Ethiopia

Ethiopia, a country in East Africa, has recently reported significant economic growth with federal revenues reaching 323 billion birr within the first three months of its current fiscal year, marking a substantial increase from the previous year's 152 billion birr. This financial progress highlights the government's efforts towards economic development and stability under Minister Fitsum Assefa's leadership. Concurrently, an Ethiopian national, Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, has sparked news in the UK after being accidentally released from prison where he was serving a sentence for sexually assaulting a woman and a 14-year-old girl. This incident has led to a manhunt and raised concerns over Britain's immigration and prison systems' efficiency. Additionally, reports indicate that some asylum seekers, including potential victims of modern slavery, have been removed to France under the UK’s “one in, one out” policy, highlighting ongoing challenges in managing migration and ensuring human rights protections.
