The curious case of
HailemedHin abera
When the hijacking of an Ethiopian Airlines plane flight number ET-702 that was bound to Rome but diverted to Geneva was heard, people had to wait the whole day to find out who the first officer-turned-hijacker was. It was Redwan Hussein, head of Government Communication Affairs Office, who revealed the name – Hailemedhin Abera Tegegne – to the world. Not many, including his neighbors, knew his name. In fact, they knew him by another moniker – Tadé, short for Tadlo, which is translated as “he is lucky”. The hijacker took those who knew him and the rest of the world by surprise and is now considered to be an unlucky person. Pictured above is Hailemedhin in Khartoum. The picture was taken by his brother, Endalamaw Abera (MD), 2 years ago. Pictured on the right is the house of Hailemedhin guarded by federal police officers. SEE FULL STORY ON PAGE 6.

The British Oil company prospecting for oil in the Ogaden basin, New Age, has noted oil and gas flow in its appraisal well Elkuran-3.
New Age started drilling the appraisal well last October, with a targeted depth of 2,850 meters. Reliable sources told The Reporter that a crew was drilling the well when it noted oil and gas flow at a depth of 1200 meters on February 12, 2014.
“Oil and gas shows were noted throughout the intervals,” the source said. The results are similar to that of Tenneco, the American company that drilled the first exploration well in the Elkuran locality in the 1970s. “Tenneco’s drilling crew encountered similar results in 1972,” the source said.
A petroleum expert told The Reporter that oil and gas flow does not necessarily mean that there is a commercial deposit. “Oil and gas flows are very common in that region, especially in the Elkuran and Hilala localities. More exploration work is needed,” the expert said.
Sources said the reservoirs at Elkuran-3 have low porosity and permeability and will likely require acid or fracture stimulation to produce the necessary commercial levels. “Oil and gas-condensate was recovered from one of sample zones. At the base of the well, a flow of gas was encountered and the drilling is suspended in order to mobilize test equipment to evaluate this zone. A decision has also been taken to deepen the well to below the initial planned target depth of 2,300m, to evaluate the deeper sandstone zone which is considered to have a significant gas condensate potential,” the source said.

Heineken officials bore no fruit since phone calls and e-mail requests were turned down.
In a related news, the newly-formed Raya Beer Share Company has pocketed a 279 million birr loan from CBE. Sources said the Commercial Bank approved loan is, of course, less than the 350 million birr Raya was looking for. Prior to the recent approved loan, Raya was able to amass some 630 million birr loan from some financial institution. Lemma Bekele, general manager of Raya Beer, said that CBE would officially announce the approval of the loan this week.
The construction of the factory has been progressing well according to the recent
information officials of Raya Beer have provided. By September, Raya Beer is expected to hit the market with an annual production of 600,000 hectoliters. Currently, Raya has raised its paid-up capital to 600 million birr against 500 last year and currently has accounted for a total investment capital of 1.5 billion birr.
Dawit Gebregziabher, a successful businessman who is well established in the Middle East and is currently here, owns 25 percent of shares by investing 157.5 million birr. BGI, a French-owned beer factory, is the other giant contender owning 42 percent of shares in Raya Beer.
a month or two,” John told The Reporter.
He said he had been meeting with both federal and local government officials about accessing a plot of land but with no success so far. “This time, I am having a fresh round of meetings. Meeting with the minister of agriculture, I am getting familiar with the federal and regional set-up here. I do not know how much success I will have this time around,” Mr. John said.
If successful, his investment will sit on 200 acres of land. But to kick things off, the company needs half of the total land to build a textile plant that will integrate spinning and weaving. Terry towel manufacturing is the other alternative to look at, according to Mr. John.
Though it is Sutlej’s first time to Africa, the company is reputable in India with a turnover of 20 billion rupees or close to eight billion birr annual.
Sutlej is also eying coffee in Ethiopia. As far as coffee is concerned, the company is looking to invest in an Arabica coffee plantation for which it needs two thousand hectares. But that seems unlikely to happen since Ethiopian investment law reserves the business only to Ethiopian nationals.
Meanwhile, at the moment there are about 15 foreign textile companies awaiting the completion of the construction of the Bole-Lemi industrial zone located east of the capital. According to information from the Ministry of Industry, all of these companies, mainly from South Korea and India, have settled their initial payments while some are installing machineries in the new sheds for production.

requirements in the banking business. He also said that the lack of credit analyzing capacity of banks to provide credit in a speedy manner is to blame for the shortage of credit. Participants from the foreign community at the meeting were taken by surprise by Getahun’s statement and asked if they can direct FDI companies who have already invested in Ethiopia to access the credits. The response to this was a bit surprising, according to some of participants. FDI companies are supposed to come with their own financial resource, not the other way around, officials said.
Donors... Cont`d from page 7 companies used to pay for foreign
reinsurance,” Temesgen Zeleke, insurance supervision directorate direct at NBE told a press conference on Thursday.
Thus far, 30 percent of the annual premium collected by local insurance companies was dedicated to purchase the services of foreign reinsurance companies.
The establishment of the reinsurance company promotes financial resource mobilization and reduces costs related to cross-border reinsurance transactions, the directive read.
The reinsurance company will be run by a board of directors, a chief executive office and a senior executive officer.
After the establishment of local reinsurers, Ethiopian insurance companies would no more be allowed to obtain reinsurance services from foreign companies unless it is allowed by another directive. Temesgen also noted that a follow-up directive would detail the circumstances that domestic insurance can look for foreign reinsurers.
Reinsurance is insurance that is purchased by an insurance company from one or more other insurance companies as a means of risk management, sometimes in practice including tax mitigation. The ceding company and the reinsurer enter into a reinsurance agreement which details the conditions upon which the reinsurer would pay a share of the claims incurred by the ceding company. The reinsurer
is paid a “reinsurance premium” by the ceding company, which issues insurance policies to its own policyholders.
In Ethiopia, the oldest and biggest insurance company, the state-owned Ethiopian Insurance Corporation, maintains outward reinsurance contracts with international reinsurance companies like Munich Re, Swiss Re and Africa Re.
Major global reinsurers include Munich Re, Swiss Re, Hannover Re, Lloyd’s of London, Berkshire Hathaway/General Re, SCOR, Reinsurance Group of America, China Reinsurance Group, Korean Reinsurance Company, Partner Re, Everest Re, Transatlantic Re, London Reinsurance Group and General Insurance Corporation of India.
