The article got it wrong, may be motivated by some ajenda but then failed to substantiate the claim itself made.
Many ordinary Ethiopian see the glass half full, while many "observers" from afar and their associates seem to like the glass half empty and the case of this article is not different.
Case in point:
"“One of the big components for a successful businesses is peace and security,” Bethlehem Tilahun Alemu, the managing director of soleRebels, which makes shoes out of recycled materials, said by phone. “We’re going through a change, and we are going to have to be patient to see the results. It is a very hard time for everybody.”
Another part of the article which shows that future is not so doomed, even after one year since the Noble Prize that was taken as a reference point is reflected in the following:
"Despite the upheaval, the International Monetary Fund forecasts economic growth of 3.2% this year. While down from an annual average of almost 9% over the past decade, Ethiopia is one of few nations still expanding."
It seems that the authors know the murderer of Hacalu Hundessa when they write the following:
"While the motive for his killing remains unclear, the violence that ensued claimed 200 lives and saw towns turned into battle zones in the Oromia region before the security forces arrived".
Many of us don't know yet who the murderer is before going after the motive behind the crime. If we knew for sure, then we can start to stipulate about the motive. That means the authors know already the murderer and they are in the second step of clarifying the crime but then opted not to educate us about what they know. But why?
In another part of the article they also seem to know more than what they are ready to tell us, example:
"Regional leaders are also growing increasingly strident in demanding greater autonomy, desert locust swarms are undermining regional food security, and Egypt and Sudan have taken umbrage at Ethiopia’s plans to fill a massive reservoir on the Blue Nile that threatens their water supply."
Which ones are these regional leaders, for example? Why cut it short?
Should we know their own motive of distorting facts?
