Ethiopia is , at present a poor country but with great History. Once in its histry was one of the super powers . Its people are very kind ,silent but gets very aggressive when it feels abuse.
The country has never been colonized by European colonizers. Fought with Itali twice , the firist time it defeated the Itali , but after 50 years of preparation Itali gained a brief victory over the Central Ethiopia (for about five years) , then expelled again with other allies.
The contry is a composition of over 80 ethnic people. Especially the about 45 Ethnic people who live in the omo valley and its surrounding areas are still tourist attraction places. Among the Omo valley tribes the Lip plate carriers of the Mursi people, the Beautiful Hammar people, the Karo, Konso , Tsemai and erbore are a few famous.
The Northern part of the country is mainlly stuffed with Historical remains. Ancient Rock Churches , Single stonned (building like ) Obelisk ever raised by humanity in the BCs , Ruined palaced of the Famouse Queen of Sheba, 2500 years old Moon temple, Ectremely super scinic range of mountains ( about 75 % of African mountains are said to exists in Ethiopia ) , superb wall and ciling paintings some of which UNESCO world Heritages site . I think they have about SEVEN world heritage sites registered by UNESCO.
I should not forget the birds too. Ethiopia is said to be heaven for bird watchers, about 820 species in the country , about 16 of them only seen in Ethiopia. Bird watchers love her.
Have I mentioned the scenic mountains ? Excellent for trekkers too , mountainclimbers and rough road bycyclers.
