The Reporter Ethiopia –
After nearly a year since a garbage slide at the half-a-century-year old Repi Landfill claimed lives of 72 people and victimized hundreds more, the US Embassy in Ethiopia and the Addis Ababa City Administration are working closely to revitalize another landfill—the Sendafa Sanitary Landfill Plant. Sahadat Hossian (PhD), professor of civil engineering with the University of Texas, where he heads Solid Waste Institute for Sustainability (SWIS) told The Reporter that the city government is working closely with the US embassy to revitalize the Sendafa Landfill Plant.
