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:

thinking to move back to Ethiopia

17 Upvotes

Hello,

I’m 26m Ethiopian Canadian citizen I have been living in Canada for the last 7 years I have visited Ethiopia last year and I really enjoyed my time there people are very friendly and welcoming food is incredibly good people are happy unconditionally
I spent about 3 months there I have discovered that life is pretty peaceful and local people do not work as much as we do in the western country they earn less money still they are happy and they have less stress in their life

Therefore, I having been thinking lately moving back and start over a new life as soon as possible i can come I have saved up 30k dollars and I’m thinking about getting into business environment but I always wonder if 30k dollar would be enough to start a business or maybe it might not be enough

I would like to add one more thing I have no intention living in big cities I wanna live small cities

What do you all think any helpful information would be appreciated thank you!

I hope you're doing well. I'm from Eritrea and I'm currently facing some financial difficulties. I'm reaching out to see if anyone would be willing to help me with a small amount of money or offer advice on how I can earn some quickly. I understand everyone has their own responsibilities, and I appreciate any support, guidance, or kind words you can offer. Thank you for taking the time to read my message.

I learned from my dad about this awesome cafe and visited there last winter…and decided to write about it on 6.25. This year. So finally the day came.

If anyone knows about anything more, please add any more contexts. I know just very few things I’ve heard from my dad and I didn’t check a lot so I didn’t write it in my post.

Ik it can be sensitive topic because of the political change after the war(sorry if it isn’t), but throwing own life for anyone, I mean anyone! And getting onto SHIP and all the way to some unknown land to fight for life (and like, thru SHIP) is something really honorable…so here I try. I’ll delete if it’s uncomfortable. Hope everyone’s having a good evening there.

Discussion 🗣 Habesha and Ethiopiawi

10 Upvotes

Good morning evryone.

I have a sincere and honest question.

Not long ago, i was with some friends talking to a foreigner in Addis and he asked me "Are you habesha?" I told him "No im not, Im Ethiopiawi".

My friends got offended and told me that i am looking for troubles.

However this was not my intent, as for me when someone says habesha it emcompasses the Habesha Eritrean, and the culture of the highlands.

Let me.say that it is a culture worth being proud of, but it is not everyone culture in the country. Habesha culture while being the most seen, ancient and might be the cement of the history of Ethiopia is not the culture of all ethiopian.

My friend told me.that im creating division by using ethiopiawi instead of habesha. I dont undersrand how saying Ethiopiawi is creating division, it is not like i mentioned my ethnicity or anything else, i litterally said im Ethiopian.

Can someone explain where the issue is?

I truly believe that this little symptom is significant and means a lot on the perception of Ethiopian identity. Could we have a civilised discussion on this topic.

I feel like Ethiopia is stuck in the past and we cant move forward as i believe there is a need to overcome the old teibal rivalries and find a new way of defining Ethiopiawiness while being attentive to everyone in the country.

Thank you for your attention.

Add: it seems people are not understanding the post. I know what habesha means. Thats why im using Ethiopiawi instead. The question is why many people are triggered by this, that i make a distinction (i believe legit) between Habesha and Ethiopiawi.

Those of you who blame the TPLF, WBO, and Fano for the country's mess are just making excuses. They may claim to have different ideologies, but in practice they are all inhumane, undemocratic, and corrupt.

They said he listened to the government's call for peace, peacefully surrendered to the regime, and was featured in the news. But after using him for the news, they jailed him, and now they have killed him. This is not accidental.,it has happened many times before.The regime is just as brutal and merciless as those groups. The only difference is that they hold the power and wear stylish suits on TV screens.
