Who are Ethiopia's allies and enemies?

Israel's single most reliable ally is the US. It has had throughout the years different allies (such as France, Turkey) but has been in recent years isolated over see its policy in Gaza and what many in the world consider unjustifiable use of force.

As to enemies, the situation is quite complex. Israel has been, since it was born in 1948, locked in a battle for land with Arab nations, which opposed the creation of the Jewish state, and most importantly the Palestinian people.

The Palestinians, many of whom live in refugee camps in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, seek to return to lands they evacuated in 1948, bring back all the refugees to what they deem the land of Palestine and establish a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capitol. They are not satisfied with freedom to manage their lives in the areas they live in now.

Israel regards these claims as unreasonable and unworkable for many reasons. Until a solution is found, some Palestinians feel the only way to make progress and force Israel's hand is by violence. Many also resent Israel's occupation and what they see heavy handedness in enforcing security to its people. The result is continued violence that feeds itself, with both sides self-justifying.

But Israel's fiercest enemies are radical Islamists in different Muslim countries. They use Israel's existence and the Palestinian cause as a lightening rod, to advance the cause of fundamentalism in their own countries.

Why Britain did not colonize Ethiopia?

Ethiopia was not colonized because it resisted Italy's colonization efforts by winning the Battle of Adwa using European-made weapons. Although Italy came back to avenge this loss and rule Ethiopia for five years this is not considered as colonization as it lasted for a short period of time and during this time Italy could not control the guerrilla fighters who were fighting to free their country. Ethiopia was very well guarded by its environment and surrounding empires, which played a key role in warding off European invaders. Ethiopians were also very resistant and successful in defeating European powers.

So, Ethiopia is not poor the government makes Ethiopia poor . Government make a country either successful or not successful .

What are traditional Christmas decorations?

The Christmas tree is usually decorated with candles (some people use real ones, but usually electric lights are used), tinsel and ball ornaments. Gold, silver and red are colours that are often used, generally the tree is much less colourful that Christmas trees in the US for example.
Many people have a nativity set, under the tree or somewhere else in the house. Christmas decorations made in the Erzgebirge are very popular, the people there have a long tradition of making such decorations and toys from wood. You will find a Christmas pyramid in many homes, a kind of small wooden carousel with several levels that usually shows the Holy Family in the middle and the shepherds/three magi revolving around them, driven by the heat from the candles placed around the pyramid.

26: And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert.

27: And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,

28: Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

29: Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot.

30: And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

31: And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him.

32: The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth:

33: In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth.

34: And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man?

35: Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

36: And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized?

37: And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

38: And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him.

39: And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

40: But Philip was found at Azotus: and passing through he preached in all the cities, till he came to Caesarea.
