Ethiopia – Your Pictures

“In pictures” slideshow displays this week’s images from three provincial capital cities. Awasa is the capital city of the Southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR), Bahir Dar is the capital city of the Amhara Regional state while Addis Ababa is the capital city of both the Oromia Regional State and the country in general.

These three urban centers, in addition to Dessie, Mekele and Bishoftu, are some of the main Ethiopian towns with substantial recent development.

MR GETAHUN,

your suggestion that its "all ethiopia" so we should ignore injustice and inequality explains what kind of cunning person you are. but no body is going to fall to your "we are one" propaganda!!!! Oromo people know that amara/tigre are stealing our resources to make their cities rich. we are not blind.
naturally, population number brings more investment and development. american cities like chicago and losangeles have big population than other american cities, hence they are bigger and more developed. but in ethiopia, only 2 requirements count

#1- you have to suck up to the ruling party (tigre) or be them

#2- you have to adopt to the amara/tigre way of living and language

for example, awasa is not amara city because they have sidama and other ethnicities but they adopted amharic as official language. so awassa gets the benefits and it is developing very fast when oromo towns like adama, jimma and nekemte suffer. why?? they have the same population around 160 thousand people. these oromo cities are almost the same population at 160 thousand like awasa, mekele and bahir dar. but oromo cities become destroyed, undeveloped and ugly.

only those with amharic official lingua (like finfinne and awasa) or tigre city (like mekele) are growing and developing in the country.
so don't expect anyone to be tricked by your nonsense.

you have to be naive, stupid or deceitful to think oromo people will keep a blind eye when you rob them.
