Central Bank Sacks General Manager of Nile
Insurance |
|
|
|
The National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) has sacked Almaz
Moges from her post as General Manager of the
turbulent Nile Insurance. Getahun Nana, Banking and
Insurance Supervision Department head, wrote a
letter to Nile on June 19, 2008, informing them that
her deputy, Dawit G. Amanuel, would take over the
post. It is alleged, however, that she refused to
hand over the office to her successor. |

| Opinion |

Congress has always had a soft spot for “experts”
who tell members what they want to hear, whether
it’s supply-side economists declaring that tax cuts
increase revenue or climate-change skeptics
insisting that global warming is a myth.
Right now, the welcome mat is out for analysts who
claim that out-of-control speculators are
responsible for four-dollars-a-gallon gas. |

VERBATIM |

"I
was naïve; I really thought we were going to be a mainstream democracy
overnight." |
|
Samuel Assefa
(PhD), Ethiopia's ambassador to the United States, was last week
quoted as saying by The Hill, a weekly newspaper
published in Washington D.C., after the U.S. Senate stalled a
bill that became highly controversial among Ethiopians. The
HR2003, passed by Congress, is seen by its advocates as an
instrument to force Ethiopia's government to account for the
killings following the May 2005 elections, and observe human
rights, while its opponents feel that it is in contravention of
Ethiopia's sovereignty. |
