icog is probably one of the biggest game changers in Ethiopia's tech space. It's good to hear their history and struggles. I hope they make a movie out it. I've so much respect for the people I met from icog, I hope to see them rise again.

Btw I used to hate Hruy, he made fun of us back in the days when we competed for Robo Soccer, but nothing personal 😂, @bereket_ademe, I hope you remember it
