How many people in Ethiopia have HIV?
No one is answering this question but some assumptions can be made. One could look at the 2000 numbers of hiv/aids infections of over 32 million which was including the estimated 5 million newly infected that year. If you just added 5 million new cases for each year up to 2006 that number would be 62 million who are hiv/aids positive.
However, the numbers for 2006 as reported early 2007 showed a total of over 29 million and an estimated increase for 2007 to over 32 million. To me this seems to indicate a loss of up to 30 million lives during this 7 year period. Could this be right and if so why is there not a combined world effort to find a cure.
Perhaps because the research being done most extensively is devoted to treatments which can make these companies a lot of money. After all, it is just good business to concentrate on drugs which individuals have to buy for a lifetime in order to stay alive rather than a cure or vaccine which would prevent the transfer of the virus.
We have the drugs available to keep people alive, it is now time for us to combine our knowledge and resources from every country of the world. World leaders devoted to the concept of a cure for the dying and a vaccine to prevent further infections might not be loved by the pharmaceutical companies who make the money from the life extending drugs sold now. We eradicated smallpox this way and there is no reason other than these money hungry pharmaceutical companies who are coming up with nothing but repackaged treatments which then get another patent so they can continue making money after the older patents run out but don't do much more than what the previous drug treatments were capable of doing.
If the number of deaths from hiv/aids are even close to the figures I estimated above and we are no closer to a cure or vaccine today as we were 10 years ago, well then we really are nothing but a country which values the dollar over life. This would be a really sad reflection of our humanity and our human race would it not?
Use your brains C'mon you guys are smart I bet you can figure this out ;)

What are the advantages of ethnic federalism in Ethiopia?
Ethnic federalism in Ethiopia is designed to accommodate the country's diverse ethnic groups by granting them autonomy and the ability to govern themselves within their own regions. This system promotes self-determination, allowing ethnic communities to preserve their languages, cultures, and traditions while fostering a sense of identity and belonging. Additionally, it aims to reduce ethnic tensions by providing a structured framework for political representation and resource allocation, thus potentially enhancing social stability and unity among Ethiopia's various groups. However, these advantages come with challenges, including the risk of exacerbating ethnic divisions.

1. Italy lacked a large colonial empire.
2. Under the Treaty of Versailles, Italy was granted little land.
3. Italian economy was not in a good shape, A Colonial War would distract attention from this.
4. Abyssinia could be a useful market for Italian goods and was a good place to settle Italy's surplus population.
5. Above all, Mussolini glorified War, some suggest he wanted revenge for the defeat of 1896.
6. Basically Italy wanted to be a strong empire, like the roman empire

What color eyes do Ethiopians have?
Well, it ranges. I've seen ethiopians with blue eyes and even hazel but more darker. Generally, they have dark brown eyes which are big and exotic looking.

Are the ethiopian people the original Hebrew people?
Answer 1
No. All people who claim Jewish ancestry admit and believe that Abraham was their founding ancestor. Since he was born in Iraq (Ur) in Western Asia, and since Jews have intermarried very little in the last 3800 years, he probably looked like Jews today. Our tradition is that the twelve sons of Jacob (the 12 Tribes) were not completely similar to each other in appearance, though none of them was really dark-skinned (Rashi commentary on Genesis 12:11).
DNA testing of Jewish communities worldwide has shown that they are all interrelated and of Middle Eastern genetics, comparable to the Sephardim today (not African or Egyptian). The only exception to this is the Ethiopian Jews, who show only a trace of DNA connection to other Jewish communities. Western ethnologists today hold the view that the Jews of Gondar (Ethiopia) either emerged from a Judaizing strain among Ethiopian Christians, or were converted by Yemeni Jews who crossed the Red Sea.
They differ from other Jews in several respects. They pray in an Ethiopic language, rather than in Hebrew. They also maintain forms of monasticism, which died out elsewhere with the long-extinct Essenes. Like the Samaritans, they have no knowledge of the Talmud, or of Purim or Hanukkah.
A study by Professors Lucotte and Smets has shown that the genetic father of Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews) was close to the Ethiopian non-Jewish populations. This is consistent with the theory that Beta Israel are descendants of ancient inhabitants of Ethiopia, not the Middle East.Hammer et al. in 2000, and the team of Shen in 2004, arrive at similar conclusions, namely that the DNA of the Ethiopian Jews probably indicates a conversion of local populations.
A 2012 study showed that while primarily related to the local populations, Ethiopian Jews have very distant genetic links to other Jews, and are likely descended from a few Jewish founders. It has been concluded that the community began when a few itinerant Jews who settled in Ethiopia in ancient times, converted locals to Judaism, and married into the local populations. It has been estimated that this happened some 2,000 years ago.
Note also that the claim that European Jews were not from the original Jews is an anti-Semitic canard made popular by a Jewish Jew-hater named Koestler. It has been debunked by DNA studies on Jewish communities from around the world. It has been found that Ashkenazim are quite closely related to Sephardim and originated in the Middle East.
A 2013 study of Ashkenazi mitochondrial DNA found no significant evidence of Khazar contribution to the Ashkenazi Jewish DNA, as would be predicted by the Khazar hypothesis; and although there is no historical or DNA evidence to support the Khazar idea, it is still popular among anti-Semites.
In 2000, the analysis of a report by Nicholas Wade "provided genetic witness that Jewish communities have, to a remarkable extent, retained their biological identity separate from their host populations, evidence of relatively little intermarriage or conversion into Judaism over the centuries. The results accord with Jewish history and tradition and refute theories which would allege that Western Jewish communities consist mostly of converts."
Answer 2
Yes they are because all roads point to such. You have The Arc of The Covenant and The Book of Enoch in Ethiopia.The Ashkenazi are converts as Shlomo Sand's book states, Not The Seed of Abraham as per DNA testing they are JUDEAO/KHAZARS. There admixture is from the Caucasus ,Turkey ,Mongolia, Eastern Europe and some African.DNA Studies done in 2013 and 2014 has shown that the Lemba Tribe in South East Africa has one of the highest Conan gene pools( Y DNA ) amongst all Jews! If one would really put evrything in context Ethiopia is the mother of Abrahamic religion. Menelik I could trace his lineage back to the Queen of Sheba and King Solomon. You Even have some Jewish people that are Ashkenazi that have an L2a1 maternal haplogroup and some Eastern Europeans with the same indigenous African DNA . Some ASHKAENAZI scholars have even stated that the Ethiopian jews are the original jews.The book of Enoch was written in Hebrew when it was founded by a Scotsman and taken to England for interperntation by a professor. The ancient Ethiopians were early contributors to christianity. Europe pays homage to the black Maddona and child. Ethiopia was lower Egypt and Moses hid amongst the Egyptians so they had to be the same coloration. This information I am relaying is not to knock the ashkenazi. Judaism is a great religion and each group contributed something to it. The Lemba, Igbo of Nigeria also have Hebrew lineage. This will all make sense to you as I have provided links below to support whats being stated.

What type of economic do axum have?
Axum, an ancient kingdom located in what is now Ethiopia and Eritrea, had a mixed economy that included agriculture, trade, and minting coins. The region's fertile highlands supported agriculture, producing crops like grains and coffee. Axum was also a significant trading hub, connecting trade routes between the Mediterranean and India, facilitating the exchange of goods such as ivory, gold, and spices. The kingdom's economy was further strengthened by its development of a coinage system, which facilitated trade both locally and internationally.
What caused the famines of the 1980s in Ethiopia?
