Welcome AboardEsteemed Customers,
September marks the start of the Ethiopian New Year.
Let me first wish all of my fellow compatriots a
happy, healthy and prosperous 2007, according to
the Ethiopian ( Julian) calendar!
We enter the New Year with great optimism. Thanks
to your patronage, Ethiopian is now the largest airline
in Africa (by revenue and profit) for the first time in its
69-year history. I want to personally thank each and every
one of you for your vote of confidence, and I pledge that we
will continue to work hard to earn that confidence and to
be your airline of choice.
In the year ahead, we will be more ready than ever to
serve you aboard our flights and to help you discover our
beautiful, diverse country. With the end of the rainy season
and the blossoming of the Meskel flower across the Ethiopian
highlands, now is the perfect time for visiting the rich
historical, cultural, religious and natural sites in Ethiopia.
There are many hidden treasures across the country, including
nine UNESCO World Heritage Sites — ranging from the
imposing obelisks of Axum and the Nejashi Mosque to the
spellbinding rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, the majestic
Gondar castles and the stunning Simien Mountains.
Our in-house tour operation, ET Holidays, is availing
attractive packages to all the tourism sites, with provisions
for all of your transportation, accommodation and guide-
service needs. We have introduced a 40-percent discount on
our domestic routes for travelers coming to Ethiopia using
our long-haul flights, and we now fly daily to each of the
tourism sites, in hopes of providing you with convenient
connectivity options.
We are also constantly expanding our network — now
covering 83 international destinations across five continents
— and renewing our fleet by introducing ultramodern and
comfortable aircraft, such as the B787 and B777. Thirteen
new airplanes will join our young fleet in the New Year.
So come and celebrate the New 2007 Year with us in
Ethiopia, reveling in the unique and tasty culinary delights,
breathtaking landscape, and rich history. Plus, you’ll be
instantly seven years younger while enjoying our hallmark,
Ethiopian-flavored African hospitality.
All of my colleagues at Ethiopian join me in
thanking you for choosing to fly with us.
Have a pleasant flight!

customers, “who are choosing to fly with us in ever-increasing record numbers,”
as well as the “collective effort of the board of directors, the management and
the entire 8,000-plus Ethiopian Airlines employees, who toil night and day to
make our beloved airline shine high in the sky.
“It also confirms,” he adds, “that we are well on track to achieving our Vision
2025 strategic goal of becoming a mega global carrier with US$10 billion in
revenue by 2025.”

During the month of September, the rain dries up in Ethiopia, leaving the
country with clear skies, fields covered in a yellow blanket of Meskel daisies,
and people eager to talk about their dreams for the year ahead. Here, a quick
look back at the holiday's history, and how to celebrate today:
ORIGIN Enkutatash (meaning “gift of jew-els”) marks the time when, thousands of years ago, the Queen of Sheba visited King Solomon of Israel and gifted him with gold and jewels. When she returned to Ethiopia, the story goes that her own elders greeted her with jewels to
replace her stock.
CUSTOMS Families light torches on New Year’s Eve and attend church on New Year’s Day wearing traditional dress. Girls go door to door singing songs and delivering flowers, and boys draw pic-tures — all for small gifts or money. Nowadays, rather than exchanging traditional bouquets of flowers, many families send cards and greetings.
EAT: Doro wat (a spicy stew of chicken) and injera (a spongy, fermented flatbread).
DRINK: Traditionally brewed coffee and tella (locally brewed beer).
VISIT: Visit Ragual Church on Entoto Mountain, outside Addis Ababa, where a mas-sive gathering takes place.

The genre of contemporary African music is soulful, lively and diverse. Here, a few favorite artists who are putting their own spin on traditional sounds.
AMADOU & MARIAMAmadou Bagayoko and Miriam Doumbia met in 1975 at a Malian institute for the blind and discovered a mutual love of music. Five years later, they married and began making music together, releasing nine albums between 1999 and 2012 and earning three Grammy award nominations along the way. Blending rock and blues with traditional Malian sounds, their songs speak of peace, love and life in Mali — and inspire much foot-tapping.
ANGÉLIQUE KIDJO Born in Benin and inspired by the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Aretha Franklin, Kidjo became a professional singer by age 20. Like Franklin, her booming voice carries her songs, which are accompanied by layered, soulful instrumentation. (Her album Fifa is said to have involved more than 100 musicians, singers and dancers from her home country.) Kidjo’s discography — a dozen albums deep — ranges in sound from traditional to futuristic, featuring collaborations with such talents as John Legend and Carlos Santana. Her latest, Eve (2014), is a tribute to the women of Africa.
D’BANJThe uniquely African hip-hop of Dapo Oyebanjo — or D’banj — can be heard far beyond his home country of Nigeria. With an infectious mix of Afrobeat, R&B and electronic sounds, he’s been sweeping music awards in Africa and Europe, including “Best Selling African Artist” at the 2014 World Music Awards. The 34-year-old singer/songwriter sings in both English and the West African language of Yoruba. Plus, there’s another reason to like him: He’s a spokesperson for the ONE Campaign’s agricultural initiative.

The Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam Hydroelectric Project is
one of the most ambitious engineering projects ever undertaken
in Africa. Once completed, the dam will have the capacity to
generate 6,000 megawatts of electricity, which will be distributed
throughout Ethiopia and to neighboring countries.

