Since a few years, the Ethiopian government has launched an ambitious program in order to valorize some major sites of Addis Ababa heritage that have for long been inaccessible to the public such as the National Palace (Jubilee Palace). This operation seems to aim a better visibility and accessibility of Addis Ababa historical monuments. In such a context, what are the main challenges, issues and risks? How can a global program be settled in order to deliver a proper message about these historical places? What does the valorization of such symbolic palaces can take place in the general vision of Addis Ababa city heritage?
