Ethiopia's 'cupcake divide' in Addis Ababa

Ethiopia's 'cupcake divide' in Addis Ababa

By Mary Harper

BBC News, Addis Ababa

Ethiopia is one of the fastest growing non-oil economies in Africa, but while a growing middle class aspire to symbols of modernity - such as cupcakes - for most, this new Africa is not a reflection of real life.

Red Velvet. Caribbean Breeze. Vanilla Fever. Brunette. The choice was overwhelming.

I was standing at the counter of a cafe in Addis Ababa and I was looking at cupcakes. Piled high with icing in unnatural shades of turquoise, lime green and a devastating pink.

The Cupcake Delights Bakery, as it is called, was full.

Smartly dressed Ethiopians sipped tea and nibbled on the colourful cakes.

An Indian woman swept in and placed a large order. Chinese men in business suits asked the waitress to bring them fresh fruit cocktails.

Addis Ababa has become a destination of a new type of Sex tourist. Weyannes do not do any thing about it. They are selling childerens to Arabs and wester phadoxxdohils . What kind of prove do you want. This journalist visited and saw the daily life of addis in his open eyes. The prostitute and beggars and these is a symbol of weyanniesem . The western and arabs phadoxxdohils are now running to Ethiopia to abuse childerens,woman's and young boys. And weyannes are now exporting childerens and women's in mass . This is today's Ethiopia and any one of you who refused to believe what I am saying are nothing but a bunch of GIMMATAMS with no brain or blind to see what is gaining on.
The truth hurt to see and swallow it. I am telling the truth in pure and clean way without any doubt .

"scratch the surface and another world exists" what an expression. I love it. I wish the writer traveled outside Addis. He would have seen the bare bone of that other world without scratching.

Thanks Senait,

It is like the story of the Cuban Revolución.

The reason behind the revolución down there was the cultural denigration causes by tourists from América and beyond. Cuba became destination for gambling, prostitution and drugs in the '40s and '50s during Fulgencio Batista regime before the Castro's revolución ousted him. Whenever you have a flood of tourists, half of them are predators.

mary Harper, what's exactly your point? I don't get it. You said Ethiopia is the fastest growing none oil economy in the world.
Then you end up lamenting, "there are between 85 and 90 million people living in Ethiopia-and most of them cannot even dream of cupcakes, let alone decide which one to choose in that charming cafe I visited in Addis Ababa."
How in the world you conclude an almost metropolitan city life can represent a whole nation life style?
Addis Ababa is a symbol of our country's urbanization, due to the economy growth, in which the booming construction business of bulding skycrappers and roads etc. Attracting the mass exodus of daily laborers from rural areas for the sake of a "better life". You cannot expect an equal share of the "cupcake" in this kind of enviroment. And by no means the city life style cannot represent the more than 80 million Ethiopians living in rural area mostly dependant in Agriculture.
All in all, you gave us a good picture of Addis Ababa's night life, which is normal for any newly growing semi metropolitan city. don't expect us to be perfect or an overnight middle income class society. It never happened even in the developed nations citys, ie London or New York. No "equal share of cupcakes".
But with our govt ambitious goal of eradicating poverty we are on the right path. our Growth and transformation plan is successfuly excuted and working.

Adgi ,you perfectly know what this lady is mentioning about .That between 85 to 90 millions of the peoples ,the majority can not even have the chance to dream of the life of your Agazi Bandits and the Foreign Looters .That means not even 10 000 peoples are owning everything while the peoples are starving . Peoples in Addis are not really dreaming of "Cup Cakes" but how to have the means to eat even once a day .This the result of your so called "..ambitious goal of eradicating poverty we are on the right path. our Growth and transformation plan is successfuly excuted and working.".MORON LEKAMMI KEBT BANDA !!!!!!

The good news is that most of people who don't get the cake are diabetes free and are not obese. This decreases medical costs and save live. Those who are eating more of those stuffs, they will understand or take it some after they learn its merit.

Everywhere we go, there are beggar and prostitutes across the world but the number and its categories varies. Some might be due to lack of opportunities and others wanted it to make their style of life for non-conclusive reasons.

