This video got lots of views and comments on @X because it dispels the stereotypical image of “shabby” African cities.
Just to be clear: The video is of Addis Abeba, Ethiopia. It’s not Park Avenue, New York or Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, D.C., although I’m certain the leadership that transformed Addis and Ethiopians appreciate the comparison.
The video shows the President of Turkey driven around during his state visit to Ethiopia this week.
Today’s Addis is modern, clean and green (if not more) like other major modern global cities in the U.S., Europe (London, Paris), Middle East (Dubai) and Asia (Singapore, Shanghai, Tokyo).

I’m so proud of እሰራዋለሁ!, my first children’s book. It wasn't easy to find the time and mental space I need to write, and because I self-published it with and for my children.
@SamRosmarin it's just incredible. we should think of a campaign on which institution she should lead next, I heard someone suggesting Gebiwoch. And @MeriPodcast featured her in their last episode.
