Only three bodies among the eight flight crews, one of whom
has not so far been named, who were aboard ET409
which crashed immediately after taking off on
its fatal flight from Beirut to Addis Abeba were
delivered Sunday, February 14, 2010, at the Bole
International Airport after identification was
carried out through DNA testing and clearance
granted by Lebanese authorities. An Ethiopian
delegation of 14 members, including medical,
technical and engineering professionals as well as
eight people from Blake Emergency Services of London
were involved in the identification. However, the
coffins for the bodies of Gelila Gedion, lead cabin
crew, Nesanet Yifru, cabin crew (cc) and Seble
Gebretsadik, cc, were joined by three empty coffins
for the unfound bodies of two other cabin crews,
Helen Addise and Seblewnegel Seyoum, lead CC, and
co-pilot Alula Tamrat, whose families had agreed for
a remembrance to be held for them along with three
of their friends. Also remembered were nine
passengers, for whom there was only one silver
coffin.

Commentary |

The challenges of the
macroeconomic management of this country to those in charge are evident. There
is a painful instability in the balance of payments, and what has been hoped to
be achieved from the export market has not been realised. Domestically, the
economy is ploughed by inflation, forcing policymakers to go on tightening
credit. |

It is hard to be optimistic about the US at present.
With the help of crucial government support in the
crisis, the US financial sector (or at least parts
of it) has bounced back, while the US’s real economy
struggles with high unemployment, discouraged labour
force dropouts, and damaged balance sheets. |

Had it not been for good old Muammar Al-Gaddafi, of
Libya, the club of the African heads of state would
be one that is boring, even to the thousands of
delegates themselves. Credit goes, in earnest, to
him for spicing up the African Union (AU) summits -
wherever they are held. |
