I warmly welcome the successful conclusion of bilateral negotiations between Canada and Ethiopia on market access for goods and services in support of Ethiopia’s accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO). As Canada’s Ambassador to Ethiopia, I am encouraged by this significant step toward Ethiopia’s deeper integration into the global economy. Following the celebration of 60 years of bilateral relationship, I look forward to strengthening trade ties and unlocking significant new opportunities for businesses, innovators, and investors in our two countries. #Canada #Ethiopia #WTO #TradeDiversification #EconomicCooperation @CanadaGeneva @CanadaEthiopia @MFAEthiopia @TewodrosGirm

🚨 ENDF and Oromia Region Gada Commando kill over 200 Amhara civilians within 24 hours in Gida Ayana Woreda, leaving over 100 missing and 30,000 displaced On October 21st, local sources reported that more than 200 Amhara civilians had been killed and over 100 others remained missing following attacks by ENDF and Gada Commando forces over the previous 24 hours in Ali Kebele, Gida Ayana Woreda, East Wollega Zone, Oromia Region. More than 30,000 internally displaced people (IDPs), who had previously fled attacks in Ando Dedicho, Meleketa, Mender Three and Waja, were forced to abandon their belongings and flee for a second time into surrounding forests after renewed violence reached Ali Kebele, where they had sought refuge. Video footage shared from the area shows displaced civilians crossing the Anger River while fleeing the attacks.

We warned you, Fano, OLA, TPLF! You can fool some of the international community some of the time, but you can't fool all of the international community all of the time. Translation of "mass closing down of social-media accounts in the Amhara digital community " = the world is finally waking up to the difference between championing human rights and inciting hate and violence at the service of the terrorist Fano militia. Even Robel Alemu, with his angel face and polished American accent, should not count on continued respectability in his country of residence.

News: #Ethiopia among fastest-growing global tourism destinations with 15% surge in arrivals, says #UN Tourism Ethiopia recorded a 15% increase in international tourist arrivals in 2025, emerging as one of the fastest-growing tourism destinations globally, according to a report by the BBC citing the latest global tourism data and the UN Tourism World Tourism Barometer. The BBC attributed Ethiopia’s tourism rebound partly to improved stability following years of reduced travel linked to the conflict in the #Tigray region. The resumption of flights to northern destinations beginning in 2023 and renewed travel interest in 2024 helped lay the groundwork for recovery. Ethiopia’s growth contributed to #Africa’s overall 8% increase in international arrivals, making the continent the fastest-growing region globally, according to the Barometer. The report also noted that authorities and industry stakeholders have taken steps to rebuild traveler confidence, including investments in hospitality infrastructure, service upgrades, and the launch of the Visit Ethiopia digital platform in 2025 to promote the country as a global tourism destination. The BBC report said countries like Ethiopia are increasingly benefiting from shifting travel trends, as global tourists seek destinations with distinctive cultural identity and less overcrowding compared to traditional tourism hubs.
