Obama in Addis Ababa This Week

From a USA Today article which helpfully overviews the President's visit:

President Obama became the first sitting U.S. president to visit Ethiopia on Sunday...Ethiopia in particular has been undergoing an economic renaissance. The country’s gross domestic product has grown by more than 10% a year during the past decade. The United States is the country’s fourth-largest trading partner. Still, Ethiopia is one of the poorest countries in Africa, and unemployment stands around 17%. To create jobs, the country’s leaders want to expand trade and maintain growth.
