Somalia and ethiopia living standards
- Thread starter Midas
- Start date
Ethiopians try to justify their occupation (and treatment) of galbeed by falsely claiming Somalia is much worse and its a terrorist filled anarchic country when that is far from the truth. Puntland alone is richer and better developed than DDS. Somalis in Garowe are enjoying the increased prosperity while Somalis in nearby Dollo zone are stuck in perpetual poverty.

By cost metrics, Ethiopia is more expensive. The prices for cars are ridiculously high.
This car costs 160,000 USD:
That is more than double the price of what it costs in any Western country.
A relatively decent 3-room flat in Addis Ababa costs the same as a western one. When measured proportionally to the earnings of the average Ethiopian, the prices are getting too imbalanced before they reach the mid-range development. Ethiopia is choking its economy by design.

Ethiopia is, to an extent, a city-state. An incredible amount of the government's budget is spent on Addis. It is in some ways Ethiopia's only real city.
The empire, the DERG, the TPLF and now Abiy have invested in Addis Ababa to an extent that is remarkable even by African standards. Addis is not Ethiopia, it is huge outlier that has maybe 5% of Ethiopia's population. What makes Addis absolutely strange is that it contains most of Ethiopia's financial and intellectual power.
The rest of Ethiopia is mostly very poor hinterland.

They are making the same mistake we did when we used to pour everything into xamar, one of the only good things that came out from the civil war was somalis understanding the need to diversify and we have implemented it quite well when you look at cities like garowe,hargeisa, kismayo and more. If ethiopia doesnt stop pouring everything into addis they will have the same outcome as us but on a larger and more devastating scale.
If you want to understand Ethiopia read the following new books:

80% of Addis population live in slums, lacking in running water, no electricity and are essentially open sewages. It has low degree of urbanization as well.
Ethiopian leaders build vanity projects, and buildings for the rich which they show these off to represent the city, there are no affordable housing projects unlike what you see in Somalia and Djibouti . There is no wealth distribution either, Ethiopians don't help eachother out, they don't mind their neighbor starving half to death and living in poor conditions.
Heck i also noticed that the Zero-slum policy in Djibouti is because Ethiopians were moving there and forming slums.
No those are affordable houses and homes funded by Somali banks like Amal and Salaam.
The point to these housing projects is so that the locals can move out of poor living conditions and to combat overcrowding in cities.
This is already happening in Mogadishu as a result of a growing population, displacement and growing middle class

I've never seen anything this bad in Somali territories wallahi. Even the places that are poor are much nicer than this. What is the reason?
I said in another thread part of the reason is access to good building materials and some of the reasons is economic, unequal distribution of wealth.
But most of the reasons are actually linked to culture and their history.
Surprisingly, the likes of Kenya and Ethiopia are very rural countries. Like more than 70% of their population lives in rural areas.
In SSA , the most urbanised countries are those in southern Africa, followed by west Africa.

In 2023, Gabon had the highest urbanization rate in Africa, with over 90 percent of the population living in urban areas.

Why not just keep the jaarso that are willing to stay as somali and send the ones that want to be oromo back to oromiya? Aswell as separate jaarso from dir and make them a standalone clan.
