The agreement is a follow up to another one between the two countries in December 2011 in which it was agreed not to host opposition figures from their respective countries.]]> Dave Thu, 17 May 2012 14:32:26 -0500 http://www.newsdire.com/politics/3113-ethiopian-court-rules-that-11-will-face-terror-charges-amid-signs-of-increasing-militancy.html http://www.newsdire.com/politics/3113-ethiopian-court-rules-that-11-will-face-terror-charges-amid-signs-of-increasing-militancy.html

A new study that tracked the health and coffee consumption of more than 400,000 older adults for nearly 14 years found that java drinkers were less likely to die during the study than their counterparts who eschewed the brew. In fact, men and women who averaged four or five cups of coffee per day had the lowest risk of death, according to a report in Thursday's edition of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Interesting, because at least as a tax paying Bathonian his reaction to twinning shows that he keeps abreast of the work of Bath's council. Surprising, because as an erudite Bathonian, while he knows that Ethiopia is "poor", he's got the location wrong – Ethiopia is in east and not north Africa.

But in a remote part of Ethiopia, a man with a loud speaker hails the imminent arrival of Mark Esbester and a team from the charity Vision Aid Overseas (VAO).

The public announcement certainly does the trick. When Mark and the volunteers arrive in the town of Debark the next day, a queue of people are already waiting to be seen by the outreach clinic.

Whether you live in the United States or in Ethiopia, sanitation and proper hygiene is an issue that affects you, but in Ethiopia, the lack of convenient water sources can make the difference between life and death.

Nassir Bare complained to the OPI in February 2010 that one year earlier, when he was aged 17, police had repeatedly struck his chin against the gutter, chipping his teeth, kicked his legs out from under him, kicked him in the ribs, sprayed him in the face with capsicum spray while handcuffed and told him ''you black people think you can come to this country and steal cars''. Mr Bare, who is from Ethiopia, is now taking legal action against the OPI and individual officers of the OPI for their decisions to refer his complaint to Victoria Police's internal ethical standards department for investigation.

Hours before, the man had made his way to a rural village, summoned by the children's grandmother. The boys, Abenet and Afework, had been born several weeks premature. Their mother had died in childbirth. Their father, a poor farmer already struggling to keep two older children alive, lacked the resources to care for them.
