A Timket holiday festivities across the Lideta area. Ethiopia's peak holiday season which lasts until mid-March from late September has drawn to a close with contrasting levels of festivities across the country. The spectre of hunger haunted much of Tigray and portions of Afar while parts of Oromia and Amhara regional states dealt with security concerns. Addis Abeba was plagued with soaring inflation which climbed back up by one percent in the demand spike of the festivities. The country at large has a little over 20 million people in need of emergency food assistance, to which the government recently pledged close to four billion Birr to reach around nine million people by next month.
