Post by Dama » 24 Jan 2026, 13:04

1. South and Central regions of Ethiopia with a population of 18.05 million received Eth$26.9 billion.
Per capita invetment of Eth$1,490.

2.Somali with only a population of 6.5million received Eth$20.6billion.
Per capita investment of Eth$32,000.

3. Tigrey with a population of 6.035million received Eth$12.6billion.
Per capita investment of Eth$2, 088

4. Afar received Eth$6.3billion for a pop of 2.09 million.
Per capita investment of Eth$3,014

5. Sidama received Eth$6.3billion for a pop of 5.302million.
Per capita investment of Eth$1, 622

Lowest per capita federal grants to Gurage and groups in central, south and southwest Ethiopia have been consisten year after year, decade after decade since Abiy Ahmed came to power, if not during the EPRDF. Very real and stark discrimination.
