Welcome Aboard Esteemed Customers,
ክቡራን ደንበኞቻችን
s the fastest-growing African airline, we have just finished yet another successful fiscal year with one of the highest growth rates in the airline industry. We have added 14 new and modern airplanes to our fleet, including four ultra-modern Boeing 787 Dreamliners. We have transported 5.2 million passengers and 174,398 tons of cargo with record levels of revenue and profitability. We have also expanded our route network throughout the year with eight new destinations, including the recent services to Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Seoul. With these new and long-haul destinations, Ethiopian has become a truly global, indigenous African airline. Our wings have now spread across all inhabited continents except Australia, enhancing mobility and connectivity between Africa and the rest of the world. Ethiopian has also received many awards and recognitions in the past year, including the latest SKYTRAX World Airline Award for the Best Airline Staff Service in Africa. Ethiopian won this award through online votes from millions of our esteemed customers. We thank you for this strong vote of confidence. Continuing our endeavor to better serve you, we are starting new services to Singapore, Manila, Niamey and Munich, as well as a new destination in Nigeria — Enugu — on top of increasing to daily our service to Abuja, Nigeria’s capital city. All these are geared toward giving you the best options and most convenient connections. We will also continue to introduce new aircraft and enhance our services. In the coming months we will take delivery of the Boeing 777-300 Extended Range airplane. The second and third phase of the expansion of our premium travelers’ lounge in Addis Ababa is also underway, to enhance your on-ground services experience. As a Pan-African airline, we have also finalized a strategic equity partnership to form a new airline called Malawi Airlines. That regional carrier’s base in Lilongwe will serve as our third hub, offering smoother and convenient connections for passengers to/from the southern Africa region. As always, we will continue to enhance our products and services to better serve your travel needs. And it is a pleasure to have you fly with us today. Have a pleasant flight.

Outstanding Pan-African Air Service “a strategic roadmap for setting up multiple hubs in Africa.”

Ethiopian Airlines is pleased to announce that it has finalized a strategic equity partnership to form Malawi Airlines, a new regional carrier that will serve southern Africa. This partnership is an essential step to fulfilling Ethiopian Vision 2025 — a roadmap for setting up multiple hubs in Africa. With Malawi Airlines, that country’s capital city of Lilongwe will serve as the third hub for Ethiopian Airlines on the continent. (Addis Ababa serves as its main hub, and Lomé, Togo, is its West Africa hub, as part of the ASKY network.) “This new agreement,” stated CEO Tewolde GebreMariam, “is a model for the type of African cooperation that is needed in the 21st century. Today, Africa is booming and, with the economic growth of our continent, demand for air travel is also growing at a much faster pace than the global average. “This growing demand and the uneven competition from foreign carriers, which currently dominate the African market, cannot be overcome by one single African airline. For indigenous African airlines to succeed and get their fare share of the market, partnerships between African airlines are a must. “Ethiopian Airlines is first and foremost a Pan-African airline.”

New Route to Enugu, Nigeria
Dual Awards for CEO
Best in the skies
Ethiopian Airlines CEO Tewolde GebreMariam recently received outstanding recognition in two areas: He received the 2013 Airline Strategy Awards for Regional Leadership — the first African Airline CEO in the award’s 12-year history. The award recognizes excellence in a carrier that provides strong transport links in its geographical region, and judges called the airline’s success “very impressive.” Tewolde also was elected to the Board of Governors of the prestigious International Air Transport Association. The IATA represents some 240 airlines, or 84 percent of the world’s air traffic, and helps formulate policy on critical industry issues. Tewolde’s election reflects a recognition of Ethiopian and its staff as Africa’s premier carrier.
In June, SKYTRAX recognized Ethiopian Airlines for Best Airline Staff Service in Africa. With its uniquely Ethiopian-flavored African hospitality, the airline makes use of the highest-quality products and services to meet customer expectations. “We have been investing heavily in training and development of our staff on one hand,” said Ethiopian CEO Tewolde GebreMariam, “and state-of-the-art information and communication technology and fleet on the other. “The award is a testimony of the hard work of our employees,” he added. “It is their customer-friendly [nature] and superior service delivery that is making Ethiopian an airline of customer choice in Africa.”
As of August 2013, Ethiopian Airlines began service to Enugu, Nigeria — becoming the only international carrier to fly there. Ethiopian will also increase its flights to Abuja from five times a week to daily. Ethiopian has been flying to Nigeria since 1960, making it the airline’s first destination in West Africa.
Noteworthy
In line with its Vision 2025 goal to make Ethiopian Airlines Aviation Academy the leading aviation-training center in Africa, the academy recently graduated 29 pilots, 49 aviation technicians and 43 cabin crew — including five female pilots from Mozambique and two technicians from Namibia. The academy also graduated 26 pilots trained with a multi-crew pilot license. Ethiopian is currently the only airline in Africa to provide this training.
Ethiopian received its sixth Boeing 777-200LR (Long Range) Worldliner, an aircraft capable of connecting virtually any two cities in the world nonstop. The jetliner’s performance and range has enabled Ethiopian to open direct routes from Washington, D.C., to Addis Ababa; from Addis to Beijing; and from Toronto to Addis; with more nonstop long-range routes planned.
The airline also received the nextgeneration Boeing 737-800 with Sky Interior — bringing Ethiopian’s total number of fleet to 58. Passengers will enjoy a more open cabin and a soft blue sky overhead – simulated by LED lighting — among other added comforts.

Great ethiopian run
J I RO M U CH OZ I K I
On Nov. 24, 2013, the Great Ethiopian Run will draw 37,000 runners to the streets of Addis Ababa. The annual 10-kilometer (6-mile) race not only gains momentum as a contemporary tourist attraction in Addis, but it also holds its ground as the largest organized road race in all of Africa.

Around Addis A mass of 37,000 redT-shirt-wearing runners weaves through downtown Addis during the Great Ethiopian Run. Olympic gold medalist Haile Gebrselassie (at right) joins in for the festivities each year.
history of the race
The Great Ethiopian Run was co-founded in 2001 by Ethiopian distance runner Haile Gebrselassie, who's famous for his big smile and long record of victories — including two Olympic gold medals for the 10,000-meter distance. Now 40 years old and showing no signs of quitting, Gebrselassie continues to join the throngs every year.
Date: Sunday, Nov. 24, 2013 Distance: 10 kilometers Start time: 9 a.m. Fee: 140 birr (about US$7.50) To register: ethiopianrun.org Last year’s winners: For men: Hagos G/Hiowt, 28:37 For women: Aberu Kebede, 33:27

Why Run Over the years, the GER has raised millions of birr for international charities such as Concern and Orbis International, and partnered with United Nations Ethiopia to give to local charities. Plus, the race is known to be a lively, festive time, with bands and DJs stationed along the course.
Best Place to Catch the Action The GER loops through the streets of Addis, giving locals and visitors plenty of chances to watch the wave of runners sporting brightly colored T-shirts. The best spot for spectating, however, is near the start and finish line at Meskel Square, where warm-up activities and victory celebrations create quite a buzz.
How to Register Though there are at least 500 elite runners who participate, the GER is open to everyone: young and old, the serious and the casual, runners from Ethiopia and around the world. Local registration closed in July, but international runners can sign up until Nov. 14 at ethiopianrun.org.

