Mass poverty is a catastrophe which is decreasing living standard of
the mass that is created artificially by greedy grabbing of all available local
public resources by individuals or groups. Human beings are not naturally
created to be poor or to live under the roof of poverty. Since all mankind is equal in birth
regardless of his/her race, sex or status backgrounds. Economical poverty comes
from mismanagement,uneven distribution of available resources,corruption
through which few individuals get rich and the public suffers ,stealing the public resources and political unstability. In our country
Ethiopia the intense poverty caused by ruling regime which is afflicting and
suffering souls of millions. Poverty ever since its created it affected the
lower society class but not the groups or individuals in power. During the famous
Ethiopian famine those who were died were peasants, pastoralists and people who were at lower economical level. The current Ethiopian regime and its families,
friends and messengers are getting very rich and the Ethiopian economy defined
at their economic status but not by the majority living status. The ruling minority junta and its family company
EFFERT which is the richest and wealthiest company in the country. The
company started its operation with 2.7 billion birr capital in 1991 and
now the stolen Ethiopian public money makes the company one of world richest
companies. Without any ones questioning , permission or decision this company can extract, exploit
and steal resources from any part of the
country.
Another public resource stealing and
exploiting company called Medrock Ethiopia owned by ‘’black billionaire’’ Mohammed Hussein Al Amoudi or also known
as ‘’the Saudi star’’ .This man is using all the local resources without any
controlled manner again from all over the country. For instance we can look at LEGADEMBI gold mine from which tons
and tons of gold mined,stolen and exploited by the company every year but no
infrastructure, public services or another stuffs built for local people who
are living in Legadembi. Gold is a nonrenewable resource which is greatly exploited
from the region by foreign man which made him the wealthiest man in the world and left the
public poor .Most of this man's wealth and treasures come from unexploited regions which is property of Ethiopia and ethiopians but controlled and used by one foreign person. There are far more crimes committed by Woyane and its exploitative
friend ‘’the Saudi star’’. For instance in the name of investment,forced
displacement of residents and native people from their native place in
Gambella western Ethiopia,
ethnic cleansing of Amhara’s from
South and Gumuz regions,which is crime against humanity. The diminishing forest
resource of the country is lumbered and deforested by military officials and
Generals of Woyane. The country and
people are missing their green gold resource for forever but the destructive angles of
woyane earning profit of million dollars from forest lumbering. Newly
introduced system of privatization of public resources are another ‘’theft web
of woyane’’ . If the privatization is
used and implemented in proper manner it is better for protecting properties
from damage and carelessness but the Ethiopian regime privatization is purposely
planned for stealing . For instance the privatization of electric company:-
here as the price of electric bill arises per kwh the public have to pay more and
more per kwh and the company getting high profit. People who are able to pay
the increasing price of electric bill will have an access to electric and these who are
not able will eventually be excluded from the service. We can see that during the
increase of price of goods (eg. inflation in 2011 was 40% and still now there
is inflation) in Ethiopia there is no increase in salary or another measures taken
to stabilize the situation. Here I am not dealing about top officials of woyane
or rich merchants, but I am talking about the poorest people like physical
labourers, factory workers or other poorly paid people since most population
of the country is categorized in lower economic level. Woyane introduced to Ethiopian economy the
system which is called Free market(sometimes known as laissez-faire) economy
which refers to the price of goods and services determined by the force of
supply and demand in market. This system was wrongly introduced to Ethiopia
again for stealing and exploiting the poor . Here the government and traders ( rich merchants) share the trading techniques intentionally due to this the price of things vary from shop to shop sometimes up to 100 percent price difference could be seen for the item with the same size and length .For example you may pay for a piece of cardboard
box with the same size and volume in one shop 2 birr, in next shop
5 birr or more and cost of basic goods are as high as sky touch which is uncontrolled intentionally to make life hard for poor. N.B:- free market system is by its self not exploitative but the
system of government derives it to go to the wrong direction. The price of domestic
goods cost as much as the imported goods. For example the price of basic goods
such as housings, teff, berbere, coffee, sugar, beans and some rest increased from 35 to 76 percent from the year 2007—2013.
This artificial price increasing and uncontrolled system of Woyane worsened the lives of millions and millions
of Ethiopians. The woyanes ( TPLF) immoral beasts from jungle horrifying the life
of Ethiopians by its pseudo economic development propaganda .
The economic
development of one country is improvement of the living standard of the whole
people living in the territory of that country.Now a day’s life is getting
harder for poor and the country is not able to feed its own people. Here the
situation should be seen from the majority point of view. The woyane,its families
and friends are controlling all Ethiopian economy. Their exploitative,oppressive
and theft web let them become richer and richer while the exploited and common
society at lower level are getting poorer and poorer. This what is known as ‘’
law of increasing poverty’’. The basic measure of economic development certain country is not measured by economic status and richness of few groups or individuals but the whole population or
community of certain country with improved living standards.DIL LE ETHIOPIA HIZB
