From the Group CEO

Welcome Aboard Dear Esteemed Customers,

የተከበራችሁ ውድ ደንበኞቻችን፣

It is a great pleasure to welcome you on board at a time when we are unveiling the Addis Ababa International Airport expansion project, which will triple the capacity of the passenger terminal!

The revamped airport, colorfully inaugurated back in January in the presence of Ethiopian Prime Minister H.E. Dr. Abiy Ahmed, will enable us to cope up with the ever-increasing passenger volume at our main hub in Addis Ababa. With its latest technology and passenger-friendly amenities, the new facility is designed to provide you with a streamlined, hassle-free ground-to-air experience.

We are determined to keep simplifying your travel experience using our digital platforms. The new self-check-in initiative we are implementing provides an easy check-in experience with self-service channels including mobile phone, web, kiosk and auto check-in.

Travel to and from the world’s gateway to Africa, Addis Ababa, has never been easier, as the new Ethiopian mobile app enables travelers to secure an e-Visa within four hours from any part of the world and book flights, paying with credit or debit cards, mobile money, e-Wallet or bank transfer. The app also allows you to check-in for your flight, produce a boarding pass and save it on your mobile phone, then scan it on our readers at the airport terminal for a seamless self-boarding experience.

To add to our end-to-end service, we have also inaugurated the ultra-luxurious Ethiopian Skylight Hotel, located within walking distance from Bole International Airport. With 373 rooms and many state-of-the-art amenities, the hotel will provide ease to passengers transiting through Ethiopia or visiting the country.

Transit passengers staying for 6-8 hours at Bole International Airport will be treated to a free tour of Addis Ababa by our tour and travel service wing, ET Holidays. With no visa requirement, this free tour includes museum visits, a taste of Ethiopian coffee and souvenir shopping. All you need to do to be part of the tour is fill out a voucher at your origin station and bring it to Addis.

As we keep expanding our global network to meet your demand, we will be restructuring our U.S. network as of summer 2019 to give passengers the best possible connectivity and shortest routes. With the restructuring, our flights to Washington D.C. will be increased from seven to ten weekly flights, adding three flights through Abidjan. Additionally, we will introduce Houston as our newest U.S. destination, replacing Los Angeles.

After taking the Gautrain from the airport, one of my first stops was Nelson Mandela Square in Sandton. So cool to stand next to the larger-than-life statue of the great leader that I've looked up to for so long. Lots of of other great things to do nearby. I can already tell there's not going to be enough time to see all that I want to see!

Around Addis

Greening The City Although Addis Ababa faces many of the challenges common to large cities, several initiatives are in progress that seek to make the capital cleaner, healthier and more sustainable

CAR-FREE DAYS Starting in December 2018, Addis Ababa and other cities across the country began recognizing monthly “car-free days.” In addition to reducing pollution from cars and the stress of traffic, these days have also become occasions to promote healthy lifestyles, with hundreds participating in public exercise, sports activities and free health screenings provided by Ethiopia’s Ministry of Health.

SELAMTAMAGAZINE.COM

NEW GREEN SPACES Last year Mayor Takele Uma Banti announced plans to increase the amount of green space in Addis Ababa, including plans for the city to reclaim for the public several large undeveloped plots of land that had been fenced off for many years. The mayor responded positively to the #AradaPark social media campaign calling for a new major city park, saying on Twitter that these new green spaces would constitute “much more than a green roundabout.”

WASTE WATER TREATMENT After three years of construction, the new Kaliti Waste Water Treatment Plant was inaugurated last year, with a capacity to eventually treat over 100 million liters of wastewater daily. The massive project, which was built at a cost of $250 million, is expected to bring ten times the treatment capacity to the city’s water authority and will provide recycled water for irrigation and industrial usage.

INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP FOR BETTER AIR QUALITY Addis Ababa’s Environmental Protection Authority has joined a U.S. government initiative to improve air quality management in major cities around the world. The Megacities Partnership, a project of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), seeks to help the Addis Ababa city administration to roll out a comprehensive air quality management plan within the next two years.

THE AFRICAN CONTINENTAL FREE TRADE AREA TAKES BIG STEPS TOWARDS BECOMING A REALITY Introduced at an AU meeting in Kigali, Rwanda last year, the African Continental Free Trade Afrea (AfCFTA) may soon bring the African continent together into a long-awaited single trade zone. This ambitious new agreement promises to introduce removal of tariffs on nearly all goods sold between African countries, giving a much-needed boost to intracontinental trade and investment levels. Once fully in place, the AfCFTA will be the largest free trade region the world has seen since the establishment of the WTO.

15% increase

The African Development Bank estimates that the agreement will increase the level of intra-African trade by 15%, and will lead to a net increase of $2.8 billion in “real income for Africans”

had ratified the AfCFTA as of February, 2019.

Twenty-two nations need to ratify the treaty in order for it to come into effect

Financing of the Union: By Africa for Africa

The African Union has adopted a new financing strategy to assure reliable funding for its programmes and make it less dependent on external partners.