Selamta editorial board member Seble
Demeke recently interviewed engineer
Semegnew Bekele, project manager of the
GERDP, to find out more about this massive
project and its future impact on Ethiopia and
the wider region.
The GERD is a hydroelectric power
project under construction on the Abbay
River (Blue Nile) by the government of
Ethiopia, at Beni-Shangul Gumuz regional
state, some 20 kilometers upstream of
the Ethiopia-Sudan border. It is being
constructed for the purpose of generating
electricity with a total installed capacity
of 6,000 megawatts — providing an
affordable, green and nonconsumptive
use of the water scheme.
We are lucky for our government’s
commitment to continuously engage
in such development projects, which
affords the entire nation the opportunity
to be part of a noble venture. To start
counting from the recent developments,
the following hydropower developments
implemented in our country can be
mentioned: Gilgel Gibe I, Tekeze, Gilgel
Gibe II, Beles, Fincha Amerti Neshe and
Gibe III, which will be commissioned
shortly. Implementation of all these
shows our country’s hands-on practice
for developing this sector.
Other energy mixes like wind farms,
geothermal and solar are also being
developed aggressively in our country.
Our continual engagement in the sector
with a team spirit has been beneficial to us
in the realization of the Grand Ethiopian
Renaissance Dam Hydroelectric Project.
There is a saying, “Teamwork is the fuel
that allows common people to produce
uncommon results.” Currently, 8,500
people are engaged at the project location
site, of which about 600 are expatriates
from 25 countries.
Mode of contract
The owner of the project is the government
of Ethiopia. The project is being
implemented under the engineering,
SOME GRANDSTATISTICS
procurement and construction mode of
contract by contractors and consultants
of international repute. All aspects related
to the construction process — such as the
design, materials and workmanship —
are being taken care of in a responsible
and professional manner, and according
to international standards.
The Ethiopian Electric Power is the
employer. The joint venture Coyne et
Bellier of France & ELC Electroconsult of
Italy, a consulting firm, is the employer’s
representative under this contract, and
the EPC contractor (Salini Impregilo
of Italy) and the EPC plant contractor
(Metals and Engineering Corporation of
Ethiopia) are the two main contractors
involved.
Benefits
The project has several benefits, and I
can say that it is not only Ethiopians but
also other Africans who would benefit
from this project being built in Ethiopia
by Ethiopians.
GERDP is a hydropower development
that supports the government’s efforts
to maintain sustainable development,
which is crucial to and a catalyst for the
sustainable improvement of people’s lives
and livelihoods and to eradicate poverty.
It also provides an easily tappable,
affordable and green power supply to
the nation and the region; it supports
the universal electric access program
(rural electrification); and it will
enhance navigation and create business
opportunities for the locality. Furthermore,
it will enhance tourism and fisheries as
well as improve the climate of the area.
It will create numerous job opportunities
and contribute greatly to building in-house
capacity that focuses on cost reduction.
As has been said already on several
occasions, it will have immense benefits for
the downstream countries and the region:
The GERD maintains a regulated
flow throughout the year and, as a
result, avoids flood risks and reduces

transmission losses. It also reduces
evaporation loss, traps sediments, allows
increasing energy within the existing
power plants, enhances navigation and
maintains longer tourist destination
routes, as well as helps to maintain
regional peace and stability.
Regionally and globally, it maintains
clean and affordable energy availability;
mitigates drought; reduces emissions;
and contributes to capturing climate
change–related opportunities.
Moreover, with its huge natural
resource potential, Ethiopia is considered
a power hub for the region. Such a project
will help us address the power supply
needs of the region with the existing
power pool interconnection system.
The significance of GERDP for
regional cooperation
The project will provide an opportunity
for fresh cooperation between the
three Eastern Nile Basin countries:
Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan. Through
such cooperation, the three riparian
nations will make themselves permanent
partners for cooperative development
and sustainable peace:
• GERDP can enhance the aspirations for
sustainable socioeconomic development,
prosperity and peace in the Eastern Nile
Basin in the 21st century.
• GERDP can be used as a platform for
Ethiopian people, including the Ethiopian
Diaspora. It is mobilizing the entire
nation with an incredible momentum.
The hydroelectric power plant will be the
largest in Africa and one of the largest in
the world.
The project is being implemented
and we are marching together toward its
realization, which will contribute greatly
to eradicating our common enemy:
poverty. It will also make our country
prosperous and poised to become a
middle-income country within a short
period of time. Lastly, we would like to put
it on record that it is not only important
to develop the sector but it is also equally
vital to support those working toward the
realization of this development.
We have started and we will finish it!
This is to keep alive the vision of our late
leader, His Excellency Meles Zenawi, who
said during the laying of the cornerstone
for the project that the Great Ethiopian
Renaissance Dam will be financed by
Ethiopians and built by Ethiopians.
Accordingly, Ethiopian citizens
mobilized to express their support and
their excitement that this long-awaited
project — deeply rooted in their hearts —
is finally going to be realized. The public
at large started to take advantage of the
opportunity to provide financial support
to the project by making donations
and purchasing the bonds that the
government had launched.
broader regional collaboration on
economic development and environmental
protection.
• GERDP can be taken as a concrete case
for upstream-downstream cooperation for
equitable and reasonable utilization of the
shared water resources and as a means
of sustainable-benefit sharing among the
Eastern Nile Basin countries.
The project will also increase the
collective resiliency of Nile Basin nations to
the impact of climate change on the basin.
Ethiopian participation
GERDP is symbolic and a pride for the

How Do You Save a National Park?
Preserving
the beauty of
Ethiopia’s
Simien
Mountains.

The sun begins dipping below the horizon,
revealing hazy, horizontal smudges of sky
and mountain, layered one behind the
other in blue, grey and orange. Backlit
trees march across a distant ridge while
a pair of jackals crosses the flat terrain
below Mount Kedadit. Before long, the
sky will fill with constellations as a rich,
deep blanket of smaller stars studs the
blackness behind them.
This view is as breathtaking as when
the surrounding cliffs and gorges were first recognized
as Simien Mountains National Park in 1969. Sunset
panoramas. Crisp air. Raw, wild beauty.
Yet even then, a closer look revealed a sobering
deterioration: Willful deforestation was rapidly
changing the landscape, and the Ethiopian wolf
and walia ibex (an endemic mountain goat) were
already endangered.
At the time, the man who would become the
park’s first game warden — a Welshman named
C.W. Nicol — had already been crisscrossing the
mountain highlands on horseback for two years.
Armed bandits and poachers threatened him and
his team of rangers as they tried to prevent acres of
forest from being slashed and burned by villagers in
search of farming land. Other locals were damaging
the land by allowing their livestock to overgraze
within park boundaries. Food was becoming more
and more scarce for wildlife.
In addition, Nicol and his rangers faced logistical
challenges (lack of infrastructure such as roads or

