It's true that almost all Gurage towns experienced a huge in-migration of low skilled individuals from all over the former SNNP region. The downside have been too many:
1. crime increase: the Qebena, Hadiya and Mareqo terrorism.organizers, officials within the SNNP region gov have used recruited these job seekers, armed them to kidnap affluent Gurages or their familues for ransom, loot shops, intimidate residents during nights at their homes, and killings of Gurages
2. increased housing shortages
3. increased depletion of hospital resources
4. Much more social problems
You know I will not believe a word of what you say because everything you have said about the Kistane people has been nothing but lies. The readers of this brief story can decide for themselves. Three local rooted people tell us how excited they are because all of these work loving people of Halaba, Kembata, Oromo, Hadiya, probably Yem too are populating the dynamic city of Bui.
Kistane is a people Sera, laws, moral rules, social order. We have no problem of order or crime, period. Our community never tolerates crime leave alone in Bui, Kela, Suten etc not even in Merkato or Addis Ketema.
The peace loving, orderly and work ethic our culture is attracting not only Ethiopian investors , Chinese and others. We get a lot of EU activities in our region. All those who know Ethiopia know us because we are driving dynamics of Addis A beab.
Even better the geography and climate of Kela, Suten, Damu Genet are more desirable location to become significant cities within the next decades. The days Gurages leave their homes seeking opportunity is over. Now 1000s of wealthy Gurages are returning home from all over Ethiopia. For example, our folks from Jigjiga are building a multistory Shopping Center in Bui as we speak. Same with folks from Hawassa.
So, stop spreading lies and fake stories.