Growing Agribusiness
The Rwandan government understands that to encourage a good thing to continue, it helps to reward it. After the country’s eighth agro exhibition, which took place in the northern village of Mulindi this past summer, the minister for trade and industry sent farmers back to their fields with a variety of business-boosting tools: tractors and equipment, motorcycles for mobility, even livestock. These perks were given to farmers with a proven record of innovation, all in an effort to stimulate and advance agribusiness.

On a Different Note
For the second time in history, Sir Winston Churchill is making an appearance on British currency. The historic figure — who made his debut on the 1965 5-shilling piece as the first commoner to grace a British coin — is now poised to appear on a £5 note that will enter circulation in 2016. True to that leader’s change-making persona, the release marks yet another first: Churchill will be the only politician from the modern era to be featured on a banknote. The Governor of the Bank of England’s prediction? “Perhaps the note itself will become known as a Winston.” Slimmer Smartphone
Chinese manufacturer Huawei’s recent smartphone release, the Ascend P6, is the most slender smartphone yet, with a profile that’s just 6 millimeters thick and a screen that even takes cues from gloved hands. Other features include a user-facing camera that produces higher-resolution “selfies” (5 megapixels as opposed to the iPhone 5’s 1.2) and a more affordable price tag than the iPhone. But will the model draw market share from Apple?

Camel’s milk, anyone? Long loved for their ability to transport people and cargo, camels are now further proving their worth with the rise in popularity of camel’s milk as a beverage. In more populated East African areas like Nairobi, camel’s milk is appearing in eateries and supermarkets, and even in milkshakes and cappuccinos. In rural and arid areas, the drink promises sustenance as well as an income boost for traveling herders. Good news for those willing to take a sip: The drink is chock-full of Vitamin C, B vitamins, iron and good fatty acids.

A bright idea
Water Ways
Ethiopia's latest energy project — The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam — is rushing forward after recent approvals by the country's parliament. Construction of the $4.7-billion hydroelectric dam is currently underway on the Blue Nile near the Sudan border. The dam will be the largest of its kind in Africa.
Off-grid, solar-energy-solutions company BBoxx got its unofficial start when three engineering students in London began supplying developing countries with solarpowered batteries. Met with success they garnered resources and launched BBoxx — a similar concept with expanded offerings such as rooftop solar systems for businesses and households. Better yet, the company follows a franchise model, working with members in local communities from Senegal to Sudan to provide not only energy but also employment.

Hotels + Hotspots
For those wanting to get close to Africa's big wildlife (think lions, cheetahs and hippos), Olare Mara Kempinski is the place to hunker down. Situated inside Kenya's Olare Orok Conservancy, the hotel is far from conventional. In fact, it's more like a high-style camp, made of 11 luxury tents plus a honeymoon suite with its own pool. Each tent is decked out with handsome African safari decor, a private bathroom and present-day amenities, with flaps that open to the views (and sounds) of the grassland.

Custommade by British company Gold & Co., the flashy tablets act like virtual personal concierges: Guests pick up an iPad when they check in and can consult the device to learn about the hotel’s menu of food, services and spa treatments. Though extravagant, perks like this match the price tag for a night’s stay, starting at US$1,500 for a double room.

Within view of São Paulo’s downtown skyline, Vai-Vai’s exotic drum-troupe queen leads the masses in rehearsing for the samba school’s annual Carnival parade. Nearby, a gathered crowd cheers on the sambistas (samba musicians) as they practice onstage.

It’s a warm Sunday night in São Paulo in early February, the week before Carnival. At the bottom of a hill in Bixiga, a historic downtown neighborhood, three men in matching black-and-white T-shirts are erecting a fence across an intersection. Outside the temporary perimeter, street-sellers arrive with boxes packed with cans of beer and bottles of water wedged between hunks of ice. Grills are lit and wisps of smoke start to drift across the street. Welcome to the headquarters and rehearsal ground of Vai-Vai, an 83-year-old institution devoted to samba, Carnival and community. Each year, Brazilians mark the beginning of the Christian Lenten season with a five-day Carnival 26

festival and a multitude of ornate, highly competitive parades. Carnival costumes, music and traditions vary across Brazil, but one thing is certain: Daily routines come to a halt for the festival’s duration. This particular evening has attracted hundreds of spectators who mill about the rehearsal ground buying cans of Brahma beer, fruity caipirinha cocktails and small skewers of grilled meat rolled in gritty farofa — toasted cassava meal. Over to one side, children are being lined up to practice their parade steps. As the drumming starts, the school’s respected elder women, the baianas, begin to sway in time.
Vai-Vai’s headquarters in Bixiga — a historic downtown neighborhood — serves as the samba school’s grounds for everything from float construction to rehearsals and community gatherings.
“Samba is of African origin, but today, Carnival doesn’t belong to the black community exclusively. Here in Bixiga, [our samba school has] people of Italian, Japanese, Portuguese descent, but they are all preserving African culture.” —Fernando Penteado, Vai-Vai’s director of harmony
Vai-Vai (meaning “Go-Go”) is one of hundreds of so-called “samba schools” spanning the length and breadth of Brazil. Known as escolas de samba in Portuguese, samba schools are community organizations that run events year-round, often holding open rehearsals in the run-up to Carnival for the purpose of both fundraising and community participation. It all culminates in the immense, spectacular parades that have become the face of Brazil’s Carnival — and indeed, of Brazil itself — worldwide. Rio de Janeiro’s Marquês de Sapucaí sambadrome is Brazil’s best-known parade ground, where the annual competitive processions attract thousands of spectators, plus millions more via TV. But not to be outdone by its rival city 360 kilometers (224 miles) away, São Paulo has a sambadrome too. There, over three nights each year, 22 samba schools — 14 premier-league schools plus 8 in the second division — compete in a series of highly competitive, all-singing, all-dancing Carnival parades. Glitter, feathers and — always — samba
Inside the sambadrome, there’s no such thing as “less is more.” Or to be more precise, too much is never enough. The gargantuan parade floats are loaded with paint, glitter and baubles and crowned by scores of smiling dancers, similarly dressed to impress (albeit scantily, in some cases). Each school’s parade features as many as 4,000 costumed marchers, who accompany the collection of lavishly decorated floats along the long, bleacher-lined avenue. Fernando Penteado, whose grandparents helped found Vai-Vai in 1930, is the samba school’s director of harmony, responsible for keeping Vai-Vai’s portion of the all-night parade running smoothly. His teams of “harmony” and “discipline” monitors patrol 28

