Mom’s birthday is in a few weeks. She never says if she wants something and she lives frugally so I really don’t know what to get any ideas? Any habesha moms on here? I asked her and she did the whole “nooo, you’re enough!” thing so I’m just like, bruh…..anyway thank you 🙏🏽. Edit: Thanks everyone
I haven’t been to mekelle since 2007. I just now today noticed how different the skyline looks (pre-war and currently). Was there a construction boom at some point??? Thank you.
Was the Orthodox Church institutionally hijacked by the political class at some point? Like instead of pointing the finger at haile selassie or whoever you just say “we pray to God to fix the famine” so they just get off relatively Scott free? My uncle was a Wayne/tigadalay guy (I think) and he used to tell stories of how he’d raid churches cause they were raping girls and extorting people n shit. I wanna know about church corruption. Thank you.
I haven’t slept in 2 days
I thought my Eritrean family represented your typical Eritreans (they do) but I’ve never been aware of the differences of the different parts of the country. I know a Sudan adjacent Eritrean will be different from a Tigray adjacent one which is different from a Yemen adjacent one then you got the Rashida’s. What else? Is it more ethnic-y like Ethiopia? Thank you.
I haven’t been there in like 20 years what’s the pizza like? Any Americans wanna chip in? Plz and thank you.
I bet Sudan wouldn’t mind the extra money from the port fees of having all that stuff shipped instead of flown in for a trillion dollars.

How is everybody
What doe life look like for someone earning a middle class income and how common are modern bathrooms and reliable electricity? What number is a comfortable middle class income for someone with 2 kids like 800$ a month? In a smaller city not Addis. Google isn’t helping. EDIT: To add context I'm thinking Mekelle but I think the TIA added a new tax for goods from Addis/Djibouti? But it’s Mekelle so I know it’s somewhat cheaper. Thanks.
