ADDIS ABABA
Addis Ababa has the status of both a city and a state. It hosts the African Union, headquarters of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA), Addis Ababa University, and other national, continental and international organizations. Addis is therefore often referred to as the political capital of Africa, because of its historical, diplomatic and political significance for the continent. The city is populated by people from different regions of Ethiopia; the country has as many as 80 nationalities speaking 80 languages and belonging to a wide variety of religious communities. The prestigious new African Union headquarters, including the congress centre where AFRICA 2013 will take place, opened in January 2012. It has become a major landmark for the city. The city of Addis Ababa offers a number of world class hotels, including the Sheraton, Radisson Blu, Intercontinental, Hilton and others.
