From Indonesia's makan-makan to Ethiopia's gursha, two cultures discovered they speak the same language, food.
The opening of Loka Budaya in Addis Ababa celebrated the stories, traditions, and human connections that begin around a shared meal.

What if I told you rape is legal? It sounds like a horrific lie, but under our outdated legal framework, it is reality.
Current codes create a dangerous "exemption" that strips countless people of their right to protection.
Today we are exploring the dangerous and confusing grey areas within our legal systems to see the true costs of living by a 1960s rule in 2026

What was once considered the edge of the city is becoming one of its fastest-growing centers.
As rising costs push residents outward and new communities take shape, the road between Bole and Summit tells a bigger story about aspiration, urban growth, and the future of Addis.
Is Summit the new Bole, or is Addis simply becoming a city with many centers?

There was a time when we all watched the same shows, sang the same songs, and showed up talking about the same moments.
Today, we have endless content at our fingertips, yet fewer experiences that bring us together.
Maybe that's why so many of us miss those days. Not because everything was better, but because for a brief moment, despite all our differences, we were all dancing to the same tune.
Do you remember the last thing that truly brought Ethiopians together?

The driver wears a seat belt.
The passenger beside him wears a seat belt.But what about the person in the middle?
For years, Addis Ababa’s front-middle taxi seat has been treated as normal. Thousands sit there every day without questioning the risks.
Our latest feature explores the city’s forgotten passenger and why that may soon change.

Did Ethiopia’s most iconic film, Yewendoch Guday, accidentally stifle the very industry it helped put on the map?
While the 1990s were a golden era of experimental creativity, the massive success of this one masterpiece arguably trapped subsequent generations in a cycle of imitation, as filmmakers spent two decades desperately chasing the same comedic formula rather than pushing new boundaries. We mistook the film’s unique brilliance for a simple blueprint, inadvertently turning a once vibrant landscape into a vacuum of shallow, repetitive content.
It is time to have the uncomfortable conversation about whether we have been so busy trying to replicate the past that we perhaps have sacrificed our future?

Another week, another debate settled by the community.
This week's poll asked a question guaranteed to divide Ethiopian hip-hop fans: Who started Ethiopian hip-hop?
After hundreds of votes, the audience has spoken, and Teddy Yo takes the crown.
Do you agree with the result, or is there another name that deserves the title?
