ኬንያ ኢትዮጵያ ውስጥ በባንክ ንግድ ልትሰማራ ነው። Ethiopia gives green light to Kenyan banks to open office

Ethiopian Parliament passed the Special Status Agreement between the governments of Ethiopia and Kenya yesterday (March 11, 2014), which among others gives green light to Kenyan banks to open their offices in Ethiopia.

The agreement signed by the Heads of States of the two nations in November 2012 was already approved by Kenyan parliament earlier. Ethiopia’s latest move now gives Kenya special access to the Ethiopian 90 million people economy in sectors which have been closed for foreign investors.

Approval of the 12 pages and 14 articles Special Status Agreement by the Ethiopian parliament coincided with the three days official visit of Kenya’s President Uhuru Kenyatta and his business delegation to Ethiopia.

It was in March 1, 2012 that the former leaders of the two nations, the late Prime Minister Meles Zenawi of Ethiopia and President Mwai Kibaki of Kenya have agreed on the need of Special Status Agreement.

Facilitation of investments on selected sectors, facilitation of trade, infrastructure development between the two nations, establishment of economic development corridors and formation of joint private investment council are some of the cooperation areas listed the Special Status Agreement.

After completing the legal process of the parliament the law is expected to be published in Negarit Gazet of Ethiopia to be fully operational.

ኢትዮጵያን ሊቀራመቷት ነው::Is Ethiopia Ready for Fast Food and Name-Brand Soap?

Is Ethiopia Ready for Fast Food and Name-Brand Soap
Ethiopia is a largely agricultural nation of 94 million people that endures frequent droughts and famine, with a per-capita income of a bit more than $100 per month. Is it ready for Heineken beer and KFC chicken outlets?

The companies behind these global brands think it may be. Amsterdam-based Heineken (HEIA:NA) is scheduled to open a $127 million brewery in mid-2014 on the outskirts of Ethiopia’s capital, Addis Ababa. Unilever (UN), the British-Dutch consumer-products giant, announced plans this month to open a factory near Addis Ababa that’s expected to produce detergents such as Omo. Louisville-based Yum! Brands (YUM), which owns KFC, is also considering a move into Ethiopia.

As Africa’s second-most-populous country, behind Nigeria, “Ethiopia is the one that stands out,” Bruce Layzell, Yum’s general manager for new African markets, told Bloomberg News. “We don’t want to go to a country where we can only build four or five restaurants,” he said. “We want to go in and build 50, 100. Our business is the scale game.” Besides the size of its population, what attracts multinational consumer groups to Ethiopia is robust economic growth, averaging 9.3 percent over the past four years, according to the International Monetary Fund.

Unilever says it’s trying to emulate its success in Vietnam, where over the past 20 years it has invested some $300 million and enjoyed average annual sales growth of more than 10 percent from brands that include Lipton tea and Dove soap. As in Vietnam, “we’ve taken a long-term investment decision in Ethiopia,” Dougie Brew, Unilever’s head of corporate affairs for Africa, told Bloomberg. Unilever plans to develop a “comprehensive consumer-goods manufacturing business,” he said, as well as a network of Ethiopian suppliers and distributors.

Heineken made its first big move into Ethiopia in 2011, when it acquired two state-owned brewers, Harar and Bedele, for $160 million. The new brewery scheduled to open this summer will produce Harar and Bedele as well as Heineken, according to local press reports quoting company officials.

Even if they can afford beer and soap, do Ethiopians really have enough disposable income to dine out regularly? Yum’s Layall admits the company is “nowhere near pushing the go button” for KFC in Ethiopia. “It’s still at that explore stage, to find the right partner, to see if the business model will work.”?

ስፖርት: የዚምባዌው ቄስ ሊቭርፑልን የማሸነፍ ሁኔታ በተመለከተ የ$1.5 ሚሊዮን ዶላር ክስ መሰረቱ

ቄሱ እንዳለው ሊቭርፑል ካላሸነፈ የእኔ ስም ይጠፋል በሚል ስጋት ነው።
A Zimbabwean prophet has launched a $1.5 million legal claim against a South African sports broadcaster after it claimed he had predicted that Liverpool would win this season's English Premier League, it was reported on Wednesday.

Despite the fact that Liverpool are currently second in the league with just 10 games to play, Spirit Embassy Church leader, Uebert Angel, denies ever making the claim.

He says his reputation will be damaged if they do not win the title.

"The plaintiff claims the sum of $1,500,000 considering his character and stature as a prophet with great following... who is respected the world over by religious, social and political leaders," stated the summons filed in Harare High Court.

He says he is entitled to compensation as it would be "difficult to rehabilitate completely a reputation even if it is proved in court that the statement was misguided...".

Angel said that Johannesburg-based Supersport published the story on its website last December.

The prediction, as published on www.supersport.com, was headlined: "Zimbabwean prophet predicts Liverpool to win title."

The Herald newspaper, quoted the Angel as saying: "Liverpool, I am with you this year and God has shown me he is returning you to your glory days."

SuperSport broadcasts live English Premier League matches in several African countries.

The league enjoys a big following, where fans place bets and congregate at bars to follow their teams.

Although Liverpool have won 18 league titles, the last of these was in 1990.

ስፖርት፥ የኒውካስል ማናጀር ለ ሰባት ጨዋታዎች ታገደ: Newcastle manager Alan Pardew was banned for seven matches on Tuesday for head-butting

Newcastle manager Alan Pardew was banned for seven matches on Tuesday for head-butting an opposing player during a Premier League game, further besmirching the reputation of one of English football's most hot-headed coaches.
Pardew was hit with the heaviest punishment ever inflicted on a Premier League manager, which will involve him initially serving a three-match stadium suspension. He is banned from being on the touchline for the other four games.
"As I have made clear, I deeply regret the incident and again wholeheartedly apologize to all parties for my conduct, which I understand was not acceptable," Pardew said in a statement released by Newcastle after an FA hearing.
"I will accept the punishment handed down by the FA today."
Pardew already has been sanctioned by Newcastle, accepting a formal warning and a fine of 100,000 pounds ($168,000), following his confrontation with Hull midfielder David Meyler on March 1.
Meyler initially barged into Pardew as he looked to retrieve the ball for a throw-in in the 72nd minute of the game at KC Stadium. Pardew squared up to Meyler and moved his head in the direction of the player's face, then was sent to the stands.
The FA also fined Pardew 60,000 pounds ($100,000) and warned him about his future conduct.
Pardew is the first Premier League manager to receive a stadium ban. Earlier this season, then-Blackpool manager Paul Ince received a five-match stadium ban from the FA for violently shoving a fourth official during a rant filled with profanity.
It is the latest touchline incident involving the hot-headed Pardew, who was banned for two matches last season for pushing a linesman and also was warned about his conduct in January after abusing Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini in the technical area.
In light of this latest touchline spat, Pardew said he may have to stay in his seat in the dugout and resist the temptation to get close to the action.
"I've always been involved by being on the sideline," Pardew said. "But I don't think it can harm my managementship to sit there, and maybe I'm at an age now where I need to."
Pardew will not be able to attend Craven Cottage for Newcastle's match at Fulham on Saturday. He will also miss the home games against Crystal Palace and Everton.
Pardew has apologized to Hull and Meyler. Police said no criminal action will be taken against him.
Newcastle is eighth in the Premier League with 10 matches remaining.
