Ethiopia opens Africa’s tallest and most controversial dam

[BlackManLiveFromLondon]

Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Angola are the trio making Africa proud based on what they're doing.

Rwanda aint all that the media makes em out to be (fukk RWANDA TOO)

The Ethiopian dam is one of the reasons why they'll never fund that hydroelectric dam (which would be way bigger than Ethiopias) in DR Congo. We would legit be calling the shots if that were to happen and them Rwandans wanna make sure that we're never in that sort of position

Excuse my ignorance...

How do you export renewable energy?

 

[tater]

Don't be mean.

Angola is way too dependent on oil and the Chinese Brazilians and Portuguese are running tings in Luanda

China, yes - in terms of how they're vested in the country.

But I doubt Portugal has that much influence there apart from Portuguese cacs migrating there.

I don't know much about the Brazilian influence on the country.

However, the fact that the country just recovered from a brutal civil war less than 30 years ago and it's already where it is, in terms of Africa, is quite impressive.

I know most people don't like Rwanda cuz it's a US client state and it's responsible for the destabilization of Congo.

I'm just going by the fact that it recovered quickly from the brutal genocide.

The country looks good.

Are you Congolese?

Nice.

Ethiopia seems to be investing in a lot of interesting projects.

I like the rail thing they just built as well.

China just built.

Last time I was there in addis the chinese were building luxury apartments to house their people in only while ethiopians living in fukked up apartments and shanty houses. Literally all the chinese people were living in cheaply made but way more luxurious housing than all the ethopians... exception being the wealthy elite. Chinese women walking around addis ababba like movie stars and shyte... whole thing was fukked up

China just built

There's nothing bad in that. China is building a lot of things in Europe as well. And most of the technology the US later developed came from Europe. And a lot of construction companies building modern buildings in London now are American companies.

They just need to start asking for technology transfer.

China is trying to do to Africa what Cacs have done to them for decades. Go there, buy up property, live better than the locals, lure the women, and lecture them on how they can't do anything right and need to be guided. That is literally what cacs have done in most of asia for like 3 decades.

There is nothing sadder than seeing a fat, sloppy, stupid cac lecture a room of Asian people about how stupid or backwards they are, and they just drop their heads in shame and take it...pathetic
