“እነዚህ ሰዎች፣ ‘አድማ’ ብለው የሚጠሩትን፣ ማንኛውንም ነገር፣ ‘አድማ’ አትበሉ፤ እነርሱ የሚፈሩትን አትፍሩ፤ አትሸበሩለትም።

ልትቀድሱ የሚገባው የሰራዊት ጌታ እግዚአብሔርን ብቻ ነው፤ ልትፈሩት የሚገባው እርሱን ነው፤ ልትንቀጠቀጡለት የሚገባውም እርሱ ነው።"

Hey, quick thoughts again and I'll be out

I have a lot of thoughts about this but I don't want to spam or blabber but...

First of I'd like to thank everyone that watched the podcast, commented, liked, gave feedback and most of all everyone here at telegram and over at linkedIn for posting and showing your support to A2SV and me.

The way I see it, the government is actively pushing them away, and it's their active choice to not support and more over they decided to push him away. Honestly this isn't the right way to treat someone who invested $1m to the students here.

Literally 99% of us here never knew we were capable of actually learning DSA and then being accepted to big tech companies. The 1% that did were selfish enough to gatekeep it but A2SV came and swung the doors open for literally everyone.

The most important reason for the government to not support is the fact that some trained individuals are leaving Ethiopia but A2SV has trained so many more talented people that HAVEN'T left. Quiet literally so many people are smarter and talented in the country because of A2SV. It has raised the collective IQ and the tech-aware people so much.

But the government doesn't care. They'd rather keep you uneducated and less talented than to actually give you a life. It's pathetic and sad. Just because the government isn't taxing the few people that made it out it's blocking this opportunity to the 99% that's being educated highly.

Anyways, I played my role and I don't have any regrets, I did what I could, which was to give Emre/A2SV a chance and a platform to speak loud and spark something in everyone that listened.

NOW, this is a case where you've heard of, imagine the countless other opportunities we're losing on and being kept from. We pushed A2SV out and it will flourish in a nearby country while we sit and watch. How sad and disappointing.

Such a shame it'll be in the near future when nearby countries enjoy what we pushed out.

Unknowingly not only has the government pushed Emre/A2SV out but anyone with similar hearts and intentions. Pathetic.

I've been advised to not be vocal about this so I'll keep my mouth shut to not spill anything else. Anyways ቬሪ ሳድ!

In slightly good news tho, I'm very glad that my podcast was able to create this chain of spark. It was unprecedented but now we're all aware about the story, and that's very important.

A2SV >>>>>>> 5M Coders

God is using this podcast in more ways than I ever planned, and I'm grateful honestly. Will keep doing it. Prioritizing quality instead of quantity and deep and meaningful content instead of blabbers and click bait content.

Hey, these quick updates had me almost spamming lol

the babi effect

Was talking to Emre and yeah A2SV is staying and the issues are resolving. There's still an issue of funding but he's very hopeful about it now. We won :)

I'm super glad and I'm happy for all the present and future A2SVians. This's wonderful news. Thank you everyone that supported, shared and encouraged this. ❤️

Don't forget to send me your questions for Jack Rhysider, you can get as technical and as personal as you'd like.
