What is happening in #AddisAbaba#Ethiopia is NOT development. Call it what it is: ethnic gentrification, cultural displacement and a deliberate demographic transformation.
You can NOT bulldoze people out of their homes, erase their neighborhoods, destroy their history and then insult everyone’s intelligence by calling it ‘development’
Development is supposed to improve people’s lives not remove them from the city they built and replace their communities with something else.
This is displacement dressed up as progress and we should not be afraid to call it out.
I can’t imagine what families must be going through because If I were still in Addis Ababa, my family and I would have been displaced too.
The home I was born in is now being turned into a park, and the neighborhood I grew up in is no longer recognizable. Addis Ababa truly used to belong to its residents. Rich or poor, it didn’t matter. Addis was once called “Little Ethiopia” because Ethiopians had access to their own city and a real sense of ownership and belonging.
But as we’ve seen in many colonized countries, major cities often get transformed into “business districts” that become too expensive for locals. In some cases, systems resembling apartheid are created to limit indigenous people’s access to their own land and neighborhoods.
That’s what made Addis different from many other capitals. It was founded by freedom loving people for all Ethiopians and built by their own hands. It used to be our pride.
Sadly, Abiy is now doing what colonizers have done elsewhere. His party is called the “Prosperity Party,” but instead of bringing prosperity to Ethiopians, they are displacing families from their homes and selling property to foreigners. Many of the new buildings are being bought and owned by non Ethiopians mostly Arabs.
Since the majority of Addis Ababa’s residents are Amhara, many historical sites have been destroyed and replaced with new buildings and museums part of a broader effort to erase and “mummify” Amhara identity and Amhara history from Ethiopia, while they quietly prepare for separation.
Addis Ababa used to be a symbol of shared pride. Today, fear is growing where community once existed. Systematically they have turned neighbors into strangers. Without trust, care, or support, many feel completely alone and that loneliness has led to devastating levels of suicide.
Pray for the #Amhara people in #Ethiopia.
End #AmharaGenocide &
The genocidal #WarOnAmhara
