SUBJECT: ETHIOPIA: BI-WEEKLY REPORT AUGUST 07 2006 
 
 
 The following reports compiled over the last two weeks 
illustrate the variety of economic, political and social 
developments occurring in Ethiopia. 
 
Charge' Hosted a Meeting of Women Entrepreneurs Group 
--------------------------------------------- -------- 
 
1. On July 21, Ambassador Huddleston hosted a meeting of the 
Women Entrepreneurs Group, a newly formed group of leading 
local women entrepreneurs, government officials, members of 
parliament, and representatives from civil society, 
international organizations, and diplomatic missions.  The 
group, which has met twice under the US Embassy's auspices, 
is aimed at addressing constraints currently faced by women 
entrepreneurs in Ethiopia, serving as a networking forum, 
and empowering Ethiopian women and girls through community 
outreach.  At the July 21 meeting, the group agreed to form 
two sub-committees, which will focus on community outreach 
and economic empowerment.  Each group will be chaired by an 
Ethiopian participant and develop activities.  Initial 
suggested activities include identifying policy gaps that 
constrain women entrepreneurs, and the 
documentation/dissemination of stories of successful women 
entrepreneurs as a tool for motivating young girls. 
 
2. The Women Entrepreneurs Group builds on on-going efforts 
by post to assist women entrepreneurs overcome challenges 
such as a lack of capacity and access to credit.  These 
efforts include export support services to individual women- 
owned companies, an internet training program, a loan- 
guarantee program targeted for small and medium-sized 
businesses, and support to the Addis Ababa Women 
Entrepreneurs Association.  In addition, post has actively 
supported women exporters take greater advantage of AGOA. 
For example, several women-owned companies have recently 
begun to export under AGOA's Category 9 provision, with 
assistance from USAID. Women entrepreneurs are also playing 
a lead role in Ethiopia's booming cut-flower export sector. 
 
Demolition of Illegally Built Mosque Triggers Demonstration 
--------------------------------------------- -------------- 
 
3. On July 24, Addis Ababa City Administration demolished an 
illegally built mosque in the Arat Kilo neighborhood in 
Addis Ababa.  Hundreds of angry Muslims from the 
neighborhood took out to the street chanting "demolition of 
a mosque is an attack on the religion" and demanded that the 
demolition must stop.  Addis Ababa Administration says that 
the property is owned by a private citizen and is registered 
as a residence.  Officials of the administration argue that 
special permits are required to construct religious 
institutions and residents of Arat Kilo do not have permits. 
The demonstrators threw rocks at the Federal Police deployed 
to control the crowd.  Undisclosed numbers of rock throwers 
are under police custody pending investigation.  The 
Ethiopian Islamic Affairs Supreme Council is concerned with 
the development and is working with officials of Addis Ababa 
Administration to resolve the issue.  The Constitution of 
the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia allows citizens 
to practice their faith and the government generally 
respects this. In this case, the mosque was in a private 
home and action was taken when the owner began construction 
to turn the house into a mosque. 
 
 
More Federal Judges to be Appointed 
----------------------------------- 
 
4. The Judicial Administrative Council will propose the 
appointment of 30 federal judges for the new Ethiopian year 
starting September 11.  The appointment of judges is an 
ongoing court administration reform project geared towards 
increasing manpower.  Federal First Instance Court 
President, Desalegne Berhe says that currently there are 109 
federal judges serving in Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa. 
However, a number of judges leave their profession for 
different reasons and there is a pressing need for the 
appointment of new judges.  Desalegne said the Council's 
plan to appoint 20 judges last year did not materialize. 
However, the Council will press for the appointment of 30 
more judges.  The Federal First Instance Courts were able to 
reduce backlog files by more than 10,000 as a result of a 
campaign carried out this summer.  In the past two years 
several reform packages had been carried out and now are 
providing more efficient services to the public. 
 
Consular Visa Sanction Update 
----------------------------- 
 
5. The consular section delivered to the Ministry of Foreign 
Affairs, on behalf of DHS, the latest list of potential 
 
 
returnees ordered removed from the United States to 
Ethiopia.  This list contains 8 new cases and 8 resubmitted 
cases with additional information.  Post continues to urge 
the Ethiopian government to accept back its citizens in 
order to avoid the imposition of visa sanctions. 
 
 
New USAID Director Meets Senior Officials, Visits South 
--------------------------------------------- -------------- 
 
6. Recently arrived USAID Director, Glenn Anders, had 
introductory meetings with Ministers of Health, Education, 
Agriculture and Trade as well as with Deputy Prime Minister 
Addisu Legesse and Prime Minister Meles (see SEPTEL about 
latter).  Minister of Health Tedros emphasized the 
importance of USAID in health reforms: programs in 
management and leadership training, community health 
systems, reproductive health and HIV-AIDS control.  Minister 
of Education stressed improving the quality of primary 
education through teacher training, strengthening schools' 
management, and basic courses in math, English and civics, 
and thanked USAID for assistance through its BESO program. 
DPM Addisu Legesse emphasized the development of a commodity 
exchange and rural enterprise to transition safety net 
recipients and avoid dependency.  He expressed concern over 
high grain prices due apparently to crop diversification. 
 
7. Director Anders also made a several day field trip to 
Oromia and southern regions to meet regional officials and 
to review USAID programs in health, education, and food 
aid/safety net.  The impacts of the substantial USAID 
programs involved in southern states were evident in health 
systems and teacher training.  Regional officials emphasized 
importance of U.S. assistance programs in teachers training 
at Awassa College and in building a code of health extension 
workers and community health volunteers appeared effective. 
PEPFAR programs, outreach/prevention, and testing/treatment 
in the so-called "high-risk corridor," between Addis and 
Djibouti appeared to be making process.
