UPDATE: As war rages on in Ethiopia, NetBlocks confirms that what it calls a "subnational internet disruption," has been implemented in the country's north. Scores of Tigrayans are suddenly unable to communicate with family. Phone/internet is disrupted across the Tigray region. Service from the Ethiopian state telecoms provider is completely severed, but service by Kenyan company Safaricom remains active for now, meaning some Tigrayans can still connect and make phone calls. A very bad sign.

LA NOTIZIA: Precipita la situazione in Etiopia: i ribelli del Tigray dichiarano “guerra aperta” contro il governo legittimo del Paese Con il mondo concentrato sulla crisi mediorientale e su quella ucraina, sta ricevendo meno attenzione quanto sta accadendo in Etiopia, dove la situazione sembra rapidamente precipitare. I ribelli del Tigray hanno rilasciato pesanti dichiarazioni all’AFP, sostenendo che la regione si trovi ormai in uno stato di “guerra aperta” con il governo federale. Nel comunicato si fa riferimento anche a pesanti attacchi di artiglieria che rischiano di destabilizzare ulteriormente l’intera area. Soltanto ieri, il Fronte di liberazione del popolo del Tigray (TPLF), che domina la regione, aveva lanciato un’offensiva prendendo il controllo di tre aeroporti fino a quel momento sotto il controllo della polizia federale. Successivamente, gli stessi ribelli hanno lanciato attacchi nelle regioni limitrofe di Afar e Amhara, dando di fatto il via a una nuova escalation. Come riporta l’AFP, una fonte umanitaria nella regione di Afar ha riferito che anche oggi si sono verificati pesanti attacchi di artiglieria da parte dei ribelli, impegnati nel tentativo di prendere il controllo della città di Yallo, vicino al confine con il Tigray. “Ci troviamo ormai in una situazione di guerra su vasta scala”, ha dichiarato all’AFP Amanuel Assefa, vicepresidente del TPLF, confermando che gli scontri sono in corso nelle regioni di Afar e Amhara, con le forze del Tigray impegnate al fianco di gruppi armati locali. Secondo alcuni analisti, i ribelli del Tigray godrebbero del sostegno dell’Eritrea, che teme che l’Etiopia, Paese senza sbocco sul mare, stia pianificando un’invasione del suo territorio per ottenere l’accesso al Mar Rosso. Un’ipotesi, questa, che è stata tuttavia smentita dai combattenti del Tigray.   L'articolo Precipita la situazione in Etiopia: i ribelli del Tigray dichiarano “guerra aperta” contro il governo legittimo del Paese sembra essere il primo su LA NOTIZIA. The situation deteriorates in Ethiopia: the Tigray rebels declare an "open war" against the country’s legitimate government. With the world focused on the Middle East crisis and the one in Ukraine, little attention is being paid to what is happening in Ethiopia, where the situation appears to be rapidly deteriorating. The Tigray rebels have issued heavy statements to AFP, claiming that the region is now in a state of “open war” with the federal government. The statement also refers to heavy artillery attacks that risk further destabilizing the entire area. Just yesterday, the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which dominates the region, launched an offensive taking control of three airports previously under the control of federal police. Subsequently, the same rebels launched attacks in neighboring regions of Afar and Amhara, effectively triggering a new escalation. As reported by AFP, a humanitarian source in the Afar region has stated that heavy artillery attacks by the rebels continued today, as they were engaged in an attempt to take control of the city of Yallo, near the border with Tigray. “We are now in a situation of large-scale war,” Amanuel Assefa, vice president of the TPLF, told AFP, confirming that clashes were ongoing in the Afar and Amhara regions, with Tigray forces fighting alongside local armed groups. According to some analysts, the Tigray rebels would benefit from the support of Eritrea, which fears that Ethiopia, a country without access to the sea, is planning an invasion of its territory to gain access to the Red Sea. This hypothesis has however been denied by the Tigray fighters. The article "Ethiopia Situation Plunges: Tigray Rebels Declare ‘Open War’ on Country's Legitimate Government" appears first on LA NOTIZIA. #Ethiopia #Tigray #theMiddleEast #Ukraine #Amhara #Yallo #AmanuelAssefa #Eritrea #theRedSea #first #LANOTIZIAhttps://www.lanotiziagiornale.it/precipita-la-situazione-in-etiopia-i-ribelli-del-tigray-dichiarano-guerra-aperta-contro-il-governo-legittimo-del-paese/

#Ethiopia's Grand Renaissance Dam recently operated at a 17% surplus beyond its capacity, generating over half the nation's electricity and boosting regional exports, the GERD International Cooperation Coalition said in statement. Revenue from these sales must be reinvested in domestic grid infrastructure and job-creating industries rather than crypto mining, the coalition noted.

