Addis Ababa – Despite Africa recording
the World’s fastest tourist growth for the second year running according
to the UNWTO, and Ethiopia showing good progress too, one of the East
Africa country’s zoos has had to poison rare lions to make ends meet.

a zoo and save this lions.

shortcomings, this particular writer from Asmara tells the world how
the Shaibya government is abusing its people. Slowly but surely Eritrea
