Meanwhile in Somalia

You've got to acknowledge brilliance when you see it , even if they are your #1 enemies. Ethiopia's infrastructural development albeit slow and miniscule in comparison to other African nations , is still something deserving of praise and should be an example to us Somalis on how to atleast build a functioning country. They have achieved a lot of things while we Somalis fight over dusty tuulos in the name qabiil and undeserved pride. So Instead of being salty and insulting them , lets use this as motivation and direct our passion and emotions to something more worthwhile and productive.

Meanwhile people are starving in somalia

[XalwaAndChai]

Ethiopia has 94 million people and it's the 2nd most populous African country yet their Gross dom. production is LESS Than Sudan and Kenya

Honestly though, Addis is developing fast, Nairobi has many tall buildings and malls, and Khartoum is building a 700 million dollar airport now along with many highways and metros,

What about Somalia? All we have are bananas and expensive houses with many architectural flaws.

It's all good and all for African standards and I applaud them for it but it will shame and wasted money when in late 2016/early 2017 the 2nd Ethio-Eri War begins and the Eritrean airforce bombs it to smithereens.

Hopefully one day Galkacyo metro will be inaugerated.

by the way Somalia dont need a railway, we have something that habasha dont have, Sea and Ocean

comments like this are why Somalis are stuck in desperation and poverty.
who cares if Ethiopia doesn't have sea.most of the countries in the world and in Africa do not have sea or ocean.ethiopia can use berbera or djbouti.
the lamu port will soon be functional.stop being so bitter and congratulate the Ethiopians on their success. 40% of Somali population uses dhagax and caleen to wipe their dabo and you want to talk about urine.our cities are like slums and miles behind smaller cities than adiss.let us accept reality and start doing things before it is too late.

Nothing left for us Skinnies but to collectively hang our heads in shame..

[GIJaamac]

lol at skinnies who are comparing stable Ethiopia with war-torn Somalia. Isku xishooda. This light rail system was built by Chinese loan which i very much doubt xabashis will be able to pay back. Ethiopia is still one of the most poorest countries in the world with no light at the end of the tunnel. Xamar will easily pass dirty Addis Ababa within 10 years inshAllah.

[barbarossa]

You forgot to mention that we have the highest heads of camels per capita in the world. Top that Amxaaro Qandhiciley!

We got better hilib.#
