Tunis/Addis Ababa — Ketsela Negatu is the son of an Ethiopian goat farmer living close to the country's capital, Addis Ababa, who refuses to follow in his father's footsteps. The 19-year-old has negative perceptions about the family profession after seeing the dim prospects a farming livelihood has offered his father. "I will go to the city and try and find work. I don't know what I will do but I want to find a job that pays more money so I can live a good life," he told IPS.
"We will also lose the young who want to be connected and communicate via phones and the Internet if these needs [for reliable power] are not met." -- Cheikh Ly, secretary of the FAO regional conference