There will be a time when Ethiopian gov't will have social and welfare protection program. There will be a time when more jobs will be created.

Mmmmm I saw this same where in woyani agami ppl comment .think ......../Ayele, it is time golden victory to be celebrated for the next thousand years. We destroyed the shackles of oppression in 17 short years. It is a bitter pill for you to swallow because merely five million people stood up and fought back and won against your mighty army supported by superpowers. Shame is on you, you don't have the guts to do anything when you are f**ked dry. The TPLF victory over evil elite of Amhara is in matched in the history of Ethiopia and no one like you should undermine it. ..... Someone pls go to Zimbabwe ask mengustu about woyani ..he wd say kkkkkk .he see them as lol not to eplf tho...

The article is good and depicts the true nature of Addis and Ethiopia at large, I don't know why some are not happy of this article. He is a talented observer showing the ever increasing development in Addis in an honest way, including the beggar culture and prostitution in Ethiopia.

To me the most interesting of all is the struggle he observed and the transition thereof in between modernity and Ethiopia's traditional cultures and politic, clearly showing the transition going on in the country both in politics and culture.

The article have underpinning hate rage of white man to the ever increasing influence of Asian's in Africa actually that is what he is lamenting about as much as the huge number of poverty in the form of beggars and young prostitutes.

What I found mesmerizing is that since when is that nazi.com and diaspora extremists admitted the ongoing development in Ethiopia, I thought our argument with those parasites were whether development exist or not and that argument took almost nine solid years and all in a sudden now the argument is shifted to the equality of wealth distribution.

I think i need to go back and start digging when that shift occurred and why? I think this is important to know and understand so that in the future we can quickly shut the poisonous mouth of diaspora haters and their evil websites.

LONG LIVE ETHIOPIA AND THE HARD WORKING GOVERNMENT AND PEOPLE!

Well, Pastry business be it cupcakes or any kinds in our lovely Addis Ababa has been awesome since I was born and prior to that to be honest. Though we have many modern, pretty ones nowadays, Addis has always been known for tasty cakes, baklava, Mocha, Late, Macchiato, cookies etc. They even made cool Safis for fara folks in Addis :) I have been to many places that are famous for pastries, I say Addis any time & any day! I may be biased.

That said, these things are simply NOT as affordable as they used to be for the majority! I doubt if the middle class barely afford them these days. Even many years after TPLF came to power, pastries, coffee, Ice creame, soft drinks etc among almost EVERYTHING were DEAD cheap so anybody in Addis could have easily afforded them. I remember our locals, Mini & Saay back then in the 90s up to late 90s sold cakes at dirt cheap and as kids, we did in fact afford to go there as many times as we liked. People even stayed away because parents were against too much sweets for fear of rotten teeth.

Back then, most people went to such places NOT because they were RICH but these things were very easily affordable. Anybody could have afforded to go there. Now? Ha ha ha ha!! I see prices for such simple, basic things like piece of cake, mocha or late etc as comedy in Addis! I simply laugh yet feel so sorry for this new growing kids, generation such as pre & early teens, teenagers in general! Where do the Average Addis teenagers hang out these days? They even got rid of all the green spaces that kids used to ride bikes at, play all kinds of games, just to hang out? What do they do? How do they enjoy being teenagers if they cant just walk into their local pastries & grab something simple, sit there, hang out just be city teens, make noise? Shopping malls are even better comedies in Addis. Everything costs an arm & leg for locals and such businesses are there to cater for foreigners, diaspora, few rich Ethiopians as stated on this article. No middle ground or balance. The kids in Addis are not very lucky generation, I tell ya, even soft drinks are so expensive, things that we saw like water even in late 90s!

Now, I do NOT in any way expect prices to remain unchanged forever but Ethiopia's case is simply unbearable, way too overinflated for 90% of the population as the article says. There is no point saying we have the fastest economy unless GRWOTH is reflected withing society. This is NOT something for GOE supporters to be barking about. The World Bank Boss, the other day told you in black & white why such IMBALANCES exist and why this news is the case. He also outlined many possible solutions for GOE, so it is best to fix the massive failures within the Economy & GOE's VARIOUS systems rather than barking at reality/TRUTH, No?

