The Current Situation in Harar
“Large numbers of Hararis leaving Harar. Few opportunities for those that remain. Diaspora not organized effectively. Harari Government is challenged and works under continuous pressure. Dangerous situation for the continued existence of self-governing HARAR State. Increasing burden of inflation of lack of economic opportunity. Increased polarization between ethnic groups. Much better to PLAN and ACT now! We have to assume situation will get worse, before it gets better,” you could add the following, keeping in mind that precise, up-to-the-minute statistics on these specific points can be difficult to obtain and often vary depending on the source:
