SUBJECT: ETHIOPIA:  BI-WEEKLY REPORT AUGUST 15 2006 
 
 
1. The following reports compiled over the last two weeks 
illustrate the variety of economic, political, and social 
developments occurring in Ethiopia. 
 
POLITICAL 
--------- 
 
TIP Officer Visits Addis 
 
2.  INL/G/TIP officer Rachel Yousey visited Ethiopia August 
9-15 to meet with the GOE, NGOs and officials from other 
organizations to discuss efforts in Ethiopia to combat 
trafficking-in-persons.  Rachel concluded that the GOE 
continues to perform well in some areas, such as rescuing 
trafficked children in Addis Ababa, while its efforts in 
other areas need to improve, such as activating the 
inter-ministerial commission on trafficking, and prosecuting 
traffickers more frequently. 
 
GOE Says 13 ONLF Members Killed; 45 OLF Members Apprehended 
 
3.  According to the GOE, 13 members of the Ogaden National 
Liberation Front (ONLF) were killed and several commanders 
were captured as they crossed into Ethiopia from Somalia. 
Similarly, a Kenyan official in the Moyale region disclosed 
that 45 "members and sympathizers" of the Oromo Liberation 
Front (OLF) had been apprehended in a joint Kenyan-Ethiopian 
operation on both sides of the border.  According to this 
official, searches will be ongoing for the next two months to 
apprehend and repatriate members of this group. 
 
Over 60 Businesses Previously Closed For Violating Government 
Orders Reopen 
 
4.  Over 60 businesses that were shut down for allegedly 
violating government rules passed in the wake of the October 
2005 riots were reopened by order of the Prime Minister. 
Mayor Birhanu Deresa said that businesses which shut down 
during the riot after the May election and had not opened 
despite orders from the government, were sealed by the 
government for past nine months.  Citing apologies from 
business owners and the economic activities in the city, 
Mayor Birhanu appealed to the Prime Minister to reopen the 
businesses.  Businesses were authorized to reopen August 11. 
 
 
ECONOMIC 
-------- 
 
Trade Minister Urges GOE To Submit Memorandum on the Foreign 
Trade Regime 
 
5.  Minister of Trade and Industry, Gira Birru, urged the 
highest executive body of the country, the Council of 
Ministers, to approve the proposed Memorandum on the Foreign 
Trade Regime so that it can be forwarded on to the World 
Trade Organization (WTO).  It has been two years since the 
ministry submitted the memorandum to the Council.  According 
to a senior Ethiopian official, the Council is ready to 
deliberate on the issue and hopes a decision will be made 
within the next two weeks. 
 
SNNPR Plans Multiple FM Stations 
 
6.  The Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples' Regional 
State Mass Media Organization, as part of its five year plan, 
announced its plans to start radio broadcasts by launching 
six FM stations.  According to regional officials, an 
announcement requesting communities to volunteer for pilot 
projects garnered one response and the Ethiopian Broadcast 
Authority subsequently issued a license.  SNNPR officials 
reported that another announcement was planned with the goal 
of issuing four to five licenses. 
 
DEVELOPMENT 
----------- 
 
Heavy Rains Continue to Cause Deaths and Displace Thousands 
 
7.  In the past two weeks, heavy rains have caused serious 
flooding in Dire Dawa and Southwest/west Shoa (Oromiya), Omo 
River (Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region), 
and Takeze River (Tigray) areas of Ethiopia.  According to 
the UN news agency, approximately 400 people have died as a 
result of the recent flooding.  An undetermined number of 
 
ADDIS ABAB 00002280  002 OF 002 
 
 
people are still missing, and thousands of people have been 
displaced. Although heavy rains are not uncommon during this 
time of year, rains in recent weeks have been above average. 
 
USAID Commits $57.6 Million to Healthcare, Basic Education 
and Economic Growth 
 
8.  USAID signed strategic Objective Agreements in the amount 
of $57.6 million with its main GOE counterpart, the Ministry 
of Finance and Economic Development.  Funds will be used to 
support mutually designed programs in the fields of 
healthcare, basic education, and economic growth.  State 
Minister Mekonnen Manyazewal and USAID Mission Director Glenn 
Anders signed the documents on behalf of the GOE and USG. 
 
Joint State/USAID/CJTF-HOA Fact Finding Mission 
 
9.  A team of representatives from State, USAID and DOD's 
CJTF-HOA traveled to the northern Somali region (near Dire 
Dawa) on a finding trip to harmonize local development 
projects.  Local government officials, elders, women's 
groups, and NGOs told the team that availability of water, 
health (human and animal), education, and communications 
infrastructure are their top priorities.  The team also 
called on the new mayor of Dire Dawa to express condolences 
over the loss of life (250) in the August 6 flash flood and 
to convey support for relief efforts. 
 
PEPFAR 
------ 
 
10.  During the week of August 7-11, a joint PEPFAR-Ethiopia 
and Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC) Core Team 
worked on the 2007 PEPFAR Country Operational Plan.  Key 
issues addressed included focusing interventions in 
populations at highest risk for HIV infection, strengthening 
the implementation of HIV/AIDS programs within the 
hospital-health center-community networks, mainstreaming 
HIV/AIDS services within the larger healthcare system, 
improving program quality and evaluations of programs and 
partners, finding innovative approaches to address human 
resource constraints, and creating a program that is 
sustainable. 
 
CONSULAR 
-------- 
 
Visa Sanctions 
 
11. Following discussions in Washington concerning visa 
sanctions, 14 of the recently submitted 16 returnee cases 
were confirmed as Ethiopians.  Cases previously submitted to 
the Ethiopian government, where it determined that further 
information was required, will now be processed directly 
through the Ethiopian Embassy in Washington.