The African Union has adopted a new financing strategy to assure reliable funding for its programmes and make it less dependent on external partners.

The African Union (AU) was launched in 2002, succeeding the Organisation of African Unity (OAU, 1963–99), with the aim of driving Africa’s growth and economic development by focusing on increased cooperation and integration of African states. This marked a departure from the goals of the OAU, which had focused on the fight for decolonisation and ridding the continent of apartheid.

The successful implementation of the AU programmes requires adequate, predictable and sustainable funding to better harness the continent’s vast natural and human resources to deliver future growth and development as envisioned in Africa’s Agenda 2063.

Currently, activities are funded from contributions from treasuries of African states and developmental partners on a yearly basis.

However 72% of the AU budget is funded by external partners, which creates risks associated with fiscal constraints experienced by the economies of these partners and overdependence, thereby undermining ownership of programmes by Africans.

The goal is therefore is to have adequate, reliable and predictable financing, to implement the AU’s programmes. Resources mobilised from the continent through non-treasury means provide the alternative sources of financing required to reverse the current trend where external partners continue to inject more resources to fund the AU. In 2016 Heads of State and Government of the AU decided to adopt a new approach towards financing the programmes of the African Union.

Structured within the concept of Alternative Sources of Funds (ASF) this change in strategy aims at easing the pressure faced by national treasuries by proposing binding and nonbinding non-treasury funds to be applied across all Member States. Funds collected from these sources will leverage treasury funds for supporting the running of the AU and fund its programmes.

Specifically, the decision on financing of the AU will: 1.

Provide reliable and predictable funding for continental peace and security initiatives through the Peace Fund; 2.

Relieve the pressure on national treasuries with respect to meeting national obligations for payment of assessed contributions of the Union; 3.

Reduce dependency on partner funds for implementation of continental development and integration programmes; and 4.

Provide an equitable and predictable source of financing for the Union.

What is being proposed?

In order to streamline the implementation of non-treasury resources and make it equitable and more efficient to collect, it is proposed that Member States agree to one common source to apply universally to all parties. For ease of collection and in terms of yield, an import levy of 0.2% will be imposed on eligible imports. This will yield up to $1.4bn annually with almost 50% of it to be retained at country level.

and rail infrastructure projects to improve connectivity.

•

Funding national development initiatives: Where there is excess collection of nontreasury funds, member states will be allowed to retain 95% to be used at country level for developmental initiatives. The remaining 5% will be placed in a Reserve Fund. The excess collection will therefore leverage the treasury funds in financing important programmes at national level.

•

Supporting education: The Pan African University trains youth in various disciplines in a culturally diverse environment. So far 500 youth have graduated from the various campuses in the sciences and other disciplines.

•

Provision of e-services: The Pan African e-Network Project connects member states by satellite and fibre optic network and provides services of tele-education, telemedicine, and diplomatic communication, benefiting over 48 member states. To date, 20,000 students have been enrolled from 39 participating countries in various undergraduate and graduate disciplines in different universities. A total of 600 tele-medicine consultations are conducted annually, and about 4,600 continuous medical education sessions were done through the satellite network, saving thousands of lives across in the process.

•

Support for management of health crises: The establishment of the Africa Centres for Disease Control (Africa CDC), which will work to safeguard Africa’s health, is an indication of Africa’s determination to take charge of health-related matters on the continent by building the capacity and capability of member states to manage health crises

•

Advocating African common positions in the global arena on matters sensitive to the development and social stability of the continent, such as Climate change, migration and intercontinental partnerships.

An oversight and accountability mechanism that was approved by the Executive Council will be strictly implemented to ensure the proper utilisation of the funds. In addition, visibility to African citizens through various mechanisms will ensure that African citizens have a greater say in the use and accountability of the funds.

Benefits of the new strategy Funds collected will form a pool to enable the AU to finance programmes of continental importance that would be less cost-effective to implement at individual country level or are of high policy relevance to the continent, especially in its dealing with international partners, and require unified action. These include: •

•

Financing peace and security operations: The successes of the AU-led African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) is helping to contain the insurgent activities of Al Shabaab and other terrorist groups in Eastern Africa.

Rolling out flagship projects: such as the Continental Free Trade Area (CFTA), and energy projects, like the Grand Inga Dam, which if financed from pooled resources, could supply electricity to virtually the entire continent. Equally important are road

TOWARDS A HAPPIER WORLD

WELL-BEING BUDGET FOR NEW ZEALAND

GLOBAL REPORTS ON HAPPINESS

NEW MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR RURAL NIGERIANS

ll The government of New Zealand is developing a new budget process that intends to align policymaking with the well-being of the nation’s citizens, rather than just relying on economic measures such as GDP. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has stated that for her government’s ministries to receive funding, they will need to explain how their policies will “improve the well-being of New Zealanders across generations.” Ms. Arden made headlines last year for becoming the first world leader to have a baby and take maternity leave while in office, demonstrating the importance of work-life balance for personal well-being, even for heads of government.

ll The annual World Happiness Report, prepared by an independent group of academics, ranks the nations of the world according to the results of the Gallup World Poll, which surveys people around the world about their lives and their views of the countries they live in.