Vai-Vai’s baianas — the school’s most respected elder women — spin their way through the avenue during the first night of São Paulo’s Carnival. Costumed marchers (at left) also accompany the school’s elaborate floats as members of the drum troupe keep the samba beat pumping.

the sidelines, discreetly exhorting the marchers to keep time, stay in line and — above all — keep singing their hearts out. “Samba is of African origin,” Penteado explains. “But today, Carnival doesn’t belong to the black community exclusively. Here in Bixiga, [our samba school has] people of Italian, Japanese, Portuguese descent, but they are all preserving African culture.” In each school’s parade, flag bearers twirl and spin along the avenue like lavishly plumed gods and goddesses; Carnival queens dot the processions like glittering butterflies; and at the heart of the noisy, gaudy, riveting spectacle, the samba school’s corps of drummers propels the floats and marchers forward to the beat of the batucada — the tight, powerful rhythm of the samba. To the casual observer, this might appear to be pure, unadulterated celebration. But to the samba schools, it’s the culmination of almost a year’s hard work — of endless planning and rehearsals, and of hundreds of hours spent creating and decorating floats and costumes, as carpenters, welders, sculptors and seamstresses come together with dancers, singers and organizers to make Carnival happen. It’s also an incredibly serious competition in which winning is everything. Márcio Paloschi serves as Vai-Vai’s artistic director. “It all comes down to the details,” he says. “Hundreds of them. We have to bear in mind the way the parade will look out there on the avenue, from up close and from far away — and also what it will look like on television. Carnival is very much made for TV.” This year, Vai-Vai is competing to be crowned champion for what would be the 15th time in its history. The schools are judged on everything from the flag-bearers’ flourishes to the time-keeping, and from the overall execution of the chosen theme to the song (a new song is produced by each school every year and belted out throughout the procession, incessantly, by the entire troupe). The finer points of the scoring system are all
“Vai-Vai is about so much more than just Carnival. We have big plans to increase our social projects among needy families and, given a bit more space, to open up a series of brand-new cultural projects.” —Darcy Silva, Vai-Vai’s president
but impossible to understand for outsiders, who are mostly content to stand in the bleachers and be dazzled by the kitsch magnificence of the whole thing, as it rumbles and sambas past. What’s easier to grasp, once you get a close-up glimpse, is the sense of community at the heart of it all. Bixiga was founded by Italian immigrants and ex-slaves and is still a stronghold of São Paulo’s black community. In fact, Bixiga’s Afro-Brazilian roots can be traced back to the 19th century and the Saracura quilombo — a community of fugitive slaves living on the banks of the now-buried Saracura Creek. In addition to lively rehearsals, held in the months leading up to Carnival, Vai-Vai runs neighborhood activities year-round. These include children’s dance and drumming classes, adult literacy and English lessons, and food and milk distribution projects for those in need. And on Saturday afternoons, the school hosts family-oriented fundraising feasts of Brazil’s most emblematic dish: a rich pork-andblack-bean stew called feijoada, served with rice. Bixiga’s tenuous future
Down on the rehearsal ground, Vai-Vai’s Sundaynight rehearsal is in full swing. In one area, samba musicians and a powerful singer lead the crowd in this year’s song, Sangue da Terra (“Blood of the Land”) — an homage to the sponsor, Wines of Brazil. Trying out their samba steps as they move through the crowd in a tight pack are 30 or so women clad in tight black dresses and dizzyingly high heels. Some will dance solo at the head of a “wing” of marchers
while others will samba on tiny podiums on Vai-Vai’s various floats. Although they perspire with the effort on this hot summer night, they stay smiling with a queenly benevolence, heads held high. There’s only one real queen at this rehearsal, though, and she’s the exquisitely beautiful Camila Silva, Vai-Vai’s rainha da bateria (drum-troupe queen) for the past five years. During the parade, the rainha’s job is to lead the massed drummers, responding to their powerful rhythms and thrilling the crowd with her smiles, flourishes, and burst of both charm and virtuoso samba dancing — all the more mesmerizing given the high heels, glittering costume and sculpted curves of glowing skin. Silva is generally agreed to have the most highly prized quality a rainha can have: samba no pé, an innate, unfaltering sense of samba in her feet. She presides over the rehearsal regally, sambaing for a few moments at the head of the drum troupe, then hanging back on the sidelines, bestowing smiles and kisses on wide-eyed children or posing for photos with nonchalant-acting young men. Silva’s husband and the president of Vai-Vai, Darcy Silva, leans against a podium nearby, watching the drum troupe and smoking a fat cigar. Besides the parade, Silva has a lot on his mind. He’s recently learned that despite the school’s deep roots in Bixiga, Vai-Vai’s days in the neighborhood are numbered: Its headquarters sit right in the path of a much-needed new line of São Paulo’s subway system. Since learning of the potential construction project, Vai-Vai members have been combing Bixiga for alternative locations, as desperate to stay in the neighborhood as many local residents are to keep it there. “Vai-Vai’s headquarters isn’t just any old place,” wrote the São Paulo architect and urban planner Raquel Rolnik in her influential blog, Habitat. “It’s an essential element in the important (and often invisible) presence of Afro-Brazilian culture in the city.” “We can’t imagine ourselves anywhere else,” said Fernando Penteado when the news emerged in January. “If we had to leave Bixiga, it would be like tearing our heart out.” But the area is heavily built up, like so much of São Paulo — a city whose skyline is a jumble of endless high-rises stretching to the horizon — and there are simply no suitable spaces available. A number of local samba schools have previously been granted premises by the city government, which sees them as an essential part of São Paulo culture. With that in mind, Vai-Vai has set its sights on Luz, another historic neighborhood close by. 32
selamtamagazine.com
The once-grand Luz has fallen on hard times over the past 20 years or more and is in desperate need of revitalization. There’s a sense at Vai-Vai that the school could both solve its imminent problem and help revive a troubled area. “Vai-Vai is about so much more than just Carnival,” says Darcy Silva. “We have big plans to increase our social projects among needy families and, given a bit more space, to open up a series of brand-new cultural projects.” Lights, camera, action
At the sambadrome on the night of February 8, Vai-Vai’s big moment has finally come. The troupe is primed in the holding area, ready to roll as final touches are added to the floats. The merendeiros — teams of men who push the motorless floats along the avenue — brace themselves as the floats’ lights are switched on, costumes are adjusted and showbiz smiles are plastered onto everyone’s faces. As the school sets out along the 530-meter-long avenue, Vai-Vai’s theme unspools with a series of tableaux straight out of a children’s coloring book: a Middle-Ages grape harvest, Cleopatra’s banquet for Marcus Antonius, and the biblical miracle of water turned into wine. In the latter section, a float in the shape of a goblet features white-clad women who enter on one side and men in wine-colored costumes who emerge on the other. For most of the participants, the parade is everything they have dreamed of, and the school’s members are upbeat after performing. But at the results ceremony a few nights later, Vai-Vai learns that it has placed a disappointing seventh out of the 14 top-tier schools — its worst result since 2004. But Vai-Vai’s members pick themselves up again, ready to swing into the preparations and challenges of next year, including the imminent exit from Bixiga. “If we have to leave, our goal is to be installed in our new home in time for the World Cup,” says Darcy Silva, referring to the football tournament scheduled to kick off in São Paulo in June 2014. So who knows: One Sunday night in June next year, Vai-Vai might just find itself dancing in a new neighborhood in a brand-new home, sambaing to the beat as the whistle blows for kick-off inside the city’s new football stadium. Whatever happens, though, one thing is certain: Vai-Vai looks set to be around, and at the heart of São Paulo’s Carnival culture, for many years to come.

