[quote="paidmonk"]Muslim-Man,
Isn't it funny though that both countries are more prosperous and stable than Ethiopia, and on the rise? I think they have the right to feel superior, at least in terms of political health, as opposed to their terminally-ill neighbors to the North and East.[/quote]
sorry i was busy browsing other things on the world wide web.
They are more prosperous that ethio becaus large numbers of the populations of these coutries depend on farming for a living. in kenya for example, 82 % of the population are farmers unlike ethiopia whos dhul is mainly made up of arid and semi arid areas.
a Long while before corruption started taking it's toll on the economy of kenya and uganda, they were about to be classified in the category of second world nations. am talking about the period between after sixties and the middle eigthties.