AP,....

You started really great bringing your own memory in the 90s. But you end up as usual blaming the govt.
Are you becoming like TEDDY the loony? Nooooo, I wouldn't in a million years compare you with TEDDY the coocoo, whose brain is filled with only coconut. I wouldn't even dare to call your name next to his. I beg your pardon.
Let's go to the main issue. You seem to forget how the whole world is under economy crisis. The whole world is suffering in food shortage. Let's try to think outside the box. Don't ever compare things from your own stand point. You may be enjoying a fat sallary, and because of that you may not notice everyday increasing food price in your neigborhood where ever you living. That's why we always blame our govt.
In this case on the above issue, Addis a city of HUSTLING & BUSTLING, is an over-crowded city, which is hosting a population more than it could handle, not alone the never ending exodus of the rural people, who are dreaming a share of the melting pot. Let's be realistic, have we ever seen an equal share of the dough?

""scratch the surface and another world exists".....this is positive for a country like ethiopia, because today at least you have a surface to scratch to see that other world, unlike yesterday where there was only one world which is the poor and the poorer. the challenge is to grow the new riches as well as the middle class while protecting the poor from inflation caused by these two groups.

AZ

My dear, lets not even bicker over this. I am just saying the reason for such extremes (Poverty & Riches) is OBVIOUSLY direct result of Mismanagement, lack of sound economic policies, rules, regulations, which in turn is creating ginormous Micro and Micro economic imbalances. Therefore, GOE is the only ENTITY that can balance things right, fix it. That is all I am saying. Who other than GOE can balance things out? Just think about this? Why aren't almost all Ethiopian citizens beneficiaries of growth?

...Just ask yourself how this massive over inflated prices of bare basics could be tackled, addressed appropriately? AZ, surely, you can not tell me current pricing in Ethiopia is near NORMAL? Who is to fix such madness other than GOE? Be rational, it is OK to criticize the government you know? Very healthy indeed. When they fail over 90% of the people? Be fair minded, you can't be herded blindly like a sheep all the time. You are better than this.

I have to apologize to you Agazit, I was wrong in thinking you to be the looniest here but let me tell you, this fool has you beat by a million mile.. C'est is as ridicules as its name.

- " C'est moi senait [Visitor]
Addis Ababa has become a destination of a new type of Sex tourist... They are selling childerens to Arabs and wester phadoxxdohils .The prostitute and beggars and these is a symbol of weyanniesem..."

1- I would like to know the meaning of "phadoxxdohils" to begin with, as I can not find it in any dictionary. It is a pity that idiots take a legitimate issue and abuse it like you do.
I grew up in Addis and prostitution is not new nor is it a woyane thing. Neither is begging. Arabs, Europeans and others came to Ethiopia before woyane, before the Derg and get to buy pleasure, all kinds... probably you were a pro in assmara, missing on the action in addis, because in Addis and surrounding areas, sex was for sale in broad day light.

- C'est moi senait [Visitor]: This is today's Ethiopia and any one of you who refused to believe what I am saying are nothing but a bunch of GIMMATAMS with no brain or blind to see what is gaining on..."

2- The only one who is at risk of being a "Gemeatam with no brains" here is you because I do not believe you know addis before the woyane. In fact, I doubt that you ever been to Addis. As for selling women and childeren by the Woyane, prove it before the "Gematam" you talk of becomes a permanent shabia stench on you.

- C'est moi senait [Visitor]: The truth hurt to see and swallow it. I am telling the truth in pure and clean way without any doubt..."

C.est, you do not know what truth is and your statement here proves it.

I do not like Tplf/Woyane and I hate Eplf/Shabia more. For a shabia skunk like you to come on here and spread her stench... it is a no no. This goes for all shabia who are confusing the poor province of Eritrea people.

