i think 2 more; one from japan and another one from kenya.

How many female members do we have here anyway?

That is why we should genderize our user names, reason why I put sewyew in amharic.

guys help me here, I am trying to get the contact info of some popular magazines and news papers in Ethiopia to carry these pics and make a column about us and the general sentiment of the current formation of the cities in the country.

After that we can bug some popular websites to do the same. We can't give up, lets bug people are around to get the message across.

I know there are some call in talk shows in Ethiopia. We can call there and mention this column too.

I've also approached & asked Addis Fortune to visit this site -no response. I may also give them a call.

Wow, great effort Ahadu.

Even though the "after" pictures are obviously photoshopped, it provides a great example of what CAN be done to an existing site to improve it.

It looks professionally made! Like you see in advertisements which are made by developers to show you "artists impression"

Thank you - that's exactly the point.

We don't need to be wealthy to improve the city. What we need is a grain of imagination and creativity.

Iamrof and Ahadu, great great great effort in trying to contact people. I'm really proud of you guys. we can't give up. we have to keep pushing. let's throw ideas together and see what we can come up with. for now, we can keep pushing for this and reach out to those who can actually implement the changes we seek.

@ Ahadu, nice work. this exposes the lack of imagination by those responsible within the city's administration. its sad and heartbreaking to say the least.

Future Scenario for transformation of an existing site – Transportation: Electric Bus / Trolley / or Tram

NICE! Trams. They would probably cut down on the blue & whites by providing an alternative

They would also cut public consumption of gasoline

Simafan I think you need to sharpen your skills and delete those. Please delete those. I am trying to have some others from Ethiopia to come here and check this thread out. So please delete your pics here and open a new thread for yourself. No offense bro, your effort is appreciated but you have ways to go.

?What should be the role of :
- City Administration
- Shop owners / keepers
- Shoppers
- Corner vendors
- Visitors
.....in....
*building
*maintaining
*cleaning

My apologies for showing such sickening Merkato pics. I get disgusted & embarrassed!

Such disgusting site is not a result of / or has nothing to do with lack of money / or wealth. It’s a result of laziness! – as simple as such.
