The ethnic diversity is large and includes more than 80 different ethnic groups and spoken languages, the three largest being Oromio, Amharic & Tigrinya. The country is 1,130,000 square kilometres; two times the size of France. It is located in the North-eastern corner of Africa, landlocked between Djibouti and Eritrea to the North, Somalia to the East, Sudan and South Sudan to the West and Kenya to the South. With it’s significant range in altitude, the highest point being 4,620 meters above and the lowest 116 meters below sea level, <strong>Ethiopia</strong> has three different climate zones. They offer a wide variety of flora and fauna. It is home to a number of unique and spectacular geological sites, among them Danakil Depression, the lowest place in Africa and the hottest place on the planet with one of the few permanent lava lakes. It is also home to a number of endemic mammals and more than 860 bird species out of which more than 30 are endemic. Addis Ababa is the capital of <strong>Ethiopia</strong> and is located in around 2700 meters which makes it the third highest located capitol in the world. It houses a large number of diplomatic missions, like the head quarters of African Union (AU), the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI), the United Nation Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) and of more than 90 other diplomatic missions and embassies. <strong>Ethiopia</strong> is among the few African countries that has its own alphabet, time system and calendar. <strong>Ethiopia</strong> is also known for its 2000-year-old history and for being the only African country, which was never colonised. The monuments of the Axumite Empire, the rock hewn churches of Lalibela, the castles of Gondar, the walled city of Harar, and the Konso Cultural Landscape are just a few of the historical Unesco World Heritage sites in the country. All over the country scientists are currently making important findings that contribute to our knowledge and understanding of the origin of our human race and it’s early development. <strong>Ethiopia</strong> is the homeland of coffee, of Lucy, the oldest found humanoid fossil, and of the first marathon athlete, Abebe Bikila, running barefoot and winning gold in the Olympics. <strong>Ethiopia</strong> has been struggling with droughts and famines for many years. But this image is finally changing as more and more people discover the unique value of this magnificent, diverse and culturally rich country and come to visit. 4
