"We are not declaring war on Somalia now, neither will we in the future. The people of Somalia are neighbors, they are brotherly people. We have no problems with Somaliland; we have no problems with Puntland. For that matter, we do not even have problems with the Union of Islamic Courts as such. Our problems are with the Jihadist leadership that have declared war against Ethiopia."

Lions miss out on Ethiopia's tourism growth
Addis Ababa – Despite Africa recording the World’s fastest tourist growth for the second year running according to the UNWTO, and Ethiopia showing good progress too, one of the East Africa country’s zoos has had to poison rare lions to make ends meet.
It is disheartening to read this news. To our recollection many of the regional states do not have a zoo. Some of the growing cities, like Mekele, Bahrdar and Awasa, would certainly benefit if they can open a zoo and save this lions.
