Saaxib; Africa has relatively been doing good. Economic growth has been in double digits for the last two decades or so in many countries. Yes, granted some of these growth is not that big in absolute terms but generally the continent has been doing well. Ethiopia in particular has been doing exceptionally well.Estarix wrote:Africa's biggest problems was the lack of modern state geared economic developed and the lack of national conciousness development of any kind pre colonialism. Colonialism is a problem so long as it drew fake lines on a map, but the biggest issue lay in the quality and experience of the people. So in essence most Africans were hundreds of years behind European/Middle Eastern/ East Asian countries. Today in most African countries these problems have been reduced.Ethiopia although has had some level of national conciousness mostly restricted to some of the highlanders; most of Ethiopia was in essence a colony itself under occupation no different from most sub saharan countries sxb. So i dont buy into that. I dont see why Ethiopia should be put on a higher pedestal.

Truth. Thing is, most parts of what is Ethiopia was and is still colonized. Europeans first, now the Amhara/Tigray. Can't believe why it's protected by external forces when any media exposure would make people realize it's basically a effective colonial entity.Estarix wrote:Africa's biggest problems was the lack of modern state geared economic development and the non existant national conciousness of any kind pre colonialism. Colonialism is a problem so long as it drew fake lines on a map and forcefully joined uncivilised tribes together, but the biggest issue lay in the quality and experience of the people (average worker/technocrat) whom define the course of any nation.

So colonialism only applies when white people do it?... i understand your well versed in the history of NFD in Kenya, would you not describe the state of the people there for the past 50 yrs something akin to colonialism. The Somalis and Oromos (basically a plurality of pop of Ethiopia) have been under worse conditions.Lamagoodle wrote:Saaxib; Africa has relatively been doing good.

The problems are huge; we lack institutions , or those that we have are weak. There is also population growth that is not matched by economic growth.
As I said, Ethiopia is the gateway to Africa; it cannot blame colonialism (boy, I can write essays on the impact of colonialism on Africa) and besides why build a big airport when you cannot build and maintain toilets?
Thanks for describing the L.