In Israel, most meals include salat katzutz — a salad of chopped fresh vegetables. At breakfast, the salad is accompanied by eggs, olives, cheese, and fresh bread or pita, served with various spreads such as hummus, labneh and baba ganoush. Many families eat communally, dipping into shared bowls of the spreads and other sides.

In many parts of the world, crĂŞpes are a snack or dessert. But in South India, crĂŞpe-like pancakes called dosas are traditionally served at breakfast. Made from a fermented batter of rice and black lentils (or urad dal), dosas are thin and crispy. When filled with a curried potato mix, they are known as masala dosa (shown here). Another common breakfast food is idli, a soft, steamed cake also made from fermented rice and lentils. Both dosas and idlis are dipped in sides like fresh coconut chutney and sambar, a piquant, coriander-infused vegetable broth, then served alongside frothy South Indian coffee.

The breakfast meal in Ethiopia varies from region to region, but it usually consists of a grain-based dish flavored with berbere (a complex blend of chile peppers, ginger, fenugreek and other spices). One particularly hearty Ethiopian breakfast dish is chechebsa (meaning “broken” in the Oromo language) — a combination of small pieces of fried flatbread doused with nit’ir qibe (a clarified butter that’s simmered with fenugreek, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, cinnamon and sometimes nutmeg before straining). Chechebsa might be served with honey and yogurt, as well as a steaming cup of macchiato.

Nigerians enjoy heavy breakfasts, such as egg stew, a particular favorite in Lagos. Scrambled eggs are cooked in palm oil (a dark red oil made from the nuts of a palm tree) with diced tomatoes, onions and green peppers. Served alongside sweet, fried plantains and washed down with fresh pineapple juice, this meal keeps diners full for hours and then yearning for more. Many people who have spent time in Nigeria say that once you’ve been there, everything else — food and life — just seems a bit bland.

One of the most popular breakfasts in China is called “century egg and lean pork congee” (in Chinese, that’s 皮蛋瘦 肉粥 or pidan shourou zhou). Congee is a rice porridge, and the century egg is the product of a unique curing process believed to have been accidentally discovered in the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644). Today, century eggs are usually duck eggs that have been cured for about 100 days in a concoction that includes lime, tea and salt. For this breakfast dish, the eggs are shelled and diced, then cooked with shredded pork, scallion and ginger and added to the rice porridge.

Many Ghanaian meals are heavy on starch, with dishes like fufu or gari (both made from cassava) accompanying a sauce or soup. For breakfast, starch takes center stage in the form of fried cassava chips — similar to french fries but a bit more dense. The star fruit is in season most of the year — the greener the fruit, the more tart, so the yellow variety is usually sweet (but with an edge). Drinking coconut milk straight from the coconut is refreshing enough that you might skip morning coffee. 40

BURUNDI investment made easy
I
n 2011, reforms began in the way businesses operate in Burundi. Since then, the government of Bururndi has initiated and implemented reforms to improve the business climate. These reforms have advanced the country’s economy. According to an annual assessment by the Internation Finance Corporation of the World Bank, Burundi’s economy went from ranking 180th to 159th based on ease in doing business. Burundi ranked seventh in 2012 and fifth in 2013 among the countries with the most reforms. The constant and continuous improvement of all Doing Business indicators is of great importance to the Government of Burundi. The reforms are undertaken on all of the indicators namely: starting a business, protecting investors, registering property, dealing with construction permits, paying taxes, trading across borders, getting electricity, resolving insolvency and getting credit. For all these indicators, procedures, time and costs have been significantly reduced for the investor’s benefit; The creation of a company is done in one day, in a single procedure (one-stop shop) and at a cost of 42 500 BIF (equivalent to 27 US dollars). Among the major reforms initiated in 20122013 are the reinforcement of one-stop shop for business start-ups through digitalization, the establishment of three one- stop shops for building permits granting, ownership transfer and medium-voltage electricity connection. In addition to the reforms carried out on the Doing Business indicators, the new investment code offers attractive opportunities and guarantees
the protection of investors’ interests. The following may be mentioned as examples: • Exemption from tax transfer on the acquisition of land and buildings; • Imports of raw materials and equipment goods valued at 0%; • Exemption from advance payment of VAT (18%) on imported investment goods of at least 500 million BIF (about 350,000 U.S. dollars), • A corporate tax credit of 37% of the total value of depreciable property purchased for the implementation of an investment project; • A tax reduction of 2% and 5% respectively for companies employing between 50 and 200 and more than 200 people. These different reforms have been put in place in order to make the business climate attractive for foreign investors as well Burundian ones so that they invest in the many opportunities available in Burundi in many areas of social and economic development such as: agriculture, energy, mining, tourism, transport infrastructures, hotel facilities, the Information and Communication Technology, services, agro-processing industry, health, education, etc.. Thanks to the continuous improvement of the business climate, the multiple investment opportunities in many areas and the hospitality of the Burundian people, Burundi remains one of the best destinations for business and investment.

