I am personally prepared to stop the continuous price increase of consumer goods in Ethiopia when the TFTA deal goes into a effect. I urge the young energetic Ethiopian migrants to consider working for me in Zimbabwe to get Ethiopian birr powerful again as it was 24 years ago. 25 years ago 1 USA dollar = 2.07 Ethiopian birrs NOW 1 USA dollar = 25 Ethiopian birrs The only reason Tigray People’s liberation Front (TPLF) were better than me was because they were money mongers and business minded people. They bribed my generals like General Ali and General Abdulahi. Now… Read more »

A country like ours, a very small economy, even in the African context, has no choice but to sign on to these protocols. Malawi does not manufacture anything for export, to talk about. We are majorly, net consumers of foreign goods. Other country will run with the agreement, and prosper because they will export more. And we will remain hewers of wood and drawer of water for a long time. With APM or anybody else at the helm. We are too dependent on agro-based enterprises; even since Kamuzu’s days.

Ngwenya says: “Some member states have not completely liberalized free movement of business persons . . . .” What we need is free movement of ALL persons – labor as well as management.

I do not see how the poorest country on earth, that cannot lay its own eggs, & has huge appetite for imports, hardly exports anything, taxes its citizens like slaves, and steals over half of the revenues, etc, etc can ever benefit frm this initiative.
A country without a direction – led by headless chickens. Sad, sad, sad…
