AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Logistics Liberalization: Ethiopia’s freight and shipping sector is moving from state-controlled protectionism toward full liberalization, with foreign investors now able to fully own logistics and freight forwarding firms—aimed at tackling long-running issues like high Djibouti demurrage costs and capacity gaps. Classical Music in Addis Ababa: A Russian classical concert at the Adwa Victory Memorial Museum’s Gasha Cinema Hall turned the venue into a cultural bridge, pairing Ethiopia’s Adwa legacy with Tchaikovsky-style sound. Road Running in Harar: Sena Gemechu and Rahel Embibel won the men’s and women’s titles at the Ethio Telecom Great Ethiopian Run in Harar, closing the Discover Ethiopia Classics series with a puzzle-medal finish. Tourism Push: Addis Ababa is reporting record conference growth and launching an Africa-wide tourism promotion campaign in Kenya, with plans to expand to 10 countries. Smart Skills for Youth: Addis Ababa Mayor Adanech Abiebie launched construction of the city’s first Smart Polytechnic College, targeting job-ready training in tech and manufacturing. Music & Heritage: LG is backing the Kagnew Choir with a dedicated practice studio in Addis Ababa’s Korean War Veterans Memorial Hall, supporting descendants through sound and song. Protoje Video Premiere: Jamaican reggae artist Protoje released “Reference,” filmed in Ethiopia during Melkam Gena, spotlighting Haile Selassie I and African identity.
