Look at this astounding story from Ethiopia

Post by DefendTheTruth » 29 May 2022, 16:07

You may think this is just a fiction. One becomes rich at the speed of light, while the other becomes destitute at the same speed. The only difference is that the former is a new comer to the place where it occured while the latter is in his own home and has been a resident all along.

Is there any more form of injustice anywhere else in this world at this age in time?

Sorry for those of you who don't understand Afan Oromo but the story is one of the top interesting one.



Please note that I am not trying to stear more conflict in the country but if such stories are real in the country, then I am out of words about what else could explain this situation.

The current situation has been in the making, it seems now in hindsight, and we still like to assume that we had just a bad omen.

No, guys!

If you try to be helpful , you could have summarized the issue involved so that those who don't understand Affan Oromo have a general understanding .

አቶ ደመቀ ነው ምስካሪ ምን አቦ ፀሐዬ የስሩትን ስራ ለሀገር ሌሎቹ ጋዜጠኛ ነኝ ባዬች አሜሪካ ለስላሳ አመት ተቀምጠው ምን ለኢትዬዽያ ጠቀሙ መንገድ ስሩ ሆስፒታል ስሩ ከራሳቸው ሆድ በስተቀር።
Please wait, video is loading...

1. what i want to know is when the reporter run away when mother Ethiopia need him and ask refugee in USA and work in parking lot while አቦ ፀሐዬ join the struggle for 17 years ... and win and enter Ethiopia .and start developing Ethiopia let take only two example before TPFL Ethiopia have only one mega cement factory today Ethiopia have 21 cement factory world standard second sugar factory we have 15 under golden while we have only one under Amhara rule .. so አቦ ፀሐዬ build a nation



2. i didn't see any problem with አቦ ፀሐዬ or other building their house and rent out 4 thousand dollar .. for Ethiopians this might look like big money but if u drive taxi in America u can get this money .. 4 thousand is basic salary in most Western country so if አቦ ፀሐዬ goes to America and drive taxi he could have make the same money .. beside the dollar is for us the money enter Ethiopian economy which is good..

3 አቦ ፀሐዬ shopping center 1000 shop keeper rent then they would be benefited why because they don't have 100 million birr to build those building they will be happy to rent form አቦ ፀሐዬ so what is the problem beside jealous

4. now let me ask a questions the reporter said አቦ ፀሐዬ and his buddy fighting over their property .. let assume all TPLF General and high level government count is 30 people and each of them looted 100 million birr that would be 3 billion birr .. now if Ethiopian military budget is 100 billion birr what is 3 billion it is only 0.03% u see instead of spending 100 billion we can avoid by letting TPLF elite have their loot

5. what is the advantage of making tplf royal family rich.. simple we need 1% rich people i give u example haile gebrselassie under Amhara rule he might kept poor but TPLF make him rich .. so for haile gebrselassie becoming rich doesn't harm Ethiopian economy the answer is no why because haile gebrselassie invested in car factory, farm and many other investment and created 100,000 job .. so if u give the TPLF Royal family beside peace u get investment and they create job now someone tell me where is the harm.

6. someone posted about the old DERG time leader interview most of them are poor so what we benefited by making them poor .. if someone have answer pls let me know

5. አቦ ፀሐዬ have the right like anyone in Ethiopia to get free land.. many got free land especially when they build public building ... if አቦ ፀሐዬ got the land for free then he goes to bank and borrow the money against his land and build his shopping center...

Where there is injustice the inevitability of violence (and disturbance of peace) is predetermined.

Look at this video, someone sells a plot of land of around 500 sq. meter for over 40 millions ETH BIRR, in Addis in a broad day light.

The inhabitants of the land were forcefully evicted from the same land before few years, without any sort of compensation, let alone a reasonable amount.

Those people come back to the places and look at what it is worth today and compare their way of life with that of what their land worth is today. You be the judge about the feeling of the affected citizens.

Just remind yourself a 700 sq. meter land in the heart of Addis costs around 95 million ETH BIRR. Do you feel that something must be wrong with that?

If so, then what do you think will going to happen as a consequence?

DDt,

How do u know the inhabitants of the land were forcefully evicted. without any sort of compensation ... do u have any kind of evidence until you brought evidence i will not commitment on this one.

what i heard from the video it is only small size land such as 500sq meter, this land used to be given for free for the diaspora to build house.. under Golden regime... let assume this land belong to truth owner and he want to sale and demand 40 million birr, i will be very happey for the land owner or the house owner to get his 40 million birr now he will go to other less populated area and build his house and wait for the next windfall ... now the government benefit when the house owner get 40 million birr because the government get 14 million birr in taxi, this is the first benefit the second benefit the guy who bought the land will not build just one house he will build ten story apartment to recover his investment ...this is only an example i don't even know 500sq meter is good enough to build apartment but regardless those who buy the land forced to build condominium instead of Vila ... this help for better land management//

second now let assume someone come and buy your house for 100,000 birr at market value and you sold the house for that amount because u thought that is the market price and you got the money and you left. one the money transferred hand you no longer own that house or land the house set on it.. the guy who bought the land from you knows the land price going to skyrocketed and bought you out. then after five years wait the new guy got 40 million birr.. for the same house the land set on it that he bought five years ago .. now where is the mistake where is the unfair

3rd . eminent domain, forget me let my beloved Trump explain about eminent domain


do you know because of eminent domain in Addis Ababa so many road and train line stopped for five or seven years because the community refused to move... so how in hell u going to build a nation without eminent domain ..

4th if u r talking about the afan oromia video , if the land owner kicked out from their land that also under eminent domain they only get replacement land and market value but they can't refused moving or refused to sale the government have a power to take your land even in America if it need it for economy improvement or road and other public interest ... so the oromo farmers have no ground to stand when it come to the law ,,, i know few case where the oromo farmers sold their land and spend the money and comeback to reclaim their land once more the other understood the fact they sold the land and still the house owners allowed them to farm in winter time and stop building their house to allow the farmer to farm without cement dust destroying their wheat or teff. again i want the government to be fair with the oromo farmer and give the replacement land even so they sold their land inside city zone ... this will የኦሮሞ ገበሬዎችን እንባ ያብሳል። ምትክ መሬት ማግኘታቸው አግባብ ነው ። ለምን ቢባል መሬቱን ለመሽጥ የተገደዱት አንድ ስወ መጥቶ አይተው የማያውቁትን ብር ሲያሳያቸው ማንም ያልተማረ ይህንን ስ ህተት ይስራል ። ስለዚህ መንግስት ይህንን አይነት ሽያጭ መክላከል አለበት ። ግበሬው መሬቱን ለመንግስት ከሽጠ መሬት በምትኩ ያገኛል በተጨማሪ የገበያ ዋጋ ያገኛል ። ይህ ብር ደግሞ እርሻውን እንዲያሻሽልበት እንዲጠቀም በቁጠባ ይቀመጥለታል ወዘተ እድገት የመጣውም ለድሀውም ላልተማረውም መሆኑና ስላልተማረ ብቻ እንዳይበዘበዝ መጠበቅ የመንግስት አላፊነት ነው። መንግስት መሬቱን ከገበሬው ገዝቶ ጉታ ገጠም መሬት ሌላ ቦታ ስጥቶዋቸው ፣ ግብርናውንም አዘምኖላቸው ኑሮዋቸውን ማሻሻል ለአገር ይጠቅማልም አብዬት አይቀስቅሱበትም።
