As part of Ethiopia’s plan to liberalise its economy and boost investment, it is set to open up sectors that were once reserved for domestic investors. The new regulation is an extension of the country’s new investment proclamation, which came into effect earlier this year that gives equal playing field to Ethiopian-born foreign nationals and foreign investors.
“[There are] more opportunities for us as the economy opens up to invest our resources in our birth country, says Addis Alemayehu, an Ethiopian-born Canadian investor engaged in IT and one of the leading Communications firms in the country.
While Ethiopia had encouraged the diaspora to invest in the nation, its relationship quickly soured following questions of human rights and democracy from activists based in western nations.
“We were even banned to sell our own shares in commercial banks when the government abruptly cancelled our rights to do so and we are now back to having been granted rights to own and sell and buy shares in banks” says Bethlehem Seifu, an owner of a digital company engaged in e-commerce.
Diaspora contribution
In the last two years since Abiy Ahmed became Prime Minister, the contribution via the diaspora in Ethiopia’s economy has shown a significant growth. Two commercial banks with an aggregate capital of $400m are under formation by Ethiopian-born foreign nationals living abroad.
Annual remittance inflow also averaged $5.5bn over the last years; a significant growth from the $4bn average registered over five years before 2018.
That is the right thing to do. There is substantial capital that has been accumulated over the years in the hands of the Diaspora. Lets go!!!!
It should be noted that calling Falashas “Budda” is made a hate speech crime in Ethiopia since the word “Budda” is nothing but a myth created to demoralize the Falashas. There is no such race or identity called Buda in Ethiopia or in Israel. There is no such group of people that got special power causing pain on others by only using their eyes to stare at their victims who they harm. There is no such people who got “Budda eyes” as legend in Ethiopia says “there are people who eat other people by just using their eyes”. This legend was done to stop Oromuma from immersing Falashas.
No scientific proof exists supporting that the majority of the Ethiopian Jews are Buddas as Emperor Yohannes created this uncolabarated myth to scare off Oromos and other kushitic people in Ethiopia from being within a sight of the Ethiopian jews . No proof is documented yet in Israel about these “Budda” people the Tigray/Amara emperors kept talking about in a demeaning way . There are no Falasha Ethiopian jews people on earth be it in Israel or be it in Ethiopia who got special mental abilities which they use to cause sickness and death on others by just staring at their victims.
Let’s tell our children the truth about the reasons why the Amara Tigray emperrors alienated those Israel jews living in Ethiopia from the Ethiopian society by calling them Buddas who engage in attacking people causing sickness and death by just staring at their victims.
Some of the major reasons are:
1. it is so the past emperors enslave the Jews as their personal machete makers.
2. It is so muslim Ethiopians don’t preach religion to immers the Falasha Jews in person.
3. It is so Oromos get scared of people who migrated from northern part of Ethiopia towards the Oromo’s lands.
4. It is to exert the Orthodox hegemony over Ethiopians.

It is ridiculous to say that the people of the Tigray region have denied the recognition of the government formed by the people, and that I am meeting with the woreda and kebele. Like it or not, the TPLF has been elected by more than 98% of the people of Tigray. For that matter, when the TPLF is called the Hyena of the Day; At a time when the TPLF was called a thug group, and when the TPLF was said to have plundered the country and hid in Mekelle, the people of Tigray came out in droves and the TPLF was shocked. Now, insulting the TPLF means insulting the people of Tigray, and insulting the people of Tigray means I know you. That is why we say that the Abyssinian government is a dependent system that seeks to restore a dictatorship that claims to know you.
People of Tigray: My government is not a government that does not respect my choice. He says the force that I have chosen is unconstitutional and anti-“right to self-determination” and that there is no need to fight like the Derg.
As you know, the term of the Ethiopian House of Representatives and the House of Federation expires on September 25, 2013. They are the former councils. These councils are currently in the process of handing over their powers to the arbitral tribunal, but they cannot pass any law affecting the regions, the people, or the citizens, nor can they use government funds or property. Therefore, the current houses of the Federation and the House of Representatives are illegal.
Today’s so-called House of Federation decision, September 25, 2013. If he decides to do so, The decision was considered a declaration of war in the Tigray region. The reason is that there is no budget that prevents the federal government from giving if it wants to. The budget of the federal government is collected from the states, borrowed and provided in the name of the Ethiopian people, not the wealth created by the government. According to the constitution, the government’s domestic revenue is divided into three parts: federal revenue, state revenue, and joint (federal and state) revenue. State revenue is collected by the state itself and used for its own benefit; Federal revenue and common revenue are collected and shared equally by the federal government. Federal revenue is collected by the federal government itself and used for federal government projects and state subsidies. This is clearly stated in our collective treaty or in our constitution. This Agreement is not intended to be amended or violated. No body can decide on a constitutional decision without the participation of a state.

The only option now is for this illegitimate government to step down and hand over power to the caretaker government and for the trustee government to hold free, democratic and credible elections in a short period of time. If not, Once again, the security forces responsible for upholding the constitution should be given the opportunity to overthrow the illegitimate body and form a caretaker government. Otherwise, everyone will take his own action, The Tigray region is in the hands of self-defense and self-determination. If this illegal force is in power, the current peace and stability situation in our country will worsen and Ethiopia may be destined for Somalia. Before this happens, our defense forces, which are responsible for protecting the country and the constitution in accordance with the constitution, will be required to immediately remove this illegal force and save Ethiopia. So, before the hemorrhage is triggered, the rope that he put on his neck, the rope that pulls the rope out of his neck, and if he doesn’t let go of the chair, let him hang himself from the chair and hang himself there.

Dinqu Deyas,
I don’t usually respond to detractirs but here is one for you. Yes I have and I will. But there is one trip I will never make. A trip to Al-Qahirah. Or even to Riyadh for that matter. How was the halawa there? They make one of the best too. From el-Sisi personally baked? It is even more scrumptious!!! Don’t they? Would you tell el-Sisi this from me? na na na nannahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! I know you gonna tell him about the 2nd filling of the dam coming soon. Two turbines have started running and generating power now and there will 2, 3, 4 or even 5 more turbines generating power to a theater near you. That means more power available for new factories. Let’s go!!! Not you, everyone else! The pie is baked, glazed and ready to slice for every patriot, not for connivers and bigots! Tell el-Sisi I tell him ‘eat your heart out!’.

Why don’t you go to Saudi ? Who is going to save the immigrants detained in Saudi detention centers? The embassy? The Saudis ? Who?
If you and your honkie investor partners paid these young Ethiopians a fair wage in their country in the first place they wouldn’t have risked their lives through dangerous journeys of exile.
Ethiopian Human lives are more valuable than your sweatshops you keep dreaming of.
We Ethiopians need to go to Saudi Arabia and save the young workers who Ittu & alike with their foreign investors partners chased out of their own country by non stop sucking the young workers blood dry in unsafe working conditions, while Ittu & Co. enrich their kkk investors.
Let’s save the migrants detained in Saudi First then we talk about the “investment” . Let’s all go to Saudi detention centers to save the detained!!! I have tried repeatedly to save them by myself, I can not do it by myself!!