The resulting report, available online at www.worldhappiness.report, assesses factors such as migration, obesity, and even the availability of coffee on levels of happiness experienced in a society.

A companion publication, Global Happiness Policy Report (downloadable at www.happinesscouncil.org) seeks to give specific guidance to policymakers and government agencies seeking to promote happiness and well-being in their countries. The report proposes over 100 practical solutions in areas such as good governance, education and health care.

ll A new collaboration between Yale University and Imo State University Teaching Hospital seeks to increase access to mental health services in Nigeria’s rural areas. The HAPPINESS Project (Health Action for Psychiatric Problems In Nigeria including Epilepsy and Substances), was founded last year by Thaddeus Iheanacho, a Nigerian professor at the Yale School of Medicine. So far, the project has trained over 36 primary care workers from across Imo State on how to provide basic treatment for mental illness. Dr. Iheanacho has plans to expand the reach of the program using mobile apps and telemedicine technology, which are currently in the pilot phase.

HAPPINESS EDUCATION IN INDIAN SCHOOLS

NEW $260 MILLION FUND FOR MENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH

ll Government schools in New Delhi introduced a new “happiness curriculum” last year that was developed by the Dalai Lama. Consisting of short daily lessons, with no books or tests, the instruction seeks to inculcate moral values, integrity and mindfulness among the more than 800,000 students in the capital city’s school district. Some early reports have indicated that not just students, but the teachers also have reported positive effects from the program.

ll At this year’s World Economic Forum in Davos, The Wellcome Trust, a British charity, announced a new $260 million fund for mental health research. The funding will be made available to researchers from around the world, with a focus on seeking more effective treatments for the over 600 million people worldwide who suffer from anxiety and depression.

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.

In the heart of Ethiopia’s Harenna Forest, Ziyad Kemal raises a piece of plastic drainpipe to his mouth, purses his lips and blows. The sound that reverberates through the lush Afromontane vegetation – a cross between a soft roar and a guttural woof – starts a family of alarmed giant forest hogs running for the dense undergrowth, while overhead a troop of black-and-white colobus monkeys sets up a chorus of chattering and barking. Across the dripping landscape, adrenalinefuelled hearts beat a little faster.

Kemal’s impressively life-like efforts are staged, but the effect they generate is all too real. They may be secretive, but nothing brings the Harenna forest’s animal community to attention like the sound of a prowling black-maned lion.

32

SELAMTAMAGAZINE.COM

“We hear these lions calling in the distance, and we often see their prints and scat, but we rarely see them,” says Kemal, who works as a guide in the nearby Bale Mountain Lodge. “There’s only one real road and a few trails running through the forest, so it’s hard to get to the places the lions usually frequent. I guess that’s why they stay there.”

It’s little surprise that Harenna’s blackmaned lions are wary of humans. While they once represented former Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie, and were immortalised in a song by reggae legend Bob Marley, today they have disappeared from much of Ethiopia, mirroring a decline across much of Africa. Over the course of the last century Africa’s lion population has declined by as much as 85%, and the cats have now disappeared from 26 countries altogether.

“The lion is still considered a national icon and an important element of Ethiopian culture and identity,” says Dr. Zelealem Tefera Ashenafi, country head of UK-headquartered conservation group the Born Free Foundation. “Yet the truth is an increasing human population, habitat destruction and growing livestock numbers mean this majestic animal now faces multiple challenges to its survival.”

NATURAL ADAPTATION Conservationists estimate there are now around 1,000 to 1,500 Ethiopian lions left in the wild.

These can be found mainly in remote areas bordering South Sudan and Somalia, as well as in a scattering of national parks in the centre and east of the country.

Lions are more adaptable than most people realise. While African lions typically prefer dry

forest and savannah areas with thick bush and scrub, which offer sufficient cover for hunting, Ethiopia is home to several populations living in high altitude, Afromontane cloud forest. Their fur is thicker than savannah lions, due to the colder, damper environment, and scientists are still unsure whether they should be listed as a separate subspecies.

While the manes of male lions can display a huge variation (those in hot climates may have almost no mane at all), those from the Ethiopian highlands are typically dark and heavy.

“It has been proven that lions living in colder environments grow thicker, longer manes,” says Born Free’s Zelealem. “Female lions have also been shown to prefer males with darker manes, even when they’re short. Mane length may be an indication of the health of the lion, like mane colour, but length is probably more closely related to temperature and climate.”

