From the Group CEO
Welcome Aboard Dear Esteemed Customers, Welcome Aboard!
ውድ ክቡራን ደንበኞቻችን፣ ከእኛ ጋር ለመብረር እንኳን ደህና መጣችሁ!
On behalf of all my colleagues at Ethiopian Airlines, allow me, first of all, to wish you and your loved ones a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous 2019. As we turn the page on 2018, let me thank each and every one of you for the confidence you keep placing in Ethiopian. In 2018, beyond the prestigious accolades we have received such as the SKYTRAX or African Airlines Association Best African Airline of the Year awards, it is the fact that you flew with us in ever great numbers that gives us the most satisfaction. We carried more passengers than ever before, topping the 10 million mark, and Addis Ababa has overtaken Dubai as the main gateway for long haul travel to and from Africa. This remarkable achievement could not have been attained without your patronage. All 16,000 + of my colleagues and I pledge to continuously enhance our product and service offerings and to better serve your travel needs during this holiday season and throughout 2019. In the year ahead, we have many exciting things in store for you, with new destinations, new and modern aircraft, new facilities and new service features. We will continue with our aircraft technology leadership in the continent with the introduction of new Boeing 787s, Airbus 350s, Boeing 737-Maxs to support our fast expanding network in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Undoubtedly, the most important novelty will be the full opening of our expanded brand new terminal at our main hub in Addis Ababa. Over the last 8 years, Ethiopian grew almost fourfold in all key parameters such as passenger number, fleet size, number of destinations and revenue. Naturally, this very rapid growth has put serious strains on our customer service delivery at our main hub and we sincerely apologize if our on-ground service has not always been to your expectation due to the facility limitations. But all of this is about to change with the inauguration of our expanded brand new terminal with a capacity of 22 million passerngers per annum containing all the amenities and services you have come to rightly expect from a 21st century global hub airport. Another infrastructure that is slated for completion in January 2019 is our brand new 5 Star Ethiopian Skylight Hotel. It is located within a 5 minutes walking distance from the airport. It will be the biggest hotel in Addis with 373 rooms and will have the biggest conference hall in the city able to accommodate 2,500 guests at once. It will offer to all our customers attractive and affordable tour packages through our in-house tour operations department, ET-Holidays. Our efforts to greatly enhance your on-ground experience have been significantly boosted by the new measures introduced by the Ethiopian Government allowing all African and international passengers to secure visa online and/or at arrival at Addis Ababa airport. I wish to extend my appreciation to the Ethiopian Government for this visionary measure and for all its support to the growth of aviation sector. Lastly, I invite you to visit Ethiopia during this holiday season and witness its unique and colorful Epiphany celebrations taking place on January 19.

The Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank Fostering Trade, Regional Economic Integration and Sustainable Development
E
stablished in 1985, the Eastern and Southern African Trade and Development Bank (TDB), formerly the PTA Bank, is a multilateral, treaty-based development financial institution, with assets of over US$ 5 billion. The Bank’s mandate is to finance and foster trade, regional economic integration and sustainable development through trade finance, project and infrastructure finance, asset management and business advisory services.
Equipped with a strong performance ethic, TDB continues to evolve. It is expanding its shareholder base as it repositions itself as a more encompassing regional development bank serving most countries in Eastern and Southern Africa. In the past 6 years, TDB’s shareholder base has grown from 19 to 37 members, shareholder funds, total assets, and annual net profits have risen several-fold, while non-performing loans are at their lowest level, under 3%.
The Bank’s membership comprises 22 Member States from across COMESA, EAC and SADC, 2 non-regional members, Belarus and China, as well as 13 institutional shareholders. The latter include the African Development Bank, Africa Reinsurance Corporation, Arab Bank for Economic Development in Africa (BADEA), Banco Nacional de Investimento (Mozambique), Mauritian Eagle Insurance Company, National Pension Fund (Mauritius), National Social Security Fund (Uganda), OPEC Fund for International Development (OFID), PTA Reinsurance Company, Rwanda Social Security Board, Sacos Group (Seychelles) and Seychelles Pension Fund.
TDB’s return on capital and on assets stand at 12% and 2.5%, and GCR and Moody’s have upgraded its credit ratings to investment grade, a testament to TDB’s quality growth. TDB’s reputation as a strong financial solution provider in international trade and project finance is underpinned by its experience in transacting in different markets and in diverse banking practices. TDB currently has regional offices in Nairobi, Harare and Addis Ababa, and principal offices in Port-Louis and Bujumbura.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN THE “NEW FLOWER” NATIONAL TEFF RESEARCH LAB TO LAUNCH
ADDIS ABABA TO OPEN AFRICAN AFFAIRS OFFICE
NEW REAL ESTATE MEGA-PROJECTS
Two major Ethiopian agricultural research institutions, the Ethiopian Agricultural Transformation Agency (ATA) and the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research (EIAR), are partnering together to build a national research lab that will be focused exclusively on the study of teff. Teff is one of Ethiopia’s staple crops, but is grown hardly anywhere else in the world. This state-of-the-art facility, due to open in May, will be used to help develop varieties of teff that have higher yields and are more resilient to environmental changes.
After a meeting with representatives of Addis Ababa’s African diplomatic corps in December, Mayor Takele Uma announced that he would be opening an office within City Hall dedicated to strengthening relations with the city’s many African embassies, as well as with the administrations of capital cities across the continent.
In partnership with foreign investors, the Ethiopian government is developing a series of large-scale real estate projects in Addis Ababa that could change the face of the city over the coming years. The first of these projects to be formally launched is La Gare, a mixed-use development that will be located around the historic downtown train station. When complete, the La Gare project will contain apartment buildings with over 4,000 residences, in addition to a park, office buildings and shopping malls. Other large-scale project are being planned for the Yeka and Entoto neighborhoods.

BUILDING FOR THE FUTURE
SQUASHING SINGLE-USE PLASTICS
SUSTAINABLE SPORTSWEAR
Lego is quite literally working to build a more sustainable future, one bitesized brick at a time. Three years ago, the company spent US$155 million to create a “Sustainable Materials Center,” in which more than 100 employees currently work toward finding fully sustainable materials to be used for all Lego products by 2030. Considering that Lego sells 75 billion elements each year, made from 20 different types of plastic, that’s a hefty job; and yet, the task force recently debuted its first pieces made from a green replacement created from sugarcane (as opposed to oil). Roughly two percent of the company’s bricks will eventually utilize the new material, but the big problem of replacing ABS — a plastic that gives Lego pieces their prized strength, durability, color and so on — remains. Just how the company moves ahead to reach its 2030 goal will require a step by step (or brick by brick) approach.
Kraft Heinz — the company pumping out the world's favorite ketchup — is putting all options on the table to envision a greener future. Recently, the Chicago-based giant promised to make 100 percent of its packaging globally recyclable, reusable or compostable by 2025. It’s a bold but laudable pledge, considering that replacing things such as the ubiquitous ketchup packet will require balancing sustainability with requirements for food safety, shelf life, cost and more. The European division is even working on making the recyclable ketchup PET plastic bottle fully circular, so that they can be made back into food-grade packaging.
Adidas is sporting a more sustainable line, making use of an increasing amount of recycled materials for its shoes and clothing. The sportswear giant first began recycling ocean plastics as a working material for its products in 2016, and now it’s promised to phase out the use of virgin polyester entirely. As the synthetic textile accounts for half the materials used in the company’s collection, however, the company says the shift won’t be completed overnight; a goal date of 2024 has been set.

