You are a foreigner and you are looking for ways to support #Ethiopia and #Ethiopian people? Here's a list of actions that you can take and avoid.
1. Are you an academic, researcher, or think tank who tangentially works on #Ethiopia? Are you being asked to comment on the situation and give your take for media or speaking engagements? Politely decline and recommend an expert, preferably #Ethiopian
Poverty Porn is any form of media, be it written, photographed, or filmed, that exploits the poor’s condition to generate z necessary sympathy for gaining public support. Why is PM Abiy using it for???
@AbiyAhmedAli is using poverty porn to deflect the public's eye from the social and justice systems he created that is perpetuating the poor's condition. He is diverting our attention from the system & avoid responsibility for the desperate situation these poor are in.