The 4,000 square-kilometre Harenna Forest is one of the largest in Ethiopia. Much of this falls within the boundaries of the Bale Mountains National Park, which is also famous for its population of endangered Ethiopian wolves. The cloud-wreathed landscape here is straight out of a Grimms’ fairy tale, with the gnarled limbs of giant 36

heather and fig trees swathed in carpets of moss and wisps of beard-like lichen. This is the kind of place where you feel the trees come alive and start whispering to each other every night.

The Harenna Forest is currently thought to support around 50 lions, but Guy Levene, British owner of the popular Bale Mountain Lodge, believes the population may be significantly larger.

“This is a huge expanse of forest that has hardly been explored at all,” says the keen conservationist.

“From the numbers of lions that we and our guests have encountered in the past, I would say there are probably more. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t under pressure and don’t need better protection.”

CATS IN CONFLICT As the sun dips, shadows claw their way across the floor of the Harenna Forest. Overhead, high up in the lichen-draped trees, barrel-shaped structures glow as they catch the last rays of a golden twilight. Wedged between mighty forks, these strange contraptions resemble the cocoons of some giant insect. They are, in fact, bamboo beehives.

In the Bale Mountains, honey production is a pillar industry and those with many forest beehives have a high social standing. In the village of Rira, the main gateway to the Harenna Forest, the local honey is famous for its creamy texture and pale hazelnut colour.

While honey production is a more-or-less sustainable activity, other activities carried out by communities such as Rira have a far more damaging impact on the Harenna Forest and its lion population. As with many of the other Ethiopian areas where lions exist, wildlife is threatened by excessive livestock grazing, firewood collection, agricultural expansion and wildfires.

“There is increasing pressure on many areas of the park, including the forest,” says Aschalew Gashew, chief park warden of the Bale Mountains National Park. “There is a long tradition of

ETHIOPIAN LION LOWDOWN Ethiopia is thought to have eight or nine separate lion populations. In 2015, a research team found evidence of lions residing in Dinder National Park in Sudan, and the adjacent Alatash National Park in Ethiopia. Between 100 and 200 lions could possibly exist between these two parks, with 27 - 54 in the Ethiopian section.

raising livestock in Ethiopia, and the numbers of animals owned by local communities are increasing. We try to control grazing on park territory, but it isn’t easy.”

Ish Teshome Nedi, the headmaster at Rira primary school, says residents of the village have always lived in harmony with the forest – and its lions – but more needs to be done to improve environmental awareness and living conditions.

“The forest is our libsachininagursachin (clothing and bread),” says the well-respected teacher. “We don’t have a problem with the animals living there and we don’t hunt wild herbivores because we know these are the prey of the lions. But it would be good to see more investment in the village as a result of our efforts.”

TIMELY REDISCOVERY Ethiopian lion conservation was given a welcome boost in late 2015 with the “discovery” of a lion population in the 2,600 square-kilometre Alatash National Park, in the northwest of the country. Led by Dr. Hans Bauer, a lion specialist with Oxford University’s Wildlife Conservation Research Unit (WildCRU), a small expedition

managed to capture a picture of an Alatash lioness on a camera trap.

The Alatash protected area borders the larger, 7,000 square-kilometre Dinder National Park in Sudan. A little like the Harenna Forest, this entire transboundary ecosystem is remote and remains little explored. Far more research needs to be carried out, but Bauer estimates the lion population in Alatash may be around 50 animals, with up to 200 across the entire Alatash-Dinder area.

“The viability of such a small population (in Alatash) depends strongly on connectivity with the neighbouring population in Dinder,” says the Dutchman. “The main threats are prey depletion, killing by nomadic herdsmen and agricultural encroachment. It would be great to see increased law enforcement in the park, coupled with implementation of the park management plan.”

Despite their confirmed presence in Alatash, today the future of Ethiopia’s lions hangs in the balance. More research and better protection is urgently required. This, coupled with the development of nature-based tourism, could see the country’s magnificent black-maned big cats yet stage a comeback.

“Countries such as Botswana, Kenya and Tanzania have shown that lions and other iconic wildlife can support thriving, sustainable tourism industries,” says Born Free’s Zelealem. “As the forest lions of Harenna have shown, this is a resilient species. In Ethiopia, we must find ways to relieve the pressure on these beautiful animals and give them enough space in which to thrive.”

PATRICK TOURNEBOEUF, STATION F

prawling across 34,000 square meters, Station F in the 13th arrondissement of Paris is the biggest startup incubator in the world. Situated in a former rail freight depot, previously known as the Halle Freyssinet (hence the ‘F’ in Station F), the behemoth was extensively remodeled, now sporting 3,000-plus desks, 1,000 different startup companies, a 370-seat auditorium, multimillion-dollar art installations and La Felicità, Europe’s largest restaurant.

Add to that, a unique living space of three towers containing 100 shared apartments, housing 600 people.

The man behind the project is telecoms magnate, Xavier Niel. He noticed that the French ecosystem had many great startups, startup programmes and investors but they were very small and dispersed. So, Niel set about creating a big space to bring the ecosystem together. But, in addition to their nation’s own, Station F is also striving for international companies and socio-economic diversity. This led to the launch of the ‘Fighters Program’ dedicated to entrepreneurs from underprivileged backgrounds.

