I study this country and people and its history in depth. beyond depth actually. It turns out most people dont know anything about this country at all, nor its people, nor especially its rich, dynamic and complicted geopolitical history with the rest of the world as a major world power up until 1936, and realistically even up unto today, because as poor as we think of ethiopia as, they have the largest, strongest and most advanced military force in Africa, and is the US primary ally economically and militarily in the Middle East (aside from Israelis)

so what do you'll know or have heard about Ethiopia in general? I am curious what the average understanding is amongst normal people, who are not quite as obsessed as I am..
