In Ethiopia, millions of dollars in investment went up in smoke as protesters attacked foreign companies in the Oromia region. But one foreign company managed to stave off an attack with the help of community elders. More than ten foreign companies have been attacked since September. Some in Ethiopia worry the unrest will stall the foreign direct investment that has fueled the nation's growth. No foreign companies have been attacked since the government declared a 6-month state of emergency October 9.