Businesses are indeed blossoming within its walls. There are 31 international startup programmes alongside high-profile corporate partners such as Facebook, Microsoft and Naver. Hundreds of startups are also raising funds behind closed doors, largely because Station F has helped to put them on the map. And the word is spreading, with Station F considering opening in other countries, including Brazil and Tunisia.

t is a sight now familiar to Amanda and Patrick Retzlaff, who adopted over 100 horses during unrest in Zimbabwe, painstakingly leading them into Mozambique just over a decade ago.

The Retzlaffs, who started with only six horses, watched their herd rapidly grow in numbers as friends and strangers alike brought their horses to them in the hopes that the Retzlaffs could take them in. The Retzlaffs eventually decided to take these horses into Mozambique in search of peace, which they eventually found in a quaint, coastal town called Vilanculos.

Since the Retzlaffs arrived broke and empty-handed, Vilanculos has become a paradise and a haven for the couple and their herd. With their new farm located only 5km south from Vilanculos’ International Airport, they saw an opportunity to fill a niche and find a place for their family to settle.

The Retzlaffs began offering horseback safaris that could appeal to either the most seasoned equestrians looking for an immersive riding holiday, or day-trippers and overnighters simply looking at horseback as a unique way to visit the local fishing communities and see the landscape.

Today, Mozambique Horse Safari offers horseback safari packages for any budget, skill level and duration. Rides can range from simple one-and-a-half hour saunters down the beach, to a four-hour roundtrip to a village where traditional Mozambican cuisine awaits — such as grilled fish and succulent crab, a local peanut and cassava stew, and sweet coconut water poured out of freshly-cracked coconuts. There are also opportunities to spend a day

riding on idyllic Benguerra Island, as well as riding bareback in the placid, warm ocean, cantering up sand dunes, and trotting along trails snaking past emerald-green mangroves.

Those who choose to stay overnight have the option of either the adjacent Archipelago Resort or the luxurious Vila de Sonhos. Both charming beachfront accommodations are on manicured properties with flowering bushes and baobab trees. A morning coffee or an afternoon beer is accompanied with porch views of swaying coconut trees

and turquoise ocean studded with lulling, vibrant sailboats.

When watching these horses playfully roll in the water, dig at the sand, and nudge visitors’ pockets in an attempt to look for treats, it’s difficult to imagine what they went through before arriving where they are today. While walking through the quiet paddock where the horses laze in dapples of late afternoon sunlight, it’s obvious that the Retzlaffs have done something extraordinary — they built a sanctuary.

On the Cutting-Edge: The Ethiopian Women Shaping Science

SEGENET KELEMU

SOSSINA HAILE

The Plant Pathologist

The Chemist Reinventing Fuel

Considered by Bill Gates as a ‘hero in her field’, Dr. Segenet’s passion for plants began as a child. Born to a farming couple in Finote Selam in 1957, Segenet sold her family’s produce at the local market. She saw both the difficult labor that went into producing crops as well as the effect disease had on the farm’s ultimate profitability. But it was when Segenet witnessed a swarm of locusts wipe out the crops in her village that the situation of regional hunger hit home, sparking her life’s research in molecular plant pathology.

Since then Dr. Segenet has dedicated her life to improving the crops of Africa with a goal to end regional hunger in areas that have poor farming outcomes. She attended Addis Ababa University, graduating in 1979. She continued her studies at Montana State University, receiving her MSc in plant pathology and genetics before completing a PhD in Plant Pathology and Molecular Biology at Kansas State University.

Dr. Segenet conducted her postdoctoral research in molecular deterrents of pathogenesis at Cornell University.

In November 2013, Dr. Segenet was appointed Director General of the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology, the first woman to head the institution.

Based in Nairobi, Dr. Segenet focuses on studying the microorganisms that exist in plants growing across the plains of Africa to understand how plants survive the often-harsh weather patterns, which can lead to floods and persistent droughts.

Dr. Segenet has received numerous awards and recognition for her work, including Outstanding Scientist of the Year (CIAT, 2013) and inclusion in Forbes’ Top 100 Most Influential African Women (2014). Her most recent accolade came in September 2018 with the Women of the Decade award, the highest recognition conferred by the Women Economic Forum.

Dr. Sossina Haile is a chemist who, in her own words, ‘likes to think big’. And she is living this edict out, revolutionizing the energy industry with her invention of the first solid acid fuel cell – an entirely new way to fuel our world, reduce pollution and give us our most precious resource as a by-product: water.

Born in 1966 in Ethiopia, Dr. Sossina’s family fled to seek refuge in America during the mid-70s. She was raised in Minnesota and graduated from high school in 1983, going on to study at the Max Planck Institut fur Festkörperforschung in Germany.

Sossina continued her studies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology before attending the University of California in Berkeley and later returning to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for her PhD in Materials Science and Engineering.

