This is what real growth means, i mean the Ethiopian government has the responsibility of preparing different policy packages that will help grow this kinds of local business that can become internationally competitive,avoid all the red tape in government offices that frustrates a kind of strong and hardworking entrepreneurs like Bethlehem, because Ethiopia still have a relatively cheap labour supply ( not necessarily should stay low paid). Many ethiopians in my view confused with the growth that politicians talked about since they rarely encounter ( not part of ) a kind of growth in business enterprise like sole Rebel, for which they are right. Keep going sole Rebel.

Prov.31:10-13,26-31

A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.Her husband has full confidence in her and lacks nothing of value.She brings him good,not harm,all the days of her life.She selects wool and flax and works with eager hands.She speaks with wisdom,and faithful instruction is on her tongue.She watches over the affairs of her household and does not eat the bread of idleness.Her children arise and call her blessed;her husband also,and he praises her:"Many women do noble things,but you surpass them all." Charm is deceptive,and beautiful is fleeting;but a women who fears the Lord is to be praised.Honor her for all that her hands have done,and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

*******************************************************
*******************************************************

She is a strong,classy,resilient, beautiful and independent women.She can be a good example for Agazit Women,Amhara Princess and C'est moi senait,who always try to impress us by their words than by their action.

It never ceases to amaze me no matter how much heavenly the news may be, some of us have just a way to talk pessimism. I really feel bad for those of you who will never be happy about the current Ethiopian Gov't. I personally have some serious questions about our gov't. However, when a successful story like this comes out I applaud not just the person, but the gov't that facilitated to make this happen. This woman did not start her entrepreneurship no where, but in ethiopia. In stead of us talking the talk here, if we work and invest in Ethiopia, we will be walking the talk. I congratulate Beti for her success and for making her country proud all over the world. BTW she is also famous in in US. God bless her and may God continue to bless our country.

This is how look like the New Generation of Ethiopia. Worthless Diasporas including those think have education but ended up in asylum talking nonsense 24/7 on the internet and bars are the worst losses and the biggest obstacles Ethiopia is facing. The good news is that they are not in Ethiopia and they are worthless getting older, stupid and valueless every day.

Individuals like the one having a blog in the name of "Ethiopian review" while doing every possible bad thing against Ethiopia including damaging her image as worst as possible with lies (like the English medias do) together with his teams that are the Tigrigna Eritreans (The name "Banda" is Originally given to them during the Adwa war), is one of the examples how the worthless Diasporas do look like for real.

But the new (EPRDF) generation in Ethiopia has no time to talk but work hard and become the way how this beautiful, smart, confident and hard working lady (Bethlehem) does.
She is doing the best by hiring foreign experts including those from Japan, China and Korea. These people know the tradition and culture of the South East and Far East Asian people that is going to be the future of the international market centre. Japanese, Chinese, Koreans and the likes understand how the Ethiopian people are for real and they do like our culture, custom. Tradition and way of life as we do towards them. These people are not engaging with Ethiopia in a cat and mouse game only through talk while the situation remains the same or gets worse but with hard and good work in the right direction to bring the radical and sustainable change in the country.

Everyone knows 30 years ago China as well as Korea were not better than what is Ethiopia today. They know how to be poor, weak, backward and so on. They also know what kind impact could have some foreigners that are coming in the country in the name of Charity, NGO and so on if they are not controlled and do things what the government wants but instead allowing them to do what they want/like in the country doesn't belong to them. They also know how they defeated poverty, backwardness and all illness they had and became the centre of human development in the 21-century.

We are sure, with these nations friendly approach, Genuine support, co-operation and respect, Ethiopia will need about 15-20 years to reach to the level what Japan, China, Korea and others are today. There is no doubt these nations and others will stand very closely with Ethiopia and will support her with everything they can and Ethiopians are ready and capable of using the best way the opportunities we are getting from these nations.

