The exchange rate ETB - € is finally moving in the direction that the loss of value of the Birr no longer feels so dire. There is no further word of peace negotiations, at least not in Addis. In Addis, everything feels completely normal and peaceful again, which is wonderful.

News from Ethiopia
 
The government seems to have regained a firm grip on Tigray. If I understand the news correctly, (please do not put my exact words on a gold scale) the government has put a lot of effort into holding peace negotiations during the ceasefire in the last 6 months. Now these have not materialized and the government has entered Tigray in mid-August after an attack by the TPLF and has dealt a heavy blow to the TPLF. Nobody really expected that. In Addis, everything is normal and we have opened our project. However, the circumstances in which we are working here and living in Ethiopia are not normal. With all the potential that Ethiopia holds, it is so painful to see so much of it broken and lost to war.

The project has been closed for 4 weeks now. The only ones working are our hardworking chickens laying eggs. When the project starts, we will be able to eat most of our own eggs and fresh vegetables from our garden. We would like to take this opportunity to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the generous additional donations that have been given for our chicken project and the garden project!