Dr. Sossina’s research into solid acid fuel cells began in 2008 when she had an idea on how to improve upon existing fuel cells. She invented a new type of compound, labeled ‘Superprotonic’, in order to supply the needed energy. While the prototypes were impressive and promising, Dr. Sossina needed to increase the energy output in order to achieve her goal of replacing the current fuel system in place. This led Dr. Sossina to found her own lab in Pasadena, Ca, where she created a fuel cell based on the mechanisms of plants, that harnesses all available sun rays and processes it into electrical output. This offers exceptional power densities combined with long-term stability.

Currently a Professor at Northwestern McCormick School of Engineering near Chicago, Dr. Sossina continues to research and develop her fuel cell to allow for broad application in both residential and commercial use. This would enable significant powering of cars, lights, homes and businesses while reducing fossil fuel consumption and by-product pollution.

Meet four leading Ethiopian women scientists who are tackling some of the most important issues in science and technology affecting the world today

MAHLET MESFIN

TIMNIT GEBRU

The Science Diplomat

The AI Innovator

Self-described ‘lover of science and tech, international affairs, equality, justice and adventures’, Dr. Mahlet Mesfin is at the forefront of Science Diplomacy. Her interest in the intersections of science, policy and society stretches back to her time at the University of Pennsylvania, where she was doing a PhD in bioengineering and studying traumatic brain injury. This included learning about the safety standards for football helmet design and demonstrating the role that science can play in addressing societal problems. About halfway through her PhD program, Dr. Mahlet started thinking about connections outside the micro world of proteins to the macro world of science-society issues.

Dr. Mahlet’s life’s work began as AAAS S&T Policy fellow at the Department of Defense's Basic Research Office. She then moved on to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) in which she came in as a fellow and, two title changes later, lets as Assistant Director for International Science and Technology (S&T). She led the strategic planning, coordination and execution of the S&Tfocused bilateral and multilateral engagements under the responsibility of the President’s Science Advisor, strengthened international engagements across OSTP, and championed science and technology as an element of the broader U.S. government’s foreign policy agenda. Dr. Mahlet was also a policy fellow with the Committee for Women in Science, Engineering, and Medicine at the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and Engineering and remains a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

Dr. Mahlet is currently the Deputy Director of the Center for Science Diplomacy at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and executive editor of the open-access policy journal Science & Diplomacy.

Technical co-lead of the Ethical Artificial Intelligence Team at Google, Timnit Gebru is a Computer Scientist at the forefront of AI, working on algorithmic bias and data mining. She is also an advocate for diversity in technology and cofounder of Black in Al, a community of black researchers working in artificial intelligence.

Born and raised in Ethiopia, Dr. Timnit emigrated to the United States to study at Stanford University, where she earned her Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in electrical engineering. A stint at Apple followed, developing signal processing algorithms for the first iPad. Dr. Timnit then earned her doctorate under the supervision of Fei-Fei Liat Stanford University in 2017 where she used data mining of publicly available images. She was interested in the amount of money spent by governmental and non-governmental organizations in trying to collect information about communities. To investigate alternatives, Dr. Timnit combined deep learning with Google Street View to estimate the demographics of USA neighborhoods; showing that socioeconomic attributes such as voting patterns, income, race and education can be inferred from observations of cars.

Dr. Timnit now works at Google on the ethics of artificial intelligence, looking to improve the ability of technology to do social good. She also collaborates with the MIT research group Gender Shades. Dr. Timnit worked with GhanaianAmerican computer scientist Joy Buolamwini to investigate facial recognition software; finding that black women were 35 % less likely to be recognized than white men. When Dr. Timnit attended an AI conference in 2016, she noticed that she was the only black woman out of 8,500 delegates. This led to Dr. Timnit founding Black in AI, an organization fostering collaboration and discussing initiatives to increase the representation of black people in artificial intelligence.

atermelons!

Watermelons!

Watermelons!” We are on the road to Bishoftu, just before Christmas, which is also, it seems, watermelon season: great mountains of striped green globes are piled onto straw mats every few kilometres along the road. Finally, we have to stop and get a few, and they roll around the floor of the car, cool despite the increasing heat.

There are all sorts of trips one can take when visiting Ethiopia, and more appear all the time – community treks in the Simien mountains; foodie’s tours of Addis; the historic route, of course (Axum, Lalibela, Gondar), to which there are myriad guides and tours – but 56

if one is travelling with small children, especially children unfamiliar with Ethiopia, some of these experiences will go down better than others.

And this one, a guided tour of Rift Valley lakes, arranged by Ethiopian Holidays (the Rift itself, as our knowledgeable guide, Alene Mirayo, points out, begins much further north, at the Red Sea, and continues down into Kenya), is ticking lots of boxes.

