why ethiopia never successful

[omar07]

They haven't had civil war. Their country is in better shape than us and still I haven't heard any successful stories within
Ethiopian country. They worse situation than us besides having stable government and running water..
Kenya has the spot light of east Africa whenever there's report from east Africa.
Why this country with long history and more population has never been the key player not only in east africa but majority of black
Africa ?

this explains why they don't want us to have peace. Our country will raise faster than any other nation than Africa.

deep rooted hatred against each other, there is no 'ethiopian' there is the oromo, the amhara, the gurage etc.
lack of education, average ethiopian is a countryside peasant.
brain drain (educated ethiopians emigrate).
overpopulation (nearly 90 million people).
ethiopia-eritrea war damaged the country.
crop failure, usage of outdated agricultural methods.
crappy government/no democracy.

etc etc

Never had a civil war, depends on your definition of who are the ethiopians

the country as whole , I'm not trying to dissect the whole nation into groups

they didn't have civil war for many many years so that means they should be modern nation with everything, clean enviroment
good educations system, modern health care etc etc

as you visit that country is filled with people dying hunger and disease more than any other country

and they are helping us to govern our nation which doesn't make sense

Theres a armed freedom movement in every region, I think that qualifies as a civil war.

I have believed this , but I have been to that country and it's peaceful as where I live now almost...

these freedom movement have no effect on the country's growth, Spain had separatist movement and yet the country
is good as any other European country.

I think there's more to it than civil war.. it's in their DNA to live in hunger and poverty

Actually Ethiopia has the largest economy and is the richest country in east africa. It's just that the government is alot more corrupt.

Awe, I don't think Ethiopia is close to ever being rich
Where did you get the info ?

[VybzKartel]

From what I could tell when I was there I think the reason Ethiopia is a poor country is the people at the top (leadership) does whatever it is in their power to keep the population poor and weak as well as ignorant. I sensed somewhat of a caste system in place there too. There is so much poverty in Ethiopia wallahi and the poorest Somalis (excluding the Karanle Somali Ethiopian beggers) there live better than the average Ethiopia.

[Talo alle udaa]

Have you ask yourself why is Djbouti not a rich country too?

Having a government and stability does not mean you will be rich, or become a 'developed' country with nice roads and big universities. It takes resources, accountability, war and conquest among other things to rise to the top.

[KingMJ]

Ethiopian people have a cowardly mentality. They feel like they will never amount to anything, so they have no drive and ambition. They will never be successful