Fact is.. prostitution and human trafficking is as old as sex itself and older than any civilization, it is the open secret that is all over the world. It is not Addis or Assmara that is infected by it. It is a known fact today not only do foreigners, but immigrants who live in the West and have the means, seek to buy sex when they go back to their native nations (in their "what's up" vacations as the joke goes "ene whatsup metu.."), as the regulations are not as strict when it comes to age and sex, alchol etc... This is true to all third world nations and is not a separet woyane issue.

So, giving Tplf/Eprdf leverage by making stupid remarks and baseless accusations as you do, is beyond moronic and leaves whatever opposition on the defensive. If you have nothing better to say.. just shut the hell up.

AP,... You missed my point baby. The above article writer seems trying to stop the wheel of time or steer it backwards. Let's get real. And let me give you a simple analogy. If I told you about the best steak houses in Washington DC, how juicy delicious the steaks are, and come back to tell you the majority of DC residents couldn't afford it, "which is true btw" wouldn't you lough at me? When we talk about a country's economy growth why should it be measured by an urban way of life and luxury items? Rather we need to see the improved infrastructure, the schools, hospitals, etc.. benfiting the mass. It doesn't take a rocket science to see how life is unbalanced back home, especially in big cities like Addis. It is a result of urbanization. If you don't insist that the govt should restrict people's movement, the trend continues. We will see a lot of poor guys roaming city to city in search of a better life becoming a victim of over-crowded city life. This by no means is a result of mismanagment. C'est la vie baby!!

Alem Taye (Kebena),

Well describes and revealed. It is called the modus operandi of the Wolf: penetrate and scatter. Multiply Gedle by many people like him in every city and you get the picture of the peril of the sheepfold. The victims too are to be blamed. Take those who flock to Arabia. If they were true Ethiopians and Christians, going to those countries would be the very last resort. Anyone predisposed to prostitution for example is hard to defend and Amhara women have time to time failed at many things. Controlling business, the media, community centers and church abroad is in the best interest of our northen tribesmen. But in the process they have been abusing the trust that has been preserved between our ancestros.

You said because of urbanization that we see the big difference between poor and rich also poor people flocking to the big city. What do you think these people come to the city for? You think they leave their ancestral land to be homeless in Addis? I don't think so. The reason behind their exodus is poverty and hopelessness. What addis give them is window shopping, there is nothing else. In Ethiopia you got to be woyanne supporter even to eat proper meal, if there is any. Without the inclusion of everyone, Ethiopia won't see day light forever; it is just an illusion to claim Ethiopia's economy is growing.

Dear readers,

Can you please compare the pictures of the people who appeared on the funeral of Melese Zenawi (Ex-dictator) with the people from "LAFTO" whose houses were demolished by city council and appeared on Addis Ababa streets to protest last week ("http://www.ethsat.com")? What these pictures will tell you?

Plain simple, the beneficiary of the current system are the sycophants who support the government; the majority of the people suffer economically as the observer stated. We, all Ethiopian in Diaspora and back home knows that. What a big deal!!!!!!!!!!!!

you people who are against the govt must be living in a different planet, or an out of touch dellusional losers. WUHA BIWOQTTUT ENBOCH!
What do we really mean when we say, our goal is to eradicate poverty for once and for all. Does that sound we are a developed nation? No! That means we have a lot to do on our transition from centuries of backwardness. We have come so far with in this 21 years, after waking up from a 3000 years of sleep. But still the remnants of those backwardness still exist. That includes you and the likes of almaria who are trapped in the past. That includes the millions of uneducated adults left from the past regime in the ages of 40 and above. We need to educate them or atleast introduce them how to survive in this fast transitional period. Don't forget the stigma and traditional hinderance still we must fight.
Developing or building a better Ethiopia is not as a cake walk as you dellusional out of touch people think. You people are like a 5 year old spoiled child who demand to get all kinds of expensive toys regardless of his parents income.
We have a lot to do, that includes, modernizing and building a new infrastructure, like roads, power lines, highways, and hospitals, schools, factories, etc..
In that case we are on the right track. That means the new generation is ready to accept Ethiopia with a better future.

