Regardless of the debt Ethiopia is in, money the west pored into Ethiopia has helped the country as much as it dunted the country. Which helping was not their intenstion at all!
Like i said before, the west never had plans to give money to Ethiopia, they were forced. They prevented Haile Selassie and Mengistu from borrowing money from the world bank.
Their first choise of cource is not to give but keep ALL Ethiopians poor for the same reason they spend billions in 99℅ of African countries which again is to keep them dependent on aid and loot their resources.
In the Ethiopian case, they gave free money and loans for their geopolitical needs, to loot natural resources and conquer Ethiopia that they were not able to forcefully do so for over 2500 years of continues attempt, particularly the Tewahido and Amara. That is where their focus is on for the case of Ethiopia.
Obviously, the returns for their investment in Ethiopia so far is basically a lose. They did not open the plants to extract the minerals and oil and they did not conquer the Tewahido and Amara which was the recipe to control the whole Ethiopia. They were able to export agricatural products though but the returns were close to nothing.
This is maily due to the existing historical, political and social structure of the people not being fragile pre tplf, making the corruption rate low and preventing mass production and export of the natural resources that we see in other African countries. In addtion, Tplfs were dirt poor vultures who wanted to control and loot the resources for its own use. So the west had to build the infrustuctres on their own and satisfy the tplfs need as well with the hopes of huge returns and qonquring the Tewahido and remove it's influence on the whole Ethiopia in order to prep the corrupted environment to loot and disintegrate Ethiopia at the end!
Their expenses for geopolitical need may so far have been achieved. But the trillions of Birr spent, like described above, is so far a lose! Which is why they were extremely aggressive to bring back Tplf.
So far we got their money and we have benifted. As the Bible says:
የዘንዶውን ጭንቅላት ቀጥቅጬ ለኢትዮጵያዊያኖች እመግባቸዋለሁ!!!
