Opinion:The new era of transformation in #Ethiopia & the Elephant in the room addisstandard.com/opinion-the-ne… With PM #AbiyAhmed,the age of freedom has begun in earnest,but no decent analysis of Ethiopian politics is complete without the talk of the Elephant in the room-Identity politics
#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: #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

1. A bunch of people have asked me if I’ve taken a look at the Data & Society report, “Alternative Influence: Broadcasting the Reactionary Right on YouTube”.
datasociety.net/output/alterna…
2. People familiar with the work of some of the YouTubers included in the infographic are calling foul, as are some of the “influencers" who have been included.
3. I saw the infographic floating around last night and at a quick glance thought it was so bad that I didn’t bother to look at the report, but I did see a tweet from someone replying to Tim Pool that he had been on a show Tim was claiming he hadn’t been on.

PM Abiy smiles when asked how the liberalization of the Airlines and Electric Corporation would provide better services to the #Ethiopia|n public. He says, “we are in debt, we have to pay back but we can’t. And secondarily, we aren’t able to finish projects we have started."
#Ethiopia: Live "The target is to create a market-led capitalist system. The private sector is crucial to help us develop this capitalist system. This is because the private sector is better at being profitable than the government.”
PM Abiy
On the airlines:“African leaders want one airlines for the whole continent. This was one of the points of the economic integration. Following this, EAL has bought Malawi’s half airlines, and also Zambia’s AL, and also of Chad’s and Guinea, Togo. We will be buying more shares."

#ICYMI: Iranian forces fired 20 rockets at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights last night. In response, Israeli military set out on an extensive retaliatory attack against Iranian targets, the largest Israeli attack in Syria since 1974
No casualties reported on the Israeli side. Several targets connected to the #IRGC & Hezbollah attacked by Israel. Syrian media claims dozens of Israeli missiles were intercepted. There are reports of casualties in Syria.
More bomb shelters opened in northern Israel
The rocket barrage from Syria was directed at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights, like the intelligence assessment that the Iranian response will be limited so it won't lead to war. It is the 1st time Israel blames Iran directly for an attack on its territory

So that $350 dinner visit which CIG announced back in Jan for Star Citizen backer whales was last night.

@pcinvasion wrote about it in Jan.

I know guys who went. Will report back when I get details.

Whale soup was on the menu.

Meanwhile, while that was going on, CIG announced a new JPEG concept ship sale that has the tribe up in arms.

Normally, we'd just do what we do: point and lol. But this time, we can't even point because we're all collectively rolling on floor laughing.

I DID warn them.
For YEARS many backers have basically gamed the very system that CIG used to scam them out of money, under the guise of, you know, making a game.

One of those things is called Lifetime Insurance (or LTI). With no game, nobody knows IF/HOW it would work.
