Ethiopia
Ethiopia has attracted attention in recent years due to its high economic growth. But ethnic tensions, which erupt in violent conflicts and even civil war, jeopardize this success. In addition, there are repeated devastating plagues of locusts and drought disasters. As a result, many Ethiopians suffer from poverty, lack of access to education and a lack of prospects.