Gelada baboons — more closely related to monkeys than baboons — are one of several species endemic to the Simien Mountains, including the walia ibex and Ethiopian wolf.
health care) and a dearth of government support for
their job.
Although appointed by then-Emperor Haile
Selassie himself, 27-year-old Nicol found his
assignment close to impossible. “It was just over two
years full of challenge, adventure, fights, struggles,
new experiences — and almost overwhelming
frustration and despair,” he recalled in his August 31,
2013, article in The Japan Times.
Finally, in October 1969, Nicol left the Simien
Mountains and returned to his adopted country of
Japan, convinced that all of his labors were in vain.
Nicol never expected that what he had fought so
hard to protect would, in 1978, be recognized as one
of the very first UNESCO World Heritage Sites for
its natural beauty and endemic wildlife. Nor that, 18
years after that recognition, the park would appear
on UNESCO’s endangered list. A continual battle to
save the land. An unending heartache.
A N C I E N T L A N DEthiopia has long been considered the cradle of
civilization, especially after the discovery of “Lucy”
— a partial human skeleton more than 3 million
years old. Far northwest of Lucy’s final resting place
stand the Simien Mountains. Formed by prehistoric
seismic activity that created its dramatic scenery,
this formidable range served as a barrier to many
potential invaders over the centuries. The country’s
highest peak can be found here: Ras Dejen (as the
locals call it), at 4,533 meters.
Despite the harsh climate of the high altitude,
Ethiopians have long inhabited the 232 square
kilometers that now encompass the country’s
first national park. Even today, approximately 536
households live within the park boundaries, in six
different villages — a growing population that puts
greater and greater stress on the land and its resources.
As an example, festuca is a natural grassy habitat
for rodents, which are the primary food of the
endangered Ethiopian wolf. Therefore, authorities
have forbidden the harvesting of festuca to thatch
village homes within park boundaries; it’s more
difficult to halt its depletion by overgrazing.
In some areas, what was once thickly forested
now more closely resembles a rocky moonscape. The
surrounding communities’ dependence upon park
resources has led to the loss of almost 97 percent of the
original highland vegetation, according to the Ethiopian
Wildlife Conservation Authority. Years of civil war and
famine only added to the depletion (with civil war
leading to the park’s closing for almost 17 years).
Today, Simien Mountains National Park might
be facing an even more dismal future if not for
the foresight of the Ethiopian government to save
its national treasure. This time, expertise is being
sought from what some might consider an unlikely
source: the nation of Japan.
S T E P B Y S T E PFormed in 1974, the Japan International Cooperation
Agency offers strategic assistance to more than 100
countries worldwide. In 2011, JICA became involved in
Simien Mountains National Park at Ethiopia’s request.1
JICA started by forming a partnership with two
Ethiopian public entities that protect and govern
the national parks.2 That partnership — called
Simien Community Tourism, or SIMCOT — focuses
on reversing the park’s endangered status while
benefiting the local population. The benefit to
locals comes via sustainable tourism efforts that
bring in income and thus reduce the community’s
dependence on agriculture within the park.
The key word is sustainable.
JICA recognizes that encouraging uncontrolled
tourism would bring about long-term harm. Already,
recent road improvements between the park and the
city of Gondar have led to an escalation of traffic,
with a resulting 50-percent increase in park tourism
within the last year.
“If we do not control [tourism], then the culture,
society and economy will be destroyed while all the
business is taken over by big outside [organizations],
and only a small [amount of] money will remain
locally,” says Dr. Kiho Yaoita, deputy chief of the
SIMCOT project and assistant professor at Hokkaido
University, who specializes in heritage management
and community development.
SIMCOT’s task might be considered overwhelming,
yet the great dream is to see Simien Mountains National
Park stand on its own feet rather than merely limp on,
relying on international aid as it has in the past.
SIMCOT began by systematically studying each
aspect of the park: measuring, questioning, tracking.
For example, most tourists to the Simien
Mountains (that number reached a record 18,000 in
2013) are trekkers who hire guides, scouts and cooks.
So SIMCOT began offering extensive training to
increase the quality of those services — such as how
to cook European dishes even in a primitive campsite
setting (as most trekkers are from Europe).
Soon, an old friend of the park was enlisted to
add his expertise as well. In summer 2013, JICA and
the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority

contacted the park’s first game warden. After his
years on horseback protecting the Simien Mountains,
C.W. Nicol had turned his attention toward restoring
a prime woodland area in Nagano, Japan. It turns out that even though he’d never returned to
the African continent, he had reserved a corner of his
heart for Ethiopia. Intrigued by JICA’s plans, he offered
his knowledge. Soon, five key players from the SIMCOT
partnership had traveled to Japan to catch Nicol’s
passion and learn from his conservation experience.
SIMCOT also had another ambitious plan for
contributing to conservation in the park, even while
connecting locals to tourism profits.
C O N N E C T I N G P E R S O N - T O - P E R S O NFrench, Germans and the British top Simien’s usual
tourist list — hardy adventurers who are used to
trekking and aren’t afraid of a bathroom-in-the-wild.
And hardiness is essential to Simien exploration.
Facilities are sparse. Altitude hiking taxes the lungs.
Temperature swings border on the extreme (more than
18°C by day, below freezing by night). But the beauty
visible over every lip of rock startles even those gasping
for air. Beauty of scenery, of course, but also the playful
activity of gelada baboon families, the incredible 2.3-
to 2.8-meter wingspan of the lammergeyer, the rare
glimpses of springbok or walia ibex.
And now, thanks to foresight and patient
planning, those who venture into the Simien
Mountains can also choose to learn a bit more about
life in these beautiful surroundings by way of an
“ecomuseum” that encompasses the entire park.
Unlike traditional museums, with ecomuseums

wildlife) as well as the cultural (heritage explorations
that are directed by community members during
village tours).
Via these tours, small groups of tourists can take
a new turn down a rutted, hillside trail in order to
see firsthand how life is lived on these highlands.
After months of research, SIMCOT project
members chose two villages for the prototype. Like
other communities within the park, neither Jona nor
Argin has electricity, running water or cars. So a visit
is no eye-candy experience of casual tourism; it’s the
real thing, with an opportunity to meet beautiful,
proud people and share in a slice of their lives.
The village of Argin (451 households) stretches
down one slope before rising sharply up another —
a swath of terraced farmland where acres of Erica
arborea once covered the hillsides. After a 30-minute
walk down a rocky, barely discernible path from
the main road, guests spend the next few hours
being invited into the cool darkness of thatched-
roof homes. There they observe (and participate
in) the making of local beer, the ritual of the coffee
ceremony or the baking of injera (the traditional,
spongy pancake that serves as the centerpiece of
every Ethiopian meal).
In the nearby village of Jona, visitors learn about
traditional hairdressing styles (see “Beauty on the
Simien Mountains” on page 38), watch a blacksmith
at work or speak with a weaver whose loom was
handmade by his grandfather. Tourists can even
purchase some of the local weavings.
As Azanaw Kefyalew, EWCA’s senior tourism
expert, points out, “The income from the village tour
goes directly to the [villagers’] pocket rather than
back to the government.”
After all, the less dependent the villagers are
upon parkland for their livestock grazing and their
farming, the more sustainable their lifestyle and the
future of the park itself.
N E X T S T E P S T O S A V E A P A R KWith village tours well underway, SIMCOT is
continuing to expand the opportunities for Simien
Mountains National Park’s preservation and growth
— inviting Ethiopian and international tour operators
to learn more about the village tour products, so that
the park is high on their radar. The hope is that the
success at this, the country’s flagship park, will then
be replicated at other parks across Ethiopia.
Throughout the project (November 2011 – November
2014), SIMCOT has tracked and measured everything
— to show growth as well as assess where more

attention is needed. The Ethiopian government and
communities in Simien will then assume leadership
toward fully achieving the ecomuseum concept.
Still, no one is naively expecting a quick turnaround.
Dr. Kiho predicts it will be more than a decade before
this parkland is removed from UNESCO’s endangered
list and northwestern Ethiopia is regarded as one of
the continent’s top tourism destinations. But each
day’s step forward offers hope.

