First and foremost I would like to introduce Ethiopia and will proceed with the other mentioned questions....
Ethiopia is a landlocked country located in the Horn of Africa.It is the second-most populous nation in Africa with over 79.2 million people and the tenth-largest by area with its 1,100,000 km2. The capital is Addis Ababa menaing new flower. Ethiopia is bordered by Eritrea to the north, Sudan to the west, Djibouti and Somalia to the east, and Kenya to the south.
Ethiopia has been an independent nation since ancient times, being one of the oldest countries in the world. Besides being an ancient country, Ethiopia is one of the oldest sites of human existence known to scientists today, having yielded some of humanity's oldest traces, it might be the place where Homo sapiens first set out for the Middle East and points beyond.
When Africa was divided up by European powers at the Berlin Conference, Ethiopia was one of only two countries that retained its independence. It was one of only four African members of the League of Nations.
Ethiopia is one of the founding members of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), G-77 and the Organisation of African Unity (OAU). Today, Addis Ababa is still the headquarter of the African Union, the Nile Basin Commission and UNECA.
Ethiopia also has its own time system and unique calendar, seven to eight years behind the Gregorian Calendar.
The country is a land of natural contrasts, with spectacular waterfalls and volcanic hot springs. Ethiopia has some of Africa's highest mountains as well as some of the world's lowest points below sea level. The largest cave in Africa is located in Ethiopia at Sof Omar, and the country's northernmost area at Dallol is one of the hottest places year-round anywhere on Earth. There are altogether around 80 different ethnic groups in Ethiopia today, with the two largest being the Oromo and the Amhara, both of which speak Afro-Asiatic languages. The country is also famous for its Olympic gold medalists, rock-hewn churches and as the place where the coffee bean originated. Currently, Ethiopia is the top coffee and honey-producing country in Africa, and home to the largest livestock population in Africa.
Ethiopia is the source of over 85% of the total Nile water flow and contains rich soils, but it nevertheless underwent a series of famines in the 1980s, exacerbated by adverse geopolitics and civil wars, resulting in perhaps a million deaths.
Ethiopia has the biggest economy in East Africa (GDP)as the Ethiopian economy is also one of the fastest growing in the world and it is a regional powerhouse in the Horn and east Africa.
If I continue it will take ages, anyways this is where I come from and I am so proud to be Ethiopian.
Ok, I totally agree there is war and famine in Ethiopia and in other African countries aswell, but that doesn't make us less fortunate as we are striving for a better day...and as we have enormous natural resources like Nile..
I believe there are more than 10,000 Ethiopians living in Qatar, trying to maintain a roof over their heads.
Ethiopians are very much known for their hospitality and friendly manners.
There was a good questioned raised up there which is question # 7, I will tell you why......because we are beautiful, we are sincere, we are different, we are friendly, out going and most of all we are strong, and have a firm belief in the things that we do, and we have a goal/aim/objective to help ourselves and our families.
We are here to better ourselves and our beloved ones, this is why you see so many labours, maids, security guards...everywhere you go whether in a restaurant, compounds, night clubs you name it... because we have a dream, we dont sit and dream, we take all the opportunity there is to overcome our problems, our current political/economical situation and to overcome hunger and poverty.
