You have a visionary leader who is trying to bring Ethiopia and its politics to the 21st century. He has done In few short years what others were not able to do in a lifetime. And all this progress during a chaotic transition period and a planned extreme disorder implemented by woyane.

Congratulations!

Are they the electorate ? I have no idea about the minimum age one should be to vote in Ethiopia .

Sam,

I think that you (and me) should try to find out some of the things that we think could affect the future of our common country and as such should be a concern for us, as citizens.

First the people I saw holding microphones were all well above the age of universal suffrage (I think this is 18 years in almost all countries of the world). Second even if there could be people in the gathering who seem to appear younger than that age, then they couldn't impact the end-result (I said appear because there are many people in Ethiopia who look much younger than they really are).

Ethiopia's challenge is not lack of qualified people to vote, but meeting the needs of those people, in my view.

DTT in US before 1971 an eighteen years old could not vote. I am not sure as you implied in every country where election is held an eighteen years old could vote. I have no knowledge about it, but my gut feeling tells me it is country specific.
