I didn't know just a random rolling out of the camera captures the life of a city! This is a wonderful video. I have memories of this period and those places. Thanks for sharing.
i think it is very historical and such videos should be promoted to post on youtube especially for young generation like us to know what this country looks like back...

The taxis are still blue and the public buses are still yellow and red. I think minute 12:27, where the portrait of Mengistu is, i think that is Meskel square. That area is so different. You got the museum there ,tall modern buildings, especially that tall one that by meskel square the overpasses,all kinds of stuff that a modern city has. If that is Meskel square; it has changed so much. Now in Addis you see tall rise building, modern buildings everywhere and many are going up as I text this. Also there seems to be way more people now in the streets walking and driving. Bole Airport is modernizing. Addis has metro, it has big road like the West ,for example Ring road and Airport Rd. Highways like Addis-Sidama Express way. It also has rendezvous and overpasses too. They are building a big modern soccer stadium. The city is super big in people and territory. Now there is condomiuns being buit at the outskirts of Addis; where Addis meets Oromo region. In the West of Addis like West of Bole Airport thete are building new real estate passing the Goro area. Goro area is whete the Addis-Adama Express way starts. That highway takes you to Adama. But even pass that,where Goro is,all the way to summit Condominiums the city extends. The city and the country are moving forward that is for sure. May God continue to bless Addis and all of Ethiopia. Once you go to a place like Ethiopia, like me being from the US ,once you go and experience the culture ,there is no going back. These people are good people. These are real people not like in the US. These people really got culture and tradition and values. But make no mistake these people will bravely defend their country and homes.
