I guess this country is over sexed. Does each Ethiopian woman give birth to half dozen at a time. Seriously, this is alarming. Some kind of strict birth control should be instituted in the rural areas. I don’t mean abstaining from se..x either. Sex is good. Sex education by itself will not work.

Tigrays Population is 8 million now

Can you explain why eritrea population is not growing?

[Dark Energy]

Eritrean population should have been about 15 million right now. The problem is we have unaccountable government led by a single man who decides the fate of the country all by his own. No one knows what the hell he is trying to accomplish. Unfortunately , he has devided Eritreans successfully.

Tigray population is 1 million, you stupid as's

Tigray region which is a collection of many tribes is about 4 million now, not 8 million. They just lost 1.5 million in war. And the living conditions is still horrible in most parts of Tigray

There is not tigray ethnic in Ethiopia. There is only Tigray region. Tigray tribe does not exist.

Ebderta is Amara.

More than Half of Tembien is Amara

Within the next 50 to 100 years, two things could happen. First, Ethiopia will take over Nigeria as the largest nation in Africa. Second, Ethiopian population will swallow the entire Horn of Africa - Eritrea, Eastern Sudan, Eastern South Sudan, Northern Kenya, Somalia and Djibouti. All of these Horn counties already have large populations historically and ethnically related to Ethiopia. As Ethiopia grows both demographically and economically at the current or faster rate population movements in both direction will grow at the same or faster rate due integration and cross migration. National borders will become less and less relevant and perhaps within a 100 years time s super Horn will emerge with a population of 500,000,000 people or more. Too bad we will not be around to witness it.

Eritrea is not a country that can hold 15 million people


Eritrea only has 13,000 square km of land that is arable and liveable while Tigray has 23,000 square km of land that is arable

To have a large population you need fertile land that people can live on. This is where population density comes in. This is why Afar is desolate and has a small population simply humans cannot live in a dry desert




For example 2 zone population of Amhara Region is equal to tigray entire population
North Shewa Zone 3.3M
South Wollo Zone - 4.6M
= 7.9M

Which is equal to the population of tigray

The west was trying to control-our mess of population explosion. Unfortunately funding is no more easy mater. Most recently news from Ethiopia was emerging indicating condom became one invaluable commodity costing 250 birr per piece all because of donor fund interruption. Then came the galluma “good news” the country now produces sniper and bullets instead of bread and condom or contraception. What a farce. The Ethiopian gov used to tax contraceptives.
Now HIV may peak and help to chew away a portion of the population. Another one is war. Based on malthus theory, natural disasters offset population explosion. The eritrean issue is due to war and migration that may cause negative balance to their population. In either case these are projected numbers. When was the last time Ethiopia conducted real census? Population number and control is politically motivated in the Ethinically misgoverned country. ወያኔfor example stole a chunk of Amhara and gurage people number just to render them politically worthless based on number. You may remember the sabbotage by CSA of Ethiopia. Also it was reported Amhara were given more birth control than any other ethnics to reduce their number.
Abiy has opened multiple front war to chop of a chunk of the population.
China followed one child policy to stagnate population explosion that was offsetting the development gains. Now a bit liberalizing.
I don’t think Ethiopian politicians understand population control. Population control and environment management are best policies. Population explosion is not something to be proud about!

There is no such a thing as economical growth in the gala controled country that can't even afford to pay the minimum payment for the money they borrowed. The gala don't even have over half of the country in it's control. What economy are you talking about.

Eritrea can hold more than 15 million people comfortably .

A small coastal country strategically situated along the Red Sea in the Horn of Africa, Eritrea possesses extensive agricultural and mineral resources.

Eritrea population is 5.7m according to Asmara

Eritrea has only 1 coastal town that is Massawa and Massawa population is 20,000 with large amounts of decaying infrastructure from the past a city is defined as a place with 40,000 and more people. Its hot weather also make it diffucult for people to settle on. But in Port Sudan you have a vibrant city with 480,000 people because large amounts of sudanese from the interior migrate....to the coast

Eritreas highlands is home to 70% of its population, Tigre & Tigrinya dominate region 2 and Region 1. Region 1 is 28% of eritrea population, region 2 is 50% of eritrea population. Region 3 is 22%

Population explosion will occur as long as women are not being properly educated and sent to university to join the modern work world. Critical thinking leads to family planning but in Ethiopia there is no family planning there is only religion.

So the church/mosque is the biggest influence in ethiopia and these religions tell their folllowers to be fruitful and multiply. In fact you are not seen as a good christian or muslim if you dont get married and have kids. So the culture in ethiopia is largely influenced by religions.

Only 51% of Ethiopians are literate meaning 49% of the country do not know how to read and write! Which is 66 million people.


The population boom is only possible thanks to the rise of medicine and the lowering of newborn deaths. Back in the good old days most babies would die before reaching 5. Now with medicine more children survive and the mortality rate declines.

Most of the population growth occurs in rural areas meaning the source of employement will be farming, and nomadic work such as sheep herding, goat herding growing corn, teff, extra. 77% of ethiopians live in rural areas and have no need to live the "modern life"

With the ongoing wars in Rural Oromia and Amhara many schools have shutdown. In Amhara region 70% of schools have been closed meaning 5 million students have not been able to attend class due to conflict.