THE YEAR OF REFUGEES, RETURNEES AND INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS: TOWARDS DURABLE SOLUTIONS TO FORCED DISPLACEMENT IN AFRICA. Every year, the Heads of State and Government of The African Union decide upon a theme which focuses on a key issue facing the continent and which constitutes a focal area upon which the key activities and messages of the African Union will be anchored. In 2019 the annual theme of the African Union will be “The Year of Refugees, Returnees and Internally Displaced Persons: Towards durable solutions to forced displacement in Africa. The 2019 AU Theme is driven by the need for greater commitment by Africa to address the plight of its citizens in forced migration situations, by implementing strategic and relevant programmes and working towards the ratification of the various AU treaties and legal instruments addressing the plight of refugees and displaced persons to ensure we achieve the goal of Aspiration 4 of Agenda 2063 to provide a peaceful and secure environment for all Africans on the continent. Various AU treaties governing issues related to refugees, human rights, governance and promoting peace on the continent include the OAU Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa, African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, OAU Convention for the Elimination of Mercenaries in Africa, OAU Convention on the Prevention and Combating of Terrorism and the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance. Find out more about these treaties as well and their status of ratification by African states by visiting www.au.int About the 2019 Theme Logo: The logo for the Theme of the Year has been built around the crisis facing refugees in Africa. Whereas migration is a common phenomenon as people have always relocated for various reasons, in the case of Africa the continent is often painted as a miserable place because migration is as a result of civil strife, poverty and a myriad of other factors thereby promoting the narrative that Africa cannot care for its people. Africans and their governments have always opened their borders and welcomed into their communities their brothers and sister fleeing their homes for various reasons providing a safe haven as long as it is required. The 2019 AU theme logo shows a mother embracing Africa with its child which encompasses love and affection. Africa knows how to take care of its own in each regard no matter what.

ETHIOPIA The countdown to the launch of Ethiopia’s first earth observatory satellite is on, with the date to hit orbit set for September of this year. Created in collaboration with China, the US$8 million device will be used to gather data on agriculture, water and climate change. A second satellite is planned to follow, with Ethiopian engineers independently running the design, build and launch. The project falls in line with the African Union’s recent passing of an African space policy, encouraging the use of satellite communication for economic progress and the development of a continental space program.
NIGERIA
GHANA
Leading the charge in the field of space travel, Nigeria plans to be the first African nation to send an astronaut into orbit, with hopes to visit space by 2030. Also, since 2003, the National Space Research and Development Agency has launched five satellites, helping to collect climate information, improve agricultural practices and even help with counter-terrorism operations.
A relative newcomer, Ghana is also making inroads into space technology, becoming the first Sub-Saharan country to launch an educational satellite in 2017. Two years prior, the Ghanaian government allocated a budget of US$10 million for nuclear and space technology.
AFRICA IN SPACE COUNTRIES ACROSS THE CONTINENT MAKING LEAPS AND BOUNDS IN THE UNIVERSE
SOUTH AFRICA South Africa has been chosen to co-host (with Australia) the world’s largest radio telescope, called the Square Kilometre Array, which will enable astronomers to look into the universe with unprecedented detail. The SKA is set to begin conducting observations in the mid2020s with a partial array, later progressing to eventually cover more than a square kilometer of collecting area. South Africa is one of 12 member countries forming the cornerstone of the SKA project, but roughly 100 organizations across 20 countries are participating in the satellite’s design and development.

Africa’s great commodity wealth has created challenges as well as opportunities. The African Union’s Commodity Strategy will ensure a more collaborative process of developing and managing the continent’s natural resources. Africa has about 12% of the world’s oil reserves, 42% of its gold, 80–90% of chromium and platinum group metals and 60% of its arable land, in addition to vast timber resources. Africa experienced a commodity boom during the early 2000s which translated into the unprecedented growth that was only disturbed by the onset of the global financial crisis of 2008. While the continent was able to recover from this global shock by 2010, and rebounded with a strong growth rate of 4.6% on average, this boom did not translate into consummate economic diversification that would have led to faster social-economic development for Africans. In addition, most African economies still rely heavily on commodity production and exports, with minimal value addition and even fewer forward and backward linkages to other sectors of the economy. The challenges arising from continually fluctuating commodity prices and Africa’s limited value addition to its natural resources render Africa vulnerable to the external shocks derived from export dependency and therefore necessitate a holistic rethinking and a new approach to the question of how Africa’s commodity wealth can drive the continent’s development. The recognition of the challenges and opportunities from Africa’s commodity wealth has been reflected in different decisions by the African Union (AU), including the Arusha Declaration on African Commodities, as well as other frameworks such as the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP), the Africa Mining Vision (AMV) and the strategy for the Accelerated Industrial Development of Africa (AIDA). With the adoption of Agenda 2063 as the strategic framework to guide Africa’s inclusive economic growth, the AU undertook to consolidate and guide the development of an Africa-wide commodities strategy that will ensure a more coherent and collaborative process of African states developing, managing and benefiting from their natural resources and collectively positioning the continent to live up to its potential as an economic powerhouse.
What does the continental Commodities Strategy propose? The continental Commodities Strategy is a flagship project of the AU’s Agenda 2063 and envisions a commodity-led industrialisation: developing Africa’s commodities as a driver for achieving the structural, social and economic transformation of the continent.
The Commodities Strategy is therefore of paramount importance in assisting Africa to realise the full benefits from its natural resources for the betterment of its people.
•
Reviewing the state of play for highpriority commodities sectors in Africa, namely agriculture, mining, and energy, including the examination of current trends and outlooks, to identify sector-specific opportunities and how to address any existing challenges.
Positioning Africa as a global player in trade A clearly articulated Africa Commodities Strategy will ensure the continent takes a stand and becomes a significant player in global trade by addressing some of the activities of transnational corporations which have been fragmenting their production processes, so as to efficiently exploit different countries’ comparative advantages along (regional, subsequently global) value chains, forming a global division of labour. This has led to an increase in international trade in intermediate goods, which now accounts for about half of global trade, of which Africa accounts for 2–3%. Despite its small size, intra-African trade in intermediates is far more diversified than the corresponding trade with the rest of the world. This therefore offers an opportunity for the continent to position itself strategically in line with its resource endowments to actively participate in the global value chains, compared to what it is obtaining currently, thereby effectively putting itself on a sure path towards industrialisation.
•
Addressing commodity price volatility, which continues to be a critical feature of international commodity markets and thus creates challenges for macroeconomic management and exposes developing countries to greater macroeconomic uncertainty.
For Africa to take full advantage of and participate effectively in global value chains, it will need to effectively address its regional value chains and address other barriers that have led to low levels of intra-regional trade, such as its inefficient trade-related infrastructure and logistics, among others.
•
Driving commodity-based industrialisation, which can serve as a Launchpad for longterm diversification in new non-commodity sectors, if well supported by robust industrial policies.
Some ongoing initiatives by the African Union to address Africa’s commodities include agroprocessing and value chain development within the framework of the CAADP, harnessing the blue ocean economy and benefiting from Africa’s marine resources through the development of the Africa Integrated Maritime Strategy, and using mineral resources to catalyse broad-based growth and development through the African Mining Vision. In addition the implementation of a Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA), which is also being led by the AU, will support the development of intra-African trade which is key to boosting trade and the development of Africa’s commodities.
The strategy aims to identify, formulate and drive the implementation of policies and programmes that will enable African countries to add value, extract higher rents from their commodities, integrate into global value chains and promote vertical and horizontal diversification anchored in value addition and local content development. To achieve these objectives, in its formulation, the Commodities Strategy will address several key issues including:
These goals are achievable given that Africa boasts significant human and natural resources that can be used to promote industrialisation and structural economic transformation through value-addition strategies in all sectors. With Africa’s growing, predominantly young, skilled and urbanising population, as well as the continent’s endowments in many natural resources, including plentiful land and fertile soils, oil and minerals, commodities can play a crucial role in the drive to industrialisation. However, a key challenge for African countries is to ensure the design and implementation of effective policies that promote industrialisation and economic and structural transformation.

