Ethiopia: The nation that was never colonized in Africa
Monday, 1 January 2007 - 12:42 PM SL Time |  | |
Ethiopia is a landlocked country situated in the Horn of Africa. It is the third-most populous nation in Africa, bordered by Eritrea to the north, Djibouti to the northeast, Somalia to the southeast, Kenya to the south, and Sudan to the west.
Ethiopia is the only country in Africa with an unbroken sovereignty and is one of the oldest continuous nations in the world.
Recently being regarded as `the cradle of mankind`, Ethiopia is also the second-oldest official Christian nation in the world, after Armenia.
Human settlement in Ethiopia is very ancient; bones of the earliest ancestors to the human species, discovered in Ethiopia, have been assigned dates as long ago as 5.8 million years.

No they stopped one, by pushing out some islamonazis from the Somalian capital. And hopefully right out of Somalia alltogether |
