In this first episode of our Ethiopia travel series, I’m on a hunt for French footprints in the heart of eastern Ethiopia. From crumbling colonial buildings to lively markets and railway secrets, we’re peeling back the layers of a city shaped by French engineers, Ethiopian culture, and time itself. What did the French really leave behind? And can you still feel it in the air?
