	History of Ethiopia
		Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in Africa and one of the oldest in the world.
		Under the Emperors Theodore II[?] (1855-1868), Johannes IV[?] (1872-1889), and Menelik II (1889-1913), the kingdom began to emerge from its medieval isolation.
		The connexion between Egypt and Ethiopia was in early times very intimate, and occasionally the two countries were under the same ruler, so that the arts and civilization of the one naturally found their way into the other.

	Wikinfo \| History of Ethiopia
		The connection between Egypt and Ethiopia from at least as early as the Twenty-second Dynasty was very intimate, and occasionally the two countries were under the same ruler, so that the arts and civilization of the one naturally found their way into the other.
		All the emperors have based their claims on their direct descent from Solomon and the queen of Sheba; but it is needless to say that in many, if not in most, cases their success has been due more to the force of their arms than to the purity of their lineage.
		Emperor Theodore II was born Lij (= Mr) Kassa in Kwara, a small district of Western Amhara, in 1818.

	Emperors of Ethiopia
		Ethiopia was finally only conquered, briefly, between 1936 and 1941, by Italy, not, significantly, in the 19th century "scramble for Africa," but in the age of totalitarian conquest in the 1930's.
		While Ethiopia had preserved its independence and Christian religion for centuries against Islâm, constantly enduring the depredations of Arab slavers, many, or most, of whose male victims were castrated, many foreign fls now blame and reject Christianity for the Atlantic slave trade which took their ancestors to the New World.
		Ethiopia and her religion thus receive some respect from a source that, in general, one might have expected to be relatively unaware of the country and relatively hostile to the religion.

	Dawit I of Ethiopia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Taddesse Tamrat discusses a tradition that early in his reign Dawit campaigned against Egypt, reaching as far north as Aswan; in response the Emir forced the Patriarch of Alexandria, Matthew I, to send a deputation to Dawit to persuade him to retire back to his kingdom.
		According to al-Maqrizi, in 1403 Emperor Dawit pursued the Sultan of Adal, Sa'ad ad-Din II to Zeila where he killed Sa'ad ad-Din, and sacked Zeila; however, another contemporary source dates the death of Sa'ad ad-Din to 1415, and gives the credit to Emperor Yeshaq.
		A noted horseman, Dawit was killed when he was kicked in the head by one of his horses.

	The Crown Council of Ethiopia
		Menelik II, as leader of Shoa, had taken the title of Negus during a period when he and Shoa were at odds with Emperor Yohannes IV.
		Much of this is a direct result of the relative isolation of the Ethiopian societies, which grew up protected by the rough topography of the region, and by the fact that world trade for countless centuries passed them by, flowing down the Red Sea and only occasionally touching its littorals.
		According to Ethiopia: The Classic Case, by Ermias Kebede Wolde-Yesus, the Nibure-Id, the title Etchege means, literally, “the one who shares power with and sits beside the Atsie [ie: the Emperor]”, representing the House of the Priesthood.

	Eritrea & the Post-Election
		It would not be proper to try to blame third parties for complications Ethiopians have faced after having had on May 15,2005, an election that had surprised the whole world.
		The point, however, is that the indignation of the Eritrean President does not seem to be caused by consideration of justice and equity over the selection by the U.S of Ethiopia as a strategic partner in the aftermath of the Second World War and the consequences that might have had on Eritrea.
		Thus, while the new nation of Eritrea carved out from Ethiopia, and created by colonialism which also christened it with a name and every thing, could have patriots such as Isaias, it must be a real tragedy for any body to believe that Ethiopia, the old nation, paradoxically, would be bereft of such constituency.

		She gives a staggering delineation of the problems of state formation in Ethiopia, focusing on boundary disputes around the turn of the century, on Ethiopia's insistence on holding on to Eritrea after WW II, on Ethiopia's lack of democracy, and on its inability to maintain law and order.
		She points out that Ethiopia faces all of these problems at once and that the military "revolution" of 1974 has not been able to remedy any of these conflicts or the additional problems of the economy.
		Part II looks at different facets of the national question, now or in the past--the character of the leadership, the concept of government, and the decision-making process.
