Retail price is always greater than wholesale price and that is why Meles and co are selling the country at a retail more profitable price to fill their foreign account.

I think it is a wonderful opportunity. I would think of it as exporting oil. My concern is that we may not have the infrastructure to attract such a huge investment.

This is where the problem starts! Industrialization of farming is a good idea and even giving it to big players is not a bad idea as long as the profit generated is equally distributed among its citizens. However, experience has thought Africans that once the internal resources are converted into hard currency the poor will never see a dime! The Saudi’s will use our fertile land, they will pay The TPLF tags with multi-million dollars, and that money will disappear in thin air! The farmer would have been much better by keeping his land and getting assistance on how to utilize the resources further! Let me ask you folks this-Has the Ethiopian farmer benefited anything from the Gold sales over the years? The answer is resounding no! On the contrary, the farmers were getting the rough end of the deal because mercury and other side products from these mines polluted their land!
Ethiopian land is for wholesale and the so-called opposition is letting these TPLF vampires to piss on the head Ethiopian farmers while the Professor mesfin and et al found the luxury to philosophize the type of struggle they should wage against the vampire state! Cry Ethiopia cry …your fertile land is being sold to its historical enemies…what would Tedros , Yohaness say when they hear their land is sold to Mahdists and sheiks of Saudi! Cry emeye Ethiopia cry!

Wey Mealti ale Obama,

Meles Seytanaiw and its self owned party TPLF members will sell anything from Ethiopia for the highest bidder just to stay in power. We should stop surprise by the crimes of Meles Sytanwi and its idiot members of weyane, instead let’s keep designing the best strategy along the best leaders of Ginbot 7 to get rid of the Meles Seytanwi criminal group.

Eventually, if we allow the Meles Seytanwi group and its criminal gangster TPLF members to destroy Ethiopia, our country will be turning and will be majorly taken by the millionories of Saudi’s, sudanse and chinease new colonization programe and at the same time our people in Ethiopia become a slave either to weyane criminal group as it is now, or to the above foreigners.

If we keep talking the victories of weyane on Ethiopian people that would not help us, so GOBEZ ….lets us tighten our belt to the max. and start fighting the weyane criminal groups everywhere……

Victory to G7!!!

Death to Weyane Members and supporters!!!!!

It has to be clear that when these foriegn investors comes to Etiopia to invest agricalture or what ever at least they would introduce new technologies thats how technology transfers from one country to another, The country would be able to generate foriegn currency. we would have some people hired to work, Those investors would buy someresources inside the country.If there is a long sight view entance of investors in the country from which ever country is useful to the counry than hurting the country.If we only see every thing from short term advantage that Woyanes would be collapsed if there is no any econmomic movment is very disastrous to the country.

After occupation of Ethiopia/Oromia, Meles and his Adwa thugs displaced, put in jail, and killed hundreds of thousands of Oromo Ethiopians and now they are selling Oromia to the highest bidder. The broker or "Delala" to this bid is Al Amoudi who is on a mission, last but not least help Woyane to dismantle Ethiopia!!!
