The country has three different climate zones. The lower altitudes have a hot, swampy climate, and the higher the elevation, the more dry, semi-desert conditions you will get. ]]> 2019-01-23 23:29:43 UTC https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/323721860 345410 https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/323722414 2019-01-23 23:33:50 UTC https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/323722414 345410 https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/323723036 The Ethiopian Monarchy maintaianed it's freedom from colonial rule, but before that, from around 1270 (beginning of Solomonid Dynasty) until 1974 was the Ethiopian empire. ]]> 2019-01-23 23:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/323723036 345410 https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/323723789 Imperialism, unlike every other African country except Liberia, was not forced upon Ethiopia by Europe.

Most of these problems still phase the country today, but they were more prominent in the past. ]]> 2019-01-23 23:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/323724453 345410 https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/323725545 Ethiopia (population of 105 million as of 2017) is home to 80 different ethnic groups, including Oromo, Amhara, Somali, and Tigrayans. ]]> 2019-01-23 23:58:46 UTC https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/323725545 345410 https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/323725850 Not much has improved for the third poorest country in the world, but in October of 2008, the government signed a peace deal with the separatist Ogaden National Liberation Front (ONLF), ending a 34-year armed rebellion.]]> 2019-01-24 00:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/323725850 345410 https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/323726056 Because of Ethiopia's poor economy and mostly poverty-stricken population, I do not think things will get much better for Ethiopia. In my opinion, they need less corrupt government officials and more good jobs to help the country get back on it's feet. With a strong leader who wants the best for his country, I think that they could slowly make it out of poverty, but seen as how that is unlikely to happen and the corruption and poverty will continue, things are not looking good for Ethiopia. ]]> 2019-01-24 00:03:01 UTC https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/323726056 345410 https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/324006910 Most concerns and disputes between groups of people in and around Ethiopia are about land and distribution of gods, since between native people, there are no real boundaries, besides the boundaries of the country. There have also been disputes about distribution of goods, seen as how the government in Ethiopia is corrupt and weak, and they don't pay attention to things like that. ]]> 2019-01-24 16:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/324006910 345410 https://padlet.com/345410/tjfwk7857k7t/wish/324012683 The land in Ethiopia is subject to erosion, overgrazing, deforestation, and frequent droughts. Water shortages are common in some areas during the dry season. The causes of degradation are primarily the demand for more land and agriculture, fuel and construction as well as grazing grounds.
