The current Ethiopia was created by Habasha ethnic group of northwestern today of the country through bloody war in 1900.Ethiopia,officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, is a landlocked country situated in the horn of Africa. İt is bordered by Eritrea to the north, Sudan to the west, Kenya to the south, Somalia to the east, and Djibouti to the northeast. İt has an estimated population of over 80 million. İts capital is Finfinne (or the current Abyssinean name "addis ababa").
Ethiopia is one of the new state since its creation in 1900 and Africa's second-most populous nation.
Habashan "solomonic dynasty" according to legend began with the reign of Emperor Menelik I in 1000B.C. İn reality, the Habasha has no historical relation to the "solomonic dynasy". İnitially, it was claimed by the armed group of Neftenya(the rebel group from northern part of todays Ethiopia which massacred the current Ethiopian population for long time) in which came to power in 1887( Emperor Menelik), which is finally created todays Ethiopia through bloody war. Since the creation of Neftenya Empire on the Current Ethiopia since 1900, all successive Habasha ruler claimed the line of "solomonic dynasty". Solomonic dynasty was an ideology politically and ethnically motivated by the habasha of todays north western Ethiopia till 1974,even if there is still effect on the country.
Ethiopia has the largest number of UNESCO World Heritage sites in Africa (shares position with South Africa),even if there is still discrimination infavor of only Habasha-orthodox heritage. And the country is famous for its olympic distance athlets. The most famous Ethiopian world athlets are:Abbaba Biqila,Mamo Wolde, Kenenisa Bekele, Derartu Tullu, Gazzany Aberra,Tirunash Dibaba,Fatuma Roba, Galate Burqa,Silashi Sihine, Meseret Defar, Haile Gebreslasi, and other.
İn outside of Ethiopia, the country was also known as Abyssinia,derived from habesh, an early Arabic form of the Ethnosemetic name of Amhara-Tigray. The term habesha, strictly speaking refers only to the Amhara and Tigray-Tigrigna people who have historically dominated the country for a century. So i want to make clear that, habasha or abyssinia strictly refers to just the north-western Ethiopian provinces of Amhara and Tigray.
