Addis Ababa's mayor
The mild-mannered mayor of Addis Ababa, as you may guess, is not that popular in the city. The only person who is their mayor for Addis Ababans is the great Birhanu Nega who received New school for social Research distinguished Alumunus Award this week. His name sake, however, must have no clue about the feeling of the city dwellers. On Thursday he went to a school inaguration ceremony at Lafto Kifle Ketema without security guards. His reception was hot, to say the least. Some of the residents of the kifle ketema who were at the ceremony booed him and showed their lack of recognition for him. Birhanu deressa left in a hurry before the ceremony ended.
The clashes of "Gemb" Market
Gemb market is a run-down market place near the "Awtobus Tera" in Nazret. Yesterday, the federal police went to evict the residents and traders at the place. The place was sold to property developers. The residents refused to leave the place which resulted in confrontation with the feds.The confrontation led to a small battle. The feds. as usual have no mercy; gunning down many people. Nazret was today sad.
PS: Yesterday I announced that I will start mass e-mail service for those who want to get hot news and info. Some have wrote to me that I shouldn't involve in business. I reply that they were reading what was not written. the e-mail service is for free. Due to the slow internet connection, it is difficult to access blogger and post news and information quickly.
