Scenes in Addis Ababa July 1989

[@SF-jc1jl]

Grew up just around the corner from Ras Hotel, where, whoever is shooting this video is apparently standing outside.Thats the year I left Addis for high school abroad.My precious,humble place of birth.A city of poor but dignified, hospitable and God fearing people.

[@zfesseha1918]

I left Addis in 1989 when I was 16. Brings back so many memories. I used to walk by here everyday to school

[@cinnamonstar808]

now it looks like 2077 😎 this is why you should say a prayer of thanks ( for the things you have;) and (the things you do NOT have). BE GRATEFUL FOR BOTH. many of those humble cities of 1989 are ahead of the curve; More green space,🌳🌳🌳 bike lanes 🚴🚴‍♂🚴‍♀ extra wide sidewalks, walkable home/work urban planning, 🚄train : are gifts now given because they did NOT have.

I remember this time I was very young at that time. I come from Asmara my father worked as the business man in Addis. Wuyiyit taxi and Peugeot 404 was my favourite car. The colour of the taxi was Blue at that time; this makes Addis Ababa unique in the world, as most of the world they chose yellow color. So as I’m northern brother from Eritrea I would recommend to the mayor of addis to return back the right color to the taxis which is the obelisk to the city. If you support this idea please give me like. Cheers!

The calm before the storm ... change was on the air. Quite an improvement in 31 years physically, but a damaged spirit of Ethiopianess

[@joelGi]

100% True

[@proudlyo1125]

your ethiopianess is literally amharaness.

[@birhan2006]

@@proudlyo1125 You can't be any more wrong about what you have said. First of all, you are assuming that I'm from the Amhara ethnic group. Take an advice from me, don't assume. Second, what I meant to say in my comment was that since Ethiopia used to be administered based on provinces wherein people can live anywhere they want, without fear, provided they are Ethiopians there was a sense of Ethiopians. That was destroyed with the introduction of ethnic enclaves. So, if you have a tribalism mentality, try to question yourself and change. Ethiopia is big to accommodate all. All that is needed is courage for all to see beyond themselves and see the big picture. Take poverty as an enemy which will continue to worsen as climate changes speed up

[@proudlyo1125]

To be honest with you, it doesn't matter whether you are from the Amhara ethnic group or not. If you have "the empire nostalgia" mentality, then you are definitely an "Amharanized" person. You guys see "the right to self-rule" as a threat to the unity of Ethiopia. But to the contrary, your "empire nostalgia" mentality and a vague vision of "One Ethiopianess" is the one with a huge problem for the security of the country. The cultural and linguistic superiority of a single ethnic group can't be sustainable in a multinational societies like Ethiopia. "Ethiopianism" should not be something that you would have to force it upon everyone......rather it should be desired and loved as a unifying identity with lots of benefits.

[@birhan2006]

@@proudlyo1125 You have a point. But you are stuck in the past. It's been a long time since 1974. Nothing that matters, but I want to remind you that Ethiopia has been led by a non-Amhara since then. The empire has long gone. No system is bad in its entirety, yes there is a nostalgia for a time when ordinary innocent people didn't have to be killed or their property confiscated just because they happened to live in a different Kilil. When you think of Amhara's superiority in a poor country like Ethiopia, think of the poor farmer in remote Gojam village vs. a prosperous Tigrian businessman in Addis or a rich Oromo merchant. The ear of NeFtegna, owning a vast land in the southland by a few Amhara elites has long gone. No question Amhar has dominated the culture and language. That is a result of the propagation of the history of peoples in that part of the world. The question now is, what is what needs to be done forward. You seem to believe self rule is the panacea to your ethnic pride problems. That may not be the case, in most cases, the ruler that you produced within your enclave could be your worst enemy. Just look at Eritrea and learn from others. Even with only 3M to 5M people, there is still ethnic mistrust and grumbling under a brutal dictator. Your counterparts, the Amhara elites have also been showing their true colors of ethnic chauvinism since EPRDF walked into Addis in 1991. Though they marched into the capital deafening a brutal dictator they weren't welcomed and no credit was given to them for all the economic developments and respectability they brought to Ethiopia - besides the ethnic backlash. So, the bottom line is to let go of this ethnic-based mindset and move to bigger thinking. All matters can be settled if approached with an open mind
