It seems the Ethiopians were more advanced in 700 B.C. than they are today.
Billions of dollars sent to that rat hole area and what can be shown for it? Rich dictator after rich dictator and a whole lot of poor, ignorant, people picking up sticks to to lite to cook the locusts that had fallen from the sky.
They don’t need money aid, they need God’s Word and a Constitution.
Funny their African brother Obama is trying to destroy both in this country. He wants to do for USA what has been done to Africa for millenia.
The way liberals/socialists/progressives/Marxists think, if all can’t be rich, by gosh, we will make them all poor.
You do realize that the Ethiopia is actually believed to have practiced Judaism from the time of Solomon and Christianity since the time of the Apostles? They have one of the longest and proudest Christian traditions of the entire church.
From Wikipedia:
“Although Christianity existed far before the rule of King Ezana the Great of the Kingdom of Axum, the religion took a strong foothold when it was declared a state religion in 330 AD. Pinpointing a date as to when Christianity emerged in Ethiopia will always probably be a mystery.
The earliest and best known reference to the introduction of Christianity was when the evangelist Philip converted an Ethiopian traveler in the 1st Century AD from the Acts of the Apostles.[2] Although the bible refers to them as Ethiopians, scholars have argued that Ethiopia was a common term used for encompassing the area South-Southeast of Egypt. According to church historian Nicephorus, the apostle St. Matthias preached the Christian Gospel to modern-day Ethiopia (then called Colchis) after having preached in Judea.[3]
Other traditions have the convert as a Jew who was a steward in the Queen’s court. All accounts do agree on the fact that the traveler was a member of the royal court who succeeded in converting the Queen, which in turn caused a church to be built. Rufinus of Tyre, a noted church historian, also has recorded a personal account as do other church historians such as Socrates and Sozemius.
The Garima Gospels are thought to be the world’s oldest illuminated Christian manuscripts.
The only pre-colonial Christian church of Sub-Saharan Africa, the Ethiopian Orthodox church has a membership of slightly more than 32 million people in Ethiopia, and is thus the largest of all Oriental Orthodox churches. Next in size are the various Protestant congregations, who include 13.7 million Ethiopians. The largest Protestant group is the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus, with about 5 million members. Roman Catholicism has been present in Ethiopia since the 16th century, and numbers 536,827 believers. In total, Christians make up 62.76% of the total population of the country.[1]”