CAPE TOWN
AWAITS YOU
There is no better time to visit Cape Town, than now. With Ethiopian Airlines offering almost daily flights from Addis Ababa, access to South Africa’s Parliamentary Capital is now a mere flight away.
Welcome! We invite you to share in the blessings of this wonderful country of ours. Allow us to introduce you to our places of wonder – places that not only fill us with great pride, but that take our breath away time and time again. Allow us to share our favourite hangouts, restaurants, markets, hidden treasures and historical sites, that tell our rich cultural stories. Found along South Africa’s south western coast, Cape Town – or the Mother City as it is fondly known - is the second-largest city after Johannesburg. It is home to Robben Island, Table Mountain, scenic winelands, magnificent beaches, world-class restaurants and cosmopolitan lifestyles. A trip to Cape Town is incomplete if you don’t visit one of the city’s two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Robben Island. UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee chose to mark this location for its “triumph of the human spirit”. Guided tours are offered by former prisoners, who give you a firsthand account of life on the island. Catch a ferry ride to “The Robben Island Museum”. The standard tour starts at the Nelson Mandela Gateway at the V&A Waterfront and the
tour will take around 3.5 hours in total (the boat ride is half-an-hour one way). The V&A Waterfront is situated in the heart of Cape Town, where the mountain meets the sea, and it has been a working harbour since 1860, when trade routes to the East transformed the seafront into a lucrative trading post. The V&A Waterfront is home to 450 retail outlets which offer everything from homeware and fashion to electronic gadgets and curios from local and international brands alike. And if the shopping becomes too much, you can enjoy some of the many other activities on offer. These include seal watching; a visit to the Two Oceans Aquarium or the Maritime Museum; boat trips around the harbour and along the coast; or an exciting helicopter tour!
Eating out in Cape Town is easy - the city’s natural abundance of land and sea combined with cultural diversity ensure that there are menus to suit all palates, religious dietary requirements and price ranges. However, if it’s a home away from home meal you crave, then the Little Ethiopia Restaurant, owned by Ethiopian national Yeshi Mekonnen on Shortmarket Street will soothe you with divine servings of fresh injera, shiro, tibs, doro wot and vegetarian dishes.
the beat of the continent follows – whether it’s a nightclub in Cape Town’s Long Street, an African jazz concert in the beautiful Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens or the thump of a township ghetto blaster – it is an eclectic meeting of colorful people, contagious energy and endless appeal. We South Africans can’t live without some kind of catchy beat in the background.
But, you’d be missing out if you didn’t try our homegrown cuisine – we’re talking about a good old fashioned braaivleis (barbequed meat) or chisa nyama with all the trimmings, a Cape Malay curry to make your heart sing or an enormous platter of piri piri prawns served up with a view of the ocean. And when it comes to song and dance, you’d be hard pressed not to feel the rhythm of Africa when you visit our shores. Wherever you go,
Getting here Ethiopian Airlines offers daily flights from Addis Ababa to Cape Town. Tourists from Ethiopia require a visa when travelling to South Africa. If you are travelling with minors (18 years old and younger) please be sure to visit the SA Embassy website to ensure you have the correct documentation prior to applying for your travel visa.
Languages English is the primary language, widely spoken as a first, second or third language here! But to really get a feel of our people and our way of life, try using the local slang like “lekker” (nice); “yebo” (yes); and “Mzansi” (a popular local term for South Africa).
Where to stay From Cape Town’s waterfront hotels to luxury apartments along the beachfront, a variety of star graded accommodation options are available to suit all preferences and budgets. Visit the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa’s website for a catalogue of all quality assured establishments in Cape Town www.tourismgrading.co.za
Getting around There are many welcoming and accredited tour operators who can assist you with all your land arrangements. Alternatively, you may hire a car at the airport car rental offices.
The City with its vibrant, fascinating and rich history, culture and heritage; is ready to be explored, photographed, loved and remembered by you and your family. Cape Town is where you will enjoy so much more, for far less than you thought possible. Malkam guzo yehunelachu.

As one of the largest producers of gem-quality diamonds in the world,
Botswana is an African nation that is rich in both cultural and natural resources. From its beginnings as a British colony to its current role as one of the global leaders of the diamond trade, the country represents a success story of how mineral resources can be harnessed to drive modern economic growth

Located near the southern tip of Africa, Botswana first emerged in 1885 as a British colony called the Bechuanaland Protectorate. By the late 1950s and early ‘60s, however, the people of Bechuanaland began pressing for independence. Fortunately for them, the colony had not proved overly profitable to Britain; at the time, it was one of the poorest in the world, with an average per capita GDP of US$84.

