    Love to Ethiopia from Italy. Fun Fact #1: Did you guys also know that Ethiopia helped South Korea during their war against North Korea, I think correct me if I got it wrong. Fun Fact #2: In Ethiopia there are a small amount of Italian schools, I know this because I was born in Italy but I grew up to the age of 7 in Ethiopia and went to an Italian School where they basically teach you stuff but in Italian.
    To the Ethiopians out there I reeaaaaaallllllyyy love your culture and language, which is why I converted my religion to Orthodox Christianity, and I'd appreciate it a lot if you tell me more facts by replying to my comment. Ethiopia shall live forever

You can google that information yourself. But it doesn't really matter which religion is majority. Christianity and Islam are not that different from each other. Ethiopians of all religions have lived together for centuries without a lot of problems and that should be a source of pride.

This video is not comprehensive; it was only created to serve as a primer not to encapsulate or punctiliously describe Ethiopia in its full entirety otherwise the video would not have been this short. I recommend that you at least comprehend a modicum of a subject before discharging an opinion.

      @Daniel Raya What's with all the hate? As long as they search for their heritage and identify with it, they are 100% Ethiopians. The word "ትውልደ ኢትዮጵያዊ" (Ethiopian descent) literally means that anyone who has an Ethiopian ancestor, wherever they may be born. You can't take away their genes. You should rather encourage children of the diaspora to look for and hold on to their roots because they are our ambassadors to the outside world.

      If you're into historical landmarks, you should definitely visit Gondar castle and Lalibela. I'm no expert on giving advice, but i wouldn't recommend retiring to this country after a 2 weeks visit, unless you have relatives there, or are married to an Ethiopian, or speak the language. Then there's the issue of ownership of property which is complex, unless you're just renting. That's just a few obstacles, but it's definitely worth visiting.

First of all a religion doesn't change your ethnicity, second, not all Ethiopian Jews left to Israel, yes my family did, but i have lots of Jewish family still in Ethiopia, and some Jewish Ethiopians moved to Europe and America. Not all Jews are Israelis, not all Ethiopian Jews are Israelis, not all Ethiopian Jews are habesha (most are), the majority of the Ethiopian Jewish community in Israel have a family still in Ethiopia and in the habesha community..

    As a Somalia I went to Ethiopia last year 2019, it was my first time i been there..in Addis Ababa it was really nice place and i met friendly people..my trip has changed my perception about Ethiopia generally...as you know there have been many wars between Ethiopia and Somalia for centuries..i came to know that the problem was not really from the Ethiopian people but from the politicians who come to power which they try to pursue a fascist policies against their neighbouring Somalia.
    It was really different from what I thought...thanks to the people of Ethiopia i hope we will live in peace and have a mutual respect for each other.
    I believe if we would have been friends from the beginning we would have established a good partnership in many sectors mainly economic partnership and cultural integration where we share a long border and cultural similarities as well as our Cushitic background.
    Somalia would really offer Ethiopia a sea access for port and Maritime transportation for their economic backbone.
    Let’s just collaborate peacefully we really need each other than our differences.

    13:25 That ”Ensete” stuff kind of reminds me of ”Pettuleipä” (”bark bread”). We actually made it once at camp school back on 7th grade, to get a feel for, how Finns persevered through ”Suuret nälkävuodet” (”the great hunger years”) of 1866-1868. I absolutely loved it, it tasted like perfectly normal wheat or oat bread, and even the dried ”pettu” (”tree bark”), itself, tasted delicious, it was like healthy potato chips. Really just the idea of using wood material for food is, what reminded me of that; otherwise the dishes have little to nothing in common. The ”pettu” was also incredibly difficult to harvest, as it’s really not the outer-most skin of the tree, itself, but the extremely thin layer just under it.

They (habeshas) are culturaly predominantly semitized but geneticaly are dominantly cushitic. Otherwise they would have to look presumably as arabs and they resemble more of their cushitic neighbours.

      It's not a stick.. it's made from a stone it has shapes of doors and Windows in it ... and it was made a THOUSAND year ago .. during that time ethiopia was one of the big ancient civilization with ROME EGYPT INDIA CHINA .. rome literatures at the time hv wrote abt them.. they had rnship with other kingdoms .. with egypt as well .. and Indian coins hv been found in axum .. axum empire have their own coins as well they use to exchange with other kingdoms
      Back to the stick .. can you make that stick now? Let alone a THOUSAND years ago bytheway it's very tall it's not small ... and they transported it from a different area .. to where u see it ...
      so what method they use to cut that n transport it and use to stand it ???
      the Italians had stole one of this oblestic they had to break it 5 times to put in planes ..so it's big and resembles a skyscraper
      My English sucks 😂

    Fun fact:
    "Ethiopia" the word has origins in Ancient Greek as it means "burned people."
    Story goes that Helios, god of the sun, let his mortal son drive his chariot to drag the sun across the sky for a laugh. He lost control because he was a silly mortal, and dragged the sun too close to the earth over Ethiopia and burned the skin of everyone in the land.
    Ancients Greeks believed some whacky stuff.

      @Ibrahim Hassan dumb*ss, where did I say Somalis never created any kingdom or nation? I only said they never were all united under a single entity, which is true. The ajuraan empire to his height went from Kismayo to Qelafo, so not all Somalis were under this empire. Adal was only in Somaliland, not central and southern modern Somalia
