It’s 12 years since Adel Taarabt did this at Loftus Road. Sweet mercy. That finish. Filthier than a badger’s toenails.

#Ethiopia readies plans to export power to #Tanzania via #Kenya Ethiopia is preparing to export 100 megawatts of electricity to Tanzania through Kenya, with final negotiations underway to establish a cross-border power trade agreement. The quantum of power to be traded may be revised during final talks, according to Moges Mekonnen, a spokesperson at state utility Ethiopian Electric Power. An agreement between Kenya and Tanzania, which allows the latter nation to use high-voltage lines to transmit power through its neighbor’s territory, has been signed and is awaiting regulatory approval, according to John Mativo, chief executive at Kenya Electricity Transmission Co. Electricity generated in Sodo in southern Ethiopia will be sent through Suswa in Kenya and onwards to Arusha in northern Tanzania, he added. Ethiopia has built at least four large-scale dams, including the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, to generate hydropower to supply its nascent manufacturing industries and export to its neighbors. Kenya began importing 200 megawatts of hydropower from Ethiopia in 2022. bnnbloomberg.ca/business/polit…

Delays and inefficiency meant that many infrastructure projects failed to deliver promised benefits. Moreover, the political crisis of the past decade and the civil war since 2020 have left Abiy Ahmed’s government battling political and debt crisis to finally complete the GERD
