I'm just not sure that I really have the bandwidth to care anymore. For my entire life, I've been fed the idea that if we provide food, medicine, money, and infrastructure to Africans, then they will eventually find their way out of their miserable situation. But they haven't and in all likelihood, they never will. In fact, everything we do to help them just seems to make it even worse.

No one - absolutely no one - takes pleasure in seeing children starve. But the constant violence and war and killing and raping and starving and poverty and illness...it's just neverending. I'm at the point where I just think we need to let nature take its course and let their population naturally reduce to a level they can independently sustain.

We can't fix these people, and we're going to have to just accept that killing each other is just how they go about their lives.

One of the inflationary consequence of the IMF/Govt policy of freely floating the Birr in 2024. Latest available estimate of the multidimensional poor is about 70%. If you adjust it for such phenomenon it can jump the 80+% mark. Similarly, WB data shows income poverty rate jumping from 33% three to four years back to 43% now using about Birr 81/adult/per day poverty line - a monthly salary of Birr 2500 as poverty line which is shokingly so little. If we double that poverty line to 5000Birr/month/adult, which is nothing in the light of skyrocketing cost of living , which is one of the highest in Africa, the income poverty line also jumps to about the same 80%, which needs an emergency action. Veyy heartbreaking.

Prof Awino Okech argues that political solidarity can be observed, powerful tales of Africa on the global stage.

Our collective weight must be grounded with our greatest asset, our people.

The role of intelligentsia must be observed, leadership and the investments into research and our higher education institutions.

We must invest in our continent, resourcing our agency.

A lot of videos have been circulating on X showing Addis Ababa’s main streets—wider roads, new lighting, cleaner corridors, and polished urban infrastructure that has surprised viewers around the world. And yes, visible work has been done to reshape the city’s image.

But a facelift doesn’t mean everything is okay.

Much of this “beautification” has come at a steep human cost. To carry out these projects, the authorities have displaced hundreds of thousands of residents—people who have lived in Addis Ababa for generations, in some cases since the city’s earliest days. Many were pushed out with inadequate notice, insufficient protections, and compensation that falls far below true market value.

So while it may be easy to praise what Addis looks like on the surface, we can’t ignore what sits behind that image: mass displacement, families made homeless, communities uprooted from central neighborhoods, and serious human-rights concerns tied to how this redevelopment has been enforced.

This isn’t abstract for me. My own family members—who have lived in the heart of the capital for more than a century—had their land taken without fair, market-value compensation.
