Hallo an alle
seit einigen Wochen haben wir hier in Äthiopien eine "kleine Regenzeit" die erheblich mehr Niederschläge brachte als üblich und die Aussichten sind weiter schlecht. Jetzt kommt es in vielen Gebiete zu den ersten Überschwemmungen, Straßenschäden und leider auch Opfern.
Die Straße zwischen Sodo ins Rift Valley über Halaba nach Shashemanie ist auf der Höhe Adjie an zwei stellen Blockiert und nicht passierbar, man muss in Halaba auf Butajera fahren und kann dann hinter Butajera rechts ab nach Zeway wieder zurück ins Rift oder weiter gerade aus direkt nach Addis. Wichtig für alle die von Arba Minch kommen oder wollen.
Auf der Strasse von Sodo nach Gilgibe gab es von Montag auf Dienstag einen schweren Erdrutsch der leider auch ca. 50 Menschen das Leben kostete, diese Strecke wird sicher auf längere Zeit nicht passierbar.
Im Osten und Süden besonders in allen Tieflagen (sicher auch Omo und Gibe Flüsse im Süden) warnt man jetzt von erheblichen Überschwemmungen.
Wer genau Infos zu Straßen braucht, einfach bitte melde und ich erkundige mich.

Re: Äthiopien schwere Regenfälle
Unseasonal heavy rains have affected tens of thousands of people in southeastern Ethiopia over the last couple of days. As of early Wednesday, May 11, 2016, severe weather in the country suffering its worst drought in 5 decades claimed lives of at least 50 people.
41 people were killed in a landslide that hit near Sodo, Wolayita region (SNNP) on May 10, 2016. The landslide hit at down on Tuesday, following heavy rains in five districts on Monday, May 9. A road linking Wolayita zone with Dawro zone and a bridge which connects Wolayita town with Sidama zone have been damaged by floods, local police office reports.
"Rescue efforts were underway to save people missing in the landslide. However, flooded roads and the landslide made the rescue efforts difficult," Alemayehu Mamo, head of the Wolaita Zone police department said yesterday.
In Bale, Oromia, some 300 km (186 miles) east, 9 people have died and more than 1 000 cattle drowned in floods.
Roads have been washed away and bridges have collapsed in many parts of the country. Tens of thousands of people are affected.
