Ethiopia: Tourist Spots 
(Alejandra Eva, Karla Guzman)

• The Nile river is over 800km in length within Ethiopia and the longest

river in the world. The Blue Nile Falls, locally known as Tisisat, are
about 400m wide and 45m deep. Because of the building of damns  near
Bahar Dar, they aren't as spectacular as they used to be. These falls
present even more beautiful landscape when a storm is taking place
because they create impressive and amazing rainbows.

• Sof Omar is a small Muslim village in Bale. This place is

characterized by an amazing complex of natural caves, which are cut by
the Wab river. Visitors make their way underground with the help of
lit torches and a map. Besides the Wab river, tourists are able to
witness arched portals, high eroded ceilings and deep echoing
chambers.

• Axum is the most ancient city and the capital of the historical

Axumite state. Here you can find numerous monolithic stone stelae or
obelisks. The larges obelisk is 35m long and weights 35 tons. It is so
amazing because it is the biggest piece of stone ever cut by anyone in
the world, although today it lies broken on the ground. Axum was once
a great commercial center with its own currency and trading with
regions like Egypt and Persia.

• Gonder was the 17th Century capital of Ethiopia and it stands out

because of its medieval castles built between 1632 and 1855. The
castles are described as dramatic and unlike any other African because
they reveal the Axumite traditions as well as the influences of
Arabia.

• Harar is another ancient holy city that has its own attractions.

Besides its handicrafts that include woven textiles and silverware,
they have a astonishing city walls, the Rimbaud House and the Hyena
Men.
Hyena Men: as evening falls, local men attract wild hyenas with a
unique spectacle and then they feed this wild creatures.

Their official language is Portuguese and they also have Bantu and other African languages. Angola's 3 main religions are catholic, indigenous beliefs and protestant, and the one that predominates is indigenous beliefs.

Portugal has been present in Angola for over 400 years, thats's why both countries share cultural aspects such as  language which is Portuguese and the religion Roman Catholic.  Angola's language origin is African, mostly Bantu because the Portuguese language was actually imported. The diversity of the etnic groups vary the cultural traits, traditions and languages. In this urban culture over the years the Portuguese have been more dominant, but an African influence is evident in music and dance .

Part of Angola's economy is that it has a very rich  subsoil heritage from gold, diamonds, oil, copper as well as wildlife. Although it's plantations and agriculture have dropped scince it's civil war but started recovering in 2002.

The Republic of Angola is 1,246,700 sq. km big, and it has about 13 million to 18 million habitants. It's capital is Luanda and it has 6 million people. Other major cities include Huambo and Benguala, with 1.5 million and 1 million inhabitants, respectively. It's climate is tropical and tropical highland. It's official language is Portuguese, but many African dialects are also very common. The country's currency is in kwanza and lwei. Like expectancy is at 50-53 years of age.

The situation in Angola is terrible, but it is improving. The president has been in power for 30 years. While the country is rich in resources, it is one of the poorest in the world due to bad management and poor administration. A 16 year war that only recently ended in 2002 has left the country torn and divided. Minefields are very common in the country, and so is fighting between the MPLA, the ruling party, and UNITA, the second largest party. Both parties are ex-guerrilla forces, and even when they were they opposed each other heavily. Only the recent death of UNITA's leader, Jonas Savimbi has allowed for peace to come between UNITA and MPLA. Several countries have begun aiding Angola financially, and the country is going through a reconstruction boom.
