EWF Inc of years. They practice an intensive from of agriculture on the terraced hills; they build terraces on sloping terrains in order to prevent soil erosion. The Konso live together in communal villages and the stone walls built around every cottage help to prevent the spreading of fire to other houses in case of fire outbreaks. The Konso are also well know for their wooden totems or erected figures (waka) placed on the graves of their heroes and ancestors. Another attraction, unique to the Konso, is the geomorphological feature called New York, which is an eroded stone terrain that resembles the sky scrapers in New York City (USA). Finally, a must see - the Konso Eco-lodge (Strawberry Fields). This is a project which represent the local culture, offering standard hospitality (traditionally built bungalows), in an environmentally friendly setting. The organic restaurant provides vegan organic food from its own farm, all within a pleasant and unforgetable atmosphere. What a journey! All of us should try it; I promise you will feel so at ease in this Caribbean part of Ethiopia. The last parts of the south, before Kenya and the south Sudan borders, are part of the Omo Valley, Kaffa, inhabited by ethnic groups like the Mursi, Surma, Hamers Tsemay, Bena, Arbore, Karo and Ari. On the way back to Shashemane I could glance a massive baboon and appreciate again the magnificent nature and wildlife of the southern region. Lovely beauty.

Ethiopia Africa Session at the G8 L’Aquila Summit Prime Minister Meles Zeawi, the Chair of the Heads of State and Government Implementation Committee of NEPAD, participated in the G8 Africa Session at the G8 Summit held in L’Aquila, Italy (8th - 10th July) along with the Heads of State and Government of G8 countries, the President of the European Commission, the Heads of State and Government of Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Senegal, South Africa and Angola, the Chair of the African Union and the President of the African Union Commission. The G8 and African partners agreed on the importance of continuing to reinforce their partnership, based on mutual accountability and respect, for common good. Leaders agreed that the economic and financial crisis is hitting the poorest hardest and jeopardising progress made in health, the eradication of hunger and poverty. They also underscored the need to act swiftly to restore growth and implement adequate measures to protect the most vulnerable. G8 countries reiterated their commitments, including those made in Gleneagles and more recently at the G20 London Summit to support African efforts towards promoting development, good governance and achieving the MDGs. Also discussed was the impact of climate change on Africa. Leaders agreed on the need to ensure that the specific concerns of developing countries are adquately addressed in the agreement to be reached at the UN conference in Copenhagen. Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said the $20 bilion pledge by the Summit would assist Afrian countries to effectively implement the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) and also help fight the world food crisis. News Ethiopia Plans New Rail System The Ethiopian government has confirmed its plans to build an extensive railway system. The plan involves the construction of 5,000km of track, mainly for carrying freight. This would be a standard gauge railway, electrified to take advantage of the abundant, cheap electricity expected to be produced by ambithious new hydroelectric schemes soon to come into operation. At the moment, Ethiopia has only one railway - the historic gauge line from Addis Ababa to Djibouti. A major project is currently underway to restore it, with European Union support. Almost a third of the track is being re-laid, using heavier weight rails. A spectacular stretch of the line, near the town of Metahara, where the track runs on a narrow causeway across a volcanic lake, has already been completed. The railway’s general manager, to’om Terie, said he expects a volume of about 10 trains a day and a comfortable operating profit. When the work is finished i perhaps 18 months time, the system will still be narrow gauge, but will be much safer ad more robust, able to take heavier trains at faster speeds. Euro Cable Plc Launches Production of Elecric Cables in Ethiopia Euro Cables Plc, the first private cable factory in Ethiopia, has launched production of all kinds of electric cales for the first time in the country. The general Manager of the factory said that in addition to supprting efforts to expand electricity in Ethiopia, the domestic production of electricity cables would facilitate housing development in Ethiopia. The factory was established with over 70 million Birr capital in a joint venture with Demes Kablo San Tic Ltd Sti, a Turkish company. The estalbishment of the factory would play an important role in reducing Ethiopia’s foreigh currency expenditure because electricity cables were imported from abroad. The locally produced cables would save 40% of foreign currency expenditre. In addition to transferring technologies to the country, it would also enable exporting.
