  1. Being internally displaced in Ethiopia has a positive effect to the export economy of Ethiopia because many that were living practicing farming are turning into industrialists by breaking free from their cultural lifestyle of farming and joining the industrial revolution growth and transformation plan of the developmental EPRDF’s government.

    The Industrial zones of Ethiopia that are expected to account for more than 96%percent of Ethiopias garment cloth exports, is constantly hiring for people to work five days a week and take two days off a week.

    The internally displaced people of Ethiopia like to work at the industrial zones because the industrial zones employers provide their employees free dormitory style bedding/ housing accommodations , with free meals , mandatory free workout aerobic instructions every morning before work and $26 USD dollars a month pocket money they can help their family with. Many of the inetnally displaced little children who are not yet at working age are being adopted by Western developed nations adoptive parents with the children having an opportunity to grow up in many European countries, the adopting parents develop Ethiopia’s economy and the relatives of the orphan by providing a chunky change to the relatives of the adopted children, so overall the displacement is becoming a blessing in disguise for most.
