Complaining – about blackouts, the long rainy season, the complete lack of traffic regulation in Addis Ababa and the poor service at restaurants and hotels – makes for easier conversation than intellectual forays into the role of foreign aid in Ethiopia’s development.

Some answer thoughtfully, but others behave as if I’m mounting an assault on their character or their motives. stanforddaily/2013/07/16/inside-and-outside-the-compound-my-summer-at-usaid/
