Ethiopia just made $70 million by selling carbon credits to many countries around the world. Through its Green Legacy plan, Ethiopia grew many trees, which helped it sign deals with groups like the World Bank. The country's forest lands grew bigger, reaching 23.6 percent of its total area. Officials from Ethiopian Forestry Development shared this news yesterday. These new deals let Ethiopia earn money from all those trees it planted.
The Green Legacy plan began in 2019 when leaders wanted to stop losing forests and fix damaged land. When rains come, Ethiopia plans to add 7.5 billion more baby trees from June through September. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed told everyone on Tuesday that they had already beat their big goal of planting 40...
Africa needs more money from inside the continent to fix health problems. The Africa Centers for Disease Control shared two new reports yesterday about money troubles. These reports tell us how disease control works across Africa but warn about big problems that might undo years of health progress. The last two years saw many more disease outbreaks than before - jumping up by 41 percent. Africa had 152 outbreaks in 2022, but that number grew to 213 by 2024.
Health systems feel huge pressure from these outbreaks. They show deep problems in how Africa responds to sickness. Money for health keeps going down with outside help dropping by 70 percent from 2021 to 2025. Making things worse, Africa buys over 90 percent of its vaccines...
President Mnangagwa likes what Trump did with tariffs. Trump put a 10% tax on stuff from most places and up to 50% tax on things from certain countries. Trump says this helps keep American jobs safe by making foreign items cost more than American-made products. Mnangagwa wrote on X that he thinks this idea works well to protect jobs and businesses at home. He said Zimbabwe wants to be friends with all countries and enemies with none.
Zimbabwe took a big surprise step after this news. Instead of putting extra taxes on American goods like China did, Mnangagwa said Zimbabwe would stop charging any taxes at all on things from America. He believes this plan will help Zimbabwe sell more to America and buy more American stuff. Many people had...
Zimbabwe tells foreign truck companies they must leave or prove their worth. The country changed its rules through the 2024 Finance Act. This law added truck driving and shipping to jobs only Zimbabweans can do. The government sent out a notice from two big departments about this change.

Wicknell Chivayo runs IMC Communications, which just changed from a phone business to fixing roads after winning money from the government. His company started as a place that helped people connect to the internet. They even got special permission from Zimbabwe officials who watch over phone companies. They wanted to work with SpaceX Starlink and sell their internet services locally.
The deal with Starlink fell apart because no company had the sole right to offer those services in Zimbabwe. This hurt what Chivayo hoped to do with internet business. But his company came back into public view because they suddenly switched to building roads instead. Nobody knows exactly which government jobs they won, but someone shared a video showing...
