Ethiopia

17% of Ethiopians live in urban areas.

There should be many homeless people especially in the cities such as: Addis Ababa, Diredawa or Harar, etc. No wonder, even in most developed countries like America, or Europe, there are many homeless people. The issue is not to raise question, the main issue is how, and when to solve this ongoing problem of the world. I am sure, no one would like to choose this life style, it is part of the society's obstacles of this modern time. Ethiopia is being labeled as one of the poorest country in the world. We hear this for many years, but we don't hear any solution which would help that beautiful country to pull out of poverty. Now, I am in my senior years, when I was a student our teachers used to tell us, it is because of backwardness of farming style; since Ethiopia is dependent on farming. This is now 21st century, whereas the advancement of agriculture and technology is immense, still Ethiopia is lingering the same place. Too much talking very little result, instead people should make effort to cooperate; putting aside pike ring on politics, division on race, religion or on class and should work hard and make a great determination for a tangible result for ones and all to cure that country from poverty. Do you get it, please?

No and Yes. Kenya was a British colony. Small parts of Kenya such as the port city of Mombassa and its environs were historically part of the Portuguese Empire, but by the 1800s, Portugal was not able to prevent the British from colonizing all of Kenya.

Yes it is mentioned in the book of Esther chapter 1 , The king ruled from Ethiopia to India.

There is no such thing as a "country zip code." A Zip Code is a postal code used in either the United States or the Philippines, corresponding to a town or a part of a city.

In a way, it was - though not officially by another country. Liberia was set up as a place where freed slaves from the USA could rule themselves. An American society under president Monroe bought land there and paid for freed slaves who wanted to go to be transported there.

The "colonization" started in 1816, and Liberia became independent in 1847. However, the country called Liberia included some land held by the indigenous people, who had been living in the area before the freed slaves arrived (known as Americo-Liberians or Americo- Libe). So there was always tension between the two groups, and the government was dominated by Americo-Liberians until 1980 - the indigenous people didn't get votes until 1951. (Since the same party ruled for 133 years, it was often said that Liberia had the most stable government in the world.)

Many of the Americo-Liberians viewed themselves as an elite, and better than the native people and not as part of the general populace. - People from other ethnic groups were often called "natives". For this reason, Liberia could be said to be a colony without a country to be colonized from!

There are 8 World Heritage sites in South Africa; 4 cultural, 3 natural and 1 mixed property. These include the Fossil Hominid Sites of South Africa and Robben Island.

The Jews were slaves in the land of Egypt for decades. So both his father and mother were slaves.

Lack of good governance, lack of democratic culture etc...

Ethiopia is one of the only countries to have never lost its Independence. Other than the brief period when the Italians invaded, Ethiopia was never colonized. The reason that the British didn't take over the country after ww1 was that Ethiopia was a member of the League of Nations. The country is also a charter member of the UN.

The population of Ethopia in 2006 was 76,511,887 million people.

Hailemariam Desalegn is the Prime Minister of Ethiopia.
Haliemariam became acting prime minister on 2012 August 20, officially becoming prime minister on Sept 21. He replaced long time Prime Minister Meles Zenawi Asres whom died in office.

Ethiopia consists of about 1,277,000 Square kilometers of land mass and 7,500 Square kilometers of surface water with zero sea front.

Diverse rainfall and temperature patterns are largely the result of Ethiopia's location in Africa's tropical zone and the country's varied topography. Altitude-induced climatic conditions form the basis for three environmental zones-- cool, temperate, and hot--which have been known to Ethiopians since antiquity as the dega, the weina dega, and the kolla, respectively. The cool zone consists of the central parts of the western and eastern sections of the northwestern plateau and a small area around Harer. The terrain in these areas is generally above 2,400 meters in elevation; average daily highs range from near freezing to 16°C, with March, April, and May the warmest months. Throughout the year, the midday warmth diminishes quickly by afternoon, and nights are usually cold. During most months, light frost often forms at night and snow occurs at the highest elevations. Lower areas of the plateau, between 1,500 and 2,400 meters in elevation, constitute the temperate zone. Daily highs there range from 16°C to 30°C. The hot zone consists of areas where the elevation is lower than 1,500 meters. This area encompasses the Denakil Depression, the Eritrean lowlands, the eastern Ogaden, the deep tropical valleys of the Blue Nile and Tekezé rivers, and the peripheral areas along the Sudanese and Kenyan borders. Daytime conditions are torrid, and daily temperatures vary more widely here than in the other two regions. Although the hot zone's average annual daytime temperature is about 27°C, midyear readings in the arid and semiarid areas along the Red Sea coast often soar to 50°C and to more than 40°C in the arid Ogaden. Humidity is usually high in the tropical valleys and along the seacoast. Variations in precipitation throughout the country are the result of differences in elevation and seasonal changes in the atmospheric pressure systems that control the prevailing winds. Because of these factors, several regions receive rainfall throughout most of the year, but in other areas precipitation is seasonal. In the more arid lowlands, rainfall is always meager. In January the high pressure system that produces monsoons in Asia crosses the Red Sea. Although these northeast trade winds bring rain to the coastal plains and the eastern escarpment in Eritrea, they are essentially cool and dry and provide little moisture to the country's interior. Their effect on the coastal region, however, is to create a Mediterranean-like climate. Winds that originate over the Atlantic Ocean and blow across Equatorial Africa have a marked seasonal effect on much of Ethiopia. The resulting weather pattern provides the highlands with most of its rainfall during a period that generally lasts from mid-June to mid-September. The main rainy season is usually preceded in April and May by converging northeast and southeast winds that produce a brief period of light rains, known as balg. These rains are followed by a short period of hot dry weather, and toward the middle of June violent thunderstorms occur almost daily. In the southwest, precipitation is more evenly distributed and also more abundant.

Annual precipitation is heaviest in the southwest, scant in the Great Rift Valley and the Ogaden, and negligible in the Denakil Depression.

Some major landforms in Ethiopia include the Great Rift Valley, Simien Mountains, Bale Mountains, and Danakil Depression. These landforms showcase the country's diverse geography, ranging from high plateaus and mountains to deep valleys and desert landscapes.

Islam entered into East Africa at the very beginning of the Islamic period, around 700 AD. Muslim traders introduced Islam to the East African coast, and the growth of commerce caused the religion to spread.

In Ethiopia there are farmers and fishermen, cattle herders...craftsmen. yeah. They make a living by going to work.

It was the last emperor of Ethiopia who reigned until 1974.

They had no real effect on the invasion.
