Banking Glitch in Ethiopia, Texas Immigration Law Takes Effect, & Jake Gyllenhaal Eyes Batman Cape!

✍ QUOTE OF THE DAY

“Success is not the absence of failure, but the courage to persist despite it.”

Failure is a natural part of the journey toward success and what truly matters is how we respond to it. Instead of being discouraged or giving up when things don't go as planned, true success comes from having the resilience to learn from failures, adapt, and continue moving forward towards our goals.

Ethiopia's CBE Scrambles to Recover Millions After Bank Glitch

Glitch Triggers Mass Withdrawals: Ethiopia's largest commercial bank, the Commercial Bank of Ethiopia (CBE), is facing a financial headache after a "systems glitch" allowed customers to withdraw more money than they had in their accounts.

Students Exploit the Flaw: News of the glitch spread quickly, particularly among university students, who reportedly flocked to ATMs and used the bank's app to withdraw significant sums.

Millions Withdrawn: Local media estimates suggest over $40 million was withdrawn or transferred before the bank could freeze transactions.

Bank Reassures Customers: CBE President Abe Sano assures customers their accounts are safe and not compromised by a cyberattack. The bank is working to recover the lost funds and is offering amnesty to those who return the extra money.

Uncertain Recovery: While universities are urging students to return the funds, the bank's success in recouping the money remains unclear.

Texas Immigration Law Allowed to Take Effect, But Legal Fight Continues

The Supreme Court cleared the way for Texas to enforce a law allowing state officials to arrest and detain immigrants suspected of entering the country illegally. This is a temporary win for Texas, but legal challenges are ongoing.

Key Points:

• Supreme Court lifts hold: The court blocked a lower court order preventing Texas from enforcing the law (Senate Bill 4).

• Federal government and advocates disagree: The Biden administration and immigration groups argue the law is unconstitutional and disrupts federal authority over immigration.

• Texas argues for state's rights: Texas officials say they have the right to defend their state from border issues and the federal government isn't doing enough.

• Uncertainties and Concerns: Law enforcement officials in Texas are concerned the law will strain resources and lead to racial profiling. Mexico will not accept migrants deported under this law.

• Legal battle continues: The appeals court will hear arguments on the case in April. The Supreme Court could become involved again if the appeals court doesn't issue a decision soon.

• Migrant crossings remain low: Despite the law, migrant apprehensions at the US-Mexico border are down from record highs in December.
