ታሪክ (History)

In 1995, the ✨ Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia ✨ was established under the leadership of president Meles Zenawi, introducing a system known as ethnic federalism. This system divided the country along ethnic lines into nine regional states and two multiethnic administrations. Ethnic groups were theoretically granted the "right of secession," although the government continued to violently oppose any attempts to exercise this right.

Unfortunately, Ethiopia continued starving and living in poverty for a long time. But now he started to recover from the bad times. Ethiopia is now one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. If Ethiopia continues to progress at its current rate, Ethiopia will be richer than the current Mexico by 2030.

On July 9, 2018, he and Eritrea restored diplomatic relations by finalizing their border, officially ending the border conflict.

Around March 10, 2019, Ethiopian Airlines had a recent airplane crash using the Boeing 737 Max plane in which the pilots were not properly trained compared to the regular Boeing 737. This caused some countries such as USA to ban using this certain model of the plane which is not properly settled for flight. This led to 300+ deaths during the tragedy.

ኢኮኖሚ (Economy)

Ethiopia registered the fastest economic growth under Meles Zenawi's administration. According to the IMF, Ethiopia was one of the fastest growing economies in the world, registering over 10% economic growth from 2004 through 2009. He was the fastest-growing non-oil-dependent African economy in the years 2007 and 2008. In 2015, the World Bank highlighted that Ethiopia had witnessed rapid economic growth with real domestic product (GDP) growth averaging 10.9% between 2004 and 2014.

In 2008 and 2011, Ethiopia's growth performance and considerable development gains were challenged by high inflation and a difficult balance of payments situation. Inflation surged to 40% in August 2011 because of loose monetary policy, large civil service wage increase in early 2011, and high food prices.

In spite of fast growth in recent years, GDP per capita is one of the lowest in the world, and the economy faces a number of serious structural problems. However, with a focused investment in public infrastructure and industrial parks, Ethiopia's economy is addressing its structural problems to become a hub for light manufacturing in Africa. In 2019 a law was passed allowing expatriate Ethiopians to invest in Ethiopia's financial service industry.

ቡና (Coffee)

Ethiopian coffee is renowned worldwide for its unique flavor and rich heritage, deeply intertwined with the country's history and culture. Ethiopia is often considered the birthplace of coffee, with legends tracing its discovery back to the ancient coffee forests of the Ethiopian plateau. The diverse topography and climate of Ethiopia create ideal conditions for growing a variety of coffee beans, particularly the Coffea Arabica variety, which is known for its complex and nuanced flavor profile. Major coffee-growing regions such as Sidamo (also a former province), Yirgachefe (woreda), and Harar each produce beans with distinct characteristics, ranging from fruity and floral notes to bold and spicy flavors. Ethiopian coffee is traditionally enjoyed in a ceremonial manner, reflecting the social and cultural significance of coffee in Ethiopian society. The coffee industry is also a critical component of the national economy, providing livelihoods for millions of farmers and contributing significantly to the country's export earnings.
