Have you ever seen any posting from Horus demanding the government improve the supply of fresh drinking water, reliable electricity, or more adequate housing for the majority of the people? Nope. All he cares about is the superficial facelift of the city walkways @ a cost of tens of billions of Birr. Now he is after demolishing existing structure just because he doesn't think it is beautiful for the eye, rather than asking to improve the service it is providing for the poor.

OLF-PP Orommuma thug is simply a kid in a candy store. Thug Abiy Ahmed is throwing cash in the trash. This is a no brainer, a poor country like Ethiopia's priority is to optimally use its meagre resources. Kid Orommuma is either busy for a beauty contsest against TPLF ( to say Orommuma is smart, but it ain't Orommuma that had the idea of light rail) or Orommuma is trying to decorate its future Repblic of Oromia at the expense of other regions - just like he invaded Amhara region under the pretext of being PM of Ethiopia while he truly is not.

absolutely right . inferiority complex and their effort to disprove the perception and rumor about their incapability to rule Ethiopia is the drive behind it. look this Horus guy how he brags ignoring the suffering of hundreds of millions of our people where over 30 million of them are fed by donors, just because his belly is full and probably lives a good life.

Built at cost of 475 million US dollars (With 85% of which was financed by import-export of China (EXIM) Bank and 15% covered by the Ethiopian government.)

35km Length

Transported more than 109 million passengers in the first 41 months since its operation, significantly reducing traffic congestion and pollution

Fares are 6 ETB (about US$0.30) per journey.

If the train line is demolished, the country would be pouring 475 million US dollars down the drain! How many hundreds millions US dollars will it cost to demolish 35km heavy mortar train line???

Can a country that has 20 million people on food aid really spend millions of US dollars to demolish half a billion US dollars valued functioning public service trainline because it looks ugly አስቀያሚ?

How are the 100s of millions of journey currently costing pennies per a trip will be conducted in the new post-light-trains world?

Has the cost / benefit analysis been done for draining half a billion dollars down the drain? What is the benefit, btw?

How many rich western cities have ugly train lines? Why have they kept them for decades? Do they not want to look at shiny lights? I have been to many western cities, and I don't remember seeing a beautiful train line. I thought railways are measured on punctuality, effectiveness and efficiency - not beauty.

A country that produces 11.13 million barrels of petrol per day has just built the region's largest rail network while a country that banned import petrol and diesel cars because importing petrol is expensive is going to dismantle a half a billion U.S Dollar rail network to build a highway for non-existent cars.

Increase %age = 406%!


UK Petrol price April 2018 - £1.2
UK Petrol price April 2024 - £1.3
Increase %age 8%
