I am not able to open tiktok and don’t intend to sign up!
Rich Gurages these days are building exotic houses in country side and changing it to rural towns. Traditional houses are changed to stone and corrugated iron/tin houses. Even the ጀፎር has lost its natural beauty since gravel road and PP mango/avocado made it there. In ten to 20 years, most Grage will lose its natural identity in favor of urbanization.
That's fine. Lots of trash on tiktok, but you can go over past them.
This house is, youre right, a stone house but with grass roof. The usual sky high roof. Needs to be short roof to save labor and material. Also easier reach during maintenance.
The song is about Qosye town...FB bloggers reported the town is overrun by Hadya terrorists. Terrorized the residents. Kilked people. Burnt homes and schools. Burnt land deeds stored in the Wereda office for ownership of houses.
Rich Hadyas from SA and Hosan rolled in, built 2500 villas. Replaced evicted Gurages by Hadyas to claim Qosye is Hadya majority. You can see them by Google Earth. All this with the complete permission of Erstu Yirdaw and Jemal Mohamned, former Gurage Zone ruler, a Qebena, complicit Qebena viollence in Welkite.
I posted a link full report about all this.
