The Addis Ababa Accords were a series of compromises in 1972, aimed at appeasing the leaders of the insurgency in southern Sudan after the first Sudanese Civil War proved costly to the government in the South. Widespread local autonomy was granted. There followed a decade of relative peace.
AddisAbaba was facing growing unemployment, shelter problems, poor governance, health and education challenges, urban finance uncertainties and a deteriorating environment.
With a population of more than three million, AddisAbaba is a very cosmopolitan city with about 80 nationalities speaking their own languages and dialects, and Christian and Muslim communities living together in harmony and peace.
AddisAbaba is the capital city of Ethiopia, and is also the seat of the African Union and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa.
