I get why doctors are demonstrating. Their salary is small, and they work under serious pressure. it’s fair to ask for better conditions. But let’s be real: it’s not just doctors. In Ethiopia, most of us with degrees are earning way less than we deserve. It’s not just about one profession...it’s a whole system where qualified people are underpaid across the board.
Now, here’s the tricky part. If the government raises salaries only for doctors, inflation could spike. And guess what? The rest of us...teachers, engineers, office workers, everyone...won’t see a salary increase, but we’ll feel the full hit of inflation. Prices will rise, and we’ll be worse off than before.
This isn’t just about salary...it’s about balance and sustainability. We need structural changes, not isolated raises. What about investing in reducing the cost of living? What about long-term reforms that make everyone’s income meaningful?
So yes, speak up but let’s not act like one group is the only one struggling. We all are. And any solution that leaves the majority behind is just creating a deeper gap...i'm not tryna be a bitch gn bka yhe yehulum chgr nw profession mertachu nw yegebachehut doctor hono 100,000 ena kza belaym meyagegn ale right?
