      That you can have real change when your country doesn’t have billions of dollars spent on oil propaganda.

    Are they banning just the sale of ICE vehicles or also the use of ICE vehicles? The title is unclear, and the article didn’t provide much more info…

    not that I don’t applaud the move, but I wonder who is it who was buying automobiles in ethiopia in the first place and what that country’s charging infrastructure looks like now and their plans in the future. I get the feeling very few individuals will be affected by a ban.
