I would have sympathized with these Adwa mafias if it were a misplaced priority between providing clean water to your people or having an election.

You know what, I would have given it a break and ceased singling out Tigray, had the Congolese or Somalis or Nigeriens also shot at me with impunity after engorging too much of that GM wheat.........Any more demands, my friend?Somaliman wrote: ↑25 Aug 2020, 16:16
No need to single out Tigray for such mindset, as it's intrinsic in the whole continent of Africa! The African continent has been begging for so long that its leaders and intellectuals are convinced that Africa cannot exploit her own resources for her own ends, and it has to farm it out to others; at the present time, being the Chinese.
Make no mistake It's not only in Tigray where people seem to be comfortable with handouts! The whole continent has no problem in accepting aid even from its co-residents of the misery avenue of the global village, including India! Africa had to even beg the Chinese to build a new headquarters for the AU, and guess who is paying for its running costs - Brussels!
Tigray is no exception; thus, give it a break! Just a thought!
That's ok. "We're number 1 in Africa" said the Agame wedi komarit. He's right, number 1 refugee producer in Africa. How do you my fellow Eritrean refugees are making a living? Working?Somaliman wrote: ↑25 Aug 2020, 13:21No need to single out Tigray, or Mekelle, when the whole of Africa is a continent of beggars led by mendicant rulers!
No need to show us either a poor woman sitting and begging on the street, or destitute people lacking the means to provide for themselves, when the whole of Africa is sitting at the bottom rung of the human ladder.
Just a thought!

I told him I don't give out cash, but if he needs some food I can buy it for him, and he said just to get him some water. So I bought him a 12 pack of bottled water and a large pizza. When I gave it to him, he said "thanks Wesf'aatam!"![]()

He is definitely Eritrean like me. He thought "wesfa0ttam" was a nice thing to say because he doesn't know Amharic like me. He went straight from Sawa to Shagreb refugee camp in Sudan and didn't get a chance to see Mama Ethiopia.
