In June 2019 Equal Times described cracked lakeshores and shrinking waters around Ethiopia’s Lake Abijatta, where soda-ash industry and development pressure were changing livelihoods and wildlife habitat.
The essay used the Rift Valley lake as a case study for the social and environmental cost of growth models that treat land and water as inputs first and community commons second.
Kept as politics and environment analysis, the Equal Times report dates a mid-2019 critique of Ethiopian-style development from the Abijatta shore.
