Recently, especially last week the Amara mass media agency gave brief description about the plan about Wakanda city in Bahrdar city (aroud Tis abay).
According to the mass media agency, a group of business men in the US planned to build a huge mega city in Tis Abay, Bahr Dar with a cost of 26 billion dollar. They planned to obtain more than 70% of the loan from US banks.

But the Amahara mass media agency made effort to check whether this plan is real or not by inquiring the responsible bodies of the region. And the responsible bodies noted that they haven’t still received any kind of proposal on the project.

Ethiopians are divided on this issue. One side of the society is delighted to see this huge project by denouncing any pretext. On the other hand, there are a group of people who see this project as a way of colonialism and anti Ethiopianism culture.

Abaymado,

if this is true, then someone really found the correct medicine against the venomous propganda and unfounded accusation against many hard-working citizens of the country calling them Ye Menelik Sefari (Menelik's Settlers). This is how to hit them hard and bring them to kneel down and beg for mercy. The people will rise up and ask them about why they are pushing the fund that could have developed our city away from it?

I am not jealous about Bahrdar getting developed and modernized, I am glad that part of my country will develop, but in the last over 150 years of Ethiopian history, the major developmental fund was directed mainly (perhaps over-proportionally) towards developing Addis Ababa. Still the lazy among us never tired to accuse those who developped the city as settlers. Today, not only an Amhara, Tigre, kambata, Somali, etc. investor but also even a chinease, a German, an American or anybody else's investor can bring in his/her fund and develop the city and then that person should be also accorded the due respect he/she deserved. But the laziest of lazies among us don't care about this fact and they started to push away the funds which could have flowed in to develop our capital city and modernize it.

They are never tired to accuse King Menelik of colonizing their land and they never told us about where he took the resources they claim were misappropriated from them by the good King.

This is a practical lesson to the lazies among us and go ahead and develop every corner of our country.

I wish you a good luck!

Washington post said about Wakanda city as:
Africa’s real Wakanda and the struggle to stay uncolonized
By Paul Schemm

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — The Marvel Comics movie “Black Panther” has wowed audiences across the United States and around the world, including Africans who have cheered on the African superheroes and their fictional Kingdom of Wakanda.
There is a little something for everyone in Wakanda for Africans. The show’s designers seem to have attempted to incorporate stylistic elements from all over the continent to create the film’s look, as this one impressive Twitter thread has documented.
Ethiopian audiences, in particular, have warmed to the movie, and more than a few have cited their own country as the inspiration for Wakanda, a hidden mountain kingdom in the movie that was the only country in Africa not to be colonized.
Indeed, Ethiopia itself has the distinction of being the sole country on the continent to resist the European scramble for Africa in the late 19th century, when the continent was divided up into colonial possessions.