What would you expect with a 35% duty levied on imports? Unknowngly Government is stiffling Economic Growth. Should lower taxes, then we will see more jobs therefore more aggregate income.
Those officials that are chosen for Financial Business posts, should be business men or former business men themselves. Only then they will understand. A PHD will not know anything about the in and outs of Mercato.
Who is the largest employer Government or Private Business?
Only then we will see lower prices comodities, services etc.

My dear, it does not matter which way you slice it, these massive macro and Micro economic imbalances are reflection GOE's POLICY, systems & structural failures. It is direct result ill devised policies, rules & regulations be it economic, social & regional structures or other systems. You don't believe me, go read what the world's top economists are saying? Including the world Bank Chief. Such failures are resulting in such extreme pricing, extreme influx of people from rural areas to cities, extreme poverty of 90% of the population & cupcakes for the rest, as stated on this article, extreme gap between rich & poor etc. Your US analogy is flawed to say the least. Baring in mind there are stake Houses that costs 1000s and NO ordinary people can afford in the US? Yet no situation in the US is the same as Ethiopia. The cause, the effect? Incomparable, really!

I understand where you are coming from, you just want to put so much emphasis on GROWTH but what good is growth if it is not managed intelligently, fairly & properly? No Ethiopian is against growth but policy failures & mismanagement. It is ill devised policies & regulations of GOE that facilitates looters to export tonnes of produces privately to Arabia, Djibouti, western world etc and create shortages, which in turn is exacerbating such extremes, on top of many other factors of course. If I recall, the late Zenawi himself said he is surrounded by thieves? Yes, that is part of the failure. Unable to sort out, clean up his entities that are full of thieves?

Anyway, if you can't diagnose your system's ills right, you are unlikely to find cure/solutions for such mayhem, chaos, destitution. It is up to you dear AZ...Btw, I wasn't even earning money in the 90s, you kiddin? I was a poor elementary & high school student. Yet I did afford cakes very EASILY! at 0.35 cents a piece at Saay, if I recall? As many times a week as I like, in fact? Le Tirse Azgne New Enji Bizum Yalbelahut :):)

Nefsse, Give me a break on that economics 101 thing will ya? There are a lot of perfections envolved if we go by the books. But who in the world is perfect? Give me a single country as an example free of corruption. There are ups and downs and a lot of obstacles. But whether we like it or not, this is the only govt who can take us through. I really believe if we lose this govt, there will be no Ethiopia. Just look at it in perspectives. When you talk about a country's economy growth or failure, think of the variety of glitches which could influence it. It is not about managment of the macro or micro econmoics by itself which does the tricks. Even though the macro economics output is measured by our own GDP, we still aren't imune from the global economic failure. Because that micro economics managment these days only apply with international or the global economic situation. No country is free of the globalized world.
These days look how the whole Europe seem to fail in whatever kind of economic managment they have. Because they're tangled to each other one way or another.
Thanks to our govt, when push comes to shove, they seem to have some kind of bulletproof. We ain't so bad!

Btw, I've to tell you that I own that butter soaked stick which I keep under my pillow. HaHaHaHa! I start loving your jokes. Could it b L?
Fyi, when I was 10 years old around the revolution, a piece of cake was 15 cents.

Dont perish of treatable diseases, suffer from mass illiteration, stand the lowest scale on everything despite wrongs , crises. You compare apples & ambasha as it apears ? The princess is telling facts like facts never been seen in tplf Ethiopia , you must not argue back and forth against butt naked facts. You better stick to jokes. Butter soaked stick had me rolling like fool on that attempted murder page !!!! Seems you ain't the only one in L with this karia princess join the club!!

Btw, Ethiopia copped with the economic crises pretty well, according to World Bank, go check out the reasons why, so we aren't even excusing our madness on the world economic crises.

also, next thing I know, you be telling me cake was free during Minelik II Era & it didn't exist prior to that. That by itself would be another topic altogether. Hahaa!

