because ethiopia has a strong relationship with china, it is fairly easy for ethiopia to say wait a minute, we know where we can get additional help if we need it. of course the united states has other concerns in antioquia in terms of its policy. it does certainly complicate the ability of the united states to pursue an improvement in human rights policies and practices and good governance. in terms of china's long-term investment or its investment in the continent and its impact on the long-term, i think i would have to basically give them a positive response to that. they have indeed gone heavily into infrastructure, but they have done that because that is precisely what the africans have requested and the africans were requesting an improvement in infrastructure at a time in the west had basically opted out. angola is a classic old following the civil war in angola at the beginning of this century when it came to an end. the angolans wanted the west to come in, invests a lot of money to rebuild their infrastructure and the west essentially said no, we are really not that interested at

estimate of last year i went to ethiopia and met with the president. we had a 30 minute meeting at 25 minutes into the meeting i asked the president incidentally what is the story of the presence of china in ethiopia? the meeting went on for 35 more minutes and basically is message was pretty straightforward. we think the united states has given up on africa. china hasn't. china is invested in a way that nobody has ever seen before. and we've noticed it, she says, in terms of the chinese in their interest in our energy, our raw material, cheap labor, the opportunity for a growing middle class to buy their products and he said they come with concessional loans many times saying we will give you 100 million just payback 70 million but of the project is so long as there are chinese engineers and contractors and the workers are chinese and so there's a pretty substantial presence in chinese ethiopia and in other african countries so they clearly have a plan and they are executing it. one foreign minister told me as i described this he said there is one oth

one of the ambassadors of ethiopia told me i'm no longer running an embassy here.'m running a morgue. >> reporter: there are an estimated 200,000 migrant workers in lebanon, a large number for a country with a population of just 4 million. abuses against them so common that the philippines, nepal and ethiopia have banned their citizens from coming to lebanon as migrant workers. although many are so desperate, they find a way around the ban. like hannah. she says she had no choice but to come to lebanon three years ago to support her family in ethiopia after her father died. her first employer sexually harassed her. i couldn't be the way he wanted. i came only to work, not to do anything else, she tells us. he would offer money, offer me things if i would accept. eventually his wife found out about her husband's advances and hannah says he beat them both. she went to the ethiopian embassy but was so desperate for money, she took another job at another household rather than return home. there she says she suffered both physical and verbal abuse, which she would have
