In my recent trip to Addis I had the opportunity to witness the enormous construction activities happening in and the outskirts of the city. It helps me to realize to what the world is talking about - the Ethiopian economy is growing at Chinese rates.
According to some sources, Ethiopian economy grows 10.3 % during the last Ethiopian year, and expected to grow 11.4% GDP in 2007 EFY [2014/2015].
In my observation, I haven’t seen anything like this anywhere in African cities, Addis has now become the happening place for all kind of engineering projects. You name it: railways, buildings, high-rises, bridges, deep foundations, reservoirs, factories, expressway, condominium housing, real estates, the list will go on. In which, this is being implemented in large scale.
One Sunday Morning I hike in to one of the hills located in the southern outskirts. Looking down from the hill top I saw massive expansion of the city - the size of the condominium housing project is something my eyes couldn't get to believe, such beautiful Green Yellow Red painting of the buildings is somehow a signal that the country is addressing in the national level.
I was also surprised to see my dog surprised. And I said who else is not surprised?
