Ethiopia

Green represents hope and the fertility of the land, yellow symbolizes justice and harmony, while red stands for sacrifice and heroism in the defense of the land; the blue of the disk symbolizes peace and the pentagram represents the unity and equality of the nationalities and peoples of Ethiopia. Aside from a brief Italian occupation from 1936 to 1941, Ethiopia maintained its ancient monarchy until 1974, when the Derg, a military junta, established a socialist state, which lasted until 1991. In 1994, a new constitution was adopted, and the first multiparty elections were held in 1995. Ethiopia is slightly less than two times the size of Texas, with a total area of 1,104,300 sq km. The geologically active Great Rift Valley makes Ethiopia susceptible to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Ethiopia is also plagued by frequent droughts. Amarigna (Amharic) is Ethiopia’s official language. It natural resources include small reserves of gold, platinum, copper, potash, natural gas, and hydropower. Ethiopia is a federal republic, has a population of 93,815,992 people, and its capital is Addis Ababa. It is the oldest independent country in Africa, and one of the oldest in the world. The Abyssinian lion is its national symbol.
