Hello All,
My recent article on Addis Admass about the social problem of young Ethiopian females and their ’sugar daddies’ is difficult for me to translate into English, so interested Farenji readers, please ask your Ethiopian friends to translate it for you if you are interested in reading it. Sorry!
Here is the original article in Amharic.
