An Experience of Being in Addis Ababa When the Ethiopians National Soccer Team Wins

Watch this short video  that my coworker and I recorded Ethiopians watching their Walya's in agony as they trail the Wild Beasts of Central African Republic 1:0 the first half; then the city burst into joy as the Walyas came back to win 2:1 and be only two games away from qualifying for the World Cup in Brazil next summer for the first time in Ethiopian History.


Another memorable day in the motherland, such a blessing it is to be in the midst of my people, sharing the joy.

    This is a very disappointing blog. you should not refer to anyone as "Wild Beast" We are all Africans and we must respect each other. I would expect that kind of language from some racist non-African, but not from a habesha.

    1. Dear Anonymous, thanks for the feedback, but I think you are misunderstanding why I inserted "Wild Beast" the Central African Republic's national Soccer team name is "Wild Beasts" like the Ethiopians are called Walyas or Walias.
