Breaking: #Ethiopian investment board lifts restrictions on logistics industry reserved exclusively for Ethiopians, opens sector for joint venture addisstandard.com/breaking-ethio… decision will allow JV participation of international logistics service providers holding up to 49% or less
Art.3.1(b) of Ethiopia's Investment Regulation states that “packaging, forwarding & shipping agency services” are “exclusively reserved for Ethiopians.” Today's decision reversed that regulation & opened sector for international logistics service providers as minority share
"Today’s decision tops any of the policy shifts introduced recently since PM #AbiyAhmed came to office. A 27 year old closed sector-logistics is now open for JV arrangements. A great move towards improving competitiveness of Ethiopia in manufacturing for export.” @BelachewM

#Ethiopia: "Identity politics is, I submit, a secular variation to the religious notion of worshiping the wrong idols. It usually emerges from the place of arrogance, deceit and resentment and is fundamentally driven by a toxic sense of victimhood." Kebadu Mekonnen, (PhD)
#Ethiopia: "For a republic worthy of its name to emerge and a genuine civic solidarity to take root in Ethiopia, I believe that we need a constitutional amendment prohibiting the founding of political parties on the basis of ethnicity or religion," Kebadu Mekonnen, (PhD)

#BREAKING Trump Wanted to Order Justice Dept to Prosecute Comey and Clinton. WH Counsel McGahn rebuffed him, saying he had no authority to order DOJ prosecutions and that it would be an abuse of power that would lead to his impeachment via @NYTimes nyti.ms/2zk2G3V?smid=n…
Despite being told it’s an abuse of power, Trump continued to discuss using DOJ to go after— criminally prosecute—both Clinton & Comey. In fact, he’s repeatedly expressed disappointment in FBI Director Wray for failing to more aggressively investigate Clinton, calling him weak
Authoritarian Trump is frustrated with FBI Director Wray for failing to investigate “Uranium One”—a debunked right-wing conspiracy theory about Clinton & the Obama admin’s decision to allow the Russian nuclear agency to buy a uranium mining company.
