300,000 or something more people are expected to arrive at Addis for the millennium some including the government view this as an opportunity to harvest foreign money. Though I doubt the number I question, are we prepared to handle the responsibility? Yesterday our president officially opened the celebration, with a motto “2 tree for the 2nd millennium” it is a good move before we lost the air, and Al Gore must applaud the idea. There is also another call; everyone coming from abroad is requested to bring at least one book, love it. But the thing that holds my mind is the place where these visitors are going to stay. I really afraid for guys like me who live in a rental house. Will I be kicked out? Or am I going to pay double what I pay now?. The government may think the much controversial condos, to use them as a guest house. If this to happen, the management will become a rocket science for the government housing agency. So are there any contingencies, I am afraid no. I would like to appreciate companies such as Sunshine and GTZ for what they accomplish now.
