“ A warm friendship connects the Ethiopian and American people, ” U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson announced earlier this year. “ We remain committed to working with Ethiopia to foster liberty, democracy, economic growth, protection of human rights, and the rule of law. ” Indeed, the website for the U.S. Embassy in Ethiopia is marked by press releases touting U.S. aid for farmers and support for public health infrastructure in that East African nation. “ Ethiopia remains among the most effective development partners, particularly in the areas of health care, education, and food security, ” says the State Department. Behind the scenes, however, Ethiopia and the U.S. are bound together by long-standing relationships built on far more than dairy processing equipment or health centers to treat people with HIV. Fifteen years ago, the U.S. began setting up very different centers, filled with technology that is not normally associated with the protection of huma

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) estimates that Hurricane Irma has destroyed one-quarter of the homes in the Florida Keys. Florida Governor Rick Scott said: " So many areas that you would never have thought have flooded, have flooded. " On Tuesday, federal officials announced that all houses in the Keys had experienced damage and millions of people remained without power. Approximately 6.5 million of the states 20.6 million population were given evacuation orders prior to Irma making landfall. “ Basically every house in the Keys was impacted in some way or another, ” FEMA Administrator Brock Long said at a news conference. “ This is why we ask people to leave. ” Over 350 people had to be rescued, according to Mayor Lenny Curry, following the catastrophic storm surge and tropical storm-strength winds that accompanied Hurricane Irma.

globinfo freexchange Μιλώντας στο Focus FM, στα πλαίσια της Διεθνούς Έκθεσης Θεσσαλονίκης, ο πρόεδρος της Λαϊκής Ενότητας, Παναγιώτης Λαφαζάνης, έκανε μια δήλωση που θα μπορούσε να θεωρηθεί τουλάχιστον ύποπτη. Στην ουσία, έκλεισε το μάτι στο εγχώριο κεφάλαιο, στέλνοντας το μήνυμα ότι θα του δοθεί προτεραιότητα απέναντι στους ξένους 'επενδυτές'. Όπως είπε χαρακτηριστικά: Επενδύσεις στην Ελλάδα από το εξωτερικό δεν πρόκειται να έρθουν.

Όλα όσα έχουν πωληθεί δεν είναι προβληματικά. Ποτέ δεν αγοράζεται κάτι το οποίο είναι προβληματικό. Πραγματικά, νέες επενδυτικές δραστηριότητες από ξένα κεφάλαια δεν πρόκειται να υπάρξουν. Θα υπάρξουν τέτοιες επενδύσεις στην Ελλάδα μόνο αν υπάρξει επενδυτική επ

The unflinching support for the EU and its institutions is not about preventing European countries from becoming “Afghanistan.” Not about preventing collapse. Not about the inconvenience of long lines at passport control. It is about promoting an ideology, a specific worldview, a vision for the way the world should work. by Michael Nevradakis Part 4 - The EU’s democratic deficit, hypocrisy, and the human cost The austerity regime in Greece has been far from victimless. Repeated reports from the United Nations and the Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights (OHCHR) have found that the austerity measures imposed in Greece are in violation of international law and the basic human rights of the Greek people, who have increasingly been impoverished during the crisis as a result of the successive pension and wage cuts and reductions to social services that have been imposed. For a while, the “European family” demonstrated “solidarity” with Greece and its peo
