@magattew You are an idoi#!. Africa& Vietnam are completely different contexts. France literally neo-colonized Francophone Africa well into 2023.Forced 2 use French banks, French companies owned the most Francophone nations& if leaders resisted, France overthrew the gov.

When this mature Acacia tree (Acacia Abyssinica) found itself right in the middle of our planned emergency road, we had a choice to make. We chose preservation.
It’s not normal to see 5+ massacres a year. It’s not normal for those who commit them to be given time to hide, or to go untracked and unpunished.
Never make excuses. Never normalize violence.
The moment you do, you’ll grow numb — right until the violence reaches ur own doorstep
4/4:
So, in the name of God, I ask: let us reject hypocrisy of corrupt Priests, Evils of Politicians&their pet አውሬs. Let us unite—not as Ethiopians, but as Men &Women:based on Principle & Value. Even 10% of us stood together, all of them combined would be powerless before us.
1/4 Today was difficult. I struggled to focus on work after hearing of yet another massacre. 7+ years& counting..more coming.I've lost count. Poor, defenseless women, children, elders—fellow Orthodox faithful—murdered, buctherd, homes&cattle burned,stripped of their livelihoods.
3/4: Those meant to defend the faithful were the priests, yet many have joined the አውሬ: their አዞ እንባ masking the soul the sold for Greed. What remains is us ☦️ BUT we cannot even protect ourselves because we are divided by man-made ideas of Tribes&Class over Faith.
@ZHossana3 Ayeee alemawek!! Our faith speaks volume abt justice on this world not just abt" semaye bet...." menamen. Those who take innocent life deserve justice on earth. Life is a gift from God. Rather than fight for justice..asmeslo saying "justice on heaven" is a sin
I took this screenshot during a capital markets seminar. Honestly, if I ever give a workshop and the audience looks like this, please know I’m doing something wrong. Why don't you guys @CBECapitalSC give workshops to @CMAEthiopia? Their bodylanguage says a lot. It not good
Investing in jobs, infrastructure, health, and education is how we build stability before crises spread.
Proud of the work @WBG_IDA is doing on this.
