I’m happy to watch your videos, I came back to Ethiopia after I was away 11 years! And I was lonely most of those years 😢 in the US, but that is behind me now. Praise the Lord. I’m now living in my father’s village or small town and enjoying it.

What is church life in Jesus Christ like in Ethiopia? I want to move out of the US to find the true remnant of Yah that keeps the Sabbath/Feasts of Yah. I don't even go to church in the US because people just live a life in sin and claim to be Christians and I don't agree with that.

What businesses would you recommend to start for someone coming from US after 14 years

@princesslivingfree 4 ай бұрын

There’s so many good ones! For example, a private school with good education (so far Summit has the best ones but this is lacking in other parts of the city). Another one is healthy kids snacks that can be packaged for school (i.e. granola bars). I still think there’s lots of room here in the restaurant space. Sometimes I crave GOOD food outside of Ethiopian like the variety we have in the U.S. Basically, I would say that anything that’s already being done here you could improve on, or do something that you’ve seen in the States that doesn’t exist here. Also, most consumer goods (food, cosmetics, clothing) are imported, so you can look for ways to produce locally. Good luck!

Can a foreigner open up a business on their own or do they need an Ethiopian to be their partner? I ask because I used to live in the M.E and it was this way. It's hard to find any info on starting a business as a foreigner there.

If your FANO, TPLF and OLF combined the Ethiopian government will beat all of you. Look at your so called leaders, they can’t even get along let alone lead a big country like Ethiopia.
