"The marble gentleman of Addis Abeba, Piazza area stands eternally pensive, hand to chest as if swearing loyalty to an invisible audience. In reality, he is the #statue of Abune Petros, the Ethiopian bishop executed by Italian forces in 1936 for resisting the #Fascist occupation. Today, he gazes over a city jammed with traffic, bureaucracy, and high-rise ambitions, holding a broken chain that once symbolised defiance but now competes with satellite dishes and billboards. History wanted him remembered as a martyr; urban life has quietly recast him as a traffic landmark."

We don’t know what it means to earnings.” "The inflation fire was already hot and now with war-driven inflation added to the mix, it will grow even hotter, setting off a scramble by the world’s central banks to pull back their stimulus earlier than expected," Chris Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS, wrote in an email. "A spike in inflation rates has preceded economic recessions historically and this time prices have soared to levels that once again pose a threat to growth."
