Most of us aren't happy about the fact that, as a nation, we are listed at the bottom in most statistical tables (education, economic development, per capita income blah blah blah).
It is very easy (and is most often done) to point fingers at who is responsible for this. The question is, has that helped us to change our situation? Not yet (at least)! It is "human nature" to be defensive when accused even if there was one group responsible for every problem in Ethiopia. Hence changing that group is not possible from outside just by listing its ill doings.
There must be a totally new perspective to look at our situation and help us change our social, political and economic reality that we are in currently.
What is that new perspective that will help us change totally and from with in? I will not tell you my thoughts on this because I want to hear from you, the reader, first. I refuse to believe that there aren't a few Ethiopians from the 80+ million who can come up with a new and novel idea for total change in Ethiopia.

Thanks Anon. (You can use the name "Yichalal" next time :);I am kind enough to give it to you since you like it :)).
ReplyDeleteYou are right, we need to engage a lot of people to talk. I will definitely want to use the sites you recommended in that regard.
In addition, I want to be able to do some other things that I will not be able to on those sites such as create a network of people interested in this topic, keep them coming here regularly to talk and inspire each other even through video messages (see on the left now) and so forth.
In general, I wish this blog would be a place where people can come and air their novel ideas and thereby connect with others.
What do you think? Why don't you be the first to leave a video comment about the issue? I also want to make a few people co-bloggers if you are interested (of course I will keep you on a tight leash as the admin :))
Thank you for your time and keep talking!