The Rise of African Architecture The continent’s talents are speaking up.

he mention of 20th-century architecture brings to mind Europeans such as Le Corbusier and Antonio Gaudí, or Americans such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Frank Gehry. The 21st century sees a more international crew, including Shigeru Ban from Japan, Moshe Safdie from Israel and Wang Shu from China. But where is Africa in architecture’s hall of fame? Powerful colonial influences, coupled with a history of political and economic turmoil, left the people of Africa with less time to ponder the aesthetics and ergonomics of houses, malls and skyscrapers. But the tide is turning. According to Tanzanian-born British architect David Adjaye, a growing number of organizations, architectural contests and architects themselves are placing African architecture on the world’s stage. “Through initiatives such as these — awards, events and peer group support,” Adjaye says, “this decade will see a striking new horizon for African architecture and its global impact.”
The history of African architecture In the 1940s and ’50s, experiments in architecture and urban planning were carried out across the African continent, but mostly by Western architects such as Le Corbusier and Aldo van Eyck, who were particularly influential in the creation of mass housing schemes in Morocco and Algeria. When African nations started gaining independence, between the 1950s and ’80s, colonizers used “International Style” to show their good intentions of leading colonies toward the future. This style is a
modernist approach developed in Europe and America in the 1920s and ’30s and is characterized by the use of concrete, steel and minimal ornamentation. In May 1981, the new African Union of Architects began uniting architects of all races, religions and nationalities across the continent. Other national architect associations and action networks — such as Adventurers in Diaspora, Casamémoire, Doual’art and ArchiAfrika — were created to stimulate the debate on the quality of the built environment and the value of Africa’s artistic and architectural heritage. With the fast pace of economic growth in Africa from 2000 to 2008, these organizations kept a concerned eye on valuable architectural assets in African cities — the historical buildings in the city center of Dar es Salaam, for example, and the National Museum in Ghana. Architects and academics alike within the continent began paying more attention to the buildings in their countries. “Up to now, important projects on the continent were designed by foreign architects,” says Jean Charles Tall, architect and founder of the College Universitair d’Architecture de Dakar. “When you go to a bookshop, even in Africa,” he continues, “all the books written on African architecture are written by people from outside of the continent, with an anthropologist perspective or for tourists.” So Tall is urging further discussion and research about architecture across Africa. Forums of discussion between practicing architects, students and academics, he says, will allow this generation to further voice its own opinion and move African architecture onto the global stage. september/october 2013

Increasing awareness through dialogue

Encouraging the rise of indigenous architecture across the continent is ArchiAfrika, an organization founded in 2001 as a platform to put African architecture on the world map. ArchiAfrika offers an online forum for the exchange of news and expertise in the region, and initiates and facilitates research, projects, and conferences. In addition to ArchiAfrika’s influence, there are now more than 50 universities in Africa offering architecture programs, and students are approaching the discipline with greater confidence. Up till now, architecture in Africa was driven primarily by the Bauhaus principal of functionality, but today’s architects are much more innovative, incorporating sustainability and intelligent aesthetics into their designs. One such professional is Burkinabé architect Diébédo Francis Kéré, 48. Kéré’s first project — a primary school in eastern Burkina Faso, built when Kéré was still a student at the Technical University of Berlin — was designed on the principles of climatic comfort and keeping construction costs low. Kéré used local construction materials such as compressed earth blocks and metal shutters to create a streamlined, contemporary form that is often observed in modern German architecture. “I think that giving value to traditional building techniques,” Kéré says, “is the way we can unite tradition and modernity.”
Consider climate and topography Part of generating new concepts involves appreciating historic architecture. Countries with stronger economies may have more noteworthy modern buildings, yet places such as Mali and Ethiopia have much to offer in the way of traditional heritage buildings — like the mud mosque of
Djenné and the rock churches of Lalibela. As the birthplace of dozens of ancient civilizations, Africa enjoys a rich and varied artistic heritage that has informed modern European artistic techniques as well. Twentieth-century artists such as Picasso and Modigliani were inspired by the lines and forms of tribal masks and sculptures. European architects Le Corbusier and Theo Van Doesburg used well-organized geometric and cubical forms from African art in their works. One of the earliest African architects to value the continent’s artistic wealth is Pierre Goudiaby Atepa, former president of the Association of Architects of Senegal and a pivotal figure of African architecture during the 1970s and ’80s. Atepa’s most well-known projects include Dakar’s Millennium Gate, Gambia’s Banjul airport and the bank of the Economic Community of West African States in Lomé, Togo. “I don’t want to bring Africa into modernity,” Atepa says, “but rather to use modernity with what is profoundly African in order to create a kind of symbiosis, or metissage, in architecture.” At 66, Atepa says he’ll have to think about taking a rest soon. But he is “sure that the new generation will revolutionize modern African architecture.” Indeed, this new generation has already stepped up. David Adjaye, 47, attained international fame for such works as the Nobel Peace Centre in Oslo, Norway, and the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C. He has published numerous books on African architecture and says he learns something every time he goes to a new place — whether it’s a slum community like Kibera in Nairobi or the business district of Luanda. september/october 2013

oguaa football for hope centre Cape Coast, Ghana Joe Osae-Addo
Homeward bound This growth in contemporary African architecture has led several distinguished African architects who have lived and worked overseas to return to their home countries. The most well-known is Ghanaian Joe Osae-Addo, 42, who moved back to Accra in 2004. Although Osae-Addo had run a thriving architectural practice in Los Angeles, he hoped to better align himself with his beliefs on sustainability, and Ghana was the place to do so. At that time, most urban homes in Accra, the capital of a former British colony, were concrete-block houses made with imported English Portland cement. Dissatisfied with this drab approach to living, OsaeAddo was determined to find ways to build his home with locally sourced materials. “I wanted to explore ideas of light, 48

As a result, OsaeAddo designed his home to stand 3 feet off the ground on a wooden deck, so that under-floor breezes would cool the space naturally. He also incorporated slattedwood screens and floor-to-ceiling jalousie windows for cross-ventilation. “Interstitial spaces and landscape are what define tropical architecture,” he says. “It is not about edifice but rather harnessing the elements — trees, wind, sun and water — to create harmony, not the perfection that modernism craves so much.” Osae-Addo applied these sustainable building principles to other projects, too, such as the Oguaa Football for Hope Centre in Cape Coast, Ghana, which was constructed with reclaimed scaffolding, donated shipping containers, and indigenous bamboo and adobe bricks. “Africa is not just a place of inspiration,” he says, “but a place to live, grow and create.”
The new African architect “The next generation of architects is our future,” Osae-Addo says. “They have all the tools and technologies at their disposal and a growing awareness of their own roots. The old guard must recognize this and nurture and support them. Atepa shares Osae-Addo’s focus on the next generation, believing that all Africans, no matter where they live, should participate in the development of African architecture. “The wealth of tomorrow is in Africa,” he wrote in a June 2008 interview with the African art blog Unseen Art Scene. ”I received everything from Africa. So I must give something back. . . . Africa is the cradle of art. If African architects succeed one day in making the symbiosis between African art and modern architecture, the result will be magnificent.”