In any case, we are not even talking corruption specifically, are we? Rather, overall systems, policy failures, causing all sorts of imbalances and that by the way is advance economics not 101. Last I checked, 101 was Demand & supply and other silly stuff. ይሁንለህ እስኪ በቃ ታዲያ ምን ይባላል?

Mrs. Harper is very sarcastic, "Tongue in Cheek" type of journalist.
Those Cyber cadres were elated at the beginning of the article!!!
Her way of captivating us was in a way to pull us to read her article by starting with the "Not-true" sentence, "one of the fastest growing non-oil producing African nation".
Hmm.....
It doesn't get any sarcastic than this!!

Later on, the journalist went on to say that the stark reality is that people are begging on the street when the lucky handful are able to buy "Cupcakes".

The funnier thing is those who are inline at the pastry shop are non other than foreigners. This is the fact only foreigners can afford anything that is for sale in Addis.
*********************************
The great devide is such that foreigners can afford to buy those delicacies while my people are begging for the "crumps" that falls from the cafe tables!!!

lol it seems like those foreigners where enjoying more than just "cub-cakes!"
check out the following excerpts from the same article..

"Yet another bar seemed to cater for large European men, squeezed up against delicate local girls young enough to be their daughters."

"In another, I was confronted almost immediately with a gyrating bottom, as a prostitute swung her assets to a man seemingly more interested in his beer than her backside."

Ethiopians were once called "the blameless race",I think the "shameless race" would probably be more fitting right now.

Sad reality of our nation! I don't blame the poor, naive girls, I have seen them all. I blame the destitution placed upon them to the point of such humiliation, clinging on to Geriatric European men all over Addis's upmarket hangouts! I feel so sad really...

@ AZ

Well, GOE copped pretty well with the crises, because of two things, according to world bank:

1- Ethiopia has quite minimal influence in terms of exports. As you know we only have less than $4 billion annual exports so we are not too big to fall the the bosses!

2 - Again, we export to certain countries that can still more than afford our not so big exports, among few other things of course

So, don't go around thinking we have avoided world economic crises because we have mega brainy economists? That is why I wanted you to go & read it for yourself and understand why we copped pretty well.

As for your last line, ወይይይይይይይ ጉድድድድድድ! comes to mind :)

Comment from: Do Something [Visitor]
I think the government should do something about the chances of underage girls ( or even boys) being prostituted by unscrupulous PIPMS ( not that pimps are scrupulous anyways) and their own parents for easy money or goods.

1. make prostitution of any kind illegal and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law;
2. Make any prostitution of underage persons punishable by mandatory life sentence or in cases of forced prostitution or rape punishable by death
3. have foreigners sign a declaration like we sign ( about communism, bigamy etc) when we came ot the US....but only in Ethio's case a decalaration that they've never been involved or never intend to be involved in sex tourism of underages or pederasty.

4. Monitor children's charities ( esp. boardign ones) run by foreigners. as foreigners exhibit more proclivity towards inappropriate contancts with minors than locals.

5. do a couple public executions of those convicted of sexual acts with children and have exhausted their appeals.


I'm not at all interested in cupcakes. and all the glittery stuff. The more this social upheaval continues the more loopholes or excuses the local radical islamists get to sow more seeds of discord.

Addis girls ( like Amhara Princess) are already fat eating pastry all the time ( hence, the bante in local language: abaye lemen cake aybelum)
now the government will be left with treatign Diabetes and all the ill-health associated with Obesity.

BTW Addis Girls rarely identify themselves with ethnicity...Amhara Princess must be a gerdame ( or Shewaye) who moved to Addis when she was preteen and never had Arada girls as friends while in highschool :-)

I know Addis girls from inside out, if you know what I mean.

Yeah you are right, there is destitution but I think some do it just to get ahead.There are plenty of girls form decent families who run away from there parents to end up being " bar lady". I think we need some discipline,to teach people the value of hard work and not resorting to selling once body when things get tough. Addis Zemen needs to put that butter soaked stick to work and teach this girls some lesson.

You sound so familiar but too cowardly to use your regular user name. Why? I feel so proud that I keep your likes hiding under your mama's skirts on this site? You're too retarded to debate with me, to cowardly to dare confront me with your regular user names here hence the mask.

