My point is this is propaganda
Yeah, no. Your point is whataboutism in order to deflect from an obvious failure. It's the old hypernormalization approach that dictatorships and their defenders love to use. "If everything's bad, then the countless problems of this autocracy can't be that bad, right?"
The problems with Ethiopia's rail system and financing are well-known though, you can find articles about it right accross the political spectrum.
Disagreeing with this article's conclusions about it would be valid, but there's no point trying to pretend the facts listed are not facts.
And you think this because other people complain about trains?
Not a very valid point.
Every nation complains about its leaders. Some are still bigger shit heads then others.
Simple fact is human beings are more likely to comment on issues then note boring reliability. It still in no way effects the cross nation comparison.
The best of nations in anything has a right and even need to look for better. That is afterall how progress works.
But you need clear comparisons and data to accusse those complaints of properganda.
Everything is propaganda.
And freedom is slavery.
