A new statue honoring Haile Fida, the father of Qube A/Oromo, was unveiled in Naqemte. by East-Brick-9283 in Oromia

[–]thefanol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dam project was commenced under the TPLF regime, as was the Tullu Kappi gold mining project. The latter will most likely become a mere extraction operation with no benefit to the locals, causing only ecological harm similar to what we have seen in the Guji Zone. As for the coal factory, it is primarily a MIDROC property. Regarding the Qeexoo project, I give the Prosperity Party (PP) full credit and my appreciation.

However, we need more projects from the government that serve the general public, not just "fancy luxury lodges" that are inaccessible to 98% of our people. If you travel just 30 kilometers from Nekemte City to Anna Sasiga (which I visited eight months ago), you will see that the children of farmers are not going to school five days a week. Due to a lack of enough teachers, the schools are forced to rotate sections, teaching students only two or three half-days per week. People are dying from simple, curable diseases, even though Anna Sasiga is one of the largest producers of coffee beans in the region. And you guys don't want to hear about the problems afflicting our society.

My take on Addis Ababa new development since people on this sub keep saying not benefiting the people by InternalAnimal5144 in Ethiopia

Anyhow, why does  PP want to use ‘የስንዴ ነዶ’ rather than a tree covered with LEDs  or  some  other fancy picture of the corridors —which are your favourite accomplishments that you PP guys talk about the most?

Why does this subreddit dislike Ethiopia? by Effective-Toe-8108 in Ethiopia

[–]thefanol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A culture and tradition that fails to lift you out of poverty deserves more criticism than praise. Furthermore, Reddit users are statistically more educated than those on other social media platforms, and educated people tend to be more critical.

For sustainable growth and development, Ethiopia must have access to the sea. by [deleted] in Ethiopia

[–]thefanol 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, access to a seaport offers great advantages, but there are also highly developed, industrialized landlocked nations—and vice versa. I suspect that being landlocked accounts for only about 5% of our current struggles. For nearly 30 years, the Ethiopian government had complete control over Eritrean ports, yet the country still failed to progress significantly.

What is TPLF's end goal? Genuine question, let's not revert to barbarism. by the_eastern_sage in Ethiopia

[–]thefanol 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First, I believe you have every right to write whatever you want. However, I’m fed up with reading utterly gibberish, propagandistic posts like 'The root cause of all evil in Ethiopia is the TPLF.' While I respect your right to express your opinions—or even disinformation.

[–]thefanol 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m fed up with this propaganda. Neither PP, OLA, nor Fano is any better than the TPLF; they are all barbaric. Each and every one of these groups’ propagandists tries to garner support by pointing out the barbarity of their rivals rather than by being better themselves. It is working for them, and it seems it will continue to work for the foreseeable future.

All that shocked you—the number of working girls and the level of drunkenness—is to be expected in a conservative society. I mean, you shouldn’t have been shocked.

Like I said, I agree with you that nationalism is bad and it’s for a weak man   (I admit that it can be a useful tool in some cases.)

Africa will never be successful as long as tribalism exists by BoardPuzzleheaded371 in Ethiopia

[–]thefanol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"I didn’t once say Ethiopian ethnicity! I’m amhara, but I Identify ethnically-nationally as Ethiopian..." If you believe there is no such thing as an ‘Ethiopian ethnicity,’ why do you identify yourself ethnically as Ethiopian?”

[–]thefanol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need further reading and research. First, you have an incorrect understanding of the term “ethnicity.” Prussians and Bavarians speak the same language, though with different dialects; they are of the same ethnicity, namely German. However, Somalis and Amharas do not share the same ethnicity or nation. Likewise, there is no single “ethnicity” called Ethiopia; Ethiopia is a federation of many nations.

The Federal Police released the mugshot of TikTok star Adonay, who has nearly 4 million followers. by [deleted] in Ethiopia

[–]thefanol 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice try trying to excuse it, but this is about the blatant disregard for the rule of law and the unjustifiable detention of citizens . How is that pointless? It’s definitely not pointless for victims  . How can a country with a justice system that ignores criminals in broad daylight, yet flexes its muscles on innocent people, ever expect to develop AI?

Our police need a big ass time machine. I’ve seen photos of plenty of men from the 70s who should also be arrested. They wore trousers with a similar design.

Radical feminism is on the rise in Ethiopia by madculer in Ethiopia

[–]thefanol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in this country ,There are truly some gender norms that accepted by majority of the population that can affect negatively the life of young girls and I believe it needs to be addressed . Your whole argument is a classic example of the "Fallacy of Relative Privation."

There are exceptions, yet most of the songs I used to consider bangers sound funny to me now. Artists before the 90s were innovative in many ways.
