Politics in Ethiopia is bad; Life in Ethiopia is bad; the media is boring .... these are the pains; so what?
Hey guys, experience says politics is not separate from economic and social dev't. You know every party needs the vote every five years.
And it makes promotion of any development effort essential for any party seeking re-election. I agree the way our media works sounds boring- both the electronic and the press.
So long as it helps to hold the incumbent accountable, hearing the plans doesn't hurt. Hearing the criticisms also helps to reinvent the plans when credible criticisms come our way.
The wrong ones we tolerate and work to change as the parties we may loath and the media we may abhor are all ours and representative of our consciousness.
Whenever we feel ears and hands are fewer, I think, the best thing is to involve two more ears in listening and two more hands in the plate shaping the future of our country (at least your ears and mine).
We just can't get frustrated with our institutions and our politics, like it or not these are the tools that shape the future of this country and we have only this country to build into one that we all take pride in.
Of course when you want to fly, to run is frustrating; when you like to run, to walk is loathed; when you like to walk, to crawl is bad; when you like to move despite whatsoever to plod and stagger matters.
I don't mind if you say Ethiopia is creeping and is sluggish, just it is good to help it move a bit faster forward to take it where you wish it to be.
Ethiopia is yours and mine; are we playing our cards to the best of luck and our competence? you and I have duty to answer this question for the sake of our likely purpose-driven-life.
Campaign against wrong doing and criticism could be important; but the most important thing is to act and do what is doable in the context we are in. If the best we can do is to criticize and campaign against, let it be. At least it is better than inaction!
Anyhow let's do what we believe can make us what we want to be. Building Ethiopia is not an option, it is just a choice we make and a commitment we live.
we just can't talk our way out of the problem, we do, build and transform this great people: us. Let's act then. Action counts not hope, not wish, not hate politics ...//

That is great but the hate politics is pulling apart everyone to the extreme that we don't focus on mutual activities and mutual benefits. i think both sides should come the center and that center is what u called building Ethiopia.
