Asking Kenyan about Ethiopians is epic hha

[bereketkiflejibicho]

As Ethiopia, founding members of UN, AU and the third diplomatic country in the world, joining BRICS+ can benefit both Ethiopia and BRICS block.

[birukkifle]

The Analysis was amazing 👏 she is a Pan African and knowledgeable sister

[roegoleg]

Very well assessed and explained by the analyst.

[abdirizackzalakas]

BRICS should act as the correct bidding solutions to the issues surrounding the Grand Ethiopia Renaissance Dam, between Egypt and Ethiopia, genuine solutions can be achieved, to foster confidence, coordination and cooperation.

We Ethiopians have the following attributes to be chosen in Brics:-
1- Ethiopia is the host of AU
2- Largest population in Africa next to Nigeria
3- 75% of us are young population
4- Ethiopia is a Key role in the world's sea tradw route, Read sea babel mendeb.
5- Ethiopia is the only uncolonized and independent organic nation in Africa.

What I don’t get with the negative comments on BRICS is that, this is such a macro shift, no one firm let alone, person can shift its momentum.

And rather than constructively navigating how best to take into considerations their work, ideology from real/trolls’ comments are counter productive.

[Minte]

One thing no one understand is do you think USA AND WEST just sit and watch everything goes south, see they’re watching to start and blast it believe me, am from Ethiopia and I live outside side and I know west ppl they’re waiting for them

[tsegaye]

ዓይነት ሁሉ ኢትዮጵያ ላይ ለምን? ተስፋ ሰጪ ነው። ቅንቅን ጎረቤት ሀገሮች አሉን ወሬ አማላላሾች።

[lewiabraha]

BRICS countries will be left with the Arab countries and China

[yekuno]

Ethiopia was bailed out by the IMF and World Bank September 2024.
Let that sink in.
An economy that was bailed out by the same institutions that the BRICS is alligning against 😂

[efremsa]

How a poor host! asking Kenyan about an issue of Ethiopians participation in BRICS. 😀😀😀

[GirmaKassa-ipht]

Ethiopia is in the middle of civil war for 4 years. It has nothing to achieve

[lastChang]

Joining BRICS to boost the economy is delusional.
- With the exception of India 🇮🇳, none of BRICS countries has been doing well economically.

[ArabicReja]

"BRICS is a social club of *failed states, "* evaluated economists.

[syedhasan]

I think BRICS are going into the wrong direction. They should only add economies who show promise and willing to do the hard work.
