Anyway..here are the slums and poverty that the glossy travel magazines hide from people.


Housing considered 'substandard', for lack of services, shotty construction, and crowded conditions, predominates in Addis Ababa and towns throughout Ethiopia. In 1980, over 85% of the population of Addis Ababa lived in slums or 'informal settlements' similar to the famed 'Barrios' squatter settlements in South American cities (Tarver 195). Though wealthier neighborhoods boast European style mansions and public buildings, the majority of Addis Ababa residents erect their own houses with whatever materials are available. Over 80% of homes have wood or mud walls and 93% are sheltered by corrugated iron roofs (Tarver 195). Three percent of houses have thatched roofs (Tarver 195). Only 12% of homes, mostly those of European design have cement or plastic tile floors, while 34% have wood floor boards (Tarver 195). Over 51% of houses in Addis Ababa have only earthen floors (Tarver 195). http://www.macalester.edu/courses/GEOG6 ... using.html






Ethiopian street children



Diarrhea accounts for 48% of all mortalities

3-5% of people in Addis Ababa have flushing toilets

Clean drinking water is scarce.


"Addis has a population of 3 million-plus. The great majority of the population lives in poverty so a few people, a small percentage of this population, can afford to pay for such services." http://www.guardian.co.uk/hearafrica05/ ... 40,00.html





Great photos you posted Nasret..the fact remains however ..Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in the world...so stop being dishonest and selective with pictures..most of them are business districts and wealthy areas hardly representative of the majority of the residents of the capital.