When the colony became the country of Botswana in 1966, however — and discovered diamonds less than a year later — all of that would quickly change. Indeed, the discovery in the north-central part of the country created a diamond rush that facilitated Botswana’s rise from abject poverty to a valuable leader in the gem industry. Botswana has shot towards economic growth over the last 50 years, averaging a rate of roughly 5 percent per year — one of the longest booms in world history. Botswana also boasts eight mines, including the wealthiest single diamond mine in the world: the Jwaneng Mine, which produces about 15 percent of the world’s diamonds by value. And, in 2015, out of the Karowe Mine in northern Botswana emerged the world’s second-largest stone: the 1,111-carat Lesedi La Rona (meaning “Our Light”), sold for US$53 million. In 2017 alone, the country produced around 23 million carats worth of the jewels, valued at $3.3 billion.

d n a s r e e B De swana r Bot 50-Yea ip h a s n — tio a l e R In many ways, De Beers presents the face of diamonds. And for a long time, the company held a near monopoly on the diamond trade, until new laws and regulations put a stop to that in the late ‘90s and early 2000s. It was De Beers, however, that helped create Botswana’s first diamond mine at Orapa, and it was the company’s team that actually first discovered the gems. Prior to Botswana’s independence, in 1954, De Beers began prospecting for the minerals, considering that no survey had been completed of the region before that point. The only other entity prospecting for diamonds in the area was the Central African Selection Trust. Although CAST found a few small gems along the Motloutse River in the country, it concluded that they originated upstream, so the company stopped searching altogether. De Beers picked up where CAST left off, and its team found a few other stones along the same river. They started searching for the

source, which eventually led them to discover kimberlites (rocks containing diamonds) in the Orapa region. What’s most notable, though, is that the company decided to work with the newly formed Botswana government, rather than exploit the area for its own means. From the beginning, the country and the company have shared a 50/50 split in the diamond operation and profits; Debswana is the business entity that controls the diamond operation in Botswana, and both De Beers and the local government hold equal shares of it. De Beers even moved its sorting and valuing operation, known as the Diamond Trading Corporation, to Botswana from London in 2013. The move not only made sense from a logistical standpoint, but it also shifted the center of the diamond world from Europe to Africa. Indeed, for hundreds of years, rough stones from various parts of the globe were shipped to London, where they were sorted and valued and cut. Now, however, all of that is done in Botswana — providing a major boon to the country. No longer would locals be employed solely in the mining operation, but now they could work other jobs in valuation and sorting. These days, the Diamond Trading Company is one of the largest employers in Botswana. As with Debswana, the DTC is another 50/50 joint venture between De Beers and the country’s government. This means that mining, sorting and valuation is all handled in a single place, making it a rival to other diamond trading hubs of the world. The other aspect of this transition was that it placed Botswana in a JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2019

better position for working with other companies. One component of the deal is that the DTC allows Botswana to sell 15 percent of its rough diamonds independently, which enables the country to entice other businesses to set up shop in the region. The long-term goal of this move was to provide more employment opportunities for Botswana’s roughly two million residents, as well as to create a global hub for diamond sorting and valuation in the capital, Gaborone. As more companies move to the area, they can bring additional jobs and revenue for the country’s government and banking system. Though success has been somewhat limited thus far, Gaborone and the surrounding country continue to modernize and move forward, though perhaps at a slower pace than initially anticipated. But as the diamond industry changes, the impacts will hit Botswana more substantially than other producing countries.
So far, the story of Botswana’s relationship with diamonds has been overwhelmingly positive. Unlike other African nations that were plundered or brought into violent conflict over these precious stones, Botswana has become a symbol of peace and progress throughout the continent. Since the beginning, the diamond trade has been very kind to the country, and it seems as though that prosperity is reaching beyond merely those at the top. According to Transparency International, a global watchdog group that ranks countries by corruption (or perception of corruption), Botswana lies at number 35 (the United States is 18, by comparison) — meaning it is the leastcorrupt country in sub-Saharan Africa. For a nation that brings in so much wealth, that’s an almost astonishing rank. Since Botswana first gained independence, its average per capita has risen from $84 to over $7,500. When diamonds were first discovered, the government realized that it had an opportunity and an obligation to make that money work for the people. Much of it was used for infrastructure and social programs, which have become a hallmark of Botswana’s culture. Today, diamonds account for 76 percent of export revenue and 33 percent of total GDP. Roughly 45 percent of the government’s budget comes from the diamond industry, and yet the government knows an
expiration date on the diamonds’ success exists. Some estimates claim that the mines may only produce at these levels for another two to three decades at most. The country hopes to revitalize itself in a few other areas, namely tourism and technology. Safari tours are popular in the country, and the government is trying to make them more accessible. In 2015, Botswana received about 1.6 million tourists, which earned approximately $888 million. Other industrial exports include copper, coal and soda ash, although they, of course, currently pale in comparison next to diamonds. Still, the government is hoping that it can diversify the economy fast enough to offset any future diamond decline. Till then, Botswana’s success right now rises and falls with the precious little stones. Diamonds are intrinsically tied to the nation’s history and identity, but it will need another monumental shift to keep the future looking bright. JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2019

few years back, Bangkokbased architect Duangrit Bunnag was doing well. So well, in fact, that he needed more office space. After months spent looking for affordable options in the city’s central business district, but coming up dry, an old school chum offered up a parcel of land with ramshackle pre-World War I warehouses on the western bank of the Chao Phraya River. Even though the land was on the unfashionable side of the river, Bunnag perked up and set about sprucing up the joint. Instead of tearing down the old buildings, the architect kept the original warehouse’s industrial, gritty veneer and recast its interiors with a clean, minimalist aesthetic. Within a year, the ice and battery factory on the river’s less-glamorous bank had been transformed into The Jam Factory — a modern complex with office spaces, a bookstore, a café, an art gallery, lifestyle shops and a gorgeous riverside restaurant. For ages, though home to a handful of luxury hotels, the river’s waterfront mostly consisted of traditional riverside communities, packed warehouses and abandoned buildings. So when The Jam Factory opened in 2014 as the first multipurpose creative venue of its kind, Bangkok

developers and residents took note. Bunnag had unwittingly forced Bangkok to reimagine its relationship to its landmark river, and all eyes turned to the River of Kings. THE MECHANICAL CRANE ALIGHTS IN BANGKOK Bangkok was established in the mid-18th century, when King Rama I positioned his capital city on the eastern shores of the Chao Phraya River. Punctuated by the glittering golden spires of the Grand Palace and Wat Arun, or the “Temple of Dawn,” the Chao Phraya provided a grand and romantic backdrop, charming and alluring locals and visitors alike. For much of its history, Bangkok functioned like a typical port city, with the river serving as its main thoroughfare. Stockyards sprung up along the western banks while merchants set up shophouses on the river’s eastern shore. Wooden barges and colorful, long tail boats ferried cargo and fishermen up and down its waterways, connecting the kingdom’s far-flung provinces to the capital city and the world beyond. By the mid-1980s, however, things began to change. Increased maritime trade and growth in Thailand’s manufacturing sector forced the relocation of the country’s main port from Bangkok to Laem Chabang, a southern harbor situated right on the Gulf of Siam. At the same time, Bangkok

