One person has been killed and another injured in drone strikes in Ethiopia's northern Tigray region, a senior Tigrayan official and a humanitarian worker said, in another sign of renewed conflict between regional and federal forces. The Tigrayan official on Saturday said the drone strikes hit two Isuzu trucks near Enticho and Gendebta, two places in Tigray about 20km (12 miles) apart.

A decade of farm-level data from Ethiopia's Gedeo Zone suggests coffee quality and yield are not dictated by a single factor such as altitude. Instead, the strongest quality signals may be traced back to multiple related factors affecting soil health, with results varying by micro-region. The study reinforces commonly held best practices in sustainable agricultural land management - such as the inclusion of shade - while rejecting the idea of a one-size-fits-all playbook for different growing areas.

Four months on, Deghareg is pleased with his purchase since he no longer has to endure long lines at the petrol pump, caused by Ethiopia's chronic fuel shortages. I'd have to wait two to three hours, even if I got there in the early morning, and they often run out of petrol before it's your turn, he says. Having an EV saves me lots of time. I have no regrets.

CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati's design for a new cultural center in Addis Ababa aims to support the local community and preserve Ethiopian cultural traditions. The project includes a four-story civic space with an open stage, designed in collaboration with local communities.

The hemorrhaging of human life in Sudan or Ethiopia hardly makes the news. Sudan alone is beyond comprehension, with a civil war that has left 150,000 dead and 2 million people facing famine.

At least 92 people drowned when a vessel they were using to cross the Bab al-Mandab Strait sank. Most of the deceased and missing are Ethiopians.

This study reveals that the mantle beneath Africa is active, pulsing, and responsible for the eventual splitting of the continent into pieces.
