For many years, Africa has been a part player in climate conversations on the global stage despite the increasingly adverse effects of climate change on its natural ecosystems. Going forward, this needs to change. As the continent initiates deliberate measures to cement its status as a leader in transformative climate action, its young population will be a key part of the equation. Today, people aged 35 or younger are more than 75% of the total population in Sub-Saharan Africa. Moreover, the Population Reference Bureau (PRB) estimates that young Africans are expected to account for 42% of the total world youth…

Opinion By Aklog Birara (Dr) In the aftermath of potential fracturing of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church (EOTC) that mobilized and unified tens of millions of Ethiopians across the globe as never before and the seemingly positive but aborted outcome that ensued, I began reflecting on what I learned from this latest episode. First, I concluded that Ethiopia’s ethnic federalism is incurable. Regardless of ethnicity and faith, income status or other, Ethiopians must chart a new post ethnicity, just, inclusive, citizenship based and democratic future. On the positive side, the overarching lesson I draw from this latest incident and gyration…

The Ethiopian Orthodox Church is under attack as usual but there is a silver lining By Tezera Tazebew Ethiopia, the second most populous nation in Africa, is facing a new and potentially more serious challenge. This comes after a peace agreement was signed, putting an end to the senseless civil war between the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) forces in the Tigray region and the federal government and its allies. The conflict, which was fuelled by growing ethnic animosity and power struggles, resulted in the deaths of thousands of civilians and the destruction of property, accompanied by the perpetration of…
