Ok, there is a new post here which describes the bad living conditions and hardship in Addis city, while we are always bombarded that Addis is getting modernized so much so it even has 13 miles light trains and numerous high rise buildings. And that is not limited only to Addis but in all African countries capitals except in Eritrea. And then while some of the Ethiopians are disgusted by such at the same time they bad mouth Asmara for having some dilapidated buildings. Which country doesn’t have dilapidated building by the way?
Actually one of the responders in the post said what we Eritreans say and are doing in our country.
We believe the capital city is not the residential city to all the population of any country and thus Eritrea been working from rural to urban philosophy and it modernized all our cities, towns and villages by providing those residences water, electricity, schools, clinics and connecting them with roads while not focusing only in Asmara.
And the reason is first to not make Asmara a magnet to all the rural area residents and make Asmara unlivable like Addis and the rest. And second is to make the living conditions between the Asmara residents and our rural population equal in providing amenities.
As we all know as a fact that over 80 % of Ethiopian and the other African countries population lives like animals while a superficial gold is only in the capitals for simple stupid bragging right, while the truth is a witness to the facts of the author and responds to the post I just mentioned above.
In other words the poster stated that Ethiopia needs to develop the rural areas first. But when we the Eritreans are doing just that, you guys get bu’tt hurt and badmouth Eritrea for doing what you want to see in your country.
Asmara was is and will always be the most comfortable city to live in not only in Africa but in the world. And yes we want every Eritrean to experience such comfort in all our regions and that is why we are not focusing only in Asmara.
Asmara can wait to see its minor fixes and touch ups.
Man the truth is that it is disgusting to live in Addis and the rest of the Africa’s capital cities.
I sometimes wonder who lives or works in the 1000ds high rise buildings? Come on now, Addis is not like the American or European cities which has millions of doctors, lawyers, businesses and even worse in the high rise buildings in mekele.
While our agenda is to lower the population of Asmara, and not needing to build stupid high rises buildings.
For hundreds of years, Asmara doesn’t need a building more than 5 or 6 story building neither does it need a light rail trains as a modus of transportation.
