About Ethiopia And The Horn Of Africa
ETHIOPIA, which lies at the heart of the Horn of Africa, is a fertile mountain plateau surrounded by the blazing coastal and inland deserts of Somalia, Kenya and Sudan. Ethiopia has a rich Christian heritage; it was one of the first Christian nations and is mentioned in the Bible more than 60 times. The rise of Islam in the 7th century led to conflict with the   previously well established Coptic Church, now called the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. In 1974 Emperor HaileSelassie   was overthrown, and a Marxist regime ruled the nation until 1991. During the Marxist years Christians were severely persecuted. A series of droughts in the 1970s and 1980s killed tens of thousands of people, leaving vast stretches of the Ethiopian countryside barren, and the people impoverished. Ethiopia, with it's 62 million people, is expected to   overtake that of Egypt and, by 2050, may even supplant Nigeria as the most populous country on the continent of Africa. But is still in a state of shock from death, famine, and war. It seems the nation has lost it's sense of identity and purpose, leaving it divided on regional and ethnic lines. Through all these difficulties, the church has continued to grow and flourish.
The plow has long been an important aid to cultivation in the Horn, and the one-humped Arabian camel -- the dromedary  -- is an ancient domestic animal there. Most of the people of the Horn have facial features similar to Mediterranean Europeans, but with darker complexions while those of Sudan and East Africa are Black African.
The Horn of Africa, aptly named for it's resemblance to a rhinoceros horn, includes the countries of Ethiopia, Sudan, Somalia, Djibouti and Eritrea. The Horn has closer cultural ties with Arabia, across the Red Sea, than with it's   neighbors in eastern Africa.
The history of the Horn of Africa has largely been dominated by Ethiopia, which has almost 60% of the population of the entire region. Ethiopia's history has been characterized by struggles between Muslim and other herdsmen and the largely Christian farmers for resources and living space.
