Ethiopia stands as Africa’s oldest independent nation and a symbol of resilience. Tracing its roots to the Kingdom of Axum, the Ethiopian Empire ruled for over 800 years, with its emperors claiming descent from King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba.
Anchored by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, which has shaped its culture since 330 CE, Ethiopia’s history is a story of strength and identity. One of only two African nations never fully colonised, Ethiopia’s victory at the Battle of Adwa in 1896 against Italian forces remains a powerful moment of African pride.