in Simien Mountains National Park in 45 years. He’s
already greeted old friends — 70- and 80-something
men and women who served as rangers with him in
the early, turbulent days. They arrived at his welcome
ceremony wearing thick, cotton robes and leaning
on canes, their lined faces breaking into smiles and
tears as they embraced this man whom they last saw
as an impetuous, determined 29-year-old.
Sitting down to dinner with the SIMCOT project
team, Nicol talks honestly about how he long believed
his years in the Simiens to be a waste. And how that
perceived failure spurred his efforts to restore one of
Japan’s woodland areas.
It was August 2013 when a team from EWCA
visited Japan to personally plead for Nicol’s help.
The visit struck a deep, raw nerve (“It was like a dam
burst inside me,” Nicol remembers) and began a long-
awaited process of healing old scars — “scars left
because I’d felt my efforts there had been in vain,”
Nicol wrote for The Japan Times.
EWCA’s then-director general assured the now-
74-year-old, “What you did and tried to do was not
a failure — it was a road map for what we are trying
to do now.”
“Back then,” Nicol continued, “I truly believed in a
beautiful, sustainable national park in the northern
mountains of Ethiopia. . . . I wanted to help conserve
the wildlife and the incredibly beautiful scenery,
and to be of meaningful assistance to the proud and
independent people of Ethiopia.”
“Maybe it’s not too late.”

I used to think of myself as a small-town girl.
I was born in Enugu, a relatively small city in
southeastern Nigeria, attended boarding school
in an even smaller city, and enrolled in college
in a small university town.
I have always loved the quiet and intimacy
of small cities. When I met my husband 18 years
ago and moved to Belgium, I was happy to set-
tle in Turnhout, a small Flemish town where
everyone knew everyone else. I once received a
letter addressed to me by name but with nei-
ther a street name nor a house number. And
yet it was delivered to my mailbox. If a parcel
arrived for me in my absence, the postman
delivered it, without prior agreement, to my
friend’s house a few doors away. He knew we

were friends because he often saw us chatting at
each other’s doorstep.
Big cities, on the other hand, make me ner-
vous. Whenever I visited my older sister in Lagos,
Nigeria’s commercial capital, the chaos, the noise
and the number of people on the streets kept me hos-
tage indoors.
However, as with everything else, there is an ex-
ception to the big-city rule. For me, it is Brussels.
With a population of more than a million and a
surface area of about 160 square kilometers, Brussels
is Belgium’s biggest city. But if Brussels were hu-
man, she would have impeccable manners. All
Please and thank you, and May I help you? The sort
that parents would encourage their children to be
friends with. I do not exaggerate when I say that
this is a city with an air of politeness (I have met
some of the most gracious random strangers here)
and a genuine avuncular warmth.
Brussels is also trendy. She is welcoming. She
is fun and clever. No other city I have been to in
Europe is quite like her: big yet warm, with the
welcoming personality of a small town (and with a
surprising African flair). This is one of the reasons
it was easy for me to fall in love with Brussels. And
one of the reasons I keep returning.
Brussels is Belgium’s largest city, with a population of more than a million and a surface area of roughly 62 square miles.

Most guidebooks about the city will tell you of
her famous heavenly chocolates (the composition
of Belgian chocolate has been regulated since 1884)
and beer (this is Belgium after all, a country with
about 180 breweries). And they will most likely
point out that Brussels is a center of European cul-
ture, a position that has earned her the nickname
“The European Village.” She is the seat of many
European and international institutions, and head-
quarters to the European Union and NATO.
The guidebooks might also mention the
Matonge, otherwise known as “Little Zaire,” on
the Porte de Namur (Naamsepoort). Populated by
the Congolese, the Matonge is a sprawling piece of
Africa in this European city and an astonishing as-
sault on all the senses. It is a delightful celebration
of color, noise, food.
In my first weeks in Belgium, I was terri-
bly homesick for the country I had left behind.
One weekend, my husband, J., brought me to the
Matonge. Tucked between the modern architecture
of European Union institutions on one side and the
posh boutiques of Avenue Louise on the other, the
Matonge tricked me into believing I was back in
Nigeria. The sheer number of Africans on the
streets was mindboggling after weeks of being

one of the few black faces in Turnhout. With black
businesses lining the streets — from tailors to hair-
dressers and restaurants — I could have been at the
Kenyatta Market in Enugu.
I had not believed J. when he promised that he
was taking me to a place “where you’d definitely
forget you were in Europe.” It seemed impossible.
But when we settled into one of the restaurants to
enjoy a meal of rice and tomato sauce (spiced just
right) with chicken fried incandescent gold (the
way my mother fried her famous chicken wings for
family parties), I knew I had found my home away
from home.
Another delightful discovery for me was Rue de
Montserrat, which — with its air of almost rural
tranquility — reminds me of an Enugu neighbor-
hood. It also possesses some very fashionable and
often underestimated restaurants, including an
African one that I frequent. There is some truth to
my grandmother’s saying: “Homesickness begins
from the stomach. Fill your stomach with the food
you miss and your homesickness goes away.”
Apart from the food, though, one of the things
I missed most upon moving to Belgium was the
emotional “high” I got from beating down the price
of items I wanted at the market.
No other city I have been to in Europe is quite like her: big yet warm, with the welcoming personality of a small town (and with a surprising African flair).

In Nigeria, everyone knows that the set price
for goods is just the starting point for bargaining:
You haggle until both buyer and seller come to a
comfortable agreement. The inflexibility of the lo-
cal Saturday market in Turnhout took away from
its coziness, and so it was pure joy to discover the
flea markets of Brussels, where I could haggle just
as merrily as back home.
The Place du Grand Sablon (reputed to be one of
Europe’s best flea markets for antiques) and Place
du Jeu de Balle (a daily market that provides the
total immersive experience) are my favorite. Apart
from enjoying the haggling, I am also an avid col-
lector (on a budget), and nothing beats a Saturday
spent looking for something unique and affordable
to add to my trove. Except maybe a Saturday spent
eating freshly baked Belgian waffles with cream.
However, the greatest success of Brussels is
not in satisfying my taste buds or making me fall
in love with a big city, but in making me curious
enough to give other cities a try. While I’ve yet to
encounter one that matches Brussels in how it fus-
es cultures or mixes both small-town and big-city
features, I remain fascinated by the possibility of
finding another like it — and the discoveries I’ve
made along the way.
Flea-market finds, blooming flowers and freshly baked Belgian waffles add charm, beauty and flavor to the Belgian capital.

