Ethiopia is not poor, it just lacks the right management

Onion that costs just under 15 Eth. Birr in the regions costs about 60 Birr in Addis. Why? Who is getting rich here?

People are hungry but still averse against anything else outside of Enjera and Wot. Why?

So many young people with a relatively better education but still there are a lot of arable land that is not cultivated (could be cultivated upto 3 to 4 times a year) and the country has to import food supplies from outside of the country. Why? Why are the young people so averse to farming, a profession that is the backbone of the country itself?

Ethiopia needs all professions but priority should be set and the universities should focus on the priority, our major economic backbone is agriculture and universities should produce a highly qualified agricultural scientis. Why didn't do that so far?

Many similar points can be raised and asked but these points alone should make it clear that we have some more jobs in imporving our management of how resources are developed and utilized.
