A large-scale project is underway to treat the most polluted rivers in the ECA and Bambis areas.
Seeing our rivers polluted to this level shows how we are, in a sense, burying ourselves. I remember during the Derg era, the rivers were very clean, and many youths would go swimming on weekends. Now, the smell alone keeps you far away. The river quality began to deteriorate during the EPRDF era. Cleaning the water is a priority.

Aby Ahmed trying to get tourism income by turning organic Addis into artificial, shiny, Las Vegas type city instead of protecting the environment that draws tourism, like the rivers, wild animals, Awash River , lake Tana, etc were very beautiful areas prior to Tplf rule. Of course, Tplf have always told Ethiopians they are enemies of Ethiopia. No body stopped them, they deliberately polluted Tana lake with aggressive algae, dried out and contaminated Awash, all the birds and wild animals were sold, so on.
