Wrong amount of inhabitants

There is written that Addis Ababa has only 2.5 mil inhabitants while it has 5.46 mil

and Mogadishu it says 5.9 mil while correct amount is 2.5 mil

Needs a lot of proofreading & editing

These paragraphs are quite badly written and confusingly mix tenses. Just take these examples from the history section

"Gebrehiwot Baykedagn took major administrative division post, and Addis Ababa–Djibouti railways in 1916, which also connects Addis Ababa with French Somaliland port of Djibouti. Ras Tafari Mekonnen, later became Emperor Haile Selassie I was the most powerful figure in the city following his appointment in 1917. He transformed the city by recognizing the importance of modernization and urbanization, and he distributed wealth to support emerging class."

Needs a major rewrite to add proper grammar (also unsourced claims)

" After the Derg came to power, roughly two-third of housing stock transferred to rental housing. The population growth declined from 6.5% to 3.7%. In 1975, the Derg nationalized "extra" rental structures built by private stockholders. As a result, the Proclamationon No. 47/1975 issued weakened buildings with small amount of living was administered by kebele units, while rental houses with large quality fell under Agency for Rental Housing Administration (ARHA). If those rental properties value less than 100 birr (US$48.31), they would be put under kebele administration. The administrative divisions showed an increase of woredas to 25 and 284 kebeles."

This is not a readable sentence - I don't know what it is trying to say!

Climate

I know it sounds ridiculous, but actually the dry season is the summer, the warmer months, so is it kind of a Mediterranean climate? דולב חולב (talk) 17:04, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

Rainfall patterns in Koppen are adduced by low-sun/high-sun seasons, and Addis Ababa is in the Northern Hemisphere. So no, but interesting observation. Uness232 (talk) 15:42, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
