Gabriel Gatehouse was in the city of Goma last week when rebel troops entered, defeating the government's forces. Not only that, but a UN peacekeeping force was also unable to stop them. While politicians in neighbouring countries meet to discuss the situation, what will happen to the residents of Goma? Mary Harper is tasting the new food in Addis Ababa. From cupcakes to Italian pizza, things are changing. But beneath the surface, has Ethiopia's capital got a long way to go before it becomes a truly globalised modern city?