The Artsspotlight
Operndorf AfrikaIn a small village outside Ouagadougou, art is life. | BY H A N N A H J O R DA N
C reativity hums throughout western Africa, flowing from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and
charging the arid landscape with life. The city, known as Ouaga for those who call it home,
has been courting the arts for quite some time.
Dubbed a major African cultural hub, Ouagadougou biennially hosts both the continent’s
largest film festival — the FESPACO — and the SIAO international arts-and-crafts fair. But
about 40 kilometers away from this artistic epicenter, art is developing in a new way, alongside a village.
Since 2009, creativity has sparked new life in a little town called Laongo. Already home to a
sculpture garden of granite carvings that narrate its history of art, Laongo is further maturing
artistically through a project called Operndorf Afrika.
The project — German for “African Opera Village” — began as an idea for a collaborative arts
initiative. Over the past five years, however, that seed has grown from mere abstract plans into a full-
fledged community that includes sustainable homes, education, health care as well as a framework
for Laongo to develop its unique artistic expression.
The German connection comes from the late actor and director Christoph Schlingensief
(1960–2010), who was initially drawn to Burkina Faso through a connection with the FESPACO

The performing arts are central to the culture of Operndorf Afrika. The soon-to-be-built fest-spielhaus (“festival the-ater”) will live at the center of the village (below), pulling the community together for workshops, shows and concerts.
film festival. Here, he envisioned creating
an international meeting place for the
arts — a center where ideas could be
cultivated and exchanged as artists from
across the globe merged in one location.
Believing that art could help awaken
a group’s cultural identity and even
contribute to a country’s development as a
whole, Schlingensief set out on a mission of
transformation and convinced award-
winning Burkinabé architect Francis Kéré
to join him. Together, the pair drew up
plans for an opera house — or festspielhaus
(German for “festival theater”) — that
would serve as the ideal center for artistic
exchange.
Floods in late August 2009, however,
altered these original plans. As the site
they had chosen for the festspeilhaus
was nearly washed away, Schlingensief
and Kéré realized their project needed to
take a backseat to first helping rebuild
the surrounding village. Kéré and local
villagers constructed new homes from
local materials such as clay, using a
sophisticated mixing technique that
allows it to withstand the annual rainfall.
And so from catastrophe came the Opera
Village, which today thrives not only as a
cluster of sustainable homes but also as a
rising cultural center.
Three stages of building spun off from
this initial phase, including plans for a
school, a medical unit and, of course, the
building that started it all: the festspielhaus.
The school, completed in fall 2011,
plans for a total of 300 pupils by the
2016–2017 academic year. Already
boasting learning results and attendance
rates above the national average, the
school has been highlighted by the
Burkinabe Ministry for Education as a
model to be replicated throughout the
country. Its extracurricular activities
push students, as well as other children
from the surrounding areas, toward the
arts — film, theater, music and dance.
The recently completed medical
unit offers convenient health care for
the village, from general practice and
maternity care to dentistry, as well as
education on nutrition and malaria.
Construction on the village’s crowning
festspielhaus will ideally begin at the
end of 2014. The structure will serve as
the crux of the community, physically
residing at the center of a spiral-shaped
village design. It will provide a platform
for local residents to continue developing
their own art identity, pulling them
together for formal workshops, dance
shows and concerts — all to complement
the storytelling, theater performances
and film events that are already taking
shape throughout the village.
And as new needs have arisen, the
village has responded, remaining flexible
with its developing identity as a cultural
center. So far, additional projects have
included a cinema, a recording studio,
guesthouses, a sports area and a
restaurant. In the future, the Operndorf
Afrika team plans to create an artist-in-
residence program, inviting African and
European artists to speak their voices
into the community and likewise learn
from local artists.
For Ouagadougou’s Opera Village, art
is the avenue to a thriving community
— shaking awake the beautiful identity
of a town and ringing hopeful chords far
beyond its borders. (AL

A Powerful Literary DebutA review of We Need New Names, by NoViolet Bulawayo. | BY Z A H R A H N E SB I T T - A H M E D
When you read such prose in We Need New
Names, the debut novel by Zimbabwean
author NoViolet Bulawayo, it is clear why
the author and her works have received
such critical praise.
So far, Bulawayo has won the 2011
Caine Prize for African Writing; the
2013 Etisalat Prize for Literature — a
Pan-African prize celebrating first-time
writers of published fiction books; and
the 2014 PEN/Hemingway Foundation
Award for Debut Fiction. She was also
shortlisted for both the 2013 Man Booker
Prize and the Guardian First Book Award,
and was chosen as one of the National
Book Award’s top-five authors under 35.
We Need New Names powerfully
chronicles a young girl’s coming-of-age
journey from Africa to America.
In the first half of the book, the
10-year-old narrator, Darling, lives
with her mother and grandmother in a
Zimbabwean shantytown called Paradise.
Her father works in the South African
mines but has not yet returned after
many years away. Darling and her friends
prowl around Paradise stealing guavas,
inventing games like “Find Bin Laden”
and singing Lady Gaga songs.
Eventually, Darling moves to America
— to “Destroyedmichygen” (Detroit,
Michigan), specifically — to live with her
Aunt Fostalina. But America is nothing
like what Darling dreamed it would be.
She struggles to make sense of things
such as the greedy snow that swallows
everything, the variety of food available
and the badly behaved children. Still,
Darling makes every effort to fit in, even
adopting an American accent.
There is a sense that, as a teenager,
Darling is not as happy as she was in
Paradise — that she is “hungry for [her]
country and nothing is going to fix that.”
“Paradise is all tin and stretches out in the sun like a wet sheepskin nailed on the ground to dry; the shacks are the muddy color of dirty puddles after the rains. The shacks themselves are terrible but from
up here, they seem much better, almost beautiful even. . . .”
Bulawayo presents this through the
subtle changes in Darling’s voice, which
moves from being lighthearted and quite
funny in Paradise to drier, more subdued
and even cruder in “Michygen.”
She struggles with being teased at
school about her name, her hair, her style,
and she pretends she’s not hungry when
in public, because she is still learning
how to eat with a knife and fork. But
despite missing home, like many before
her who came on a visitor’s visa and
stayed after it expired, she knows that
going back would be extremely difficult.
She must attempt to delicately balance
her feelings of alienation and longing
with immersion in America.
We Need New Names is a beautifully
written series of short stories, woven
together by the vibrant voice of Darling —
keeping the reader hooked from the shacks
of Paradise to cold, cold Michygen. CO

