The two experts explain the ruling party’s claim that Ethiopia’s economy has been and will continue to grow double-digit is baseless. Click below to listen:

Elais, you ought to delete the links. The discussions actually led to blieve that that there is change in Ethiopia. I found the arguments of the Docs weak.

For Exposing this, WOYANE lie propaganda machine, who suffer inferiority compelex.
To be honest, the professors convinced me there is development. The VOA professors were talking with no almost no evidence which makes you believe the contrary
Economics is not always about politics and some of the basic concepts of economics raised by the two prominent economists (such as monetary and fisical policy) could fly above the head of an ordinary person. This however, doean’t mean that they haven’t tackled the issue. For a trained ecoonomist, it is easy to see that the two sholars have destroyed Woyane’s “fake growth” propaganda beyound recognition.
Thank you Elias for posting this.
