Currently, the vehicles that are being imported into the country are not imported through the LC that was opened before the ban, but there are no traders who are specially allowed to import them.
- Unless the LC ban is lifted, vehicles used for business or government offices will not be imported only with the approval of the Ministry of Finance. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) are not affected by the ban, but they are subject to excise tax when importing a fuel-powered vehicle.
Regarding this opinion of the Ministry of Finance, the head of the Ministry of Transport and Logistics, who did not want to be named, said that the ban was not specified in the directive/decision.
However, all the concerned offices have stated that in the direction given in the review of the 100-day performance report with the Prime Minister, Dr. Abiy Ahmed, the entry of fuel-powered domestic automobiles has been prohibited.
An official of the Customs Commission said that the decision issued by the National Bank is currently being implemented, so the decision is not just a new directive of the Prime Minister, which prohibits the entry of fuel-powered automobiles.
As announced by the National Bank on October 4/2015, vehicles are among the 38 products banned from entering the country. Motor-related products include domestic automobiles and three-legged vehicles, while the ban does not include electric ones.
What does the Ministry of Transport and Logistics say?
What does the Ministry of Transport and Logistics say?
My name is Dr.
- It is not possible to bring into the country a #new or #old private automobile that runs on fuel. It is directed to be only electricity that is assembled in the country.
- Gasoline automobiles have been banned from entering the country since last year. But until recently they were imported in different forms. For example: It would not be applicable to them as #Repatriate Diaspora; They were not banned from importing fuel. But this does not work now. Private automobiles will not be allowed to enter for any reason, whether on the pretext of diaspora or under any circumstances.
- Car importers can only import electric cars.
- A decree was issued to remove very old cars from service. A law has been issued to ensure that the service that cars can provide is the same as their age, and a situation is being worked out to ensure that cars whose age is beyond their service life are removed from the market and service.
- Especially in Addis Ababa, instead of taxis that carry a small number of people, multi-modal transport that carries many people at a time is being encouraged. In Addis Ababa, like other developed cities, minibus taxis carrying 10 or 12 people will be taken out of service. This will remove the congestion and pollution from the city.
- It is also intended to reduce the number of vehicles by increasing multimodal transport. Multi-vehicles are also being made to be electric. Addis Ababa will buy electric buses soon.
- Car plates will no longer simply spread. There is a situation where importers take plates / buy in bulk and go to the border area and install new / old car and drive it as an existing legal car. It works to control the supply of raga.
- In Addis Ababa, a parking lot is being built to prevent cars from parking on the road. Mandatory work is being done to prevent unauthorized parking within 2 kilometers of the city.
- Public transport users of Addis Ababa city will be restricted in order to ensure that public transport users do not have to worry about the time they leave and arrive at work and arrive at their desired time. The hours during which this will happen have also been selected. It will be implemented soon.
Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church; She pointed out that the individuals
Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church; She pointed out that the individuals whom she had previously denounced are still pushing her with their illegal activities and announced that she will take the individuals to court.
Condemn the individuals still; She protested their actions.
She explained that the clothes they were wearing were from the church and that she would make them take them off.
At this time last year, 4 fathers, including Father Gebremariam Negasa, were among those who said they were appointed as pontiffs in an "illegal" way and later did not return to the church in reconciliation.
They said that this was because it was necessary to name the seat of the Holy Synod of the Oromia Orthodox Tewahedo Church, which was established in 2015.
Regarding this matter, the Head of the Permanent and Temporary Project Department of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, Angel of Life Komos, Father W. Jesus Seifu, gave a statement.
In this statement; "The individuals are making a statement with the priesthood they don't have," he said.
They said that the Church still strongly condemns these bodies because they are outside the canon.
"The Church will ask in the court of law; in spiritual justice, as it has condemned in the past, it will still say that my law, my system, my clothes, my dogma will be respected," he added.
"Previously, they were banned by the court from moving anywhere without the approval of the church and from providing services. They have been handed over. After this, we will ask them in court. We will take them off because the clothes they are wearing belong to the church. They are illegal," he said.
"In the past, this issue of illegal appointment activities is not only about those who were raised from the Oromia side, but also those who were raised from the Tigray side," they said, adding that it is not correct and the Holy Synod will not accept it.
They said that there is another body that can implement the decision of the church, so we are patiently waiting for it to be implemented.
The head; He said that the fathers who were active in Oromia in the past came back at the call of the church, and in the discussion with the government, they were allowed to return to their previous work.
They stated that the four did not return and continued with their illegal activities and stressed that "they cannot raise the name of the church, they cannot tarnish its name".
"Calling an illegal group '5 Kilo Illegal' is very bold," said the official. They said that what gave them this courage is that they stood up redeeming the season.
"#Religion and #Politics are mixed," he added.
"Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and its followers will not accept this illegal act, and since you have been condemned, the believers will not be blessed by your mother's cross," they said.
In the past, the church has warned the #media, who are making the statement of the bodies I have identified as legitimate, saying, 'Take your hands off the church, your media'.

"The duality of the sexes and their union with each other is not a social invention, it is #from_the_creator" - Greek Orthodox Church
The Greek Orthodox Church has publicly opposed the country's draft law on same-sex marriage and the adoption of children of such couples.
The bill is scheduled to be presented and voted on by the country's parliament in the middle of next week.
However, the Holy Synod of the Greek Orthodox Church said the draft law would allow children to grow up without a father or mother in a mixed living environment. He condemned it as exploitative of women who rent their wombs to conceive children for such couples.
The Holy Synod of the Greek Church, which discussed the issue for four hours, said, "The duality of the sexes and their union with each other is not a social discovery, but comes from the Creator."
The bishop of the church, Ironimos, on his part, protested that "the draft law is a new thing that aims to destroy social ties in the country."
Conservative Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who is said to personally support the issue, said the bill would be presented next week.
However, a third of the members of the council may oppose it, Deutsche Welle Radio reported, citing Agence France-Presse.