began rapid urban growth and expansion, with most of the development concentrated east of the Chao Phraya River along the Sukhumvit, Silom and Sathorn corridor — areas that evolved into modern Bangkok’s central business and residential districts. For the next 30 years, office buildings, condominiums and hotels sprung up so quickly in the area that locals joked the mechanical crane was the country’s official bird. Meanwhile, the riverfront presented a different story. When James Pitchon, the executive director of CBRE, a U.K.-based real estate consulting firm with offices in Bangkok, first arrived in the city 28 years ago, less than a handful of multistory buildings stood along the Chao Phraya. “Business and residential development along the river was patchy,” he remembers. In the last three years, however, Pitchon notes that things have changed greatly. “We are seeing a revitalization of the waterfront,” he says. “People are rediscovering the uniqueness of river views, and sales are brisk.” Indeed, Bangkok’s national bird swooped in once again, this time nesting along the Chao Phraya. On the Thonburi, or western, side of the river, the skyline is dominated by the behemoth IconSiam development. Opened in late 2018, the project includes a 525,000-square-meter mall anchored by Japanese retailer Takashimaya and two condominium complexes: the Magnolia Riverside with 379 units, and the Mandarin Oriental Residences with 146 units. The development has significantly raised the Chao Phraya’s profile — both physically and

in commercial value. Together, the new condo complexes include some of the city’s most expensive units. Selling at US$12,800 per square meter, the Mandarin Oriental Residences is already listed as one of Bangkok’s top-5 priciest condos, even before its opening date, and 70 percent of the units have been sold. Magnolia Riverside is completely sold out. The flashy price tags and the staggering sell-through are remarkable, even to a seasoned professional like Pitchon. While riverside emporiums like River City Bangkok and Asiatique have popped up and attracted shoppers in recent years, IconSiam’s retail arm will feature global brands and Michelincaliber restaurants, amping the waterfront’s shopping and dining cache exponentially. On the more bustling side of the river, development is accelerating just as rapidly. South of Taksin Bridge, about a kilometer from the iconic Mandarin Oriental Hotel, work is underway at

Chao Phraya Estate, a multitower development including the Four Seasons Residences and two hotels — Four Seasons Bangkok and the sleek and ultra cool Capella Bangkok. Expected to open later this year, the Four Seasons Residences is already 70 percent sold at roughly $11,500 per square meter, according to Pitchon. Thais account for 90 percent of buyers on average. “When I first arrived in Bangkok,” recalls Pitchon, “local families balked at condo living. No one wanted anyone living on top of them.” (In Thai culture, pointing towards or touching someone with your feet, especially near the head, is verboten). But, in early 2000, a shortage of domestic help led many buyers toward the convenience of condominium living, and development projects took off all over Bangkok. 40

Then came Bunnag’s The Jam Factory. “When Duangrit [Bunnag] announced his move to the ‘wrong side’ of the river, people thought he was mad,” says David Robinson, director of Bangkok River Partners, a business consortium that promotes the Chao Phraya waterfront as a worldclass business and leisure destination. “Instead, by repurposing the old warehouses into The Jam Factory, he single-handedly brought about a sea-change in the way Bangkokians looked at old buildings and the riverfront. Not just the historically important, but also simple shophouses that spoke to a way of life before the city’s boom.” The Jam Factory’s success triggered a wave of refurbishments in riverside districts like Bangrak, Klong San and Chinatown, and spearheaded the influx of hip restaurants, shops and bars into the area. No doubt, Bunnag’s success was also an
impetus in luxury waterfront development. In addition to its beautiful vista, a Chao Phraya location offers many compelling attributes. With improved mass transit and roads in general, the area boasts good connectivity to the business district and to urban services like hospitals and schools. Even the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration, the local governing body, has recently taken note, albeit with some pushback. In 2015, the government announced plans for a $268 million, 14-kilometer-long, 10-meter-wide elevated promenade along the waterfront, asserting the promenade’s bike lane and walkway would serve as public access to local residents and provide Bangkok with a riverside landmark. While local civic and business groups have largely taken the riverside luxury hotel and condominium projects in stride, BMA’s plans have galvanized considerable dissent among academics and business groups. They contend the promenade will displace local communities as well as obstruct river traffic and river views. “The livelihood of the city’s traditional riverside communities are closely related to and benefit from the river,” explains Yossapon Boonsom, a landscape architect and organizer of Friends of the River, a grassroots organization protesting river development. While the BMA’s promise to create public access is laudable, Boonsom says it will in fact displace a number of local communities who have lived along the river for generations. JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2019

“It will disrupt the river’s natural and cultural ecology, not to mention its aesthetic assets,” he adds, noting that to top it all, Bangkok is sinking. A megacity of nearly 16 million, with over 2,200 multistory buildings, over 275 of which are over 150 meters tall, Bangkok is losing ground, up to 3 centimeters per year according to some estimates. Boonsom believes the issue is getting less attention than it deserves. NAVIGATING INEVITABLE CHANGE With wavy chin-length locks and black-rimmed glasses, 50-year-old Bunnag looks and plays the part of an irreverent hipster, a provocateur who rattles the status quo with his views on everything from Thai politics to chaos theory. Like Boonsom, Bunnag opposes BMA’s plans by invoking the Thais’ deep connection to the Chao Phraya’s spirit and vitality and to the communities it sustains. As for the mega-condos along the riverside, Bunnag muses, “Change is inevitable. The city is changing, the province is changing, and Thailand is changing.” To this end, Bunnag encourages robust conversations about how to best navigate the change. Renovating old buildings and creating spaces that benefit local neighborhoods and newcomers offers one alternative. Toward that end, Bunnag in 2017 opened Warehouse 30, a retail, art, fashion and restaurant complex housed in a series of retrofitted WWI-era industrial buildings near the historic Old Customs House and the Portuguese Embassy, almost directly opposite the river from The Jam Factory. With most of the land in between already developed or not currently available, few options 44

remain for new construction with fabulous views. In this respect, Bunnag’s model for renovating old landmark buildings presents an interesting opportunity. In February 2018, two local entrepreneurs joined together to launch The Prince Heritage Stay, converting a 100+-year-old former movie theater into upmarket boutique accommodations. “We don’t define our hotel by the number of stars,” says co-founder Kittisak Pattamsaevi, who also heads the Montara Hospitality Group, “but how creatively we can connect travelers with in-house and local experiences.” Beyond The Prince’s front doors, fresh markets, food carts, noodle shops, Chinese apothecaries, and fruit and coconut sellers mingle with up-and-coming restaurants and galleries. A few hundred meters from IconSiam, one of Bangkok’s longstanding and highly successful merchant families, the Wanglees, converted their mid-19th-century riverfront warehouses into a complex of co-working spaces, art galleries, shops, restaurants and conference facilities. With over 6,800 square meters of building space, the parcel of land could have fetched a fair penny on the market, concedes Rujiraporn Wanglee, who managed the renovations. In fact, the 160-yearold buildings contain auspicious Chinese wall
paintings and frescoes, and are one of the few remaining examples of San He Yuan architecture — a Chinese architecture plan where a U-shaped building faces an open, multipurpose courtyard. And yet the family moved forward, noting that they “wanted to create open public space on the river and give back to the community.” Meanwhile, Bunnag continues to champion the river through the newly-formed Creative District Foundation, which he co-directs with a handful of artists and entrepreneurs. The CDF encourages inclusive dialogue and projects that benefit old and new communities along the Chao Phraya. “The riverside is a dynamic neighborhood, and we want to keep it that way. Mixing heritage with the new is important,” says Bangkok River Partners’ Robinson. But conservation and preservation are the exception, not the norm. Thailand’s growth rate remains steady at 3.2 percent per year, with unfaltering demand for real estate across the city. No doubt speculators will continue to scope the Chao Phraya for new building sites. And so Bangkok’s national bird remains in-flight, and the River of Kings casts an irresistible profile.

