Ethiopia is an extraordinary Country and many primacies find a home there. Among them, many are negative ones: most of the construction sites are coming from abroad – primarily from China – according to the capitalist colonial tradition: nowadays Addis Abeba looks like a huge worksite.

Railways, ring roads, dams, buildings, in general, are born day by day and it’s not easy to define what is been built for the Ethiopians and what is for foreigner interests. While we think about it, time goes on anyway and the city’s iniquity increases day by day.
