Addisu Tadesse, an Ethiopian residing in the United Kingdom (UK) and working as a research and development engineer for a multinational company, has a very positive impression of Ethiopia's economic development after his recent visit in November 2007. Although reluctant to make the current regime brag about his positive observations, concerned that it may lead to complacency, he argues that his is an effort to emphasise the importance of hard work to win the hearts and minds of the people. He would also like to remind the opposition to recognise the changes on the ground and prepare themselves accordingly by formulating a better strategy based on what has already been achieved.

Very interesting article about the economic boom in Ethiopia. Critical review and background information.
