Line 1: − [[Image:Et-map.gif|right|thumb]] − '''Ethiopia''' is an [[African]] [[country]] located between [[Sudan]] and [[Somalia]]. With the exception of the Italian occupation of 1936-1941, Ethiopia is the only African country to never have been colonised by a European imperialist power.(see CIA World Fact Book:[https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/et.html]) a bloody border dispute with [[Eritrea]] following that country's secession in 1991 has claimed many lives, and the country has experienced a number of [[famine]]s in the past century. Perhaps most notable of thse are the 1974 famine that led to the Marxist ouster of Emperor [[Haile Selassie]] and the 1984-1985 famine that inspired [[Bob Geldof]] to begin the Band Aid/Live Aid project. − − [[Coffee]] originated in Ethiopia. − − − =References= − − http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/features/mapcenter/map.aspx - An interactive map of the world − − [[Category:African Countries]]
