Will they be hiring Somali workers or will they bring in others like last time?
The disrespect, we are Somalis and he should address us in our language or at least have the decency to bring a translator.
@xabeshi What language did he use to address the Somalis? Amharic I presume?

What do you mean? Are you asking what PM Abiy spoke? I guess Amharic but if he can Somali, I am sure he would have addressed them in Somali as he did in Oromia and Tigray.

I thought he may use English.
Are you expecting a PM to master 80 languages? Please! The Somali TV will translate it of course.
If he can address other Ethnic groups in their languages then he can address us in ours or have the decency to have an onsite translator.Are you expecting a PM to master 80 languages? Please! The Somali TV will translate it of course.
I’m sure the majority of us can speak basic Amharic but can’t read nor write in it.Kenyan Somalis almost all speak English and Swahili, but Ethiopian Somalis are incredibly isolated and insular and don't learn foreign languages as much (except for some of the educated ones).

Key words: He could have had a translator with him, shouldn’t he be trying to connect with the locals and show them he cares as their Prime Minister? Kind of hard to feel a connection to a person when you don’t even understand half the things they are saying.He is the first PM to master 3 local languages and we have 80 languages in Ethiopia. So, those he masters, of course he uses when he visits those areas but you can't expect him to master all.

What’s the obsession with Somalis calling all local airports international kkkkkHe needs to lay stones for an industrial park and upgrade Godey international airport & Terminal to proper standards. The road project was needed but it’s disrespectful to come empty handed to the Ogaden Nation when you are only giving us crumbs after years of marginalization.
