Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is leading a campaign to plant 6 billion trees across the country this year. It forms part of his ‘’Green Legacy’’ project to promote eco-tourism and combat the effects of climate change.
The initiative highlights his focus on the environment ahead of the elections.
At the launch in a meeting hall filled with freshly watered seedlings Tuesday, Abiy encouraged Ethiopians to plant billions of trees.

YOU LIVE IN A DESERT!!!
If only the Spaniards had explored Ethiopia in the 15-1600’s...Ethiopia would be lush with mesquites.
What, no food?
It might be better if Ethiopia were to plant 20 billion corn stalks.
Gee,the cameraman could give him a sandwich!
Hopefully that includes a lot of fruit trees, date palms and coconut trees.
20 billion? By the end of next year? Do they even math? I going to confidently predict that they fall a tad short.

“Ethiopia Aims to Plant 20 Billion Trees by 2022”
That’s almost as many money tress as the Democrat have to plant to pay for Biden’s spending policies.
Ah. Of course. Ethiopia is a backwards violent s hole because climate change.
Well, in principle nothing really wrong with planting lots of trees. They should plant crops though. They are going to water these trees I imagine by damming up the Nile River, which is making Egypt very angry. Could result in war.
Will fertilze real good with all the human excrement.
Plant Cedars of Lebanon.
The Sam Kinison meme is right IT'S a F**KING DESERT! You can plant trees until the cows come home and they're going to die, there's no water in the vast majority of the country!
Impressive - 50,000 per square mile and 100 per acre. Glad they don’t have any roads there, or they’d have to tear them up to make room for the trees. As to water, they already have that problem solved, their new dam will simply take the water that Egypt is getting from the Nile, so plenty of water! Hmmmm...
...I wonder what Egypt thinks of the plan?
Better plant them near water, or there will be 15 billion dry sticks standing on end.
Who is going to WATER all those trees once they are planted?
Yeah right
