Did you know that khat is illegal in northern Ethiopia

[TheLoFather]

The TPLF regime has made the sale and use of Khat in the Tigray region illegal, a felony offense, punishable by up to 5 years in prison, why does the regime continue to tax Khat sold in other parts of Ethiopia, whose proceeds are used for the development of the Tigray region? Do you see the irony here?

The state owned Ethiopian Postal Service (EPS) is going to launch three different kinds of Khat Memorial Stamps valued at 0.45, 0.55 and three birr on September 9, 2008.
Khat is promoted in a central and the rest of the country while it is ristricted in TGray due to its Narcotic containt.
Yes do a favor the rest (the idiots ) and paralize their brain with a khat so they don't have to think like a human, and keep your children of Tigray clean and educated matured, let the rest of the country worship the a drug!!!

"...I got a bill for back taxes amounting to 48 million Birr (1.9 million euros.) But we’ll figure something out. I have good connections with the Prime Minister [Meles Zenawi].”
~~ Ethiopian major Khat dealer, Suhura Ismail Khan

Why cant the Somalis and Oromos see this blatent hypocracy??

Walle respect even thu I hate them with passion they know what's gud for their ppl and are looking after them. There must be some truth to 'short ppl are smart'.

Why use of a "Narcotic/KHAT" is Illegal in Tigray and why it is legal
in the rest of the states?
my answer is so they can create a mentally retarded and paralyzed generation of Oromos, Somalis, Afars,Sidamas who will not able to claim responsibility or accountability of the future of the country.

and the tall ones are idiots, I wonder where that idea came from?

[Samatr]

A long time ago when much of the land was fertile the tall people could see over the grass and see the lions, hyenas and other predators lurking around while the short people could not see what animals lay ahead or around them when the grass was higher than their forehead, but they survived by other means.
I had my father and my uncle tell me two different stories and how they each dealt with shabeelo or some madax kuti creature they were talking about, one of them is short while the other is tall.

[Navy9]

so, do you think the short one of the two was smarter than the other?

[Samatr]

Each one of them encountered the creature and survived differently, the short one played dead when the creature went up to him and he survived.
The tall one survived because he saw the creature from a far as he looked over the tall grass and stayed clear of it's path.
They both survived so lets just say they are both smart.

Your dangerous, I know what you were trying to pull.
my mother warned me about women like you.

[DropkickMurphy]

Ladoon, this is probably propaganda against the region. Do you have a link to the Tigray State regional constitution?

There must be some truth to 'short ppl are smart'.

and the tall ones are idiots, I wonder where that idea came from?

I don't know where it came from but the way I see it I just think short people have a complex due to their height and they generally try harder to be noticed. People interpret this as them being smarter.
