Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Ethiopia is Africa’s second-most populous nation and a key American ally. It’s also one of the most difficult political landscapes to understand. Many observers and members of the Ethiopian diaspora complain that the government is suppressing democratic activities. At the same time, the opposition remains fractured. Kojo explores the politics of Ethiopia, from Addis Ababa to Adams Morgan, and speaks with two prominent opposition leaders currently in the U.S.
