addis ababa, capital city of ethiopia.n center that will both confirm and confound expectations. fueled largely by direct foreign investment and a returning ethiopian diaspora eager to be part of the new growth, things are changing in addis. it's one of the fastest growing economies in the world. it's not the first time the place has gone through a growth spurt. in the 1950s, emperor haile selassie, known as "the king of kings," embarked on a similar program of massive public works. this was supposed to be the legacy of ethiopia. the future. but the next time ethiopia found itself in the headlines, it was for this. and for many of us, that was the end of the story. so i'm looking forward to this week. >> marcus: i can't wait to show you ethiopia. >> anthony: i've been waiting for you. i mean, i'll tell you right now -- >> marcus: you couldn't have picked a better time because we have old ethiopia right here, and we also have new ethiopia right here, and, that's like, that combo -- it's gonna be so cool. >> anthony: marcus

of this huge landscape, huge mountain chain of ethiopia is critical not only for ethiopia, but also for the entire region. consider egypt, look at the sudan, where six percent of the nile flows to these countries. how can you support life in egypt without restotoring ethiopia's mmountains? so t this is regional, nationan, and internatational. >> environmental degradation is not only a problem for the dry regions of ethiopia. it can be just a as devastating for countrieses like rwanda, where rainfall is plentiful. this tiny country is grappling with the problem of growing popopulation trying to eke out a living on a finite amount of land. as in china and d ethiopia, over-farming on the hillsides caused serious erosion and a decline in fertility, forcing pooror farmers to move into protected areas, such as the rugezi wetlands, a wwildlife e site of intntnational importance. when farmers drained thiis marsh to try toto grow m more food, they not only damaged an important wetland ecosystem, they also had a significant impact thrree hours drive away in kigalali, the capital city. the wat

also this week hydro economics why it's pitting egypt against ethiopia and stirring up tension along the knowledge base plus confusion over what the u.k. wants from its e.u. divorce is braggs it failing. china's president xi jinping is looking to the future and it is one built on things like electric cars an artificial intelligence of the next five years he wants to create what he calls a country of innovators the latest call to action was laid out of the communist party conference china is home to the world's largest online population but beijing maintains a tight grip on the internet through new technology and is still closing off markets to foreign competitors adrian brown has more from beijing. this is the party congress where president xi jinping is stamping his authority by mapping out his vision for china for the next thirty years. shining the banner of socialism with chinese characteristics is now flying high for the world to see it will be an era that is china moving closer to the center stage close to the great hall of the people where the party congress is taking place is

disagrees most of egypt's nar water originates in ethiopia and it wants the four point eight billion dollar dam to help boost its own economy. well joining us now from portland oregon is calling for and calling is a professor and chair of physical geography at the u.k. based nottingham university thanks very much for being with us calling i want to ask you first of all what do you see as the potential impact of this dam not only on ethiopia but on the downstream countries sudan and egypt the building of a great dam. is bound to have impacts both locally and throughout the the river system it's all one joined up system however the way that it's done and the way that it's built and the way that it's failed in the way that it's managed kind of. massively reduced those impacts and if the addition of another dam to to a river is done in a coordinated fashion with the existing dams and water resource development then actually the addition of a time can be beneficial so it's all in the way that you do it and the way that you operate the time afterwards and is it being done right here is it

for ethiopia. also, when he was in ethiopia as -- his pilot was also following stories for the associated negro press. so it was about this journalistic enterprise not unlike the associated press register with us but is a news agency that plants these articles in the black press of course, you are graced here with the l.a. sentinel and the la watch times to just name two of the members of that thriving enterprise. but it also tells a story, an alternative history of that. from 1966 to 1967 because book cover stories of the mainstream press, the new york times, washington post, etc. where ignoring. and so, i was able to tell alternative history through looking at this. and that their archives is one of the richest archives i would say the entire field of african-american studies. a 50 kilobit is on microfilm which means it is accessible anywhere and some of it is not on microfilm and can be found in chicago and the chicago history museum. i recommend this for students or anyone for that matter. beca

i have stories here about of course like people taking their skills to ethiopia, brazil, etc. and there were a number of attempts by black americans to establish airlines, but this is where these two stories connect, because claude burnett was also an investor in hand american airways. so when james robinson comes to him with the idea of investing in what becomes ethiopian airways, is a bit reluctant, because he feels it would have undermined his investment in pan american airways, that's the paradox of jim crow that i talk about. so those enterprises mostly did not take flight, if i can use that metaphor, not least because the competition was so stiff. if you look at all the airlines that have gone down the tubes in the united states, an american, transworld, eastern airlines, etc. so if these major, highly capitalized airlines are going down the tubes, you can imagine what's happening to these black american attempts to start airlines as well they're running into some of the same roadblocks if not stiffer roadblocks . >> my question is really the early 80 years get their exp

which is sort of was a bigger arsenal somebody at one time i want to get on to ethiopia in a second we you can see our studio here but we have a beautiful picture of the old harbor in mogadishu in your book africa's first democrats you tried to be the golden age at the dawn of somalia's independence from its colonial powers just explain to us because all we see in many mainstream media pictures of somalia of bombings in atrocities. the current problem in somalia is a legacy both of the colonial era and the cold war but the during the early sixty's the late fifty's and certainly the early sixty's for the first decade of independence from one thousand nine hundred sixty nine hundred seventy some odd had the name of being the first democrats by having a number of elections those who are free and fair and changing of government without any violence the next one in africa will take place in almost twenty five years later in zambia one kind of counter was replaced by a. record so somalis know how to practice democracy when they get an opportunity when they get the kind of leadership that

she met with south sudanese refugees in ethiopia. as you mentioned, she went to one of these protection civilian sites in south sudan where there had been internal -- internally displaced people basically stranded there for years since the civil war broke out in 2013. things got heated and she was escorted out of the camp. amy: so explain the situation in south sudan. >> in december 2013, the president a south sudan launched and ethnic lensing campaign. amy: one of the newest countries in the world. >> yes, the youngest nation on earth. this was in many ways a u.s. nationbuilding project. the united states spent somewhere around $11 billion bringing south sudan into nationhood. the south sudanese fought and died for their independence, but the u.s. is really the back of this project. .t all fell apart in 2013 the country has been in the state of civil war since then. the government has been carrying out ethnic cleansing campaigns across the nation. amy: against who? >> it started out against the largest of the ethnic minorities. this

doing so so be it in my opinion what are arguably us client states neighboring client states like ethiopia and kenya up to as regards the ongoing violence in somalia them ethiopian have been on record for a very long time and i have all the documents to demonstrators have been interested in making sure the somalia never comes back in fact they approach the soviet union in one thousand and fifteen one thousand nine hundred sixty two used the soviet veto power of the security council to ensure that somalia as an independent country was not admitted into the to the united nations so there is a long record on the american government particularly the bush regime if you like listen to the two or more so than anybody else and of course. the kenyans have invaded somalia in two thousand and eleven saying that the al-shabaab was sort of disrupting its tourist economy the evidence from the department of state of the united states and the cia it's quite clear that the kenyans had this last long before the two incidents in which ordinary people who were tourist in kenya were hijacked by either russia o