There’s all the fruit and vegetables – watermelons, of course, but also papaya, mango, bananas, sugar cane, fresh chickpeas to pick and pod — I had remembered how tasty these were, from my own childhood, so when Alene jumps out to ask a farmer if he has any, they’re picked straight out of the

ground and handed over. Then there are the animals: zebu and sheep being driven to market, ragged lines of camels picking their way through the fields, patient donkeys, clattering, bouncing horse-drawn garris. And chickens, lots of chickens — piled in coops, hand-carried by small boys to market, or tied to the roofs of cars. Just outside Bishoftu, our calm driver, Mulugeta Demissie, stops at one of the many nurseries that front onto the main road. They’re packed with a vast variety of plants – everything from small succulents and lush flowering ground-cover to fan palms, bottle-brush, neem and flame trees. We buy a coffee tree, as a gift. (At Modjo, a small town not far away, there is an Israeli-run strawberry farm, another

attraction for families). In the fields, more oxen are threshing the recent harvest, and crops of garlic, onions, kale, are dark green against the dry-season dust. We’ll leave the volcanic crater lakes of Bishoftu for another trip, another day.

On the road again, past vineyards, past the lake formed by Qoqa Dam (built with war reparations from Italy after the second world war; once wide and deep, the reservoir has become increasingly sedimented, and is, further, being taken over by invasive South American water hyacinth), to Lake Ziway, where we bounce down an unpaved road and then get out of the car. Already this feels very different from Addis and even Bishoftu: It’s warmer, for one thing. But also there are the birds: marabou storks everywhere, stalking through tussocks of grass like old, not especially welldisposed lawyers. African fish-eagles watching beady-eyed from the tops of trees, then taking off, wingspans like small airplanes, to hunt. Egrets, and hosts of smaller birds. A few flamingos inspect the still water (the place to see them properly, in their pink thousands, is Lake Abijatta, not many kilometres away). And at the end of the road there is a jetty, and the main lake, calm, reeded at its shores, smelling faintly of fish. There are islands in the distance. The story is that the Ark of the Covenant, now in Axum, was kept on Tullo Gudo island for 70 years, brought down from the north by priests fleeing the 9th-century wars of Queen Yodit.

Lunch is in the stylish quiet of Sabana Lodge, looking down at the brown water of the Lake Langano, one of the six Rift

Valley lakes wholly within Ethiopia.

Vivid birds fly among the tables, hopeful for scraps, and in the garden four slow tortoises bask in the sun. Down at the lakeshore, there is a playground, and volleyball net, and a floating swimming platform complete with slide. As this is the only one of the lakes in which it is possible to swim (we are told it’s free of bilharzia), we take full advantage.

We drive through the busy crossroads town of Shashemene, past gated, wealthier houses, Bob Marley murals

Bottom right: Hawassa is home to a wide variety of birdlife, including this African fish-eagle with its freshly-caught meal

and T-shirts (Emperor Haile Selassie donated a plot of land to black people and especially Rastafarians across the world who had supported Ethiopia during the second world war; many still live here); half an hour later we arrive among the wide roads and tree-shaded sidewalks of the city of Hawassa, set on Lake Hawassa, another freshwater Rift Valley lake. There are many places to stay in this thriving town, but we are in a room with lake views at Haile Resort, one of a chain of hotels opened by the retired world record distance runner and Olympic gold medallist Haile Gebrselassie. Not only lake views, but views over an infinity pool, a vast old sycamore, and west, over the reeded water into the sunset.

First thing the next morning, we are at the fish market. The catch has already been hauled in and the wooden boats pulled up onto the shore, where boys sit sorting the nets ready to cast out again late that afternoon. Storks stalk among them, tall as tall children, and egrets, and more fish-eagles, looking for the remains of tilapia (the main catch, of which each boat can bring in anything from a handful to 150 every morning), and of catfish. A flotilla of pelicans arrives, too, hovering watchful, but somewhat more kindly, in the water around the boats. On one side of the market, under the shadow of Tabor Mountain, is a mess of men fish-gutting; at the centre the fish are cleaned, often for restaurants but MARCH/APRIL 2019

It’s all volcanic, but some of it has been heated so much it’s light and porous, like charcoal made of stone; some of it is dense shiny obsidian that when knocked with another piece of obsidian splits easily into sharp shards usable as weapons, as knives, as fire-starters. This is what the first hominids who walked these plains did, millions of years ago, and what shepherd boys (as Alene himself was, before he put himself through school and tourism college) still do.

After lunch at the town of Butajira, we drive across the plain. The landscape is strikingly different here from that

also for the row of nearby lean-tos in which women tend bubbling pots of fish stew for sale. Next to the market is a waterfront park, and so we stroll through huge old trees loud with birds, Zambian squirrels, grivet and guereza monkeys — some of whom are habituated enough they will jump up on your head or shoulders for a snack.

But the undeniable highlight of the day is the boat trip we take in the late afternoon. The boatman motors out through a path cut in the reeds, past silent men patiently hand-fishing alongside tall cormorants doing more or less the same thing, into open water and toward a different section of shore.