No Charity, NGO and the likes but trade and co-operation based on respect and understanding is what Ethiopia needs. So, we reject totally the English way of international relation that kept us the way we have been for the last 50+ years and we suffer a lot as a result including they are being the cause of the problem and also engaging with damaging the Ethiopian image as worst as possible with no respect what so ever to the people as if they are the worst racist towards black people. Because they wouldn't/couldn't and don't behave the way they did in 1984 and still are doing against us if we were not Blacks and Ethiopians with ancient history, tradition, culture and so on.

Poor Bethlehem, you are working hard for TPLF voltures. They are against hardworking, talented and good natured Ethiopians, but they tolerated her so far knowing that Beth's hard won money will be theirs eventually. There is nothing more bitter for the Tigre than seeing a successful Ethiopians. It is a curse to be Ethiopians under TPLF. You should better be a Tigre rather than Ethiopian these days.

BrightFuture [Visitor]
This is a good news for all of us, diaspora or not. but you seem particularily angry with the poor diaspora. Unlike you, though, the gov't courts the diaspora for many reasons. Besides, not all diasporas are like what you brand them to be. Most of them are hardworking & law- abiding fellows.

Blindly opposing every initiative undertaken by the gov't ( as some do on this forum) is not healthy and not for good for the countyr to move forward to deal with with its many endevours.

Questioning or (presenting alternative to) the motives of some of the policies & initiatives of our gov't shouldn't be taken as a mortal sin.

Thumbs up for your optimistic views on the future of the country.

I sometimes wonder if some of the individuals with an Ethiopian user names who are shitting here are really Ethiopian. They always sound like unfriendly mad dogs which are lucked in a cage for the safety of the society, but their barking from the well secured cages are so annoying... LOL. Otherwise, who on earth would be negative and mad when his/her follow citizens are showing progress in developing their country....?

Though, Bad for all them haters who are dreaming to hear a bad news about Ethiopia...there will be more an Ethiopian positive news of development in the future. Because, the beautiful nation and nationalities of the Ethiopian people seem to be determined to change their dark history of poverty into bright future of prosperity...

God bless the world..

The regime in power for 21 years is the main obstacle to industrialisation in ethiopia and the main reason of poverty. The list of the harms the regime is doing to ethiopia is very long. You have the ethnic apartheid policy designed to better control ethiopians by the 5% minority ruling ethnic group. You have this preference of ideology and ethnic group to skill and qualification when employing people. You have this forcing of the educated and patriotic ethiopian class to migration due to political repression,corruption and the ethnic ideology of the regime resulting the country ruled by semi-illiterates. And this lack of policy to support local industries,to mention but a few.

Dear Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu,

There was once shoe company called crocs shoes with a every humble beginning, with in ten years they reach billion dollars sale..in 2007 every one talking about this shoe company today they might still sale good number of shoe around 90 country but the people movies on they fashion is replaced by other.

My point is rebel sole flying high right now but it might not last so the question is are u ready... The reason I ask this question is u said sole rebel is ur child and u don't want lose control over by brining partner... U have a point there but ask urself if ur partner help u to sale one billion dollar business then one million dollars business u still come out in the top even if u control 10% of billion dollars company instead of 100% one million dollars company u will end up making 100 million dollars just by bringing partners. U can even hire more worker and pay them more if u are using modern technology. U said the business is ur child just like our same times we have. To late our kids grownup and charter their own root... And marry and leave the comfort of home etc etc

If u don't like above ideas u can even improve on ur shoe making by utilizing local improvement done by our own local people to make traditional cotton woven method improved this alone it will increased the productivity of worker ten times... That means u can still pay them higher wage because they are producing ten times which is everyone want.

When come to the shoe I love the shoe but I can't afforded them the good thing about the sole is billion dollar invested on tires to make the car safe so all u have to do is making winter shoe out of winter goodyear tires

One last point that I try make is u have to diversified ur business so that if one fail one will support u in bad business cycle... I suggests natural product Ethiopia well known for that come to my mind tooth brush stick... That doesn't need tooth past... That means u can Brush ur tooth while u driving or while working on ur computer etc etc... It would be magical tooth brush stick the same people who bought too can buy...while at it sale them organic soap made of ENDOD extract..

