Angelina Jolie took her daughter Zahara to her birth country of Ethiopia to meet their first female president. The pair was also joined by her other children, Shiloh, Vivienne, and Knox, for their special trip.
It was a historical day when Sahle-Work Zewde was elected as Ethiopia's first female president, and Jolie made an inspiring gesture for her daughter Zahara's 15th birthday to meet the newly-elected leader of her birth country.

TRAVELING TO ETHIOPIA TO MEET ITS FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENT
According to sources, Jolie thought the trip to Ethiopia would be a great experience for her kids, and feels it's important for Zahara to keep the connection with her birth country strong.
It is also a bonus that they got to meet Sahle-Work Zewde, who now serves as an inspiration to young girls like Zahara.
BACK TO SHILOH'S BIRTH COUNTRY
Along with Zahara, her 13-year-old daughter Shiloh also had the opportunity to meet the president, as she was also born in the African country.
Jolie expressed her desires to move abroad, but her back-and-forth custody battle with ex-husband Brad Pitt is making it difficult.
While her 11-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne were also with them in Ethiopia, they did not meet the president like her siblings did.