In 1865, his son Menelik II triumphantly
entered Ankober after defeating Emperor
Tewodros II in a battle at Gadilo-Meda.
Only 22 years old at the time, Menelik
II oversaw the Shewa Kingdom from
Ankober until moving the capital farther
south to Addis Ababa in 1886 (where he
was crowned emperor).
Ankober’s geography played a critical
role in its selection: It was relatively
close to the coast (now modern Djibouti);
well-positioned to expand Menelik II’s
territory to the south; and located on an
important trading route. From the Red
Sea, merchant ships delivered arms and
other goods inland and sailed away with
loads of coffee, ivory and gold. Ankober
and the nearby town of Aliyu Amba served
as customs offices for the caravan route,
adding additional revenue to Menelik’s
administration. The surrounding wood
forests of Wef-Washa also offered endless
building supplies and fuel.
Intrigued by the area — and armed
with a smartphone, Google Maps and
an old Land Rover — I headed northeast
toward the Highlands. Although I could
only stay one night in Ankober, I hoped
the experience would allow me a glimpse
into Ethiopia’s history beyond what I
could read.
A few hours later, after winding
through fields studded with cattle and
feeling every pounding of the rock-
strewn road, I watched the path begin
to ascend, pulling away from the plains.
Suddenly, the mountains appeared and
the air turned cooler.
Ankober is a relatively small and quiet
town, with a population of roughly 2,300.
A hospital and police station sit on the
main street, alongside ramshackle stands
offering spices, lentils and glass bottles
of soda. Boys play foosball by the side of
the road.
All that is left of Menelik II’s former
fortress is a stone wall, but an ecotourism
hotel has been constructed on the site,
Reaching this post was not easy. To
get here, I drove four hours outside of
my home and Ethiopia’s capital, Addis
Ababa. Although I’d been living in Addis
for more than a year, few locals or expats
had suggested Ankober as a historical
weekend trip, instead advising the
classic visits to Lalibela and Gondar. But
after stumbling across a blog post that
Standing on the mountain that used to house Ethiopian Emperor Menelik II is a bit like perching on the top of the world. The ridgeline of jagged mountain peaks extends outward as far as the eye can see, forming blue ribbons of color against a sky punctuated with thin cloud threads. Below, houses and people remain concealed by the rolling hills and forests.

P mentioned how Ankober once served
as the seat of authority in Ethiopia, my
curiosity took over.
The first known ruler to utilize
Ankober as an administrative center was
King Yekuno Amlak, in power from 1270 to
1285. The city later became the capital of
the Shewa Kingdom in 1745, hosting five
different kings, including Haile Melekot.

just a few minutes past the town’s center.
As I pulled into the parking lot in the late
afternoon, I glimpsed the Ankober Palace
Lodge from below but quickly realized
that the only way to access it is the old-
fashioned way: on foot. A tattered sign
tacked to a tree at the beginning of the
trail read like an omen: “Travel is only
glamorous in retrospect.”
The path upward was steep, passing
through a dense stretch of trees. Pale
white butterflies fluttered about the
walkway. Fifteen minutes later, I emerged
from the shady darkness to the base of
the lodge and climbed the rest of the way
on stone stairs.
Upoon reaching the summit, I paused
to catch my breath. At 2,870 meters
above sea level, I watched the cliffs of
the Rift Valley below tumble downward,

a patchwork of verdant green farms and
forests. The surrounding highlands formed
a seemingly unending series of plateaus.
From this vantage point, I understood why
different political dynasties would have
claimed Ankober as their own.
I checked into the lodge — my sleeping
accommodation a room with a high,
thatched-roof ceiling and a cement floor.
The main attraction in this isolated setting
is the chance to experience where Menelik
II — now widely considered the founder
of modern Ethiopia — began his imperial
journey, and to revel in the solitude. The
lodge has re-created the building style
utilized by Menelik, constructing them
with locally sourced materials.
On the palace grounds, tiny turquoise
birds swooped in and out of sight.
Sounds from below — children shouting,
a goat herd migrating toward pasture
— mingled with the stillness. Although
I only saw birds during my stay, other
wild animals such as the colobus monkey
and gelada baboon, as well as hyenas
and leopards, can be glimpsed in the

surrounding hills.
During Menelik’s reign as King of
Shewa, people flocked to this area; one
19th-century travelogue estimated that
10,000 inhabitants lived in sprawling
settlements surrounding the palace.
Diplomats from Britain, France and
Italy established missions in Ankober, in
hopes of influencing Menelik from his
imposing perch. The city also established
its reputation as a center of learning and
the arts, attracting clergy members, writers
and medicinal healers. Menelik even owned
the first telephone installed in Ethiopia.
It is rumored that French poet Arthur
Rimbaud passed through here once to
transport arms to Menelik, only to find
that the king had already abandoned
Ankober. Perhaps Rimbaud also sat
outside at dusk as I did, witnessing the
sun drop behind the blue ridgeline, stars
appearing like freckles across the dark sky.
After Menelik moved to Addis, many
of Ankober’s residents also trickled away.
A new rail line between present-day
Djibouti and Addis bypassed Ankober,
and many people migrated to be near the
railway. Menelik also moved on to other
feats; during his governance as emperor
of Ethiopia (1889 – 1913), he successfully
headed off an attempt by the Italians
to conquer parts of Ethiopia, defeating
Italian troops in 1896 at the infamous
Battle of Adwa.
Ankober was later used to house
political prisoners. When Mussolini’s
Italian forces invaded Ethiopia in 1935,
Ankober resurfaced as a hub for the
Ethiopian resistance movement. Many of
the area’s churches and settlements were
destroyed as a result of battles, and the
majority of the remaining residents fled
to Addis, walking the 130 kilometers in a
few days’ time.
Ankober’s military past and the
subsequent migrations were eerie
subjects to contemplate in the darkness.
The next morning, coffee at the lodge
was prepared the traditional Ethiopian
way: Beans were roasted over the fire,
turning their exteriors from pale green to
a deep brown. They were then pounded
into powder, filtered through boiling
water and served in a clay pot. The coffee
was smoky and slightly bitter, leaving a
light residue of grit on the tongue. I ate
breakfast on the restaurant’s patio, then
meandered around the palace grounds
before departing back to Addis.
Travel is often about coming into
contact with the new or different. But
experiencing history through travel
brings a new shade of understanding to
our world: For a brief moment, you are
transported to a coffee caravan, nights
illuminated by candlelight, the decisions
of a long-gone king. Retreating to
Ankober is a vivid reminder that history
is often most alive when standing on the
ground of its ghosts.
Experiencing history through
travel brings a new shade of
understanding to our world . . .