The problem with you Village idiot folks is that, you have no confidence in your region, in yourselves, in your brains, in your sense of humor, in your comments here etc so you keep changing your cloths (Mask) here like those hookers change their's in Addis!

First of, it is your TPLF government that are PIMPING Ethiopia's precious girls and creating hooker breeding environments? Hello! Not to mention those countless precious Ethiopian girls that they pimp to Gulf states? So the probability of them banning such filthy activity is a million to one!

Secondly, you wouldn't find 1 lbs of unnecessary fat in this Princess so go tell that to you know who. BTW, I personally have AT MOST RESPECT for those Ethiopian females who come to Addis from the country side to earn decent living as house maids than any useless spasticated wannabe "Arada" person like you? You are disrespecting such women and calling them fara but all I can read from your post is ሰማይ እና ምድር የዞረበት ፋራ 100% የአዲስ አበባ ሴቶች ከ ካፕኬክ ጋር ኣብረው ኣዘው ይበሉሃል :)) ሳይበር ኮሚክ

Hey AP and AZ, we know there is growing love between you two. However AP, don't buy into AZ against your own true core beliefs and you don't have to apologize for what you believ and continue criticizing when it is time to criticize. After all it is healthy. Knowing TPLF are from the jungles, they take criticism not to transform themselves for better but go after you. Which is a sign their human evolution gene has not evolved yet and act like animals.

Hagere Ethiopia,

"As for selling women and childeren by the Woyane, prove it before the "Gematam" you talk of becomes a permanent shabia stench on you. " The prove is right for you dear. We never had prior to TPLF the selling of Ethiopain women and children in the past. It is staring at you right into your face dear and you are saying oh no I am blind! No need to prove. You sound like you are the PIMP for TPLF defending them the mass enslavement, prositition and child trafficking of Ethiopains to day as NORMAL and part of history. Shame on you for wishing for Ethiopia that and you call yourself Hagere Ethiopia? You sure love your Ethiopia.

AZ,

pardon for the interruption between you and AP. It sounds like you support this govrnment out of fear. Indeed, I sometimes feel let things explode so that we all learn from our mistakes. However a nation is not something to be fixed especially if disaster strikes. You lose many good people as a result like the evil Derg did to the educated and now today what TPLF is doing to the entire society. However one thing that you fail to mention is that TPLF is torn apart between greed and coexistance and it seems it has chosen the first one. That is why it sets Ethiopian such as you to have fear that if TPLF is gone Ethiopia will be no more just like Sebhat Nega. Indeed you have a point. We can't agitate the sitution when the pro Ethiopia groups have no means of defending the country with unified society and military. If that was the case, TPLF woul have been history by now. So the odds are for TPLF because they are surviving because economics and military. What happens when the mass rises and it turns out it may not be good for them of the policy they set up? They set up such dangerous policy so that the Ethiopian people will lose more because TPLF has divided the nation against one another and agitated so that the extremists rise up and when the time of violence rises, TPLF and its people believe they will bail out. This is the plan. In the mean time, people like you will support them because you are afraid of the time bomb that TPLF hast set up for you. It is better if change is to come you are in control of it but Ethiopians are not this is the danger. It is however important with what you said. Will good change come if we continue with the policy of TPLF? what about you are not guaranteed by TPLF no good chance comes from TPLF? That means all your wait remains in vain. It is true that knowing that Ethiopians are losing in every corner, there is nothing that guarantees them for their success. Perhpas it is better to wait... wait... wait..The hope is some globalization will happen to eject TPLF peacefully and it will be like yesterday that we are still living in coexistance. Remember, when cold war ended, it was bound to happen the ousting of Mengistu as well. So what will happen to TPLF happens only when the world system changes set up by...the world system will either favor Ethiopains or not. But it is better to make your own reality. Imagine you are dying without contributing to anything at least for trying? therefore FEAR is what is doing to us/you that rather we sit and watch for the right time to come. I am not talking about our actions necessarily be aggressive towards TPLF but action to bring Ethiopia's condition in every way is the right move rather than waiting.. waiting. Of course it will be different if you benefit by TPLF system, indeed you will do nothing to change it.