“Within the context of [world] environmental challenges,” he says, “the building practices of traditional African architecture offer some useful lessons in working with climate, topography and cultivating a sense of place.” For example, as he explained in an August 2012 interview with Architectural Record: “You can’t understand Africa until you realize that it has six extraordinary geographic zones — each one very precise and extreme. In the northwest you have the Maghreb, then to the east you have the desert, and to the south the Sahel, which is between the desert and the forest. Other parts of the continent are forestlands or savanna or the mountains. “Each place, of course, has its own particularities, but culture grows from climate. . . . How do you respond to this extreme climate and make an architecture that becomes African?”

The people of Ethiopia’s Omo River Valley.
Heralded as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980, southwestern Ethiopia's Omo River Valley is celebrated for its deep roots as well as its cultural diversity. The river nurtures and sustains a way of life for a wide variety of wildlife and at least eight distinct people groups. These valley dwellers speak six unique languages, and for thousands of years, these tribes have preserved and practiced the rituals of their ancestors. Images by SebastiĂŁo Salgado

Rituals create a vibrant rhythm of life in the Omo Valley. Among the Surma men (below), artistic scars and elaborate body painting distinguish the bravest warriors. Mursi women occasionally display their beauty with lip-plates made of clay and spanning up to 15 centimeters (almost 6 inches) in diameter. For the Hamar, elaborate, centuriesold coming-of-age ceremonies depend upon the cattle that are essential to their way of life.

In this land of baking heat and torrential, intermittent rains, centuries of survival have depended upon adapting to the whims of the Omo River. Formerly nomadic herdsmen, the Surma now largely depend upon subsistence cultivation of sorghum and maize. Yet they also have a fearsome reputation as warriors.

The Arts
According to Alice Wong, this southern Chinese city that she calls home has always drawn worldwide notice. Yet for centuries, that recognition was for commerce and trade, definitely not art. Things are changing, however. The Guangzhou native manages and curates the creative art space that is drawing crowds and bringing new recognition to the 2,200-year-old city. Wong works in an orange brick building decorated with paintings of Campbell’s soup cans — a nod to Andy Warhol’s famous work, except that these say “Redtory” where the contents would be. Just like Warhol shook up the art world decades ago, launching his own factory as an artist collective in New York City, Redtory promotes a fledgling arts scene in southern China.
Shipping crates and industrial interiors (top right) reflect the area’s past. Prior to Redtory’s renovations, this site was home to one of Asia’s largest cannedfood factories.

The location has ample historical flavor: Half a century ago, this was the office space for one of Asia’s largest canning factories — Guangzhou Eagle Coin. Once renowned for its tangy black bean sauce, the former canning site now anchors an entire district of stark, Soviet-style brick buildings being renovated as galleries, shops, artist residences and workshops. But the name Redtory denotes more than an area of Guangzhou; it’s also the overarching culture and arts organization, established in 2009, that’s behind it all. The organization’s goal is to showcase top Chinese and overseas exhibits, as well as nurture what is admittedly a nascent but energetic local creative culture. There is also a wonderful preservation dividend: protecting a piece of the city’s rich past.

Some factories at Redtory date back even further than the 1950s, reflecting Guangzhou’s role as one of China’s oldest international trading centers. In 2009, architectural firms and local artists spearheaded a drive to protect the district. The idea to develop abandoned industrial areas into art parks was pioneered by Beijing’s famed art district, known as 798. Other similar art areas have recently sprouted across the Middle Kingdom, as Chinese art commands record prices at auctions worldwide. Redtory was granted authority over more than five dozen brick buildings in Tianhe District, across the river from Guangzhou’s Pazhou Exhibition Center. The grounds also feature a collection of old canning equipment and modern sculpture that makes it a magnet for sightseers and young photography students. One of China’s most famous contemporary artists, the late painter Wu Guanzhong, is featured in a permanent exhibit organized by the Tsinghua University Wu Guanzhong Art Research Center. Drawing on a collection of more than 100 pieces, the exhibition also features video programs that explain Wu’s life and work. Recent Redtory exhibits include showcasing the Guangzhou-focused drawings

and sketches of Wang Shouzhi and the photographs of Wang Gang, who travels widely around China to shoot scenes of everyday life. Redtory also endeavors to offer a local window on the international art scene. Last October, video artist Marty St. James was featured in a British-supported show, and in November, Redtory showcased a number of Chinese and Dutch painters, photographers and visual artists. While Guangzhou may not boast the artistic community of Beijing or Shanghai, Redtory’s spacious grounds and galleries are popular with tourists from Hong Kong, two hours away. Wong oversees ongoing collaborations with Hong Kong arts and culture organizations. Visitors enjoy shopping at a variety of boutiques as well as at 360°, an enormous café-library-design showroom. In addition to shopping for handbags, clothing and household items by Chinese designers, visitors are welcome to browse books while sipping coffee or soup. But while there are dozens of shops, several cafés and a colorful street market displaying everything from traditional calligraphy to Chinese-style iPhone cases, Wong insists that Redtory puts culture before commerce. Many of 798’s critics

complain that commercialization of that Beijing district has eroded its artistic and historical allure. Redtory doesn’t want to go down that road. “We want the shops to stay mainly in the areas of art and design,” Wong says. “We are devoted to art and preservation.” Overlooked for arts and culture in recent decades, Redtory mines the rich history of this commercial city, creating an atmospheric district that rivals any across Asia. —Ron Gluckman has been covering China for more than two decades, writing for publications including Time, the Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Travel & Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler.

Thinking Inside the Box

D
ario D’Angeli was a popular and successful Johannesburg chef back in 2007 when he decided to take a big risk. He sold Yum, his praised Asianfusion restaurant, and began a global tour of 50 of the world’s best eateries. “I wanted to do away with standing on a line and cooking the same items over and over,” D’Angeli says. He crisscrossed North America and Europe on his three-month taste journey, visiting such kitchens as The French Laundry in California’s Napa Valley and The Fat Duck in Berkshire (U.K.). When he returned to South Africa, he was inspired to create a tasting kitchen — an intimate restaurant with a fixed menu of many small plates, where the chefs personally introduce each dish to each table. “We were going to make the focus on the plates [of food],” says D’Angeli, a stocky 40-year-old who stands tall and talks fast, “and have a very monochromatic dining space, so that there was very little sensory influence other than the food.” Still, he wasn’t 100-percent convinced the idea would succeed in Johannesburg: The city wasn’t known to have an appetite for sophisticated eateries.