Boris Kodjoe & Nicole Ari ParkerA Hollywood pair that puts family and charity first.
In addition to a wide variety of acting roles, Kodjoe also works as a professional photog-
rapher, and both he and Parker have launched fashion-related entrepreneurial ventures.
However, anyone who meets the pair (or visits their social-media accounts) can testify
that they cherish their roles as parents and charitable foundation supporters most of all.
Boris Kodjoe was born in Vienna, Austria (one of the newest international destina-
tions for Ethiopian Airlines), to a German mother and a Ghanaian father. After growing
up in Gundelfingen, Germany, he moved to the United States at age 19 to attend Virginia
Commonwealth University on a tennis scholarship.
To rid himself of his heavy German
accent, Kodjoe began taking acting classes.
After several years working in fashion pho-
tography as a model, he made his way to
Hollywood and eventually found roles in
film and television. In 2000, he met Parker
on the set of the TV show “Soul Food.” The
pair wed in Kodjoe’s hometown in 2005
and now have two children, ages 7 and 9.
Earlier this year, the couple traveled to
Addis Ababa to participate in the African
Mosaique Fashion Show, an annual gala
sponsored in part by Ethiopian Airlines.
The show raises funds for the Ethiopian
Children’s Fund, founded in 1997 by for-
mer model Anna Getaneh, a longtime
friend of the Kodjoes.
During their brief trip to Ethiopia,
Kodjoe and Parker visited the char-
ity’s main project in Sululta, where
more than 500 children from vulnerable
backgrounds are provided with private
schooling, nutrition and health care.
Kodjoe says the visit was inspirational,
and it was also a joy to finally see the
project about which his friend Anna has
talked so passionately.
In 2008, Kodjoe and Parker had fol-
lowed their own passion by establishing
Sophie’s Voice Foundation, dedicated to
the prevention of spina bifida — a devel-
opmental disorder that their daughter,
Sophie, was diagnosed with at birth.
In addition to spreading awareness
about spina bifida prevention in the
United States, Sophie’s Voice Foundation
has also opened a chapter in Ghana,
where the foundation promotes the for-
tification of local flour with folic acid (to
help reduce the number of babies born
with the condition).
The couple looks forward to doing
more work across Africa. “Later this year
we’ll probably take the kids on their first
safari,” says Kodjoe. For as thrilling as life
in the entertainment business may be,
it is clear that the adventures of parent-
hood come first for Boris Kodjoe and
Nicole Ari Parker.
At a time when the personal lives of film and televi-
sion performers draw arguably more attention than
their artistic achievements, actors Boris Kodjoe and
Nicole Ari Parker stand out as a refreshingly down-
to-earth Hollywood couple.

E ach year, most of Zambia’s tourist traffic heads to the historic city of Livingstone and the
world-famous Victoria Falls nearby. Lusaka, 500 kilometers to the north, may not boast
any similar natural wonders, but the capital city is an excellent destination for combining
business with pleasure.
7:30 a.m. At the heart of the tree-lined diplomatic district, the InterContinental Lusaka
serves as an ideal basecamp for launching a business trip to the city. The hotel is just a short drive from
the central business district and offers concierge services to arrange local excursions and dining plans.
But don’t forget to plan an extra day to explore, once work is done. For a quick start to your day off,
grab a coffee and pastry at the Rhythms Café, located in the hotel lobby. Or to dine on more hearty
fare, head to the Savannah Restaurant and Grill and enjoy a full buffet while seated on the terrace
overlooking the hotel’s swimming pool and gardens.
9:00 a.m. For an introduction to Zambia’s history and diverse cultural traditions, start your trip
with a visit to the Lusaka National Museum. The museum, which can be seen in a relatively short
trip, features archaeology and anthropology exhibitions, as well as a collection of contemporary
Zambian art and an onsite craft shop.
10:30 a.m. Stop by the Kabwata Cultural Village — a residential community where 72 local artists
and artisans ply their trades and sell to the public. The village, which has been preserved to show how
local Lusakans lived prior to independence, features the work of woodcarvers, basket weavers, batik
artists and others from each of Zambia’s nine provinces.

Some of Lusaka’s best-kept secrets are the world-class wildlife experiences
11:30 a.m. Some of Lusaka’s best-kept
secrets are the world-class wildlife expe-
riences located less than an hour’s drive
away. Just 40 minutes south from down-
town Lusaka, for example, lies the Lilayi
Lodge — a classy hotel situated on a game
farm that allows visitors to experience the
best of Zambia’s natural beauty.
Start your visit to Lilayi by checking
out the elephant nursery, which cares
for and rehabilitates orphaned elephant
calves. Here you can learn about the pro-
cess of how these abandoned animals are
raised and released into the wild. Be sure
to watch the feeding of the elephants
from the viewing deck, which takes place
every day just before noon.
1:00 p.m. Head to the Lilayi Lodge res-
taurant for an elegant lunch of African
fusion cuisine. The eclectic menu fea-
tures everything from Zambian craw-
fish ravioli to grilled eland (a local ante-
lope) served with roasted vegetables and
truffle cream, as well as a surprisingly
extensive wine selection.
2:30 p.m. Lilayi Lodge offers afternoon
game drives in open-top vehicles led by
professional guides. The 650-hectare
game farm features an impressive range
of wildlife, including zebra, giraffe, more
than 300 species of birds and most
of Zambia’s native antelope species.
Walking, biking and horseback safaris
can also be arranged.
6:30 p.m. After heading back into the
city, treat yourself to dinner at Filini, one
of Lusaka’s leading Italian restaurants.
Located in the center of the spaceship-like
Lilayi Lodge — located less than an hour’s drive from the capital — offers respite from the busy city. Here, guests can visit the elephant nursery and enjoy an afternoon game drive or horseback safari.
building that houses the Radisson Blu
Lusaka, Filini features a diverse selection
of Italian dishes with a local twist.
The offerings include starters such as
carpaccio of kudu (another local antelope)
with rocket salad and Parmesan cheese,
as well as entrées such as tagliatelle
pasta with pan-fried prawns in a creamy
chardonnay-and-garlic sauce.
9 p.m. To wind down your day, catch
some live jazz music at The Misty Jazz
Restaurant and Café. In addition to the
resident band, The Optimistic, the venue
also features performances by other local
and international musicians.
11:30 p.m. Return to the InterContinental
to call it a night. Refreshed by a day of lei-
surely sites and bites, you’ll be ready for
whatever business awaits tomorrow.

