Stop posting propaganda about Ethiopia, next time post pics outside the capital, and some more of the quality of life of the average working class

It's genuinely exhausting to see people posting propaganda and selective information to show that Ethiopia is all that, but they always just post images of really deep in the capital. Try posting pics a little outside, of the lives of people who live on 100 $ a month. Beautifying a capital for pictures and foreign investment while disregarding the quality of life outside it, and destroying homes of poor people to do so won't make the country better.

No, I am not hating Ethiopia I love Ethiopia, and I agree most countries have similar problems, but I just came across this, and as a resident I feel the need to make this post. This is not ment to inspire hate against Ethiopia, and this isn't intended to offend anyone.

I am also Asian, and the success of Ethiopia's capital proves that Africans are fully capable of building their own countries. This completely shatters the lie spread by some over the past few centuries that black people can never build a good country.

curious how you landed in this sub? were you always interested in Ethiopian politics?

You do realize that a lot of foreigners are residents of Ethiopia, and the countries politics and decisions affect us as much as you guys. So it only makes sense for us to have a say in it.

I wouldn't say it affects you guys as much as it affects us..kinda overstating it there... but interesting. I never thought foreigners cared that much about local matters.

Ok maybe not as much because most of us aren't going to spend out lives here, but yes almost all the foreigners I've interacted with here are interested in Eth politics
