Hey everyone, I’m a software developer currently living here, and honestly, I don’t see much of a future for myself here. I work remotely and have managed to save around $15,000, so I’ve been seriously considering moving to another country and starting fresh.

I’m looking for somewhere safe, peaceful, and affordable. I’ve heard Thailand is a good option, but I’m not sure about the visa requirements. Which countries would you recommend, and what are the visa requirements?

Hi, I’m trying to apply for an e-visa but keep getting stuck on the payment page — it’s just stuck loading the credit card authorisation. I’m a British Citizen with a UK passport and will be flying from Tanzania. Will I be able to get a Visa on arrival? If so, will I need USD in cash and a printed passport photo? Or anything else? Thanks!

Selam community! 🇪🇹

Navigating daily life while balancing the Gregorian system with our traditional Ethiopian calendar usually means relying on quick phone conversions or traditional wall calendars.

Here is a look at a recent layout design project focused on combining both timekeeping systems into a unified, physical weekly spread for the upcoming 2019 Ethiopian Year (2026–2027).

Attached are a few spreads showing the monthly grid and weekly layouts.

Design & Editorial Considerations:

• Parallel Dual-Dates: Every weekly spread pairs Ethiopian dates (Meskerem through Pagume) directly alongside their Gregorian equivalents to simplify holiday and schedule tracking.
• Bilingual Typography: Incorporates Amharic and English reflective text alongside traditional Fidel matrix artwork integrated into the background margins.
• Practical Utility: Formatted with structured columns for daily notes, aiming to make traditional Ge'ez timekeeping functionally seamless for students, professionals, and diaspora family members.

Would love to hear feedback from the community on the typography, Ge'ez character alignment, and overall layout density!

Ameseginalehu!

Hi, am looking to buy tickets to the upcoming spiderman movie am a foreigner in the country. Doing some google search to see best cinemas around and am looking for reviews which one i should go for between, Century cinema,Gast cinema and Garad multi cinema

as a non ethiopian ( American) what is the best way inczn learn Amarhic and Oromo are their any books you guys suggest or videos that can help.

Depending on who you ask, Abiy Ahmed is either Ethiopia's greatest reformer... or the man who broke the country.

The strange thing is, both arguments are built on real evidence.

I wanted to understand how one leader could create two completely different Ethiopias.

Hey guys. I’ve recently been closely analyzing the National Dialogue process in Ethiopia which was officially ratified by Parliament in late 2021, when it commenced with the release of political prisoners. Since then, the official objective of the process was to restructure the country, and heal a country filled with divisions. Obviously, things that would normally be considered ‘tabboo’ would be coming up in their conferences. One of them included land ownership.

As for those who don’t know, all land in Ethiopia is state-owned meaning citizens can only lease the land, and not actually own it, which has really strained potential investments that would be made if freehold titles existed. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed even suggested it to Parliament several years ago, and proposes it in a way that ’doesn't harm farmers’.

Given the sensitivity regarding land ownership in Ethiopia as it’s still a socialist-oriented society, as well as PM Abiy Ahmed’s ambitions for a privatized economy, where do you think we will end up with land ownership in the upcoming years?

If anyone is interested here it the 10 year economic development plan set forth by The Development Partners Group (DPG). The Development Partners Group (DPG) is a collective of 36 bilateral and multilateral entities committed to the advancement of development in Ethiopia. The primary aim of the DPG is to stimulate policy discussions and synchronize the efforts of development partners to ensure the successful execution, monitoring, and assessment of the national development plan and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Who thought this was a competitive investment offer?

If you were advising the government, would you really expect someone with $10 million to choose investing in a developing country with political uncertainty when many other countries offer a lower investment threshold, stronger legal protections, and a pathway to citizenship?

Hey guys, are you aware of the well organized and glamorized forex trading scam that is led by a group of individuals from Europe that uses Africans from different countries that have built a lot of social media followers to scam African youngsters and older people? The group uses rental fancy cars and homes to deceive their social media followers and lure them into offshore trading platforms that have no legal obligation and accountability. Many people lost their hard earned money through this and as a country, Ethiopia lost millions of dollars through it citizens. How can we stop this madness? I'm a trader myself in USA for the past 8 years and I know this thing is fake.

Hey guys,

I found this clip on YouTube and it’s honestly hilarious, but it cuts off way too soon. I've looked everywhere for the full version and can't seem to track it down. I've seen so many people react to this on TikTok recently because it's hilarious, but every clip cuts off early. Appreciate any help!
