here are few of the ‘WHYs’
1. The People– The people of this old realm are a mixture of above 80 ethnic groups speaking above 70 different languages; they don’t seem so though, for they understand each other in almost every aspect of their lives.  To appreciate what diversity and living in peace with all the difference anyone might have, Ethiopia is the best choice. Having three thousand years of experience the people of this land has come to be unusually very kind for strangers and travellers. Once you are in their land their treatment would make you feel as if you are almost home. The lives of these people of innocent hearts will trigger your soul to look for a place among them. You, certainly, would be amazed of their social life; how they speak to each other; how they eat together. These well-mannered people live just a plane ticket away from your home.
2. Their HistoryEthiopians are not a nation of hundreds of years of history as most of the world’s countries are. Owning their own calendar, rather, they have a 3000 thousand years of existence. Remnants of the oldest kingdoms are living witnesses for these words of ours. The Axumite Kingdom that had been ruling across the Red Sea in to the Arab world has left its huge fingerprints on the exceptionally massive obelisks of Axum. The Zagwe Kingdom, on the other hand, has left us the miraculous Lalibela Church, made out of a single stone. A country that had been ruled by Kings and Queens, these days has a Prime minister. But, the history of these great kingdoms has been reserved, so that the world can see the last 3000 years.
