ጥቁር ሰው you are a sheep this city has no life any capital the world be it New York London Beijing is crowded with life only city that’s this destitute is Eritrea’s Asmara North Korea’s pyong yang and Cuba’s Havana I thank Meles for what he has done he has taken us from extreme poverty to less an almost middle in come nation One should also disclose that during the reign of derg 3 million people died by famine and 500,000 were killed, you’d be crazy if you said Meles killed that many people, truly a dark tone in our history
Nice to see Biniam Hirut on RUclips too... The younger generation wants to know the true & unbiased history of Ethiopia. We appreciate your contribution. Keep up the good work!
I remember this time I was very young at that time. I come from Asmara my father worked as the business man in Addis. Wuyiyit taxi and Peugeot 404 was my favourite car. The colour of the taxi was Blue at that time; this makes Addis Ababa unique in the world, as most of the world they chose yellow color. So as I’m northern brother from Eritrea I would recommend to the mayor of addis to return back the right color to the taxis which is the obelisk to the city. If you support this idea please give me like. Cheers!
@@proudlyo1125 You can't be any more wrong about what you have said. First of all, you are assuming that I'm from the Amhara ethnic group. Take an advice from me, don't assume. Second, what I meant to say in my comment was that since Ethiopia used to be administered based on provinces wherein people can live anywhere they want, without fear, provided they are Ethiopians there was a sense of Ethiopians. That was destroyed with the introduction of ethnic enclaves. So, if you have a tribalism mentality, try to question yourself and change. Ethiopia is big to accommodate all. All that is needed is courage for all to see beyond themselves and see the big picture. Take poverty as an enemy which will continue to worsen as climate changes speed up
To be honest with you, it doesn't matter whether you are from the Amhara ethnic group or not. If you have "the empire nostalgia" mentality, then you are definitely an "Amharanized" person. You guys see "the right to self-rule" as a threat to the unity of Ethiopia. But to the contrary, your "empire nostalgia" mentality and a vague vision of "One Ethiopianess" is the one with a huge problem for the security of the country. The cultural and linguistic superiority of a single ethnic group can't be sustainable in a multinational societies like Ethiopia. "Ethiopianism" should not be something that you would have to force it upon everyone......rather it should be desired and loved as a unifying identity with lots of benefits.
@@proudlyo1125 You have a point. But you are stuck in the past. It's been a long time since 1974. Nothing that matters, but I want to remind you that Ethiopia has been led by a non-Amhara since then. The empire has long gone. No system is bad in its entirety, yes there is a nostalgia for a time when ordinary innocent people didn't have to be killed or their property confiscated just because they happened to live in a different Kilil. When you think of Amhara's superiority in a poor country like Ethiopia, think of the poor farmer in remote Gojam village vs. a prosperous Tigrian businessman in Addis or a rich Oromo merchant. The ear of NeFtegna, owning a vast land in the southland by a few Amhara elites has long gone. No question Amhar has dominated the culture and language. That is a result of the propagation of the history of peoples in that part of the world. The question now is, what is what needs to be done forward. You seem to believe self rule is the panacea to your ethnic pride problems. That may not be the case, in most cases, the ruler that you produced within your enclave could be your worst enemy. Just look at Eritrea and learn from others. Even with only 3M to 5M people, there is still ethnic mistrust and grumbling under a brutal dictator. Your counterparts, the Amhara elites have also been showing their true colors of ethnic chauvinism since EPRDF walked into Addis in 1991. Though they marched into the capital deafening a brutal dictator they weren't welcomed and no credit was given to them for all the economic developments and respectability they brought to Ethiopia - besides the ethnic backlash. So, the bottom line is to let go of this ethnic-based mindset and move to bigger thinking. All matters can be settled if approached with an open mind

I have been there 3 times. Addis as sure changed. Now its a modern city with high rise building everywhere. Big avenues like Airport Rd and Ring Road. Also now way more cars and people in the streets. You see more overpasses and rendezvous and the metro too. The taxis are still blue and the public buses are still yellow and red.
Gena Gena only thin I feel is the economically dead city by the perils of communism in which h people’s houses were taken by government sobs and daughters were killed and thrown at their mothers doorstep and extreme mismanagement of a famine that made us synonymous with poverty, a famine that killed three million people say what you want about Meles but he was not incompetent like Hailemariam the day he dies will be a happy day
Addis Ababa in 1989 looks so tranquil compared to the Addis of today! Now days there is too much crime in Addis coz the population of the city has exploded and the successive governments have failed in implementing birth control.
Emperor Menelik II You act as though that’s a terrible thing that is happened firstly you have to remember that after the Civil War ended almost 20 to 30,000 people were extrajudicially killed by the Woyane and shabiaAnd not to mention there are more Ethiopians displaced from the country than any time in our history with the inflation rate higher than it was under Mengistu. when Mengistu was in office Ethiopia was recognized as a second world country compared to the rest of Africa.