By Ephrem Solomon, born in 1983 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: “Earth Series: 20,” woodcut and mixed media, 85 x 97 cm (33.5 x 38.25 inches), Kristin Hjellegjerde Gallery. #art #africa #africanart #ethiopia #ethiopianart #printmaking From Artsy: ‘Ephrem Solomon draws on woodcutting’s history as a medium tied to 20th-century politics. His works feature figures or objects—often domestic ones such as empty chairs—rendered in solid fields of color and employed as allegories for contemporary life in Ethiopia. Solomon tends to depict these subjects in isolation to suggest the feeling of alienation. Although the images have a timeless quality, he collages scraps of newspaper to the prints to inject them with markers of contemporary life. “My works portrays the distance between what the governed people need and want and what the response is from the governors,” the artist has said. “I have tried to picture, as precisely as possible, the actual and innocent feeling of the governed.”’ You can find more of the artist’s work on the gallery website: https://kristinhjellegjerde.com/artists/103-ephrem-solomon/works/

Il Fatto Quotidiano: Ecco il Masripithecus – scoperto in Egitto un fossile di 18 milioni di anni che riscrive la storia dell’evoluzione Un fossile scoperto nel Sinai potrebbe riscrivere la storia dell’evoluzione dei primati e degli uomini. Si tratta di un reperto risalente a 18 milioni di anni fa, appartenente a una nuova specie denominata Masripithecus, che secondo i ricercatori potrebbe indicare l’Egitto come la culla degli antenati comuni di scimmie e umani. La scoperta, guidata da Shorouq Al-Ashqar dell’Università di Mansoura, è stata pubblicata sulla rivista Science e apre scenari inediti sulle origini degli ominoidi. Fino a oggi, gli studiosi ritenevano che i primi ominoidi avessero avuto origine nell’Africa orientale, tra Etiopia e Kenya. I nuovi fossili suggeriscono invece che la nascita di questi primati potrebbe essere avvenuta molto più a nord, nell’attuale Egitto, e invitano a riconsiderare luoghi e tempi della nostra evoluzione. “I nuovi ritrovamenti confermano che i paleontologi potrebbero aver cercato gli antenati degli ominoidi moderni nel posto sbagliato”, sottolineano David Alba e Júlia Arias-Martorell dell’Università di Barcellona in un commento sulla stessa rivista. Masripithecus rappresenta una tessera fondamentale per ricostruire il puzzle evolutivo dei nostri antenati e delle scimmie che, milioni di anni dopo, avrebbero dato origine a grandi primati come scimpanzé e oranghi, fino agli uomini. Gli autori dello studio evidenziano inoltre che gran parte delle ipotesi precedenti sono state influenzate dalle lacune nei ritrovamenti fossili, concentrati finora solo in alcune regioni, mentre molte altre aree del Nord Africa restano ancora inesplorate. Nuove ricerche in queste zone potrebbero dunque rivoluzionare ulteriormente la comprensione delle origini dei primati. FOTO DI ARCHIVIO L'articolo Ecco il Masripithecus – scoperto in Egitto un fossile di 18 milioni di anni che riscrive la storia dell’evoluzione proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano. Here is the Masripithecus – a fossil discovered in Egypt dating back 18 million years that is rewriting the history of evolution. A fossil discovered in the Sinai could rewrite the history of primate and human evolution. It is a find dating back 18 million years, belonging to a new species called Masripithecus, which researchers believe may indicate Egypt as the cradle of the common ancestors of monkeys and humans. The discovery, led by Shorouq Al-Ashqar of Mansoura University, was published in the journal Science and opens new horizons on the origins of hominoids. Until now, scholars believed that the first hominoids originated in Eastern Africa, between Ethiopia and Kenya. The new fossils suggest instead that the birth of these primates could have occurred much further north, in present-day Egypt, and invite us to reconsider the places and times of our evolution. “The new findings confirm that paleontologists may have been looking for the ancestors of modern hominoids in the wrong place,” say David Alba and Júlia Arias-Martorell of the University of Barcelona in a comment on the same journal. Masripithecus represents a fundamental piece for reconstructing the evolutionary puzzle of our ancestors and monkeys that, millions of years later, would have given rise to great primates such as chimpanzees and orangutans, up to humans. The authors of the study also highlight that much of the previous hypotheses has been influenced by the gaps in fossil finds, concentrated so far only in some regions, while many other areas of North Africa remain unexplored. New research in these areas could therefore further revolutionize our understanding of the origins of primates. #Egypt #Masripithecus #ShorouqAl-Ashqar #MansouraUniversity #Science #first #EasternAfrica #Ethiopia #Kenya #DavidAlba #NorthAfricahttps://www.ilfattoquotidiano.it/2026/03/26/masripithecus-fossile-egitto-evoluzione-primati-news/8337553/