Despite his hesitation, he opened Cube — named in honor of the restaurant’s boxy look — in 2010 and quickly learned just how wrong his initial assumptions had been. As it turns out, Johannesburg was perfectly primed for such an innovative restaurant, and Cube quickly became known as one of the foodie destinations in the city. Reports “Eatout,” one of the country’s largest food guides: “This is more scintillating food experience . . . than mere degustation, offering never-ending food pleasures.” “It’s an incredibly niche way to dine,” says Justine Drake, director of Taste Festivals South Africa, an annual festival held in Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban, showcasing the cities’ finest foods and chefs. “You don’t get that kind of caliber of food often in Johannesburg.” Cube is sandwiched between an Indian restaurant and a kitschy antique

restaurant is not licensed, so diners are invited to bring their own beer or wine; wine suggestions are offered ahead of time, when reservations are made. Some of South Africa’s best restaurants are similarly set up as tasting kitchens. The Test Kitchen in Woodstock and The Tasting Room in Franschhoek regularly appear on Africa’s top-10 lists, but they’re in the south. Cube is one of the first of its kind in the north, billing itself as an accessible option compared to its pricier contemporaries. The arrangement is working. “As it turns out, people are doing my advertising for me,” D’Angeli says. “[They] say it’s an experience they never had before.” The menu is stocked with crowd pleasers. A savory duck dish with foie gras and caramel is addictive, and a hearty chicken plate with green-chili chutney is tamed by a smooth, sweet corn custard. Chefs wearing blue-and-white pin-striped aprons introduce each plate to the table. The presentation provokes almost as much of a reaction as the taste. An

On a Thursday evening, the 30-seat restaurant is filled to capacity with clean-cut men in plaid shirts and women in cocktail dresses. “Cube is not your typical Joburg institution,” says Andanté Wiehahn, coowner of Lekkerbek, a culinary store in Johannesburg, “but Joburgers are very open to new experiences and have just been loving the Cube concept.” If conversation is food for the soul, then Cube is a church, featuring a tasting menu of 10 to 12 courses that diners review, debate and relish. (The restaurant suggests a “three hours minimum” dining time.) The plates are influenced heavily by molecular gastronomy — green onion comes as a pale green rectangular sponge and a rusk (a dry biscuit ubiquitous in South Africa) as a golden powder. The

By plate nine, a dessert of macadamia shortbread and basil milk, the room is buzzing. “I’m going to bring half of Pretoria here,” says a young man wearing a deeply cut white T-shirt. “This is good,” he says, “this is fantastic.” D’Angeli likes to say that when he retires, he’s going to open a tin prawn shack by the Indian Ocean in Mozambique. Yet, from the looks of the full restaurant and the pleasedas-punch faces of his diners, it doesn’t appear such a dream will be happening any time soon. He’s too busy living this one. —Stephanie Findlay is a Canadian journalist, living in Johannesburg.

Canal Saint-Martin The “Little Venice” of Paris. |

n Victor Hugo’s day, the Bohemian hub of Paris was Montmartre. By Picasso’s time, penniless musicians and painters flocked to Montparnasse. Both are still historic neighborhoods — one marked by the Basilica of SacreCoeur and the other by its panoramic view of the city as well as the Catacombs. But today, for a charming introduction to a quartier where striving artists and young, hip professionals can still afford to live and work, take a leisurely trip down Canal Saint-Martin. It’s a little bit of Venice in Paris. A boat ride through the canal lasts 2½ hours and travels from the historically immigrant periphery in the 19th arrondissement (district) to the seventh, at the center of town. Two companies offer boat rides along the canal: Paris Canal and Canauxrama. Both make multiple departures a day, but it’s Paris Canal’s trip starting at La Villette that provides the best value: It’s a two-forone, beginning with a tour of the canal and ending with one of the Seine River, including incredible views of such iconic sights as the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame Cathedral, as well as lesser-known ones like the ultra-modern Fashion Museum. Local guidebooks caution that the boat ride might be too slow to hold a child’s attention, but everyone from toddlers to the elderly seems entertained — gasping at the gush and splash of water as the boat drops down through the lochs and being charmed by passersby who wave and throw kisses from the pedestrian bridges. The trip begins at La Villette — the enormous, futuristic complex that includes museums, performance spaces and a large, kid-friendly park. This former industrial area — now full of converted lofts, cinemas, bookshops and hostels — shows how a historic, iconic city like Paris can still be dynamic and open to change. The boat’s tour guide offers a lively, sometimes fantastical stream of history and trivia about the canal and the city, first in French and followed in English. As the boat passes the Hotel du Nord,
Visitors strolling the canal on foot can enjoy a typical Parisian breakfast at one of the area’s popular bistros.

he tells the story of Marcel Carné’s 1938 classic film of the same name. He croons a few snippets of Edith Piaf’s lyrics mentioning the canal and narrates scenes from the 2001 hit movie Amélie in which she skips stones in its lochs. He also explains that — like so many aspects of modern Paris — the history of the canal is connected to Napoleon. At the beginning of the 19th century, the emperor supervised the Canal Saint-Martin’s construction to alleviate congestion along the Seine and provide fresh drinking water to the residents of Paris.

modern jazz club in a boat, featuring a mix of up-and-coming and established French talent. And in July and August, just above Place de Stalingrad — where the canal widens — the banks of the Seine are filled with sand, beach chairs, rowboats and sunbathing Parisians, as part of “Paris Plages” (Paris beaches). From there, the canal starts on its way down to Place de la Bastille (where the Bastille prison stood until it was stormed during the French Revolution) to the Seine. On Sundays, a section of the street abutting the canal is closed to cars and packed with locals strolling, skating, biking or shopping the flea markets. Visitors wandering the canal by foot can stop and enjoy one of the many popular bistros in the area. But one of the best reasons to travel by boat is the 2-kilometer (almost 1¼ mile) underground tunnel, illuminated by skylights, that runs between La Republique and La Bastille. Pedestrians can’t experience this part of the canal (it was paved over in 1848 to allow troops easy access to rioters who had taken refuge on the canal’s east side), so it feels like a secret passageway, mysterious and magical. The
gray concrete walls, sloped like a grand archway, are covered with moss, and stray wildflowers poke through cracks. The street signs from before the paving remain. The boat travels through nine lochs from beginning to end, dropping 3 meters (almost 10 feet) at each loch for a total of 27 meters. Drama heightens at the last, where the slow, narrow canal meets the wide-open Seine. After almost an hour on the Seine, shuttling under bridges bedecked with cherubs or lovers’ padlocks, the boat docks next to the Musée d’Orsay. Built in the former Orsay railway station, the museum is a work of art in itself, housing a worldclass collection of impressionist paintings. For the perfect finale, passengers might peek inside at Alfred Sisley’s famous 1870 landscape of the Canal Saint-Martin, if they haven’t yet quenched their thirst for the Parisian water experience. —Sharon Harrigan has published more than three dozen essays, short stories and articles. When not floating around Paris, she is in her office across from the Catacombs, seeking inspiration from the great artists who lived here before. september/october 2013

