This footage exists because Ethiopia stopped paying its loans.

Ethiopia defaulted on its Eurobond in December 2023, missing a $33M coupon and joining Ghana and Zambia on Africa's distressed-debt list. China holds roughly $13.7B of the country's $28B external debt. Beijing suspended Ethiopia's bilateral payments through 2024 instead of collecting. Collecting would have ended the BRI story before the cameras arrived. The video is what the story looks like when nobody pays the loans back.

Per capita, India sits around $2,700 and Ethiopia around $1,100. The income gap is 2.5x. The 24x figure folds in the population gap, 1.4 billion vs 132 million. India funds its infrastructure from a $4 trillion economy and its own tax base. Ethiopia funds it from suspended Chinese repayments, a $3.4B IMF Extended Credit Facility, and a currency that lost 30% the day the IMF made it float.

The corridor in the video has a name: the Corridor Development Project, launched by PM Abiy in December 2022 with a grand palace at its center. The lead contractor is China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation. Amnesty International documented 872 forced evictions from two Addis sub-cities in November 2024 alone. Satellite imagery confirmed 29 hectares of structural clearing in three months. Zero compensation reported by surveyed homeowners. Phase two covers 2,000 hectares. The project is now active in 58 cities. The artist who criticized it, Azeb Worku, was arrested in September 2024.

What you're watching is debt-financed footage that nobody can pay for, filmed on land cleared without compensation, in a country whose central bank holds $2.4B in reserves and runs on an IMF program just to keep the lights on.

The cooperation worked exactly as designed. For one of the parties.

In 1986, the American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross.

In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, a condition caused by high levels of stress.

At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horribly that His face was torn & His beard ripped.

A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels are exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His cross while people mocked & spat on Him.

Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendons in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage...Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours!

The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heart rate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The accumulation of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called a Pericardial effusion & the lungs is called a pleural effusion.

To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific.

This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much that He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine.

Jesus is the LORD, Almighty God, Everlasting Father.

Thank You, Jesus.

@Eyob_Camelo I relate. Sometimes I catch myself thinking of things I condemn others for and it’s awakening. Ultimately, we’re all the same in the core. And I don’t necessarily believe it’s just age but rather life experiences + exposure. Both most likely to come with age though. Happy BD 😅🎉

@SamiShikor That’s literally what you do 💀

[The Patriot @MikeFromTigray]

@SamiShikor I’m surprised Chelsea didn’t sign him yet tbh lol

[The Patriot @MikeFromTigray]

@SamiShikor Kinda, he probably got a better salary and main man promise cause big players left though, and surely some sort of agreement to move next season

I hate how ChatGPT literally contradicts itself and acts like it knows everything..
