Experience Mulatu Astatke Live in Addis Ababa. I saw Mulatu Astatke live in London 4 years ago, where he was treated like the superstar he is.
Addis, this is your chance to experience the father of Ethiopian Jazz @craftaddis

Turns out the 0 gram shoe is that time Ethiopian runner Abebe Bikila did the 1960 Rome Olympics marathon barefoot and set a world record of 2:15:16 while winning Gold.

He was late addition after another runner got injured and the shoes they gave didn’t fit, so he went shoeless.

I don't miss conferences.
Happy New Week, people.

On some random weekend mornings, we go out to explore this beautiful city.

[Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 @AbiyAhmedAli]

We inaugurated the Addis Sports Park, a 5.7-hectare project that stands as a testament to our promise of urban renewal and the restoration of our citizens' dignity. By honouring 15 of our Olympic gold medallists with dedicated statues at the heart of this facility, we ensure their legacy inspires the next generation of Ethiopian champions. Whether it is the Olympic-standard swimming pool, the professional football, basketball, and tennis courts, or the 800-meter running track, every part of this world-class hub is built to meet international standards.

True development must be centred on the community. This project is about more than elite sports, it provides 105 new commercial shops to empower community members relocated during the development process with a grand plaza for 3,000 people to gather and connect. With two levels of basement parking for 300 vehicles and a seamless connection to our riverside green projects, we are proving that a clean, modern Ethiopia is happening right now. We don’t just envision a better future, we build it!

The longer you work in tech, the stronger the urge to quit and start farming
