It was a separate country or colony until the 50s when it was forcibly annexed into Ethiopia. They fought a bloody 30 year war for independence and won it in 1991. They haven't quite gotten around to that first election yet, though. Another disaster left over by Italian and British colonization, exacerbated by the U.N.
