ETHIOPIAN POST

The real problem is sidetracked

The real problem in Ethiopia is sidetracked by the constant talk of politics. When all is said and done, what mattes for an ordinary citizen is not really who resides in the National Palace or the Arat Kilo Palace. It is whether he/she can afford to put food on the table for his/her family.

The sad state of affair is that this paramount, decisive and life-and-death issue is sidetracked by those vocal groups in the government and the opposition. Just do a cursory spot check of how much staple grains are going in Ethiopia. It is mind boggling how expensive they have become.

Governments, even those that espouse market economy, have an indispensable role first in laying the foundation for a favorable economic environment using various tools such as monetary policy and government lead investments and two in seeing to it that prices are not being manipulated by greedy businessmen. In short, government has the solemn duty to look after its people. When it cannot deliver on this important aspect of its duty, it should resign and hand over to another who could do it. It cannot keep on trying until it gets it right. It’s after people lives that are on the line.

The EPRDF led government has not done enough to alleviate the sufferings of the Ethiopian people. Ask ordinary Ethiopians and just listen to their answers. The majority of Ethiopians would tell you I no uncertain terms that their lot has suffered year after year and that they don’t see any hope. Please note that I said ask ordinary Ethiopians. To be sure, there are group of people who benefited immensely by their mere association with the government. Sons and daughters of Ministers and other officials are being sent to abroad for their high school and tertiary educations. The poor Ethiopian people are footing the bill albeit indirectly and without their consent.

  • I rarely create responses, however i did some searching and wound up here
    "The real problem is sidetracked". And I do have some questions for you
    if it's allright. Is it simply me or does it look like a few of these responses look like they are left by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing on additional online sites, I'd
    like to keep up with everything fresh you have to post.
    Could you make a list of the complete urls of your shared
    sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?

    with the layout on your blog. Is this a paid theme or did you customize
    it yourself? Either way keep up the excellent quality writing, it is rare to see a great
