I am living in Korea, they don’t talk loudly, but they didn’t stay behind the world, instead they have created miracle economy, There are different reason why we stay behind in fact not only Ethiopia, but also Uganda.

Either the research is done in three weeks or three decades, it displays a true character of we Habesha society. The fact the matter that we carry the attitude we are better than anything & everything, doesn’t cut us a loaf of bread. Does the writer generalize some things? Yes he did. However if we truthful to ourselves, we can see it clearly.

I don’t know whatever the hell this guy is talking about …is he saying the restaurants are not clean because they smell bad and he couldn’t eat or is it a moral judgment toward eating cats and dogs…as far as i am concerned no one that’s coming from a culture that lets McDonald’s operate the way they operate should have the guts to talk about other cultures eating habit ..the guys sounds flat out douche bag to me …

At first I was gungho to rip this article apart. Then as I read through the mishmash I saw a person who felt he had thorowlly understood the sychy of the Ethiopian people in three weeks. As much as I am tempted to I will refrain for two reasons. When a person attempts to compare apples to watermelons, he either has a sinister motive or the person is dumb as a door nail. Tim has both. Second reason I will not go through it is, a research of three weeks in to a society as intricate as Ethiopia as foolhardy as one could be. Even then the reasoning is so whacked, some times deliberate and at times totally erroneous, it’s just laughable.
Tim, please you are not good at what you do. You’ll be ignored as you complained because you don’t make sense. You got some facts right but the conclusions you made are laughable.

I don’t know about proms, but the last time I was in Addis it was academy awards season and the who is who of Addis were doing their version of the red carpet at Sheraton Hotel. I guess. going to Hilton or Sheraton to watch Hollywood do its thing on the screen
needs to dress up like hollywood. I thought it was embarassing. But times are changing. There isn’t much we can do about it.

Dear writer, I’m not a writer or a blogger but I’ll try to express what I feel regarding your long blog about Ethiopia. I don’t think that u understood the behavior of Ethiopians correctly but it doesn’t mean that everything we have is right? Since no citizens of any country in the world are the best in all aspects. I’ll try to remind you on some points which I want you to be take it as assignment.

The reason that we don’t talk loudly doesn’t make us to stay behind the world, since it didn’t impact the Far East countries with big economies – except they are still being respected for it; it’s only for the reason that we have a proper ethical guiding when we raise our children.

One more thing regarding the investment regulations; yes it should be limited to foreigners and they should fulfill the requirements in order to benefit the local economy. The small investment should be left for the poor citizens instead of inviting competitors from outside. I’m always glad that the government has prevent this before it created chaos; like what we are seeing these days in west Africa and same shall follow to Uganda. Small investment can be done by citizens with middle/small income – no competitors should be invited for this weak sector. What the economy needs is for big investments that can create jobs and can have a big share in the development of the country.