Couldn’t it all have been more… The roads, emptier and more desolate; the cars, more tattered outdated; the buildings, shabbier; the people more destitute; their faces, more forlorn; the cops more intimidating; the whole aura, more subdued and eerily lifeless. How depressing! To even try to remember how life was then, gives me shivers.
What are u talking about It's a great video and Addis Ababa is so better than this time so green and less populous free of bussy car crouds so chill video i like it!!
You absolutely right, but believe it or not, it was the best Time my life within my own cacoon. Now Addis is very big and very crowded. Big city in general, and third world big city in particular quality of life sucks.
Daniel Belayneh I have a feeling that you have copy pasted that. Someone could say the opposite but I guess it all depends on your personal experience. I suspect that expression, if it is yours, smells like Woyane to me. You could at least account for the different 30 years would bring in a very rapidly changing world. The roads emptier???? It is very well crowded and congested now so enjoy. Have a little decency for a war thorn country, caught up with a highly polarized globe. Anyone who has the slightest understanding of global historical events would not blame African leaders or their efforts in their time, not with the right mind. What they have dealt with is invisible to the average person like you and me.

Anonymous They saved Ethiopia without hurting civilians until Meles died in 2012. It was very safe to go to Ethiopia he let interviewers and tourists into the nation.
Anonymous also, Meles decreases the poverty percentage from 70% in hunger and poverty to a low 30%. Increasing the the nations work force and increasing infrastructure investments that would further improve Ethiopia generally

Couldn’t it all have been more…
The roads, emptier and more desolate; the cars, more tattered outdated; the buildings, shabbier; the people more destitute; their faces, more forlorn; the cops more intimidating; the whole aura, more subdued and eerily lifeless. How depressing! To even try to remember how life was then, gives me shivers.
What are u talking about It's a great video and Addis Ababa is so better than this time so green and less populous free of bussy car crouds so chill video i like it!!
You absolutely right, but believe it or not, it was the best Time my life within my own cacoon. Now Addis is very big and very crowded. Big city in general, and third world big city in particular quality of life sucks.
Daniel Belayneh I have a feeling that you have copy pasted that. Someone could say the opposite but I guess it all depends on your personal experience. I suspect that expression, if it is yours, smells like Woyane to me. You could at least account for the different 30 years would bring in a very rapidly changing world. The roads emptier???? It is very well crowded and congested now so enjoy. Have a little decency for a war thorn country, caught up with a highly polarized globe. Anyone who has the slightest understanding of global historical events would not blame African leaders or their efforts in their time, not with
the right mind. What they have dealt with is invisible to the average person like you and me.
@@SamA-eh8ic Dear Sam, to feel someone "cut and pasted" a comment from another source, one either must have seen the comment somewhere else under a different name; or know them in person; and well enough, to doubt their intention or their proficiency. In our case, I know for sure that you have not or could never have seen my comment anywhere else; and certainly, you don’t know me in person, to hold doubt regarding my intention; never mind my proficiency. Either way, your ‘feeling’ is flatly incorrect. That being as it is; just so you know, I only wrote what I felt after having watched the video and reminisced on the life I lived during those trying times. It is simply a personal reflection. Not that it matters, but trust me, I am not and there is nothing Woyane(ish) in my comment; thus making it either you smelled an odorless compound, or your ‘sense of smell’ is non existent.
:-)
Your sounded particularly dismayed about the ‘emptier roads’ comment; and your reaction to it suggesting for me to enjoy the now crowded streets somehow caught me by surprise. If it’s any ‘decent’ to say, empty roads are the hallmarks of cities like Havana and Pyongyang. I bet the people in those cities (the last bastions of the insane ideology of communism) must be enjoying the hell out of their souls. I should take a lesson from life in those places with ‘clean’ and deserted roads; that may be ‘having an understanding of global events’, after all.
By the way, I didn’t blame anybody for the desolation and destitution I saw on the video (while I also have actually lived in and witnessed it in real time at my young age). But even if I did, it wouldn’t necessarily mean (as you insinuated), lacking “the slightest understanding of global historical events”. What does ‘understanding of global historical events’ mean, anyway? And how is it measured? Would knowing how Woyane ‘smells’ count?

Glad that’s over!! TPLF Has saves Ethiopia!
Anonymous They saved Ethiopia without hurting civilians until Meles died in 2012. It was very safe to go to Ethiopia he let interviewers and tourists into the nation.
Anonymous The only people speaking out against tplf is the Amhara regional government and parts of Oromo government
Anonymous So safe to go to before when Meles was in charge
Anonymous also, Meles decreases the poverty percentage from 70% in hunger and poverty to a low 30%. Increasing the the nations work force and increasing infrastructure investments that would further improve Ethiopia generally
Anonymous What you said about the Shewa region and your whole point is probably progananda.
Nice to see Biniam Hirut on RUclips too...
The younger generation wants to know the true & unbiased history of Ethiopia. We appreciate your contribution. Keep up the good work!