The question is how many Ethiopians except those from one particular northern tribe, an EPRDF supporter, foreign investor, Al Amoudi.... can be as successful as Betelehem Alemu and Liya Kebede? The vast majority who oppose the regime have a valid point when they claim fairness and justice do not exist. Even businesses abroad are systematically - directly or indirectly - owned by northerners including Habesha Restaurants. Exports like kolo and berbere are owned either by one of Azeb's numerious tentacles or EFFORT. Ethiopians by and large have been stripped of everything: land, houses, businesses, weapon, cash, jobs, retirement, fuure - everything - cleverly executed over the last 40-years by Eritreans, Tigreans and stupid Dergue surrogates. Therefore, the singular questionable success of Bethelem does not count. Let her family and friends be proud of her. And that is good enough for her.

Hahahahaa! Princess over here is way too smart for you Village folks. You see, that is how I know you ARE NEVER OROMO, as you are totally Oblivious to Oromiffa!! Princess right here is Hararghe Origin all around, born raised in Addis with a family that speak 5 local languages!! Not easily fooled. Retarded Tsila, all I said to you was "...you were a bad actor/Impostor from up North" in Oromiffa. Hahahahaha! Thats all. The worse swearword isn't even fully written & that is Ethiopia's national word & you don't have to be Oromo to recognize it. Other than that, I just called you an ugly donkey (Fokisaa Hare) :)) Now, nothing street about that, is there? Don't you have a donkey sanctuary in Mekelle and a statue for Donkey's? I am sure I've seen it somewhere in Mekelle ...

Oh, my my, why can't you Tsila folks stick to your own identity & leave the rest of Ethiopia the heck alone? You are so desperate to feel you have support from other ethnic groups so here you are! The other day, I exposed the other Welayita Wanna be Tsila aka Ethiofriendly aka Optimistic aka Chefo? Now you, our regular in house A*ame masquerading as "Ye Ambo LiJ" but you can't even read bare BASIC Ormiffa words? Hahahahaha! You thought those were filthy street words, eh? ROFL! You may be thinking Ambo is somewhere in Tigray Province too? Come back as Andom, Yoni etc Retard

I read in the paper on Oct. 26 from addis ababa to New York. I cut out the article and I showed to friends. I congratulate her for hard work. She taught herself shoe making and designing. 50 percent of the material she used is recycled. She cares the environment. She is green entrepreneur. She will open shops in Canada, Austria, Switzerland, and Brooklyn, N.Y. Great Job. Keep Up. I hope the government encourage other local entrepreneur by giving incentives or they should only pay taxes after three years of opening their businesses.

TO @ BOKA !!

Don't expect, If you do you guys are gone sick.i know, every Eritreans know most Ethiopians want to see Eritrea to be a failed State.but it's vice versa we are into nation building,we are not in free market system.don't compare the two nations,let's be real Ethiopia is big country,Eritrea is not, Ethiopia is rich with fertile land with big rivers that floods to neighbor countries,Eritrea is not.Ethiopia is 90 plus millions people,Eritrea is about 4 million people. are you happy now???
But Ethiopia is the one who was asking Donation for relief hunger every other year. if you don't believe me ASK c'moi senait or A.Princess, they have the record OXFAM, NGO.etc it's very shame depending on relief organization. on the contrary we Eritreans we try to feed our selves and our soldiers don't mention feeding war Prisoners.i know T.P.L.F. Soldiers are feed & paid but Americans and E.U.through Somalia war.Do you know WEYANE wanted AL SHEBAB to survived more than SOMALIA or ERITREA? they have the power to eliminate AL SHEBAB in weeks,the check $$$$ is gone stop.Melles Zenawi out smart the west.
at this time we are nation building fixing the infrastructure
ourselves with our money and labour. you know what PRESIDENT ESSAYAS said?..." WE DON'T SELL GOLD TO BUY FOOD" We buy bulldozers tractors Machinery to help ourselves.Unlike you china got the Contrat to build qelebet menged (circle freeway) railroad etc.......
Finally ....i am very happy for BETHELEHEM TILAHUN ALEMU.she is good example for Ethiopians Eritreans and most of all for Africans..