And there, dark knobbly shapes in the water, are hippos: five or six of them, two of the adults supporting a small baby hippo on their shoulders. They dip out of sight, rise again elsewhere, huff when we get too close; the boatman cuts the engine and rows, and we bob on the water, thrilled (and some of us, aware of how big and wild they actually are, slightly scared), watching them.

We take a different route home, turning left at Ziway instead of toward Langano. It’s an intensely windy day, the dust picked up and swirled across the fields and roads so it’s hard to see a thing – but this is so unusual a state of affairs that it makes the news. The sides of the rift are occasionally visible as insistent small cliffs at the side of the road, and at once the car is climbing a winding road, and up into the highlands. Here we get out. The wind howls across the plains and threatens to knock us over. The ground is rocky, rubbled with black. Alene picks

Tiya is a world heritage site consisting of 36 stones, which mark graves of individuals who died around 700 years ago and were buried in the foetal position

through the Rift Valley. There’s more eucalyptus, more grasses, the air smells different: classic Ethiopian highlands.

Not counting the holy mountain of Zuqwala, a huge extinct volcano topped by a crater lake which towers in the distance, there are at least three main points of interest between here and Addis Ababa: the Tiya stelae-field, the rock-hewn church of Adadi Mariam, and Melka Kunture, an important Stone Age archaeological site and museum. We haven’t time to see all of them before dark so we plump for the first two, and, for the adults at least, they are hugely rewarding. (All are accessible as day trips from the capital). Tiya is a world heritage site consisting of 36 stones, most engraved, marking the resting-places, about 700 years ago, of men and women buried in foetal position; the setting is high and beautiful, and the whole area has an old, quiet power. Adadi Mariam, with its 24 windows hewn out of the ground sometime between the 12th and 14th centuries, and its legends of having been built by Lalibela himself, who rested here on his way to pay his respects to Zuqwala, has none of the sheer scale of the churches at Lalibela, but is all the more moving for it: intimate, domestic, at the centre of its community. We pile back into the car, and watch the sunset as it climbs up the mountain, into the intense bustle of Addis Ababa.

8 a.m. Dubai has numerous lodging

options, spanning every price range.

While many tourists flock to hotels near the city’s most popular attractions, for visitors on a short stay, checking in to a hotel near the airport can save priceless minutes when trying to catch an early morning flight. The Egyptian-themed Raffles Dubai is not only a top hotel 60

in the Bur Dubai area, close to Dubai International Airport, it is also the number one rated hotel in the entire city, according to TripAdvisor.com. The hotel is also close to the historic Dubai Creek area, which is often overlooked by visitors seeking out the area’s many larger-than-life attractions.

9 a.m. While Raffles Dubai offers

several excellent options for breakfast, it’s worth taking a short cab ride to the XVA Cafe in Bur Dubai, reportedly celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s favorite café in the city. Known for its regionally-inspired vegetarian menu and “legendary” mint lemonade, XVA Cafe offers everything from hearty Arabian breakfast dishes to fruit-filled crepes and Turkish coffee.

Conveniently, the cafe is located inside the XVA Gallery, one of the leading

contemporary art galleries in the Middle East, housed in the former home of a prominent local trading family. Take a stroll through the latest exhibitions before heading out, on foot, to your next destination.

10 a.m. Stroll down Al Fahidi Street

to the Dubai Museum, located in the 200-year old Al Fahidi Fort, believed to be the oldest building in the Emirate.

With most of its galleries located underground, the museum offers a detailed overview of the history of Dubai, its people and Emirati culture.

Just a few blocks inland is the famous Gold Souk, where hundreds of shops lining a maze of narrow streets sell a seemingly endless selection of gold jewelry and precious stones. With enough searching and haggling, bargains can be found here, but even if you’re not interested in buying anything, it’s worth visiting.

12 p.m. After experiencing all that

old Dubai has to offer, it’s time to take in the ultra-modern side that the city is world-famous for. Take a taxi to the Dubai Mall, the biggest of the city’s many mega-malls, and the largest shopping mall in the world.

This massive shopping emporium is a city unto itself, with over 1,200 stores selling virtually every kind of product.

Before delving into more shopping, take a break for lunch at Tribes, a

the opulent beach-front Ritz-Carlton, Dubai to dine at Amaseena. Featuring authentic Arabic cuisine served under Bedouin-style tents with live Arab music performances, this outdoor restaurant offers a feast, not just of the palate, but for all of the senses. From over a dozen mezze plates to fresh grilled kebabs to a wide range of seafood offerings, the Amaseena menu promises a dining experience to remember.

8:30 p.m. After dinner, head back

down the boardwalk and over the walking bridge to the one of Dubai’s newest attractions, Bluewaters Island.

Take in a late-night movie at Roxy Cinemas, which features retro decor and plush leather seats, or get your adrenaline pumping with immersive virtual-reality gaming at the high-tech recreation center, Hub Zero.
