I express my sincere condolences on the passing of Alberto Varnero, a pioneering figure in Ethiopia’s construction sector since the late 1950s. His work has profoundly shaped the nation’s built environment and historical landmarks.
Among his many contributions delivering landmark projects are the Africa Hall (UN ECA Headquarters), Addis Ababa City Hall, Commercial Bank of Ethiopia Headquarters, Hilton Hotel, Millennium Concert Hall, Jimma Aba Jifar Airport upgrade, Abrehot Library, Unity Park, and the renovation of the National Palace.
His legacy stands in the foundations of these national landmarks and in the progress they symbolize. May he rest in peace.

The first learners came in today into our @alx_africa space in Addis Ababa. This is what “blended learning” and community looks like. Excited to support young tech talent with the infrastructure they need to succeed @jbarbier @MastercardFdn

A great feature in today’s @addis_fortune of two successful Ethiopian-American doctors who established Axone Stroke & Spine Center.
Dr. Akeza & Dr. Wondossen are inspirational diaspora returnees from the U.S. making a difference in their birth country #Ethiopia. Well done guys!

Sorry to see Ethiopian Airlines CEO Ato Tewolde resigning for health reasons. ET thrived under his 11 year leadership and they were instrumental in helping evacuate Americans from all over Africa when COVID started. ET is one of the best airlines in the world; not just Africa.

Seeing #abrehot library quietly buzzing with people from all walks of life reading, fiercely typing away on their keyboards, doing homework, huddling around chatting, & browsing brought joy beyond helping with the inauguration of this landmark for #addisabeba! My heart smiled!

So sad to hear of the passing of Ethiopian musician "Elvis" Alemayehu. The world's loss is Heaven's gain - where the music will no doubt improve!

Those saying Ethiopia will crumble like Yugoslavia are wrong. Yugoslavia was a country created by WWI’s winners while the Ethiopian nation evolved over 2,000 years of history and has overcome many previous crises. Once peace returns it will thrive again.