Tasting HistoryA food tour through Old Delhi and into a haveli. | BY C A N DAC E ROSE R A R D O N
I n his classic travel narrative, City
of Djinns: A year in Delhi, William
Dalrymple writes, “The haveli was a
world within a world, self-contained
and totally hidden from the view of
the casual passer-by.”
Originating from the Persian word
hawli for “an enclosed place,” a haveli
is a traditional private mansion found
across India and Pakistan, with a
central courtyard and several stories of
connected rooms.
Havelis dating to the 16th century
line the streets of the historic Delhi
neighborhood of Shahjahanabad, concealed
from sight behind carved doors and high
courtyard walls.
But thanks to a man named Dhruv
Gupta, I will have the chance to step
inside one. Gupta offers walking tours of
Old Delhi that culminate in dinner inside
his family’s home.
“Welcome to my city, my Delhi,” he
says to our small group of three when
we meet on a bright Sunday afternoon.
“I want you to feel like a local, walk local,
eat local. When you think about this part
of the city, I want you to have a big smile
on your face. I always say this is God’s
favorite part [of Delhi].”
As we walk, Gupta occasionally stops
to point out details we might have
overlooked on our own, even though our
primary purpose is the street-side stalls.
We are here to taste Old Delhi.
For two hours we weave through the
crowds toward stalls roasting shelled
peanuts in an iron wok, crushing pungent
ginger and cardamom for a fresh pot of
chai tea, or frying aloo tikki (potato patties)
in giant pans of bubbling oil.
Other shops sell matar kachori — round
savory snacks filled with peas and spices
like cumin and fennel seeds — and serve
sweet lassis (blended yogurt drinks) in little
clay tumblers, which are often discarded
in the street once finished. Shards of clay
sometimes crunch beneath our feet.
While each stall yields new finds and
Old Delhi’s Jama Masjid mosque is the largest in Delhi, with a courtyard capable of holding 25,000 devotees.

flavors, I most enjoy meeting 60-year-old
Har Prashad, sporting a gray mustache
carefully twirled at the ends. He’s been
selling naan khatai cookies from a wooden
cart in the same spot every day for more
than 40 years.
“My elder brother used to make them,”
he tells us, “so I am carrying on with the
same tradition — with what my father
taught my brother, and what my brother
taught me.”
“Garam,” Prashad warns as we sample
the cookies, and I thankfully recognize the
Hindi word for “hot” before taking a bite. As
I savor the almonds and ghee, the clarified
butter so prevalent in Indian cooking, I
wonder if we’re tasting history itself.
One bicycle rickshaw ride and a short
walk later, we arrive at Gupta’s front door.
We leave our shoes at the entrance and take
in the courtyard’s colorful mosaic floor,
intricately carved sandstone walls and a
ceiling completely open to the elements.
“We enjoy the sunlight, moonlight,
even the rain,” Gupta says.
His wife, Richa, greets us with glasses
of freshly squeezed lime juice in their
living room. There, set out among hand-
carved rosewood furniture, are family
heirlooms — including the spinning
wheel that Gupta’s great-grandfather
once used to spin thread from cotton.
With the rest of Delhi now on the
other side of 18-inch-thick walls, it truly
feels as though we have stepped into
another time.
Our tour of the house ends beneath
the stars on Gupta’s rooftop. In the
distance, I spot the distinctive domes of
the Jama Masjid mosque, imposing in
person but so much smaller from this
vantage point.
Back on the ground floor, dinner is
served around the family dining table, set
with bronze plates, utensils and cups. Richa
piles our plates with steaming basmati
rice, dahl (lentil stew), zucchini kofta (balls
of breadcrumbs, grated zucchini and
spices), and as many warm puris (deep-fried
unleavened bread) as we can manage.
The flavors of India run strong
throughout each dish, piquant with
coriander seed, turmeric and red chili
powders. Dessert is rose-flavored kulfi —
Indian ice cream with a smooth, gelato-
like texture, made from just milk and
rose petals.
“This is my small world, which I like to
share,” Gupta says as we scrape up the last
of our kulfi, thanking us for spending the
evening with him and his family.
But it is we who thank him more —
for giving us a taste of history and for
this glimpse into a side of Delhi we would
never have otherwise seen.
HOW TO BOOK: The Old Delhi Bazaar Walk and Haveli Visit takes place daily and is offered as both a half or full-day tour, no more than eight people at a time. The half-day tour costs Rs 2,750 (US$50), while the full-day version is Rs 5,500 (US$100). For more information or to book online, visit masterjikeehaveli.com.
—Candace Rose Rardon is a travel writer, photographer and sketch artist originally from the state of Virginia (USA). One of her favorite places to spend an afternoon is Old Delhi, getting lost in its narrow, winding backstreets — provided she can find her way out again.
A range of curry spices and fresh eggplant are a few of the offerings found in the street markets of Old Delhi.

Kano, Nigeria
CAUSE FOR CELEBRATION
Thousands gather in Kano each year to
celebrate the three-day Durbar festival,
hosted by the emir. The festival commemo-
rates two annual Muslim festivals: Eid al-
Fitr (marking the end of Ramadan) and Eid
al-Adha (marking the end of the annual pil-
grimage to Mecca). Durbar culminates in a
galloping procession of elaborately dressed
horsemen throughout the city to the emir’s
palace, where they offer their allegiance on
behalf of the neighboring villages.

CAPITAL of Kano State
POPULATIONsecond-largest city in Nigeria, with a metro population of 2,828,861
AREA499 sq. km. (about 1/6 that of Washington, D.C., or 1/5 that of Johannesburg)
LANGUAGESEnglish and Hausa
Ethiopian Airlines now flies four times weekly to Kano — its fourth destination city in Nigeria, following Abuja, Enugu and Lagos.
FAST FACTS
K A N O N I G E R I A
The city boasts 500-year-old dye pits, where indigo is still mixed with
potassium and ash and fermented for a month before being used to
color cloth. The 125 pits were constructed around 1500 and assigned to
individual families, whose descendants are said to still control the trade.
In the early 1800s, Kano thrived as the greatest commercial power in West Africa. Located at the southernmost point of the trans-Sahara trade routes, the city transported its leather and cotton goods northward by camel caravan until trade began to diminish in the latter part of the century. Today, Kano remains a major center for the pro-duction and export of agricultural products.
The 20-kilometer-long wall that surrounds the Old City dates to the 15th century, having replaced the original structure built during the 1100s. Inside, visitors can visit the teal-domed Great Mosque; the Kurmi Market, known for its crafts; and the Emir’s Palace (the oldest and largest traditional palace in Nigeria, as well as the country’s oldest continuous seat of authority).

Boeing 777-300ER The B777-300ER is one of the largest and
most-modern members of our fleet, with
a 400-seat capacity. Its spacious cabin
interior, high ceiling, advanced in-flight
entertainment system, increased stowage
capability and additional cargo uplift flex-
ibility give our passengers the best possible
travel experience. The aircraft also perfectly
complements its predecessor in our fleet,
the B777-200LR (Longer Range) airplane, by
providing additional capacity and flexibil-
ity on popular routes such as Guangzhou,
Washington, D.C., Lagos, Luanda and Dubai.
