I-Ethiopia ingelinye lamazwe athuthukile emhlabeni.Izolimo nokufuya kungumgogodla womnotho wezwe nokuhwebelana kwamanye amazwe ngokuthola emazweni angaphandle, futhi isisekelo saso sezimboni asinamandla. Ucebile ngemithombo yamaminerali namanzi. I-Ethiopia icebile kakhulu ngemithombo yamanzi, enemifula namachibi amaningi kule ndawo, eyaziwa ngokuthi yi "East African Water Tower". Kunemifula namachibi amaningi kule ndawo.UMfula iBlue Nile uqhamuka lapha, kepha isilinganiso sokusetshenziswa kwawo singaphansi kuka-5%. IGibhithe futhi ingelinye lamazwe anemithombo yomhlaba ecebe kakhulu ngokushisa komhlaba. Ngenxa yokuguguleka kwenhlabathi nokugawulwa okungaboni, ihlathi lonakele kakhulu. Izigaba zezimboni aziphelele, isakhiwo asinangqondo, izingxenye nezinto zokusetshenziswa zingeniswa kwamanye amazwe, futhi izimboni zokukhiqiza nokucubungula ikakhulukazi ukudla, isiphuzo, indwangu, ugwayi nesikhumba. Isakhiwo asilingani, sigxile emadolobheni amabili noma amathathu kubandakanya inhlokodolobha. Ezolimo zingumgogodla womnotho kazwelonke kanye nemali etholwayo yokuthumela ngaphandle.Izitshalo zokudla eziyinhloko ibhali, ukolweni, ummbila, amabele kanye ne-teff eyingqayizivele yase-Ethiopia. ITeff inezinhlayiya ezincane futhi icebile ngesitashi.Kungukudla okuthandwa kakhulu ngabantu base-Ethiopia. Izitshalo zemali zifaka ikhofi, chate utshani, izimbali, izitshalo zikawoyela, njll. I-Ethiopia icebe kakhulu ngekhofi futhi ingomunye wabakhiqizi bekhofi abayi-10 abahamba phambili emhlabeni.Ukukhishwa kwayo kukleliswe isithathu e-Afrika, kanti ukuthunyelwa kwayo kubanga izingxenye ezimbili kwezintathu zemali engenayo ekhishwa emazweni angaphandle. Kusukela ngo-2005 kuya ku-2006, i-Ethiopia yathumela kwamanye amazwe amathani angu-183,000 ekhofi, abiza ama-US $ 427 million. I-Ethiopia inezindawo ezinotshani eziningi, kanti ngaphezu kwengxenye yomhlaba wezwe ilungele amadlelo.Ngonyaka ka-2001, kwakukhona izinhloko zemfuyo eziyizigidi eziyi-130, zibalwa kuqala emazweni ase-Afrika, kanti inani lomkhiqizo lalingama-20% we-GDP. Inothile ngemithombo yezokuvakasha, futhi kunezinsalela eziningi zamasiko namapaki ezilwane zasendle. I-Ethiopia icebile ngemithombo yezokuvakasha, inezinsalela eziningi zamasiko namapaki ezilwane zasendle. Ngo-2001, yathola izivakashi zakwamanye amazwe ezingama-140,000 futhi yathola amadola ayizigidi ezingama-79 e-US ngokushintshaniswa kwamanye amazwe.

Iqiniso elithandekayo "impande" yekhofi ise-Ethiopia. Cishe ngonyaka ka-900 AD, ngenkathi umalusi endaweni yaseKafa e-Ethiopia edla ezintabeni, wathola ukuthi izimvu zazibangisana ngamajikijolo abomvu. Ngemuva kokudla, imvu yagxuma yasabela ngendlela engajwayelekile. Umalusi wacabanga ukuthi izimvu zakhe zazidleni. Ukudla okuyingozi nokukhathazeka ubusuku bonke. Ngokumangazayo, umhlambi wezimvu wawuphephile futhi uzwakala ngakusasa. Lokhu kutholwa okungalindelekile kwenze umalusi aqoqe lesi sithelo sasendle ukuze aqede ukoma kwakhe. Wezwa ukuthi ujusi unephunga elimangazayo futhi wayejabule kakhulu ngemuva kokuwaphuza. Ngakho-ke waqala ukutshala lesi sitshalo, esathuthukisa ikhofi enkulu yanamuhla. Igama lekhofi lisuselwa kundlela yekhofi. Indawo yaseKafa ibilokhu ibizwa ngokuthi "idolobha lekhofi".

I-Addis Ababa : I-Addis Ababa, inhlokodolobha yase-Ethiopia, isesigodini esisenkabeni enkabeni. Ekuphakameni kwamamitha angama-2350, idolobha eliphakeme kunawo wonke e-Afrika. Inani labantu lingaphezu kwezigidi ezintathu (izibalo ezisemthethweni zaseGibhithe ngo-2004). Ikomkhulu le-African Union likuleli dolobha. Eminyakeni engaphezu kwekhulu eyedlule, le ndawo yayiseyihlane.UmkaMenelik II unkosikazi wakhe uTaito wakha indlu eduze kwentwasahlobo eshisayo lapha, njengesiqalo sokwakhiwa kwedolobha, futhi ngokuhamba kwesikhathi wavumela izicukuthwane ukuthola umhlaba lapha. Ngo-1887, uMenelik II wathutha ngokusemthethweni inhlokodolobha yakhe lapha. Ngokusho kwe-Amharic, i-Addis Ababa isho ukuthi "idolobha lezimbali ezintsha" futhi yadalwa yiNdlovukazi uTaitu. I-Addis Ababa isendaweni ethambekayo esezintabeni ezungezwe izintaba, ihlukaniswe kabili ngokuya ngesimo sendawo. Yize umhlaba useduze nenkabazwe, isimo sezulu sipholile futhi izinkathi zonyaka zifana nentwasahlobo, ezineziqongo ezingadluli nezintaba ezizungeze umuzi. Ubuhle basemadolobheni buhle, imigwaqo ihlala phansi nezintaba, futhi imigwaqo igcwele izimbali eziyinqaba; izihlahla zikagamthilini zikhona yonke indawo, zincane futhi zizacile, ziluhlaza futhi ziluhlaza, zinamaqabunga angunxantathu alengayo, umbala uyisithwathwa kancane, futhi ubukeka njengoqalo olumbozwe ngeqhwa. , Ingabe indawo eyingqayizivele yalo muzi.

I-Addis Ababa iyisikhungo sezomnotho e-Ethiopia. Ngaphezu kwesigamu samabhizinisi ezweni agxile eningizimu-ntshonalanga yedolobha, kanti amadolobha aseningizimu yizindawo zezimboni. Kunesikhungo sokuhweba ngekhofi edolobheni. Kuyindlela yokuhamba ngomgwaqo omkhulu nojantshi, enezindiza ezixhumanisa amadolobha asekhaya namazwe ase-Afrika, eYurophu nase-Asia.
