== History ==
{{Main|History o Addis Ababa}}
The site o Addis Ababa wis chosen bi Empress [[Taytu Betul]] an the ceety wis foondit in 1886 bi her husband, Emperor [[Menelik II o Ethiopie|Menelik II]]. The name o the ceety (ኣዲስ ኣበባ) wis taken frae pairts o the ceety cawed ''hora Finfinnee'' ("hot springs") in [[Oromo leid|Oromo]]. Anither Oromo name o the ceety is Sheger. Menelik, as initially a Keeng o the [[Shewa]] province, haed foond [[Munt Entoto]] a uiseful base for military operations in the sooth o his realm, an in 1879 visitit the reputit ruins o a medieval toun, an an unfinished rock kirk that showed proof o an Ethiopian presence in the aurie prior tae the campaigns o [[Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi|Ahmad Gragn]]. His interest in the aurie grew when his wife Taytu began wirk on a kirk on Entoto, an Menelik endoued a seicont kirk in the aurie.

Housomeivver the immediate aurie did no encourage the foonding o a toun due tae the lack o [[firewood]] an [[water]], sae dounset actually began in the valley sooth o the muntain in 1886.  Initially, Taytu biggit a hoose for hersel near the "Filwoha" het [[mineral springs]], whaur she an members o the Showan Ryal Court liked tae tak mineral baths.  Ither nobility an thair staffs an hoosehaulds settled the vicinity, an Menelik expandit his wife's hoose tae acome the [[Imperial Palace]] which remains the seat o govrenment in Addis Ababa the day.  The name chynged tae Addis Ababa an became Ethiopie's caipital when Menelik II became Emperor o Ethiopie. The toun grew bi leaps an boonds. Ane o Emperor Menelik's contreibutions that is still visible the day is the plantin o numerous [[eucalyptus]] trees alang the ceety streets.<ref>Pankhurst, p. 195</ref>

On 5 Mey 1936, [[Italy|Italian]] troops invadit Addis Ababa durin the [[Seicont Italo-Abyssinian War]], makin it the caipital o [[Italian East Africae]] frae 1936 tae 1941 efter killin aboot a million Ethiopians wi mustard gas. Efter the Italian airmy in Ethiopie wis defeatit bi the Breetish forces durin the [[East African Campaign (Warld War II)|East African Campaign]], Emperor [[Haile Selassie]] returned tae Addis Ababa on 5 Mey 1941—five years tae the vera day efter he haed depairtit—an immediately began the wirk o re-establishin his caipital.

Emperor Haile Selassie helped form the [[Organization o African Unity]] in 1963, an invitit the new organisation tae keep its heidquarters in the ceety. The OAU wis dissolved in 2002 an replaced bi the [[African Union]] (AU), an aa heidquartered in Addis Ababa. The [[Unitit Naitions Economic Commission for Africae]] an aa haes its heidquarters in Addis Ababa. Addis Ababa wis an aa the site o the [[Oriental Orthodoxy|Cooncil o the Oriental Orthodox Kirks]] in 1965.
