#AddisAbaba's public transportation (trams & busses) should run to at least midnight. Specially, with declining street parking options, those who wish to eat out, get a haircut, buy groceries, night shift workers, etc ... should have reasonably priced mobility options.

Sometimes, I find the habesha social psychology hard to comprehend. For instance, among ordinary ferenjis its a point of pride to purchase the same item at a lower price than others. Habesha take pride in paying more for the same thing. It doesn't make sense!

George Orwell was an insightul observer with honed deductive skills that made him appear like a soothsayer.

#AddisAbaba is nothing like the desert kingdom. It has its own vibe and character!

Hahahaha! Brain freeze brought on by hard logic!

This is a classic case of the 'fake it til you make it' mantra of the mediocre, unlearned and lazy wannabes. Sadly, even the Indian minister for Electronics and Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw, was duped into publicly touting #India's innovation. SAD!!!

If you feel that the situation in your country is dire, do not dispair. Know that you are not alone, and that these past few years are only a bleep in history. Things will surely get better. Do not give up on your country.

If body building competitions ban the use of performance enhancing drugs, why do beauty pageants allow the use of make-up?

Well, kinda. More importantly, he wanted to acquire an #Africa|n colony just like the 'great European powers' of the time. #ItsTimeForAdwa

I wish to see the day when adequate and nutrituous food is no more a luxury in #Ethiopia.

Rumor has it that code 2 vehicles will not be allowed to fill up starting this week. The blowback from the conflict in the Middle East reverberates across the globe. Perhaps time to start buying petroleum from #Angola.

The Western nations who present themselves as champions of democracy are the same countries who designed, and are fighting to maintain, the undemocractic system of the United Nations.

The #Ethiopia|an Birr is largely worthless. Time to issue larger denominations. Who are we fooling here? The Birr1 can't buy anything; and, no price increases are made in increments of Birr5. Time to make Birrs5, 10 & 50 coins; and issue new Birrs500 & 1000 notes. National Bank of Ethiopia

Whenever a new regime takes power in #Ethiopia, citizens cheer and usher them as change-makers. Inevitably, after a couple of years, the new regime is ativism that rehashes the same authoritarian disposition that disappoints them.

I'm hazarding a guess here ... perhaps, up to three non-PP parties will win seats in the #AddisAbaba city administration council in the upcoming election.

Ethiopians are by in large chill. Precisely why, despite the multitude of crises facing the country, #Ethiopia|ns still persevere.

You are aghast by him likening himself to #Jesus? And, you are just realizing this after 11 years?

I think #Ethiopia is more threatened by የፈረንጅ ሥርዓት ናፋቂ rather than የድሮ ሥርዓት ናፋቂ.
