Reporter Journalist Released on Bail

KEYIR NEWS:- Abebe Fiker, a journalist with Reporter newspaper, was released on bail after spending three days in police custody. He was arrested on April 15, 2024, while reporting in Lideta Sub-City, and had been held at the Geja Police Station under the Lideta Sub-City Police Department. He appeared before the Addis Ababa City Administration Court on April 17, where the court granted his release on bail set at 10,000 birr. During the hearing, police stated that Abebe was detained for allegedly filming and photographing government officials and premises in the sub-city without prior authorization or presenting valid press credentials. Authorities claimed his actions were deemed suspicious and potentially inciting, and requested a 14-day extension to conduct further investigations, citing concerns that he might tamper with evidence or evade justice if released. In response, Abebe’s legal counsel argued that while the journalist did not carry his credentials at the time, h...

Homeownership Slipping Away as Foreign Property Law Looms

BY YAFET GIRMA OPINION :- On Wednesday, the Ethiopian government has taken a significant step that could reshape not only our housing market but also the very concept of ownership and belonging in our cities. The Council of Ministers passed a draft proclamation that would allow foreigners to own or possess immovable property in Ethiopia. As this legislation heads to the Parliament for further discussion and potential ratification, I find myself grappling with both cautious optimism and deep concern. Let me be clear: I am not opposed to foreign investment. Ethiopia has long needed a more dynamic and diversified economy, and external capital, if managed wisely, can help us get there. We live in an increasingly interconnected world, and no country thrives in isolation. However, the question that haunts me and many others is: At what cost? For decades, owning a home in Ethiopia has symbolised not just economic stability but dignity, independence, and a stake in the country’s future. Y...

UK Throws Weight Behind Morocco’s Sahara Autonomy Offer

KEYIR NEWS:- The United Kingdom “considers Morocco’s autonomy proposal, submitted in 2007 as the most credible, viable and pragmatic basis for a lasting resolution of the dispute” over the Moroccan Sahara, and “will continue to act bilaterally, including economically, regionally and internationally in line with this position to support resolution of the conflict”. This position was expressed in a Joint Communiqué signed, Sunday in Rabat, by the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, David Lammy, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, Nasser Bourita . This document underlines that the UK “follows closely the current positive dynamic on this issue under the leadership of His Majesty King Mohammed VI.” It adds that London “recognises the importance of the question of Western Sahara for the Kingdom of Morocco,” noting that this settling th...

Abiy Defends Economic Priorities, Urges Peace, & Reveals Bold Plans in Parliament

KEYIR NEWS:- In a sweeping address to Parliament, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD) presented his administration’s performance report for the 2024/25 fiscal year, defended controversial policies, and laid out the government’s vision ahead of the proposed 1.98 trillion Birr federal budget approval for 2025/26. The session was marked by a mix of heated exchanges, light-hearted moments, and serious warnings, as MPs questioned the administration’s economic direction and political posture amid public discontent and regional tensions. Economic Performance and Policy Defense Abiy highlighted a significant leap in export revenues, reporting $3.5 billion from gold alone, up from just three tons to 37 tons this year. He announced Ethiopia will begin exporting natural gas in partnership with Chinese investors once Parliament reconvenes from recess. The move, he said, reflects gains in mining, agriculture, manufacturing, and construction. He also revealed that the state-owned Commercial Bank of...

Indian Parliamentary Delegation Concludes Diplomatic Sojourn to Ethiopia Amid Shared Condemnation of Terrorism

KEYIR NEWS: – In a culmination most dignified, the multi-party Parliamentary delegation of the Republic of India, under the esteemed leadership of Ms. Supriya Sule, Member of the Lok Sabha, has this eve concluded their diplomatic engagement in Ethiopia. This visitation marked the final chapter in a quadripartite tour orchestrated in the wake of the grievous terror assault of 22nd April in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, and the subsequent military undertaking therein denominated as Operation Sindoor. During their tenure in Addis Ababa, the delegation did partake in manifold discourses, replete with gravity and fruitfulness, with eminent personages of the Ethiopian state, scholars, sages of civil society, the learned members of think-tanks, and the Indian diaspora, who dwell in this ancient land. In these assemblies, the Indian envoys did, with one accord, reaffirm the Republic’s unyielding doctrine of zero tolerance toward the scourge of cross-border terrorism. They dis...

Africa Must End Raw Material Exports to Break Free from Poverty, Says AfDB President

KEYIR NEWS:- The President of the African Development Bank (AfDB), Dr. Akinwumi Adesina, has issued a strong call for Africa to abandon its overreliance on raw material exports, warning that continued dependence will only perpetuate poverty and underdevelopment across the continent. In a statement shared via his official Facebook page on Thursday, Dr. Adesina emphasized the urgent need for Africa to transition from an exporter of unprocessed commodities to a hub of manufacturing and value-added production. “Africa must stop exporting raw materials. Exporting raw materials is the gateway to poverty. Exporting value-added products is the highway to wealth,” he wrote, underscoring the strategic importance of industrialization in achieving sustainable economic growth. According to data from the Office of the United States Trade Representative and other global institutions, Africa contributes less than two percent to global manufacturing output—an alarming figure considering th...

Lawmakers Approve 1.9 Trillion Br Budget for 2025/26 Fiscal Year

KEYIR NEWS:- Members of the Parliament have unanimously endorsed a 1.9 trillion Br federal budget for the 2025/26 fiscal year, marking a significant increase from the previous year. The budget bill, tabled by the Ministry of Finance last month, expects to mobilize 1.2 trillion Br in domestic revenue, with over 90pc projected to come from tax collections.

During the budget hearing, lawmakers voiced support for the administration’s fiscal framework, citing the need to sustain macroeconomic stability and fund critical development programs. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed (PhD) expressed confidence in the government’s ability to fully finance the proposed budget, attributing it to a rebound in economic productivity, ongoing technical support from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and expected multilateral...

BRICS Eyes Reform as Xi & Putin Skip Rio Talks

KEYIR NEWS - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil :– The 17th BRICS Summit opened on 6 July in Rio de Janeiro, marking a critical juncture for the expanded bloc as it attempts to position itself as a viable counterweight to Western-dominated global institutions. With China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin notably absent, the summit underscores both the promise and the friction within the increasingly diverse alliance. Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed, attending the summit for the first time as a full BRICS member, held bilateral discussions centred on climate resilience, trade integration, and financial access. His presence symbolises Ethiopia’s intent to amplify the voice of low-income economies within the bloc’s evolving multilateral agenda.

Since Ethiopia’s admission to the bloc in 2024, reiterated his governmen...

BRICS Reasserts Multilateralism as Summit Confronts Tariffs, Middle East Turmoil

KEYIR NEWS - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: – The 17th BRICS Summit concluded on 7 July with a resolute declaration rejecting global protectionism and advocating for reform of international financial institutions, as the expanded bloc positions itself as a voice for the Global South amid escalating geopolitical volatility. Chaired by Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the summit brought together leaders and representatives of the now 11-member alliance, including Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, and Indonesia, with discussions dominated by rising trade tensions and Middle East instability. The final communiqué condemned the global surge in “indiscriminate tariffs,” asserting that such measures undermine fair trade and violate the foundational principles of the World Trade Organisation.
