I single out Ethiopia because I personally love Ethiopia. that is all. I love the language, the culture, the dress, the food, the music, the history, and especially the people. could I love the others you mentioned? perhaps, but I am rather Ethio-centric now, for better or worse. and to glice, it is interesting to me just how many people actually know an Ethiopian or two, considering they are quite a minority in the United States (for example, in the US there are more Africans from Cape Verde then Ethiopia, and yet most people know an ethiopian but have never even remotely heard of Cape Verde)
