worst post EVER! :)

from bbc

The ceasefire “will enable farmers to till their land, aid groups to operate without any military movement around and engage with remnants (of Tigray’s former ruling party) who seek peace”, Ethiopia’s statement said, adding that efforts to bring Tigray’s former leaders to justice continued.

Ethiopia said the ceasefire would last until the end of the crucial planting season in Tigray. The season ends in September. The government ordered all federal and regional authorities to respect the ceasefire.

The UN secretary-general, Antonio Guterres, said in a statement that he had spoken with Abiy, adding: “I am hopeful that an effective cessation of hostilities will take place.”

at 1.82p - ceasefire spooked a few but still low volume - expecting some big news in the next 2 weeks - like I have for the past x years :)

The left and the greens appear worried

The prospect of a government including the Sweden Democrats has taken a major step forward. On Thursday, Sabuni told the TT news agency that she would not enter talks to keep Löfven in power, a reversal of her party’s position in March pledging to continue backing the government until it had passed the 2022 budget. A day earlier, Centre Party leader Annie Lööf offered Löfven a compromise that included the implementation of further tax cuts. Even assuming Löfven can persuade the Centre and Left parties to back a new edition of his Social Democrat/Green coalition, the opposition of the Liberals would prevent him from achieving a parliamentary majority.

The Moderates’ Kristersson is openly pushing for a change of government without an election, based on an agreement among the Alliance members to join a government backed by the Sweden Democrats. He demanded in an interview with Sveriges Radio that the Centre Party should choose sides and back a “bourgeois government,” an alternative description for the Alliance.

lol - no, I just read the Guardian..... :)

anything but the previous govt will be good for us

The political situation in Sweden appears deadlocked. Löfven has been able to get the Left party back as an ally but the small Liberals, which earlier supported the Social Democratic-led government, now want a centre-right government. The Conservatives still want Löfven at the helm but do not want to make deals with the Sweden Democrats or the Left Party.

In the centre-right bloc, the Moderates, Sweden’s second-largest party, wants its leader, Ulf Kristersson, as prime minister.

n the present assembly, the left-leaning side and the centre-right bloc each have about 40% of the vote. None of the sides want to cooperate with the Sweden Democrats, a rightwing populist party that is considered extreme.

In Sweden, the next general election will be held on 11 September 2022.

various v positive posts on FB

Ministry of Mines and petroleum said it secures over $504 million from gold supply over the last 10 months.
Ministry of Mines and petroleum is deliberating on its 10 months activity progress report in Adama town.
In her opening remark, Simeny Wube state Minister of mines and petroleum said the ministry has scored tremendous achievement in its 10 months activity.
It had planned to provide 5921 kg of gold to National Bank and able to provide 6785 kg of gold with over 504 million USD was secured, she said. According to the state minster the ministry has created job opportunities for more than 93,000 people in the past 10 months.

The income Ethiopia is gaining from mining is showing a higher level. We have also received the highest income in our history. In just 11 months we have earned more than 668 million dollars. We have made plans to earn 1.5 billion dollars from race and we have reached agreement with regions. It is expected from us to fix the problems seen by ethnicity. We have understood that there will be a solution to the security issues happening in mining areas. I would like to thank the minister of peace Data Mrs. Frealem Shibabaw for the discussion we had with the regions.

The headline is a win for Abiy will be good for mining in Ethiopia - although the page itself seems not there at the moment - a bit like us

The result means a collapse of the Social Democrat's minority coalition government with the Green Party.
Now, in a second ironic twist, housing debates could well slide much further down the political agenda, with either a snap election or cross-party talks to form a new government more likely to focus on what Lofven's centre-right opponents view as more pressing issues, such as the country's economic recovery after the pandemic, rising violent crime and immigration.

a company with a detailed knowledge of Ethiopia according to Harry. Well, CEY tried to buy Tulu Kapi years ago - they would be a great investor