Taxi D,

Indeed if you travel around and those who have fallen under the world's predatory capitalism, and nations who succumbed to this and their foreigners, you will see, that foreigners mostly from the West especially the aged ones you will see with younger ones. This is the reason why rich governmnets impose on other nations who have their culture, traditions and content just living with society and developing at the right rate is not accepted so that more businesses with in those succummbed nations the foreingers take over, destory cultures, promote homosexuality, bring in more organizational beleifs that divide the society suffere such etc. you will see on such nations exactly the same. This is because they can come as they want and live as they want use resource as they want. This is the reason our people are being forced out of Ethiopia to make way for foreingers including Arabs. They know that it is more hard work to disintegrate Ethiopia because of our core beleifes how we were brought up to be proud and have diginity. under TPLF, foreigners have very much succeeded. They corrupted and brainwashed first Tplfites and Shabiy is actually a willing creature, then they transfered it to societies.

You devoted too much time & space warding off jokes about "fat" and jabs at your ethnic identity but said nothing regarding other things I commented about.

Comment from: HagereEthiopia [Visitor]
gudfela,

Since you are answering for the C'est, how about answering this one? "1- I would like to know the meaning of "phadoxxdohils" to begin with, "

This kind of suggests you may be sharing handles with the C'est, whatever the case, it is stupid to accuse, even your enemies, without proof. Again, I am from Addis and I know what the level of prostitution was before woyane and who and what because I used to work in one of the big hotels. I saw first hand what goes on. As for beggars they were all over Addis back then and woyane did not bring them. The numbers may have increased hence the question howcome in a 11.4% growth economy we have so many poor?

Here is what C'est wrote,
- " C'est moi senait [Visitor]
Addis Ababa has become a destination of a new type of Sex tourist... They are selling childerens to Arabs and wester phadoxxdohils .The prostitute and beggars and these is a symbol of weyanniesem..."

And here is your answer representing C'est,
Hagere Ethiopia,

"As for selling women and childeren by the Woyane, prove it before the "Gematam" you talk of becomes a permanent shabia stench on you. " The prove is right for you dear. We never had prior to TPLF the selling of Ethiopain women and children in the past. It is staring at you right into your face dear and you are saying oh no I am blind! No need to prove. You sound like you are the PIMP for TPLF defending them the mass enslavement, prositition and child trafficking of Ethiopains to day as NORMAL and part of history. Shame on you for wishing for Ethiopia that and you call yourself Hagere Ethiopia? You sure love your Ethiopia.

I do not know what the hell you are thinking but, I pimp ONLY for me. I am, if I may say so myself the dude if requested, would have put the poison in Meles's cup. So far as pimping for woyane, moi? Fak you ass wipe. You do not know me like that. You do not know what I stand for and for how long I have stated what Woyane is. But if one wants to tell me the people in power are selling women and children to Arabs or whatnots, one needs to prove it because selling sex of any age was no issue in Addis before Woyane. That's all I said. How do you go to a woyane pimp from that? Like I always say, stupidity is not an excuse, shit head. Know who your talking to first.

On a better note, people.. there is nothing wrong with being fair and giving credit when due, asking to provide proof when what is presented seems out there or unreal, from any side.. only adds credibility to the accuser and the accusation. Otherwise its just lies and we have enough of Tplf for that.

So.. gudfela, nothing personal but know who you talkin' to, really try and be a bit current with stuff and let those who state such outlandish accusations answer for themselves. Stop being a mouth piece.. unless of course you are senait. Ok then..

"This is because they can come as they want and live as they want use resource as they want."

I agree with you to a certain extent, while we need the west's capital and technology, we need to stand to protect our citizens and our culture. It is simple really, we just need laws that criminalizes anything that we find objectionable or that goes against our culture and traditions. you wouldn't find any westerner going to Arab countries to molest young women and men because they would probably hung them in a day light.We should do the same.
