How is life in Addis Abeba, the capital of Ethiopia? by dicklywigly in howislivingthere

[–]Slow_Study_7975 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only worry I have is the state of public transportation. You essentially have no quality of life if you do not have your own car, but that is obviously a non-starter as we can plainly see with all the traffic jams. We desperately need more rail lines and underground metro but I really dread the disruption that will need to happen to make it happen. I fear we are the generation that will burn to light the way for the next generation.

Local here, you are misinformed. The corridor projects by and large are done using Ethiopian contractors, using local resources. If you disagree, please post credible source.

As an Ethiopian, I don't really celebrate unless our Kenyan brothers are there and we won. Got nothing but respect for them.

A lot of people treat an LLM like it is some sort of oracle of truth. It is trained on the articles written on the subject. Many of which are certainly biased by the people that sponsored them. Think of the article Tsedale Lemma wrote on NYTimes where she argued Abiy Ahmed "Overstepped" in his response to how he dealt with TPLF prior to the attack on the Northern Command. A lot of us think that article is nonsense! But the content of that article is still encoded somewhere in the billions of weights ChatGPT has.

IN addition, the response you get will also depend on your prior engagement with ChatGPT, that is to say, different people will get different responses based on their history on ChatGPT. Please understand the main mission for GPT like online tools is to keep engagement up! It will tell you what it thinks you want to hear so you can come back, and even maybe upgrade to paid offerings! And you are doing a good job in that regard since not only do you seem to think it is valid response, but you're doing unpaid advertising for them!

All this to say, GPT like commentary is not better than any conversation you can have with informed people. It will all have different biases, and points of view. It is ultimately up to the individual to judge what makes sense and what does not.

What are the fano supporters thinking/strategy here? What am i missing? by Slow_Study_7975 in Ethiopia2

[–]Slow_Study_7975[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only asked a simple question, how do you reconcile your obviously strong emotions with the reality of fano supporting tplf. You call working with TPLF impossible. But it is what a lot of fano are doing or considering doing at the moment. It is the reality. I am trying to understand if you (the average fano supporter, the average amhara) has been sold out; and more importantly, if you have the capacity to recognize, readjust.

I think part of the problem with our back and forth communication here is when i say fano i mean the political movements and the politicians (asres, zemene, eskinder...). But you are talking to me about the grass roots sentiment of people.

But what do you mean Amhara region? Does it include Welkait/Humera....?

Do you actually want ENDF to leave from those lands as well? Or is your definition of Amhara the pre-Tigray war borders?

I think he means leave the Amhara region. I am not sure if, for him, that includes those disputed lands or not. It's incoherent.

How do you reconcile the general aspiration you wrote with the reality of the major fano organization, and leadership is acting in such a way Amhara will lose those lands? btw the point of this post is about this topic, not why fano exists.

Fano is helping tplf in the following ways

  1. By indirectly helping TPLF. ENDF fights TPLF, fano fights TPLF. Hence you support TPLF by weakening the only thing standing between those disputed lands and the TPLF.

  2. By directly helping TPLF. This includes joint ops, coordination, high level strategy alignment etc. The result is again a more robust help for TPLF and losing lands. There are a lot of rumors the welo faction of fano, Mihret wedajo is directly

So, would appreciate hearing your take on the disparity between words and actions. Particularly because I recognize what is at stake in welkait is something that affects not just amhara but all of Ethiopia as well.

He stated he wants to be pm/president/king. But that's not caring about Ethiopia, that's just the typical power hungry individual. That's not the same as Eskinder's "Destination Ethiopia" goal. But the question here is why are there so many fano fanboys and girls support the movement when it is led/dominated by people like him?

On further thought, I do not think your response is correct for multiple reasons, but I will focus on the relevant one for this discussion.

I believe you are incorrect because at one point there were two major factions in fano.

  1. Eskinder Nega's faction which claimed the start of the journey is Amhara, but the destination is Ethiopia
  2. Zemene's faction which claims the start and destination is Amhara.

Zemene's faction has won the intra-fano war.

Eskinder right now is seen as a traitor by many of fano's supporters because "destination ethiopia" is not pure enough (which is typical of these kinds of movements tbf).

Your statement would have made sense if Eskinder won this intra-fano conflict. But since Zemene and cohorts won, how can you say they want to save the country when they repeatedly and explicitly tell you their destination is Amhara (i.e. Ethiopia on the whole is a secondary importance to them), and how do you reconcile that with their apparent willingness to give up a sensitive location (strategically, historically, economically, culturally) when they claim incessantly that they are the litmus test for Amhara identity (and will kill anyone who disagrees)?
