The Ethiopian prime minister, Abiy Ahmed, is building himself a palace as part of a grand 503-hectare complex that includes a hotel, accommodation for visiting dignitaries, and three artificial lakes. Some say it’s a vanity project; his spokesperson told that this is a “simplistic narrative,” and that it is actually a “satellite city project” that aims to “transform the face and environs of Addis Ababa.” According to remarks made by Abiy, the bill for the complex could be U.S. $10 billion, more than half of the country’s annual budget.
