Betelhem Dessie: A 19-Year-Old Tech Genius Coding at Ethiopia’s First AI Lab

The pic with developers has been taken in http://www.iceaddis.com/ a great co-working place (I normally do not like co-working place: to many so called western digital nomads just uploading dumb youtube videos, but this is different: almost all locals, really smart guys: I mean really)

I am 100% positive on the fact that many EU based IT companies will have a base in Ethiopia in the near feature: almost same timezone, perfect English (in Ethiopia when you are around 16 anything in school starts to be in English: which is not that good, really, but you end up with access to good books and with graduates talking great English); but also great winter (Addis is a plateau, over 2500mt high, so no mosquitoes, no malaria at all, no need air conditioning, and every day sunny as june in Europe): any IT companies will love to have a base there!

the only problem is politics (here, too!): the government do not probably have instruments to control what is going on in the internet, as a result they just turn internet off when needed (and when I mean off, I mean OFF! and for days): election are coming, so watch out!

btw, how do you bypass the "Blocked because of Ad Blocker"? I did whitelist the website but I am still unable to see the content (and I am not going to uninstall my Ublock ;)
