So the tension continues.

Eritrea is super corrupt and has like 300,000 people enslaved. Eritrea also, won't take care of its people and kills it's own leading to tons of people fleeing and dumping themselves on Europe and elsewhere. Ethiopia just had 200 some soldiers killed by Eritrea as well.

So yeah it's a story.

Eritrean refugees worldwide are also protesting against the Eritrean government. Protests occurred in Israel and Switzerland among other places.

Crazy shit. It's starting to feel like the world's in that slow harmless twirl the toilet makes right before the shit goes down.

And I mean the world. Ain't long before this subtlety interconnected trouble echos through even the most comfortable countries.

Africa? Excellent diversity and culture to be had there. How can we get some of THAT?!?

Wait. Those aren't the same place?

 

[Fawlty]

Wait. Those aren't the same place?

I feel bad but I lol'd. I couldn't tell you one meaningful difference between those two countries. It all goes in the "Fucked up parts of Africa" bin in my head.

When isn't there a huge conflict going on in that area or region?

No one is going to want to take in anymore refugees - especially from countries where you have to quite literally have house break them. The west has stopped caring to get involved in any meaningful way - the UN is not equipped to handle it.

A few hundred thousand will die, Bono will sing a song, it will make page 17 news and eventually in a few years, someone will make a movie off of it and profit.

Ethiopia wasnt colonized, it should be paradise on earth. I dont understand.

You guys ever had Ethiopian food? Don't worry, the locals haven't either.

They were the same country but Eritrea broke away removing Ethiopa access to the sea.

To be fair it was attacked with chemical weapons and destroyed by the Italians when they were not able to colonize it.

War isn't a new thing. People have way too rosey an idea of the past.

Sure about that?

Saying things are getting worse isn't saying the past was great.

The world needs a good flush every now and then.

I don't wanna live in a toilet

What about scrubbing bubbles? That shit works right?

Both of those countries are largely christian, is that a group we dont take refugees from now?

I plead guilty to conflating it due to culinary experience.

This place was the main hang out back in my Philly days.

Damn I miss that Dahlak Tibs, Tomato Salad, Potato Salad, Shiro Watt, and Yidoro Tibs. With some Heinekens to set off the flavors.

Kenya has better runners, there's a difference.

There haven't been this many conflicts and frozen conflicts since WW2. The number of people displaced is also at it's peak since WW2.

Wait slavery still exists? And it's in Africa? I didn't know white people were in that part of Africa.
