Pretty useless civilization. What have they been doing from biblical age that they have never dominated Africa? They enslaved blacks (shanqalla) for hard labour for thousands of years till the Italians stopped them (pretty uncivilized). They still have the racial discrimination which affects access to resources and social opportunites. This is a feudal society-pampered, isolationist and doing very little technological innovation. Feudal systems with their classes/castes endure for a long time but rarely develop until the system evolves to create equality. Forget about Ethiopia dominance for now.
In other news. I was informed by an Ethiopian that Tigriny, Armharic and Oromifa languages are derivatives of Greek language. I do not know if this is true or not. This could explain why they do not consider themselves as Africans. That Armharic was an army language (much of swahili in Uganda). Again this may explain why Ethiopia is still a military state. They believe in guns and force.

The thing about Ethiopia why its being talked about is numbers. Population of 100mn plus provides a good market for goods and services. The other thing is the huge infrastructure its being doing

Isnt their future bright with new PM Abiy? The Oromo are pacified and there's peace with Eritrea. Wonder how it'll go if PM switches to democracy Never been there but want to visit. I hear we get visa free entry. How is the place for a Kenyan tourist?

If Ethiopia is doing so well why are their youth so desperate to leave? As I write, there dozens of Habesh youths locked up in a container on the road trip to SA while others are trekking through the desert in Libya

The grass is always greener across the fence. Plus a population of 100M people is no joke survival for the fittest is all over.
