When you think of Ethiopia, what first comes to mind?

[Toad-1]

Ethiopia!

[goflipaburger]

incredible and revolutionary :) not because of their current government, but because of all the incredible writers, scholars, and philosophers who have come from Ethiopia.

i also think about the severe exploitation that they are enduring by the first world. i think about how starbucks likely has exploited children and their families to gain access to more affordable coffee. or how so many people are forced to work to gain access to minerals for products the first world hardly requires, but demands anyways.

and Ethiopian food. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO goooood

[goflipaburger]

<3 thank you :)

[ElissaDido]

An east African country next to Somalia
People have dark complexion and small facial features. Mainly christian Orthodox and Islam is the second religion. Supermodels

[cjmtherfcker]

actually they have a much longer hebrew history than any other religion

[ElissaDido]

@cjmtherfcker Yes I agree, it's obvious because Judaism is oldest of the 3 Abrahamic religions, but proportion wise, the Jewish population can barely compete with Christianity, Islam and paganism

[cjmtherfcker]

yeah probably islam is really strong in that region right now and has been for the better part of a thousand years. Judaism is just usually the first religion I associate with them. My best friend was Ethiopian. I have seen some really fair skin Ethiopians. like really fair. I don't typically associate them with dark skin as compared to other Africans

[Deft_maiden]

Famine Years back.. Rich history.. poverty oppressed Jewish population in Isreal and in Ethiopia

[Saydou]

A great country from horn of africa with very rich with history, who have got 80 different ethnic groups, one of the fast developing countries in the world, they have got an amazing food, it's very rainy all the time, it's 2007 for them now and more importantly @heartattack25 is from there.

@heartattack25 to be honest that is a stigma from years ago when all that was spoken about was famine and death, as you live there sure you know far better how it has improved than me