Emperor Haile Selassie I AND THE VISION FOR PAN-AFRICAN UNITY

SELAMTAMAGAZINE.COM
The commemorative statue of Emperor Haile Selassie I, to be erected in the compound of the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa, will be inaugurated during the 32nd Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union in February 2019. It will indeed be a solemn occasion dedicated to celebrating the work of a great statesman who made a monumental contribution to the beginning of the liberation of Africa and the establishment of the Organization of the African Unity
EVERETT COLLECTION HISTORICAL / ALAMY STOCK PHOTO

ridging the divide then existing among newly independent African countries may not look all that difficult now. However it required the statesmanship of Emperor Haile Selassie I and his pragmatic evaluation of what was possible at the time to get Africans together to achieve what has always been the dream of Pan-Africanists — the creation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in 1963. This historic step lay the foundation for Africa to play a critical role in speeding up the further liberation of the rest of the continent.
The people of Ethiopia take immense satisfaction at what their country was able to contribute to African unity and the liberation of the continent under the leadership of Emperor Haile Selassie I. The Emperor’s prioritization of the unity of Africans which he thought could only be better advanced when they spoke in one voice was well-articulated in the historic speech he made on 25 May 1963. The following was what this great African, about whom Mandela spoke so
glowingly in his autobiography, said during that historic occasion: “What we require is a single African organization through which Africa’s single voice may be heard, within which Africa’s problems may be studied and resolved. We need an organization which will facilitate acceptable solutions to disputes among Africans and promote the study and adoption of measures for common defense and programs for co-operation in the economic and social fields. Let us, at this Conference, create a single institution to which we will all belong, based on principles to which we all subscribe…” We recall, Emperor Haile Selassie I and his country, Ethiopia, had witnessed a five-year colonial occupation that the defiant people drove out of their territory and made history against colonization. Despite Ethiopia being a member of the League of Nations, it was not sealed from colonial aggression, for great power duplicity made it easy to abandon Ethiopia. This must have had a decisive impact on the Ethiopian Emperor to seek salvation in the unity of Africans and in commitment to Pan-Africanism to which he remained loyal until the end of his life. The erection of the Statue of Emperor Haile Selassie I in the compound of the African Union, the inheritor of the legacy of the OAU, is therefore an appropriate homage to this African leader. Selassie's statesmanship was legendary and his pragmatism helped Africa embark on a long journey towards the unity of Africa, which will be in the interest of all its peoples, a journey yet to be completed. This is a journey which has had many ups and downs and would continue to be full of challenges because Africa still has many mountains to climb and numerous hurdles to overcome. This is the responsibility of this generation of Africans to JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2019

carry out, thus making sure that the conditions of Africans would be much better than now when the baton is passed over to the next generation. The African leaders of the Emperor’s generation did their best to hand over to us an Africa which was much better situated than in the past to fight in unison for the liberation of our people. They did their part to which the contribution of Emperor Haile Selassie I and Ethiopia was indeed monumental. As we celebrate the inauguration of the commemoration of the Statue for His Imperial Majesty in February next year, we should all be mindful of our obligation to contribute to the completion of the journey that those founding fathers began - a journey which will continue to be complex and full of challenges, all the more so at present when the global situation is far from being conducive for international cooperation and for
revitalizing international partnership. What we see today, contrary to what the world agreed three years ago, was far less readiness to embark on renewed partnership to combat poverty and to leave no one behind. Whether on peace and security or economic development, what Africa is encountering today is very reduced commitment to effective international solidarity with the view to helping Africa address the challenges facing it. All these considerations make it incumbent on Africans to enhance their commitment to the realization of Agenda 2063 and to roll up their sleeves and strengthen their unity in the spirit of their founding fathers whose challenges were in many ways different from the challenges we face today. But Africa’s future is ahead of us and the effort now being made to reform the institutions of the AU provides hope that Africa is ready to take the bull by the horns and ensure the achievement of real progress for which Silencing the Guns by 2020 is of paramount importance. In all these the further strengthening of the unity of the continent in a pragmatic manner and the way Emperor Haile Selassie I approached the challenge is a lesson from which we should all learn and for which we should remember the Ethiopian Emperor. The commemorative statue will indeed serve as a reminder of this and the other accomplishments of Emperor Haile Selassie I. JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2019

The High Life Delighting in the abundant, unique wildlife of Ethiopia’s Simien Mountains BY G R AE M E G R E E N
“Do you know how high you are right now?” my wildlife guide, Dani Fikru, asks as we try to keep up with a sauntering walia ibex, a mountain goat that’s endemic to this part of Ethiopia. “This is 4,300 meters. We’re on the Roof of Africa.” That explains my shortness of breath; the ibex’s legs and lungs are much better suited to this altitude. We’re in Simien Mountains National Park, one of Ethiopia’s richest wildlife zones. Around us, giant lobelia trees grow along the steep slopes, making this a good place to find the rare walia ibex. We track the pair across the mountain, the distinctive animals’ elegant goatees and heavy-looking ridged horns making them more than worthy of the pursuit. The species is found only in Ethiopia, 54

with an estimated total of 900 ibex remaining in the country, according to Dani — all of them found in and around Simien Mountains National Park, especially at higher altitudes. “If they come down to lower ground, it’s hard to see predators,” he explains. “It’s better for them to live in high, rocky areas, so they can control their enemies.” The walia ibex is just one of many fascinating creatures found in the Ethiopian Highlands, in hotspots like Simien Mountains National Park and Bale Mountains National Park, far off in the country’s south. Some, like the ibex, the Menelik’s bushbuck and the Ethiopian wolf, are rare, shy or both and take real effort to find. Others, like the gelada monkeys, are hard to miss.
Opening my curtains on the first morning in the Simien Mountains, I see a big male gelada marauding through the forest. Seconds later, a mother passes, her baby hitching a ride on her back. Over breakfast, a lammergeier, or bearded vulture, soars up and over the hillside. Spotting wildlife in the Simiens doesn’t look like it’ll be a problem. Established in 1969 and listed as one of the world’s first natural UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 1978, the 412-square-kilometer national park ranges in altitude from 1,900 meters up to the 4,533-meter peak of Ethiopia’s highest mountain, Ras Dashen. I head into the mountainous park in a 4x4 with Ethiopian guide Dawit Teferi, local guide

