Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Oromo students protesting in Washington, D.C.
Since November, students in Ethiopia’s Oromia state have been staging peaceful protests sparked by a development plan. Many in the region– along with many in the diaspora community– fear that Oromo farmers will be displaced by what’s known as the ‘Master Plan’ to expand the capital, Addis Ababa. We learn about government crackdowns on protesters, the context for the movement and the challenge of getting the full picture from a country that is known for restricting media.