Another issue is 95% failure rate of the Grade 12 exit exam out of 660,000 who took the exam only 20,000 passed and the rest 640,000 will have to retry the exam and likely give up!!! . What will these students do if they are unable to attend university???

This means ethiopia will actually regress and not progress.


The progress is mostly fake, abiys flashly buildings in addis does not mean ethiopia is advancing. Ethiopia is regressing and moving backwards!

Contraception is not the only solution but one. Women empowerment is one. Development is also the best contraception and there are many others but I don’t think the ethnofacists understand them as they want their ethnics grow and grow to excell other ethnics in number to get political favor!

__Population growth is a normal natural process. There is no need to worry about it. The theory of population control is unwise disruption of normal course.
__ Ethiopia's cardinal problem is the absence of "good governance" and the lack of it caused prenial chronic war - imagine the expenditure for war and the loss of productive labor and assets for more than 50 years. Had that been spent on something useful, by now Ethiopia would be like Japan or China. It is futile to want to tame population while spurring economic growth is the most feasible

___ Development is the best contraceptive. And that will happen when once the optimal population size is achieved. Ethiopia has significant carrying capacity. There is no need to worry about it. Population is wealth, power and is an input to production.

___ A very fecund and fertile population means population with better physiological, sexual and reproductive health. Most countries that call themselves advanced are suffering form high level of infertility and are spending high in fertility. Counties with aging or declining population are infecund because with age the quality of [deleted] as well women potential to conception decreases. Example, why do you think Eritrean population is fast declining? It is obvious, Eritrea disproportionately has high volume of aged or doddering population who are at risk for infecundity - a chronic reproductive health issue of countries with aging population. The context in Eritrean population is bizarrely different from those other countries, Eritrea is dirt poor who lost its youth though excessive out migration and war, but those other ones treated children as commodities not as a necessities - they get economically a head although their age counts against their biological potential for reproduction as well as the time required to raise them.

__ Stop using population growth as an excuse or blame it on population. One corrupt Orommuma official may have a stolen net worth of 100 million dollar; add a few more of these. These are the disease. Imagine the number of military tanks destroyed all the way from Addis Ababa to Asmara, convert them to clinics and schools.

I understand what you mean. But population management is a sound science. Don’t see population growth without balanced development as desirable. It is not. Not all reproducing humans are healthy physiologically. To reproduce it just needs seed, womb and food. Humans should be able to curtail their mess.

Odie,

That is true, population is a field of research and science. There are differing perspectives on this: there are those had pessimistic view as Robert Malthus and those other optimist, regarding population as a resource itself. Thus, the issue population is also very political.

Coming back to Ethiopia, I knew Woyane (EPRDF) had population policy. I think Tamirat Layne was the figure on it. That was all about controlling population. That policy main aim was to depopulate Amhara , even if it was not explicitly written on the paper. We all heard about 4 million Amhara were lost, on the CSA census report. If you have heard of this during, the 1984 first ever population census of Ethiopia,(Derg time) , the population of Amhara and Oromo were almost equal, Amhara population was 12,055,250 while Oromo population was 12,387,664. Note: the Amhara population in the north most part was not counted due to security/war. Now, you ca see population is politically manipulated, DDT and Abiy Ahmed claim Oromo is the majority while that is completely false.

In the case of Ethiopia it is a very complicated issue. The country has a long way to go through, especially ethnic genocide and kililization is intense. The most feasible is spurring economic growth.

Even under normal circumstances, it is not feasible because the Ethiopian population is in a state of rapid growth which means the momentum(inertia) to slow down takes decades. Thus, the quickest strategy is developing the economy so that people will make the wisest and rational decision. One of the side effect of contraceptive is also it enhance fertility as well. Given the median age of the population is somehow 19 years or 20 years, these segment of the population are highly active and are in the early stage of family formation, not in their late 50s or 60s of the war torn Eritrea or consumers of the West.

At this time in Ethiopia, I don’t think we can talk about any sound policy of any kind, population control included. Because, there is no capable central gov in the country. Every ethnic ruler is doing what is best for its ethnic. At this point where ethnics are competing to declare who is the highest in number for political control; it is useless to talk about population policy. The country is in disarray as far as governance is concerned-anarchy. That needs solution first!

Noble Agame, et, al are cheering for Amara not being able to give birth due to birth control injection which is same agenda. Census is used for political reason. Migration from outside is used to counter populations that are not needed. Take a look at China and India, they are feared because of their population.

The feeling we have about something is not an evidence of the veracity of that something. What we have is our subjective experience. Now some folks are asserting that Ethiopia is regressing in its development relative to let's say 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago. If these assertion are to have any value, any seriousness, they must be backed by objective facts, statistics, and research. So, folks, can you show us your facts that support your assertions? Is Ethiopia regressing, going backward on those well known measures or parameters of what we call progress or development as compared to our past? Please, please give us the fact and keep your feelings to yourselves. Thank You.

The world is not divided into our feelings and emotions. The world is divided into facts. Reality is made up of facts, not opinions.
