A quarter of Ethiopia's economic woes emanates from the bureaucratic spiteful beligerence of the Ethiopian Customs Department and their horrendous and unreasonable tariffs; their excessive duties on a variety of merchanise, goods and as well as miscellaneous items they at random consfiscate, that should incur a modest - but proprortionate charge to all other nations. The Ethiopian "Gumbrouk" from his Majesty's time via Mengistu's Derg, to the present dubious incumbent of the PM's chair have all shied away from reforning the nasty behaviour of Ethiopia's Customs and Excise Department. If things were streamlined and the idiotic letters of credit disposed of, and the Birr reasonably floated against world currencies with free flow of forex then a more trusting business atmosphere of confidence would thus ensue.
‘bureaucratic spiteful belligerence’ to sum it up in three words.
