Drone attack! Fighting in northern Ethiopia kills 60 people
According to Ethiopian media reports, the Ethiopian government carried out drone strikes in the Ethiopian Amhara region, the latest air strikes came from the area of Gondar region, and killed more than 60 civilians.
It is reported that at least 50 civilians were killed and injured after the Ethiopian Defense Forces launched an attack in the Belesa area in the central part of Gondor. In addition, there was an attack near Abreha Abraha Jira, which killed 10 civilians. However, at present, the Ethiopian authorities have not commented on the incident.
However, this is not the first time that drone attacks have occurred. Recently, there have been continuous drone attacks in Amhara, resulting in many injuries and deaths. It is reported that as early as August last year, the Ethiopian government assembled troops to start a military operation in the Amhara region that lasted for several weeks, but failed to achieve its goal. With the failure of infantry operations, the Ethiopian National Defense Forces have increasingly used drone attacks and even deployed combat helicopters to launch multiple attacks. Due to the wide range, the extent of casualties is not yet clear.
Fano, the main rebel force in the region, said drone strikes in the region could not reverse the failure of the Ethiopian National Defense Force, which led many people in the region to join the Fano force and get a lot of grass-roots support. and Fano troops are more armed than they were a year ago, and drone strikes are designed to intimidate people who support Fano.
Millions of students in Amhara State have been suspended as a result of the ongoing conflict, some medical facilities have been seriously affected and roads have been blocked, resulting in serious economic losses and civilian casualties in the area. And Amhara is Ethiopia's main agricultural and animal husbandry location, is mainly the domestic food supply, while the current serious internal conflicts and the closure of roads in some areas by Farno forces will affect the transport of goods between regions and exacerbate the rise in prices in the country.
Although, recently, the war has mainly occurred in areas such as Amhara, from time to time some conflicts have spread to the central or western Oromia region, which has had a negative impact on the society and economy of the region and the whole country. once conflicts and violence spill over and civil war breaks out, foreign direct investment inflows decrease significantly.
For the Ethiopian coffee industry, although the war is mainly in the Amhara region in the north of the country and has not spread to the coffee-producing areas in the south, it still faces many difficulties, the biggest problem being exports. Earlier, the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) introduced a new policy to limit the difference between the buying and selling prices of foreign exchange transactions to 2 per cent. The new policy helps exporters to protect the rights and interests of traders by preventing banks from making unreasonable profits through excessive price spreads.
The previous increase in Ethiopian coffee exports was mainly due to increased efforts and funds from EU coffee traders to ensure adequate stocks of coffee beans after the implementation of the EUDR no-deforestation regulations. However, due to the recent announcement by the EU that it would postpone the implementation of EUDR for a year, EU coffee traders began to slow down their procurement efforts after the announcement. In addition, as procurement slows and international coffee prices begin to fall, Ethiopian coffee revenue will begin to fall.
However, there is also good news. Recently, Prime Minister Ethiopia said that Ethiopia's doubling of annual coffee production from 500000 tons to more than 1 million tons in the past five years was an impressive achievement, pointing out the importance of working with stakeholders, including farmers, cooperatives and regional communities, aimed at raising awareness of coffee cultivation and implementing best practices, and stressed the government's commitment to improving coffee quality and production. Efforts will be made to improve quality and market access. However, many manufacturers believe that it is most important to solve the problem of regional security at present.
