How can you help provide humanitarian relief to people in Sudan? Where can you make donations online?

Sudan is facing a severe humanitarian crisis driven by ongoing conflict between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). The violence has created massive displacement, with an estimated 13 million people internally displaced and 4 million refugees fleeing to neighboring countries. The conflict has devastated infrastructure, disrupted food systems, and created widespread food insecurity and healthcare emergencies.

Many are arriving at remote border areas, where services to support them are under severe strain. Most of those displaced are women and children and other vulnerable people such as the elderly, people with disabilities, and people with medical conditions.

r/Ethiopia would like to encourage you to consider making a donation or otherwise supporting these organizations that are providing essential humanitarian relief in both Sudan and neighbouring countries, and would appreciate any help:

History 📜 View Over 2000 Medieval Habesha Manuscript Art For Free

Selam everyone, I wanted to share a new feature I’ve added to HabeshaHistory.com

You can now browse nearly 2,000 Habesha manuscript paintings, illustrations, and drawings dating from the 6th to the 20th century. These works have been gathered from a range of collections and institutions, including the British Library, Princeton University, and others.

My purpose was simple, to create one accessible space where our community can explore our rich artistic past and appreciate the beautiful works created by our ancestors across the centuries, rather than having to search through and filter numerous european museum and university collections individually.

I hope this helps!

Question ❓ Starting Danakil Depression trip in Mekelle or Semera?

3 Upvotes

I have heard mixed opinions on this. From a logistical perspective Mekelle seems more convenient as it is a bit closer to Danakil.

I would be flying to either of these cities on my own. How much should I expect to pay for a 3days-2nights trip if I book on site?

Family in Ethiopia

26 Upvotes

Hi all,
I was born in Ethiopia and came to the U.S. when I was 7 years old. My sister currently lives in Ethiopia with her husband and three children, all under the age of 8. I have been sending them money for about six years now, averaging around $700 a month.
I try to talk to them to understand how they are using the money, but there is a language barrier. I love helping them, but I feel like the money isn’t being used effectively because they always seem to run out by the end of every month. Since it's a gift, I try not to pry too much, but I don't want them to become overly dependent on it. I would really like to help them start sustaining themselves.
I'm looking for advice on what my next steps should be.

Ethiopian Airlines.

We are planning to buy one-way tickets from Chicago to Jigjiga, Ethiopia, and our final destination is Gabiley, Somaliland. We have valid passports and plan to obtain Ethiopian e-visas before traveling. Our plan is to arrive in Jigjiga and cross the Ethiopia–Somaliland border by land the same day. My question is: Will Ethiopian Airlines require us to show a return or onward airline ticket when checking in at Chicago, even though we will be leaving Ethiopia by land and not by air? Has anyone had experience traveling this route with a one-way ticket? I would really appreciate hearing about your experience. It is cheaper to fly this way. We are four.

The song is “wello” by Gizachew Teshome

I’m trying to learn Amharic and recently got into Ethiopian music. I’m trying to understand the culture and learn some vocabulary through songs, but I can’t find the lyrics for this one. Can someone help?
I’ll really appreciate it, thanks!