Transformation Takes Root A new vision for agriculture in Ethiopia. |
A
t the beginning of the millennium, a drought emergency put millions of lives at risk across parts of Africa. So in 2003, African Heads of States met in Maputo, Mozambique, and pledged to allocate 10 percent of their budgets to agriculture by 2008. (That commitment was designed to put African countries on track to reach the first Millennium Development Goal — cutting poverty and hunger in half by 2015.) Yet consider this: Long before the Maputo Declaration, since the mid-1990s in fact, Ethiopia has been consistently

allocating 14-16 percent of its annual budget to agriculture, determined that agriculture should drive all other sectors of development*. During what would become his last open public engagement — the May 2012 Symposium on Global Agriculture and Food Security — the late Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said that “Ethiopia has for a very long period been a poster child of everything that has gone wrong in Africa in terms of food security.” Yet that trend, Meles noted, is changing. One key to the change is how major companies are working more and more

closely with smallholder farmers, from input supply all the way to facilitating a reliable market for their outputs. And facilitating this relationship between smallholder farmers and larger corporations is an organization the late Prime Minister himself created and championed: the Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency. ATA got its start in January 2009 when Meles requested that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation embark on a strategic review of Ethiopia’s current agricultural extension system, which is part of the Ministry of Agriculture.
The Foundation eventually recommended the establishment of an independent organization to accelerate agricultural transformation, modeled after similar organizations in other countries. ATA was born in December 2010. Ethiopia’s agricultural extension system is now one of the largest in the world, with more than 60,000 development agents. Every village is assigned three specialists — in crop technologies, livestock, and soil and natural-resource management. These three individuals are based out of one of nearly 10,000 farmer-training centers throughout the country’s nine regions — each containing a demonstration plot (usually 2-3 hectares) for showcasing different types of technologies. In its role as catalyst for Ethiopia’s farmers, ATA has also started forging new commercial opportunities. In 2012 ATA partnered with the Purchase for Progress initiative of the World Food Programme, linking 16 cooperative unions to supply 30,000 metric tons of maize for WFP activities — the largest-ever WFP procurement from farmer cooperatives. The ATA is researching how to promote similar arrangements across several crops including wheat, teff, maize, chickpea and sesame.
In fact, the row-planting method for growing teff — source cereal of the country’s staple food, injera — has been increasingly adopted by farmers at faster than imaginable speeds. Hailu Balcha, 33, has been farming teff for 14 years in Katina village, Oromia Region, on a plot that was a wedding gift from his father. When agricultural extension workers introduced him to new seed and the rowplanting methods, he declared the resultant increase in his farm’s yield to be a miracle. “It shocked me,” he says. Hailu’s response has been repeated across the country. “In our first year,” explains Khalid Bomba, CEO of ATA, “we worked with only two farmers under irrigation. In this, our third year, we’ll be working with 2 million.” Running a locally efficient model in as agro-ecologically diverse and complex a country as Ethiopia takes leadership that mixes international experience with knowledge of the county. Most of ATA’s leadership team eagerly returned to Ethiopia from prominent positions outside the country. Ethiopian-born Khalid, for example, is a graduate of the London School of Economics who formerly served within the Agricultural Development Group at
the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Yohannes Tilahun, head of the Public Private Partnership Unit, explains his decision to return from the United States after holding senior management positions with several major U.S. financial firms: “The fact that Ethiopia is one of the top-five fastestgrowing economies in the world shows you that something is going right. “So you have three choices in the movement of this fast-moving train: You can be at the tail, you can be at the head or you can end up on the side doing nothing.” Khalid is confident that in the next three to five years, under the leadership of the Ministry of Agriculture, ATA will have helped make food security a reality in Ethiopia — to the extent that the country will start exporting not only raw materials but also processed foods to international markets. Drawing from his own experience, Yohannes has one call to potential investors and partners: “Come and see Ethiopia’s agricultural promise. Come and be at the head of this fast-moving train.” *According to Khalid Bomba, CEO of the Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency, agriculture accounts for 45 percent of Ethiopia’s GDP and almost 90 percent of its exports.
Every single village is assigned three specialists — in crop technologies, livestock, and soil and natural-resource management.

Ways to Get Outdoors in Singapore By Can dace Rose R ard o n
State-of-the-art skyscrapers and sprawling shopping malls may be the first images that come to mind when thinking about Singapore, but that doesn’t mean your entire stay must be spent indoors. Here are five ways to get outside and stay active in this buzzing Southeast Asian city — a new Ethiopian Airlines destination:
cycle along East Coast Beach
test your treetop talents with Forest Adventure See the city from new heights at Forest Adventure, a treetop obstacle course built in the 3-hectare Bedok Reservoir Park. The Grand Course includes 2½ hours worth of swinging trapezes, balance-testing logs and more — plus four giant zip lines that will send you sailing across the reservoir itself.
Hike the Pulau Ubin Tree Trail
To glimpse traditional Singaporean villages (or kampungs), venture to the small, rustic island of Pulau Ubin, set just off the city’s northeastern coast. Catch a river taxi, called a bumboat, from the Changi Point Ferry Terminal (US$2.50 one-way) and, once there, stretch your legs on the island’s Tree Trail, lined with jackfruit, banana, durian, cocoa and oil palm trees, among others. 66

Explore the singapore ZOO
Home to more than 300 species comprising 2,800 animals, the 26-hectare Singapore Zoo is worth a visit for that reason alone, but Selamta readers might be especially interested in a zone replicating Ethiopia’s Great Rift Valley. Rugged landscapes, prototypes of Konso and Amharic villages, and a colony of more than 90 hamadryas baboons will have you thinking you’ve left Asia behind for East Africa.
Wakeboard in the johor strait
Kick your adrenaline up another notch from behind a speedboat, riding its wake while strapped onto a fiberglass board being pulled by the boat. Head to the Marina Country Club, where you can rent a boat and driver and begin carving your way through the Johor Strait, the channel of water between Singapore and Malaysia.

For the perfect place to spend an afternoon, head to East Coast Park, where local families barbecue, camp and simply catch a breeze from the city’s humid heat. Covering more than 185 hectares (450 acres), the park also encompasses 9 miles of coastline looking south toward Indonesia — coastline that is great for exploring on two wheels. Pick up a bicycle from several rental shops inside the park and roll along its peaceful, palm-lined paths.

ine years after Before Sunset, their highly regarded sequel to Before Sunrise, Oscar nominated director Richard Linklater reteams with two-time Oscar nominee Ethan Hawke and Oscar nominee Julie Delpy for Before Midnight, which finds their characters together raising twin daughters. Jesse attempts to maintain a relationship with Hank, his teenage son from his first marriage, but their bond is strained even though Hank has just spent the summer with his dad and stepfamily. Meanwhile, Celine must make a difficult decision about her career. As with the previous film, Linklater shares screenplay credit with both actors from the movies, Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy. R / 108 minutes / Ethan Hawke, Julie Delpy, Seamus Davey-Fitzpatrick
