Ethiopia

The land of Ethiopia is a vast and mountainous region in northeastern Africa, with the arid plains of the Sudan to the west and the equally difficult terrain of the Harar to the east. Humans have dwelt here longer than almost any other place on Earth - remains of proto-hominids have been discovered in southern Ethiopia that date back millions of years. The history of this region is long, complex, and poorly understood.