Dani and an armed ranger. It doesn’t take long to notice geladas eating by the roadside. “They eat one kilo of grass each day,” Dani informs me. Between mouthfuls, they pick at each other’s fur. “It’s a ‘you-scratch-my-back, I’ll-scratchyours…’ situation,” Dani says. “They’re picking out parasites, but it also has social value: a way to show friendship.” We drive on, to grassy plateaus where large groups of geladas have congregated, having climbed up from the shelter of the cliffs as they do each morning. The geladas are sometimes called “bleeding heart monkeys” due to the red patch on their chests, while adult males’ shaggy coats and thick manes have also earned them the nickname “lion monkeys.” The key word is “monkeys,” not “baboons,” says Dawit. “They look like baboons, behave like baboons. But they have different DNA,” he adds. “Genetically, scientists say they’re more similar to a monkey that was historically in this area of Africa.” There are around 10,000 geladas in and around Simien Mountains National Park. They’re wild but habituated enough to the presence of humans that, granted no sudden moves or loud noises, they don’t seem to mind my presence. As a photographer, I’ve been around the world, but sitting among the geladas and photographing them as they go about their daily grazing and grooming is one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had in some time. “You’re very lucky,” Dani tells me as I pack up my camera, ready to move on. “I
never saw so many together. There must be at least 400 out there today.” Elsewhere, I manage to get a shot of a skittish bushbuck among the trees and klipspringer antelopes on the cliffs far below. We hike out to a ledge, Dawit and Dani reeling off the names of impressive birds of prey soaring over the canyon, from Verreaux’s eagles to griffon vultures. Next morning, we travel deeper into the remote parts of the park, around Bwahit Pass, still looking for ibex. Along the way, we pass shepherds steering animals — goats, sheep, horses — up onto the high plains, the protected park still home to people who grow crops and graze animals, which can lead to tensions. “Generally, the government and conservationists have managed to
convince local people it’s better to have wildlife here,” Dawit says. It takes some time to see any ibex, scouring the peaks with binoculars. We pick out one far off in the distance, its curved horns silhouetted against the sky. Then, driving on, we find a pair and clamber up the hillside, breathless. It’s an adventure to keep up with the animals, but eventually I come alongside and manage to produce a few pictures. As the ibex saunter away, I descend several hundred meters down the hillside to the team to make our way back to the lodge. We drive gradually down to lower altitudes, but, after the incredible animals I’ve seen and photographed in just a few days amid the Simien’s wild landscapes, it still feels like a high.

24 Hours in Kampala A one-day guide to Uganda's vibrant capital city
ganda’s capital city is a busy, bustling city that borders the majestic Lake Victoria (the largest lake in Africa). Tourists to Uganda often focus on visiting wildlife and ecotourism destinations, but Kampala offers a range of artistic, cultural and culinary discoveries as well, many of which can be visited in one day.
U
8:00 a.m. Start your day with breakfast,
a strong cup of premium Ugandan coffee and a glass of freshly-squeezed juice at Endiro Coffee. Despite its location in the busy Kisementi shopping district, this charming café boasts al fresco seating surrounded by lush foliage that blocks out the rush of the city. Try “The Local” breakfast platter, which features savory chicken or pork skewers, fried sweet potatoes and chapatis (Indian flatbread). 10:00 a.m. As an alternative to
traditional city tours, several local tour operators offer boda boda tours, aboard the city’s ubiquitous motorcycle taxis. Not only are these bikes more agile than traveling in a car, the tours can also be customized to specific interests. Sites to visit include Mengo Palace the traditional seat of the kingdom of Buganda, which was built in 1884, the National Theatre and the Rubaga Cathedral, where many of Kampala’s Catholics worship.

12:30 p.m. Most boda boda tours will
include lunch, so plan ahead and end your tour with a sumptuous meal at Fez Brasserie, an international restaurant on the grounds of the Emin Pasha hotel. Try the pickled tilapia starter or chilled avocado soup, followed by grilled beef steak or roasted lamb. After lunch, take a relaxing walk through the leafy hotel gardens. 2:00 p.m. Use a ride-sharing app
or take a taxi to visit the Social Innovation Museum in Mpigi Town, about an hour outside of the city. This unique facility is operated by the Social Innovation Academy, an NGO dedicated to helping underprivileged young people attain job skills and create small enterprises. A large focus of the organization is recycling, and a variety of “upcycled” projects can be viewed on site — including homes with walls constructed partially from plastic bottles and tile flooring material made
from egg shells. The facility’s staff brim with creative ideas and inspiring stories about how innovation can be harnessed for social change. 5:00 p.m. Ride back to the city and head
to Bukoto Street for some shopping. Adjacent to the Kampala outpost of Alliance Francaise sit a handful of shops featuring local design: Kampala Fair sells dresses and home decor items made from locally-sourced fabrics with colorful patterns; Good Glass recycles glass bottles and other materials to create beautiful lamps, candle holders and chandeliers; and Kona sells brightly colored accessories, including bags and jewelry, inspired by Ugandan and Indian design traditions. 6:00 p.m. After shopping, treat yourself
to an authentic Indian dinner and a picturesque garden setting at Khana Khazana. With authentic decor and a very extensive menu featuring the
flavors of northern India’s Rajasthan state, this popular restaurant presents the perfect place to enjoy a relaxed dining experience. Take a table in the large outdoor seating area and try some dishes that make use of local ingredients, such as the coconut fish, made with tilapia from nearby Lake Victoria.

7:30 p.m. After dinner, catch a live yet
intimate music performance at Sofar Sounds Kampala. Sofar is a unique concert concept, featuring secret live events held in alternative spaces — including private homes — around the world. Sofar Kampala shows put local singer-songwriters or instrumentalists at center stage, but the nature of the performance and the exact location are kept secret until the day before the event. Tickets are given out lottery style, so check the website (sofarsounds. com/kampala) well before your trip to secure admission. Try to get to bed at a decent hour (as the morning ride to Entebbe Airport can take quite some time). Use the drive to the airport to take in some last sights and reflect on the colorful, creative capital that is Kampala.

