Abiy's government and the regional one run by the Tigray People's Liberation Front each consider the other illegitimate.
\t There was no immediate word from the three AU envoys, former Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, former Mozambique President Joaquim Chissano and former South African President Kgalema Motlanthe. AU spokeswoman Ebba Kalondo did not say whether they can meet with TPLF leaders, something Abiy's office has rejected.
\"``Not possible,'' senior Ethiopian official Redwan Hussein said in a message to the AP. ``\"Above all, TPLF leadership is still at large.'' He called reports that the TPLF had appointed an envoy to discuss an immediate cease-fire with the international community ``masquerading.''
\t Fighting reportedly remained well outside the Tigray capital of Mekele, a densely populated city of a half-million people who have been warned by the Ethiopian government that they will be shown ``no mercy'' if they don't distance themselves from the region's leaders.
\t Tigray has been almost entirely cut off from the outside world since Nov. 4, when Abiy announced a military offensive in response to a TPLF attack on a federal army base.
That makes it difficult to verify claims about the fighting, but humanitarians have said at least hundreds of people have been killed.
\t The fighting threatens to destabilize Ethiopia, which has been described as the linchpin of the strategic Horn of Africa.
\t With transport links cut, food and other supplies are running out in Tigray, home to 6 million people, and the United Nations has asked for immediate and unimpeded access for aid.

THERE was an innocuous graphic in a history textbook used for the junior certificate then. It propagated a certain narrative about the Russian revolution of 1917. The graphic has become a reality to Zimbabwe today. To the uninitiated, junior certificate (JC) was the national public examination that was sat for by all secondary school pupils at Form 2 level before they could start “O” Level studies. In many respects, the results of the JC examinations were used to screen pupils on what courses or subjects they could study for their “O” Level. JC was a vaunted certificate. A pass with distinctions paved the way for an academic career, while failure relegated one to technical studies — then agriculture, woodwork or metalwork in general. Not that there is anything bad about being technically gifted as opposed to being academically oriented and potentially getting a white-collar job. The cartoon was of societal hierarchy post the 1917 communist revolution in Russia. There were three main classes or broad categories in that society — the people (plebians), soldiers (security agents) and politicians. At the base were the plebians who shouted to anyone who cared to listen that they fed all. At the next level were soldiers who said they shoot all and finally, the politicians who ironically posited they ate for all. This lesson then was very unrealistic to the Zimbabwean situation that it matters little to study it, but it was a subtle dig at communism as if there are no classes or parasitic groups in neoliberal or capitalistic societies. Zimbabwe, in the first decade of independence (1980-1990), had a fairly functional economy though structural defects were starting to show up when expenditure was becoming bigger than revenue each year. The expanded expenditure was related to social provisions — taking education and primary healthcare to most of the citizens, who hitherto independence, were not catered for by the minority racial Rhodesian regime. Civil servants’ salaries then were nearly uniform and had purchasing power. For those in the security sector, they had adequate provisions of food rations, fatigues and boots. The morale was high in the cantonments and teachers wore their profession with pride then. However, the situation has dramatically changed in the two years post the November 2017 military coup. The boys in uniform have a new status — they are more equal to other civil servants because of their collective contribution in the making of the new regime. Treasury initially announced that it was funding for the re-establishment of garrison shops to cater for the boys in uniform’s needs in their cantonments. The shops were to sell subsidised basic food commodities to soldiers and police — a special treatment that was not extended to all other struggling civil servants. Finance minister Mthuli Ncube last month announced a 50% cushioning allowance for all civil servants and a US$75 special COVID-19 allowance for only three months. The statement was innocent and seemed to have treated all civil servants equally. However,
BY TAWANDA TAFIRENYIKA ZIFA believe that their general-secretary Joseph Mamutse should be allowed to resume work by operation of law after he filed a notice of appeal against his suspension. Mamutse was suspended by the Sports and Recreation Commission (SRC) board to institute investigations into alleged irregularities in the clearance of national football teams to tournaments in South Africa. The country’s sports regulatory body also suspended its director-general Prince Mupazviriho over similar allegations. However, Zifa has demanded Mamutse’s reinstatement, arguing that his ban was unlawful and unprocedural. Mamutse has since filed a notice of appeal and it is Zifa’s contention that by operation of law, he should be back at work. The country’s soccer controlling body has written to SRC to confirm the position so that he can be allowed to return to work. Zifa lawyer Chenaimoyo Gumiro, however, said SRC has not responded to their request. “He (Mamutse) filed a notice of appeal to SRC and by operation of law, that sets aside his suspension. We have, therefore, written to SRC to confirm this position so that he can be allowed to resume duties, but we have not received response. So we will have to follow it up again,” he said. The football federation views SRC’s actions as a violation of Fifa statutes which require member associations to run their affairs independently without undue influence from third parties. They have since approached the Administrative Court. A Fifa suspension would mean national teams and local clubs would be banned from playing in international competitions, and funding would cease until reinstatement was granted. However, SRC insist they are empowered by the constitution to act as they did — suspending the football administrator and that their decision was in the interests of the national game. lFollow Tawanda on Twitter @tawatafi
[Addis Standard] Addis Abeba -- Inflation has become emblematic of the Ethiopian economy. Prices have gone awry the last three years that the popular perception is \"there seems to be no one stopping them from increasing\". The last parliamentary speech of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and the time it took him to explain the scourge is a showcase to the magnitude of the problem. Often challenged in explaining economic issues, the premier was seen having difficulty to put a wholesome picture of what is happening.
