President position is largely a ceremonial one.


The Amharanization process that was imposed on Ethiopia from 1880s till 1991 had very much affected them. That's why.

The region is also inhabited by many different ethnic groups, so Amhargn was chosen as the official language of the region government to resolve the language problem.


• Addis Ababa - almost from all corners of the country, but Amharas, Oromos, Tigrays and Gurages are the majority.
• Biher Dar - Amharas
• Dire Dawa - Amharas, Oromos, Hararis
• Gondar - Amharas
• Mekele - Tigrays
• Awasa - southern Nations Nationalities and Peoples and Amharas
• Harar - Hararis, Amharas and Oromos
• Adama/Nazareth - Oromos
• Dessie - Amharas
• Debre Marqos - Amharas
• Debre Brehan - Amharas
• There are other +100,000 cities/towns

Ethiopia has 9 Regions and 2 Federal States.

• Afar: Capital City, Semera
• Amhara: CC, Biher Dar
• Benishangul-Gumuz: CC,!Asosa
• Gambela: CC, Gambela
• Harari: CC, Harar

No, it's only few of them that have this midst. Most of them like other Africans and support Africa teams during major competition event.

Even those that have that midst, they mostly interact with other Africans when the see and most of the women like to date/marry black Habesha, black non Habeshas. I don't know that much about with other Africans.


I don't know about other Horners, but most Ethiopians don't know what is going on in most of African countries. They feel all African(except SA and Arabs) countries are poor like them.
80% of Ethiopians live in rural areas, so they haven't affected that much by globalization.

Some urban Ethiopians who relatively know better about other African countries struggle to migrate to Sudan, Kenya, South Africa.

Most Ethiopians(the one who are relatively globalized) don't know Nigeria has the biggest economy in Africa. Most think it's South Africa. I will try to advertise how Nigeria cities are beautiful, it's people diversity and many many other positive things. Same also for Kenya.

I myself though that other than the Horn Africans, all Africans are very similar and their isn't that much diversity in those countries, Even if I knew about many African countries name. I thank NL and you guys for educating me very much. The knowledge I got and still getting in NL is beyond I can ask for.

genieluv:


How can you guys say northerners were less informed? When they were the first group of present day Nigerians to start reading, writing n travelling outside Africa on voyages since pre-colonial times?

**** My reply to Ngozi will do you some good too cos i can't start typing all over. We are somehow saying basically the same thing.

Jayceon:
Is that why they don't have a K9 unit in their police force ? .they ate all their German Sharpeds

QueenOfNepal:
I think you need to focus on fashion works here and leave anything pertaining to history and poitics to those who took it upon themselves to read wide and not some folklore your dad told you at a fire place.


Your reasoning sounds too shallow to engage you.

Hati13:

Yeah, it's also the same here.

What do you think is the reason for the lightness of some of the Nigerians in almost all ethnicities in Nigeria.

Marcelo290:
This is very true, environmental determinism.

genieluv:


Naaah, those clothes belong mostly to Yorubas (South-western Nigerians) buh they are also worn by other groups.
Here are northern Nigerian clothes (core-northern)

jln115:

Google is your friend........ honestly doesn't mean much to have more Animals than the rest of Africa since only Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana , Namibia and Zimbabwe have any large mammals species left:

Total heads of large game:

Kenya: 700 000
Namibia:3 000 000
Botswana:+-2 000 000
Tanzania: less than 1 000 000
Zimbabwe: +- 1 500 000

South Africa: 20 500 000

@TayserMahiri

jln115:

I know the British did the same to SA, yet you didn't see us blaming it on the colonial masters!!

Yeah didn't Kenya resontly lose its last Northern White Rhino?? Congrats on your conservation efforts only one of your species went extinct in the last 2 years clap clap

Maybe you should unban hunting....just a thought!

Shaytun:
Ara

NairobiWalker:


It's not about meaning anything. It's about being factual........and where did you get these crappy numbers? lol. Maasai Mara alone has over 1 million heads of wildebeest alone dude (the population is actually over 3M after migration from Tanzania). That's just wildebeest - and here you claim Kenya has 700,000 heads of animals?

fanficgirl:

Has this really turned into animals? . Everything is a fight for Africans.

jln115:

That's what ignorant people who do nothing and know nothing about conservation will say

Jay254:


I saw you guys breeding lions like broiler chicken... It's not same as Lion producing in the wild.. S.A has allowed GMO Foods while they are highly illegal here, we let nature take it's cause...

TayserMahiri:


Now if only you could provide a link. Cos you are definitely wrong. The wildebeasts that migrate between kenyan and Tanzania are 2 million in number, so any of Kenya or Tz should have no less than 1 million animals. I believe Wildebeasts are large game.

Can you disprove her? That is the issue here and not long long talk.

fanficgirl:
Who manufactured these?

jln115:

Those are migrating animals, only permanent heads of game are counted