Soul of Africa Authentic Ethiopian-made shoes for positive social change
C
urious onlookers the world over have long admired the beauty of Ethiopia’s Kara tribe and its body-painting artistry. But now, thanks to a new partnership with global footwear brand Soul of Africa, interested admirers can wear a piece of the tribe’s artwork themselves. Indeed, Soul of Africa’s “Ababa” line puts the legendary talent of the Kara forward, designed by both male and female tribe members in collaboration with Belgian design firm Akaso. The result is a collection of shoes that fuses one of Africa’s oldest art forms with an urban, contemporary spirit. Like all of the brand’s shoes, the Ababa line is created from high-quality materials that are thin, flexible and locally manufactured in Ethiopia from ethically-sourced materials. Designed with Vivobarefoot technology, the shoes — available in both canvas and leather — are created to ensure minimal restrictions to movements while offering protection from the environment. The Soul of Africa brand seeks to enable patrons to not only walk in the steps of their ancestors but also contribute to the advancement, education and aid of the people of Africa with support through financial aid, scholarships, education and employment opportunities. Most recently, Soul of Africa facilitated the establishment of a manufacturing facility in Ethiopia, from which the brand’s shoes are produced. And since 2003, Soul of Africa has generated more than US$2 million in wages for African workers; enabled almost 18,000 African children to receive access to education through building classrooms and funding scholarships; and provided micro-credits for small entrepreneurship projects to empower both youth and women across the continent. For more about the brand and to view its Ababa line designs, visit soulofafrica.com.

Telling a Nation’s Story through a Grandmother’s Eyes An Interview with Aida Edemariam, Author of the Critically-Acclaimed Book, The Wife’s Tale
O
ver the past few decades, there have only been a handful Englishlanguage books about Ethiopia that have received international literary acclaim. Aida Edemariam’s latest book, The Wife’s Tale, joins this brief list of titles, alongside the works of Nega Mezlekia, Abraham Verghese and Maaza Mengiste, but it also stands on its own as a unique work of nonfiction. The book is a biography of a remarkable woman from Gondar named Yetemegnu, who is the author’s grandmother. Aida’s writing was informed by many hours of interviews with her grandmother and years of extensive research. The end result is far from a simple family history, however. Told almost exclusively from Yetemegnu’s point of view, The Wife’s Tale transports readers into the engrossing story: an ordinary woman who lives a difficult, incredible life, crossing paths with largerthan-life historical figures along the way. Aida uses colorful imagery, authentic cultural descriptions and skillful translation of Amharic, to craft an intimate memoir that reads like a grand literary novel. The Wife’s Tale also stands out for shedding a new light on how ordinary Ethiopians lived through of some of the most tumultuous decades in the nation’s history. The book has received unanimously positive reviews from major publications in the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States, including The New York Times and The Economist, which named it one of the best books of 2018. We recently interviewed Aida to find out more about how she created this incredible book. 60
SELAMTAMAGAZINE.COM
What inspired you to write this book?
I loved listening to my grandmother — her stories, the shape and music of them; the jokes and the wisdoms, and the vivid details of the old Gondar in which she grew up. Also, I am a journalist in my day job, and I know a fascinating story when I see one. I wanted to find out if I could render the things she told me in an English that did justice to the skill of her telling. How long did it take you to complete the book? Please explain the research and writing process. Any travels to Ethiopia?
I first started recording her 20 years ago, and in the end I had about 60-70 hours of tape, all in Amharic and almost all recorded in Addis, where she lived for the last decades. I would just sit with her, when she did the daily coffee ceremony, and listen to where our chat led us; when I got a book deal, much later on, I was more organised, and worked through the last century of Ethiopian history, from her point of view (she was born during the reign of Empress Zewditu and died nearly a 100 years later). I also had a lot of help from my father, Professor Edemariam Tsega, who was writing his own book about his father, The Life History and Qineis of Liqe Kahinat Aleqa Tsega Teshale, which is now available in simultaneous Amharic, English and Ge’ez — he translated some of my questions when my Amharic ran out of steam, and his mother’s answers when my comprehension did. I went to Gondar, talked to people there, and visited all the still-existing churches and courthouses and homes and surrounding villages she had mentioned. I went to Debre Libanos, where she had been a pilgrim, and I wandered around Addis looking the buildings she had visited and lived in there – the modest homes, the courthouses, the palace where she petitioned the emperor. Finally my father helped me hire a horse and I rode it into the mountains above Gondar. I wanted to see and smell and taste the landscape as she might have done when she did the same journey on mule-back in the 1930s and 40s, and to try to make it live on the page. One of the most distinctive aspects of the book, for Ethiopian readers, is the way that you translated Amharic expressions, idioms and figures of speech into English. How did you approach this process, and how challenging was it?
Well, the first time I transcribed those 60-70 hours, it took a whole year, as I was also working full-time. And I had the bare bones of the story.
Editor’s Note: The Wife’s Tale will be released in paperback in February 2019
I then spent months in the British Library in London, reading about the Orthodox Church, about social and emotional and religious customs (Wax and Gold by Donald Levine is a brilliant book, a great primer both on the qiné of which my grandfather was a master, and on the customs of Gondar; Bahru Zedwe’s authoritative histories; the amazing 5-volume Encyclopaedia Aethiopica, Reidulf Knut Molvaer’s insightful study Tradition and Change in Ethiopia: Social and Cultural Life as Reflected in Amharic Fictional Literature, among much else). I organised the transcript I had, and wrote a draft of the book — which took about three years — and then I went through and listened to all my tapes again. It was amazing how much I had missed the first time, and how much I was then able to add, in terms of the resonances of words and events; I understood so much more of what they actually meant. If I was talking about making tej or injera or wat, or the things I saw on my horse-ride, I asked what the spices and grains and plants were in Amharic, found them in Thomas Lieper Kane’s brilliant 2-volume dictionary – often in Latin! — or in the Encyclopaedia, then tracked down the demotic English for them. I started to discover that being as accurate as you can about the roots of a word can bring you surprisingly closer to the original language, which is also trying to describe the world as accurately as it can. Also, Amharic and English both owe a great deal to the stories and language of the Bible, so if you use an English steeped in that register, as I have done, there are many pleasing correspondences. In other places, I just translated my grandmother’s own words as directly as I possibly could; often lines appear in the book exactly as she said them, except in English. At one point, for instance, she describes herself as so thin that her hips jut out like guns; it’s a very Amharic way of putting it; translated into English it’s vivid, surprising, and totally comprehensible (and better than any simile I might have come up with). So I did a lot of that, too. This was one of the most rewarding aspects of the whole project. The Wife’s Tale has received rave reviews from major newspapers in the UK and America. Did you expect this level of positive response from literary critics?
Not in any way. The first one was a surprise (rather like having schoolwork marked, but in public, which is a little odd!) and it has felt a bit like that ever since. How has your book been received so far by Ethiopian audiences, and how would you like it to be received in the future?
I have been very moved and grateful for the kind responses I have received so far. JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2019

> Upon arrival at your destination, take a quick jog, brisk walk or a vigorous scrub to help stimulate circulation. Then, take a hot shower or a relaxing bath.
With shoulders relaxed, drop ear to shoulder and gently roll neck forward and to the other side, holding each position for about five seconds. Repeat five times.
> Take off shoes while on the plane to prevent your feet from swelling up, or wear shoes that will cope with expanding ankles.
