What are your opinions regarding Ethiopians in the Diaspora?:

As we all know there are many Diasporas living in foreign countries. They should contribute a lot for the development of our country.  One way they can do this is by bringing new technologies that are not found in the developing countries. Sharing their ideas and experiences is also very helpful. These days the government is trying to initiate the Diasporas in many ways and I think they should respond to this.

What do you think will improve Ethiopia for the next generation of Ethiopians?:  

These days Ethiopia is changing and developing. You see a lot of developing activities in every part of the country. And this should be continuous. Everybody should work together and harder for the common goal leaving our differences behind as we are and have been doing. One thing I strongly believe is that we need to import and apply the technological advancements others are using and that we shouldn’t let anything jeopardize this.
